Imagine thinking this is clever.
The party who funded the wholesale destruction of Gaza is somehow the "less genocide party".
People get your head out of your asses. This is embarassing as a human being.
It’s so embarrassing. Both American political parties are enthusiastically pro genocide.
Let's leave aside all of Kamala's statements condemning Netanyahu and his genocide for a moment. And let's instead ask whether you're capable of perceiving the difference between one genocide and three. That difference is millions of lives. Do millions of lives matter to you, or are they just a statistic, inseparable from the thousands already dead in Gaza?
Talk is cheap coming from a politician who speaks out of both sides of her mouth depending on the audience. She didn’t do shit as VP to stop this so why should voters assume any differently if she was president?
One genocide or three wtf are you talking about? Both parties are EQUAL when it comes to pushing American imperialism around the world. We’re a one party empire and our main export is weapons.
You're wasting your breath, drag is Lemmy's morally enlightened philosopher who somehow thinks non-voters are to blame for not choosing to support a genocide, but the DNC is completely blameless in their unconditional support of a fascist committing a genocide because Trump would commit it worse.
Drag'll likely respond and start insulting your intelligence, will probably call you a nazi fascist who wants drag and all of drag's friends dead, and then try to explain why not supporting genocide is significantly worse than supporting it.
All while acting like drag's the ooooooooonly one who understands how the world works, how morality works, how individual understandings of the world may vary from person to person to culture.
And if you write more than 4 sentences, drag will complain that you're long-winded and taking too many words to "be wrong." And that you're writing as much as you are because you "fail to understand what drag is saying."
In other words, drag let drag's fleeting popularity due to a post regarding drag's preferred pronouns give drag the impression that drag is morally and intellectually superior to those around drag.
Aka, drag is a joke, don't waste your breath arguing with Lemmy's most enlightened
fascism supporting liberalcOmMuNiSt. 🙄In a different comment this person claimed to be an anarchist. I thanked them for the laughs.
Drag is talking about 38 million Ukrainian lives, 3 million trans American lives, and 3 million West Bank Palestinian lives. Lives which you don't care about. Lives you are so apathetic about, you can't even see them as different from any other statistic.
So... Explain to me how continuing to support the genocide of 3 million West Bank Palestinian lives is caring about the lives of 3 million West Bank Palestinians? And remind me... What support were the Dems showing when, the day after the election, two congressional Democrats came out and said the DNC was too woke on trans issues.
So... Explain to me how the DNC immediately scapegoating the trans community after their abysmal loss due to their own failed campaign... Is showing that they care about American trans lives? Where in her, or any Democrats campaign, was their platform for enshrining LGBTQ+ equality into law? Huh, funnily enough, drag, none of them had one.
And then... Explain to me how the DNC and Biden refusing to let Ukraine use long-range American weapons inside of Russian territory for well over two years is showing care and concern for Ukrainian people? Or, why does Ukraine, who are fighting off a foreign invader, why do they have stipulations on how they can use American weapons, but Israel can just level hospital after hospital in Gaza and that's completely morally justified? At least Ukraine aims for strategic resource infrastructure and not apartment blocks and schools like Israel (who still is receiving Biden, and then de facto because she doesn't do anything against it, Harris, unconditional support from the Biden admin).
Lives you are so apathetic about, you can't even see them as different from any other statistic.
So you're completely fine with the 43,000 Palestinian civilians who have been killed at the hands of Biden and Harris administration, those are just a statistic that you're completely fine with because... They're worth losing because statistically there are more lives to save in your own country.
Wow, I had to look it up, but you're right drag... Someone choosing not to support a genocide is completely apathetic, but you, the one willing to trade Palestinian lives for American trans lives, you're the most empathetic person I've ever met. Literally the definition of empathy right here, folks!!! The embodiment of the fucking Buddha right here, kill as many Palestinians as needed, they're just collateral compared to Americans trans lives.
Again, the same lives the DNC threw under the bus the day after the election.
Good to see you're continuing to double down on your absurdity, drag, still can't find anyone to point the finger at besides non-voters? How many letters and phone calls have you made to your Democratic elected officials demanding they take more action against your morally just causes? I imagine none, since you seem more concerned with alienating and disenfranchising non-voters than you are actually fixing liberalism and the DNC as a whole.
If those lives were so important to you, then you and your party should have given a fuck about them while you had the chance. You don't get to act like the morally superior good guy while refusing to make your party even 1% less genocidal for any reason ever. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
The party who funded the wholesale destruction of Gaza is somehow the “less genocide party”.
The funding was passed with bipartisan support, and always has. The funding is also supposed to have guardrails that limit it being used for genocide, and while the Dems are ineffectual at actually enforcing those guardrails Trump has already said that he wants Israel to finish the job and tends to follow through on his worst statements.
Anyone who chose not to vote for the possibility of less genocide (on top of a million other negative things that will come out of a Trump presidency) chose more genocide.
