Can we please get the order straight? First keep Trump out of office. Them protest and make them hear your voice. I know it's a shitty situation, but this is not the time. The election is in some days and no matter what you do, nothing will change until then. So keep the monster out of the white house.

Agreed. Democracy needs to be preserved.

Not to even mention that Trump would be worse.

Live to fight another day.

Unlike 45,000 Palestinians.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure. Because I'm sure a right wing authoritarian who not only reads but plagiarizes Hitler would be the better bet for Palestine and would definitely support your right to protest in the future.

But go off.

Lol, you people are pathetic, you don't just demand a vote, you demand an end to any criticism on the gravest sin a politician can commit.

Keep up that projection and strawmanning. It's a great look.

ETA: and whining about criticism and equivocating that I'm censoring you in the process is just the icing on the cake. Are you sure you're not a Conservative engaging in astroturfing?

Projection, pure, simple, predictably boring.

Enjoy your lesser genocide, liberal.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

I will. And I'll eat a baby while I'm at it, too.

Olay on YouTube put it this way: you vote for your weakest adversary. Harris may be shit on Palestine but she probably won’t tell cops to just start murdering protesters.

That's the first time I've seen "vote for the lesser evil" phrased in a way to make it actually appealing.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Even if I were a single issue voter on Palestine, I'd vote for Harris, because that's better for Palestinians than not voting for Harris.

Anything less is caring more about my own sense of purity than helping them.

Caring about people in a way where it's more about you being caring than about their well-being is a nasty fucking trap, and not just here.

Literally that was her point. Vote for Harris, but that's not good enough on its own.

Its amazing that despite clearly calling Harris as better top comment is still asking her to shut up until after the election. Way to miss the whole ass point of her words
