Creating rifts with leftists and focusing on the pressing issues of 2024 instead for swallowing your pride and working towards a common cause with opponents of the US regime is definitely a good plan.
post
why are you focussing on the (let's be honest here) insignificant amount of american communists who draw the line at genocide (how dare they find genocide unacceptable!) instead of, yknow, the solid third of your country that saw the first trump term, project 2025, and all that, and went "more of this, please!"?
or even then, why not focus on the party whose job it is to appeal to voters??? it doesn't take a political expert to know that there's only so much "vote for me so we can make things suck more, but slower" before people get tired of your bullshit.
B-but, don't you know that the Democrats deserve your vote just by virtue of them not being Republicans??? It was super nae nae litty fam fam when Harris had mad aura with Liz Cheney, right???
Who cares that they'd bomb Muslim babies, doesn't it matter to you that they'd only do it half as often???

Maybe if they get enough votes they will turn around and do the things that you care about.
I can't even say that's a joke because that's an actual argument someone made to explain why it's important to vote for democrats.
who draw the line at genocide (how dare they find genocide unacceptable
Because, if they actually gave a shit about Palestinians, they would have actually tried to prevent the man who green-lit the acceleration of the genocide from winning instead of fighting the woman who no one can even prove would have actuallu supported it.
Edit: I dont know how to do a quote reply apparently
Yeah, idiots act like Harris not really giving a hard stance either way is 100% identical to Trump who basicallyntold everyonenhe wanted to bulldoze Gaza and put in hotels.
Also, the idea that people should ultimately put the hypothetical well being of fucking Israel/Palestine as their only top choice for voting over literally all the other hidious local bull shit that Trump and crew telehraphed they were going to do is absurd. Harris could have campaigned on flat out nuking Gaza and still been 10000% the beter choice.
At this point all these people still bitching about Genocide and Harris have to be some sort of troll farm shills or just flat out fucking stupid.
liberals are handing out blocks now? can I get one?
Calling me a liberal for trying to prevent the fascist?
the fascist
Lol. You mean trying to stop one particular fascist in favor of another
where is that block?
Your supposed to be doing the block.
It's no surprise you confused the instructions.
I don't think you know how blocks work. if they block me, they can't see me: their feed is clean. if I block them, they still see me. have you read any of the release notes?
I don't think you understand why they're asking you to do the blocking.
If you block them you don't see them and you don't respond. Your inability to see that secondary effect is why you are what you are.
oh, I understand the secondary effect, but what they asked won't clean their feed
It will clean it because you won't have a reason to comment.
This secondary effect really does explain why y'all can't see beyond a purity test.
all they gotta do is block me and it won't matter if I comment. I'm not there one who has problems with others being wrong on the Internet. it's them who should do the blocking.
My favorite part is how they think they understand. They always think they do.
Indistinguishable from arguing with an above average Trump supporter. Or religion for a less inflammatory comparison.
Its called Believe Perseverance. What's weird is how widely it get applied. We're not even talking about specific ideologies but it's still being used as a defense mechanism.
i love watching the discourse from outside the us.
if harris won you'd probably still accept queer people in the army to direct tomahawk missiles onto iranian school girls, your deportation policy wouldn't be as outrageous but still draconic and half your country would've continued to kill themselves due to medical debt :)
No, you see, bombing brown children and preventing things from getting better is the same and bombing brown children and making things worse!!
Whatever helps you sleep at night, knowing you didnt actually oppose trump
Lemmy users try not to post American politics challenge, Level 3000 IMPOSSIBLE!!!
You put up multiple filters and yet still people come out with content that bypasses that.
Can't wait until this ends up like Reddit where people will post millions of videos of Trump in a cringe community because people can't seem to stop "spreading awareness" by being nothing short of insufferable.
Feel free to block this community then because we dont accept Fascism Lite. When Gaven Newsom looses the election in 2028 to probably Marco Rubio I can almost guarantee you'll be blaming everyone from leftists to minorities for not enthusiastically voting for the same politicians that dont fix anything (at this point they cant even stop things from getting worse).
when on god's green earth has anyone said this?
This seems like a massive (but sneaky) strawman, because the REAL argument is "kamala would have been better but still far beyond acceptable, and the democrats specifically chose her because they didn't want to win, so why should we bother with the democrats ever again?"
you can block me
You failed to even try to disable to the fascists , and call yourself a commie? Disgraceful
you literally don't know anything about me or what I've done. do you need help finding the block button?
Hi there! I’m your personal NSA liaison 🙂 I, in fact, do know everything about you—it is my punishment. Your recent searches are deplorable, please stop making me review them. Please.
I can help you find the block button, too, if you like.
You can block me then. With how blocking works on this site, there's no point in me blocking you since you'd still see me stating the things that make you uncomfortable.
I just call them out for the fuck heads they are. Everyone of them uses the same 5 failed arguments they've been told to say. You can practically copy and paste your own replies to shut them up.
They dont learn though. Id like to have productive conversations with people who meaningfully discuss the differences between Newsom and Harris, and that cant happen if people in the room are suggesting that Trump and Harris are the same. Edit: this is not an endorsement of Newsom. I dont like him. He's better than trump. He's still rotten.
