Fox News did not air a second of the speeches from alienated GOP leaders and former Trump officials who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris at this week’s Democratic National Convention.

      I’ll never understand why you MAGA propagandists want the guy who bombed the shit out of Yemen to help Israel “finish the job” before turning against Ukraine and then domestically. But I think genocide is bad, so that’s the difference, I suppose.

          Only one of two candidates will win. So, unlike you MAGAs, I’m voting for the outcome that won’t include Donald “finishing the job.”

            You are the reason the Democrats are doing genocide. If they knew they’d lose voters because of their stance on Israel they would be forced to change their platform. They believe they can commit unlimited genocide because their voters are loyal dogs who will beg for more.

              It’s actually people voting third party that forces Dems to chase people who will actually vote for them. 1/3 of the country doesn’t vote at all. If everyone voted so that the Repub platform was nonviable, the parties would have to move left to compete.

              Why do you hate Ukrainians so much that you want them to be genocided? Why do you hate women so much that you want them to be unwilling incubators?

                Republicans have only moved farther to the right after every single Democratic victory. 2008 turned them into insane racist teaparty lunies. 2020 turned them all MAGA. They’re just going to become even more deranged when Harris wins. Your theory can’t explain that.

                  None of that has anything to do with the Dems. You act like Dems are pushing the GOP further right which is hilarious.

                  The GOP is doing that on their own because that’s who they are and conservatives have always been.

                    The theory of why Democrats move towards Republican positions is that they do it as a response to Republican victory.

                    We both agree this isn’t how Republicans behave.

                    Let’s also remember 2020. Every candidate ran to the left of Clinton. The reality was that they didn’t move to the right after Trump’s first victory.

                    So it doesn’t look like this is how Democrats behave either.

                    This theory of politics isn’t backed up by the observed reality. Why do you think that is?

                  That’s Southern Strategy. I know you MAGAs actually enjoy the push towards white supremacy, but that would not be a viable strategy for riling up their voters if the remaining 1/3 of the country actually showed up.

                  There’s also a ratcheting effect, where your team puts in theocratic fascist SCOTUS justices. They then do stuff like steal elections (2000) or grant unlimited election interference to anyone with money (2010), alongside your desired goals like ending women’s rights to healthcare.

                    I’m voting downticket for Democrats, get off my nuts. I just won’t vote for genocide.

                    Why can’t Democrats have a Northern strategy?

            I’m not voting for a candidate that is committing genocide or one that will commit more genocide.

          Please tell me who to vote for that has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning that is against genocide?

          I usually vote third party. I fucking love Jill Stein. But keeping Trump out of office is far too important. Trump wants to hand Bibi all of Palestine. Harris can and will be pushed to ending weapons sales. Pressure will get to where she has no choice. Trump doesn’t respond to anything other than what his crazy brain wants at the time.

      If we stop supporting Israel in an election year trump wins. Is that hard to understand?

        Okay, so if supporting Israel will make Democrats win then you don’t need my vote. Clearly you’re going to win without me. 🤷‍♀️

            I voted for Democrats every year since fucking 2012. Genocide is my red line.

            You’ll vote for them when they’re rounding us into camps.
