We turn to Kamala Harris’s position on Israel’s war on Gaza, which many are calling a genocide. After she was asked about calls to condition U.S. arms shipments to Israel by CNN reporter Dana Bash, Harris refused to consider halting the flow of weapons and instead affirmed her support of Israel. This position violates both federal and international law, argues Palestinian American political analyst Yousef Munayyer, and, coupled with her campaign’s denial of a requested Palestinian American speaking spot from “uncommitted” voters at the DNC, he warns that “Harris could be worse than Biden” when it comes to U.S. support for Israel.
I love when liberals actually put things in these terms because it’s so much more honest than how they typically talk about it.
A candidate supporting genocide means they don’t, “give us every little fucking thing we want, and MORE.” A pro-genocide candidate is still a “7/10.” Good, yes, drop the pretense and tell the truth that you just don’t really give a shit how many foreigners get murdered, instead of trying to act like some bleeding heart. Exposing the contradictions like that is good.
Saying one is better than the other does not mean people don’t care about people dying. That’s extremely dishonest and arguing in bad faith. Ffs. If I have to cut off my arm or my finger, I don’t like either but I can realize the best choice.
I could say that by going after Kamala for this you don’t care if Trump wins, you only care about the middle east. But that would be dishonest, so I’m not making absurd leaps in logic, but that seems to be how your approaching this topic. If all you can do is argue in bad faith then there’s no room for a conversation.
That’s what I’m saying. Usually you lot wring your hands and say, “Oh, we really care so much about the genocide, it’s just Trump is so much worse, don’t you know.” But then you have comments like these that call genocide a “little thing,” and that it only docks a couple points off of how you’d rate a politician. So it reveals that all you posturing that you care is fake. You might prefer that it not happen, all else being equal, but it hardly matters to you at all.
A politician supporting genocide is like getting a different flavor of ice cream than what you wanted. This sort of honesty is rare, and it makes a much better starting point then the bullshit y’all are always pushing about how much you care. It’s a waste of time trying to argue against premises a person is merely pretending to hold.
“You lot”? What lot am I lol, I’m curious what stereotypical bucket you’ve decided I’m in.
You then put “little thing” in quotes. I’ve never once called genocide a little thing, ever. This is more dishonesty. I said it makes her less desirable, that’s reality, I expressed that with a 10 point scale. What do you want me to make her and Trump both 0/10, act like they’re the same?
But somehow I don’t care because I can see that all things considered one candidate is better than the other. You seem to tell me how I feel, who I am, and what I think. And now you’re telling me this doesn’t even matter to me? How transparent
…
Ok well I stopped reading the rest. Your not even making a point you’re just making wild assumptions and telling me who I am. Well I can tell you what I’ve observed about you. You don’t care about facts, reality, or nuance. You’re a hyped up activist that has lost the plot all for this crusade. You’re willing to let the world burn and attack anyone who doesn’t think this is all that matter in the world.
You need to grow up and understand that wars and death happen throughout history. Most people don’t like it, and since you can’t stop making wild assumptions let me state clearly that I don’t like it. But if we drop everything and hyper focus on every single war while letting corrupt politicians who want to stop voting and remove rights at home then it helps nothing. If Trump is in office not only does he not help either, but he causes more harm. The net amount of suffering in the world goes up, and that’s what matters. I’m looking at the global stage and you can’t seem to expand your mind to see the big picture.
Keep ranting and raving if you want. Tell me who I hate and that I love seeing people die or whatever, I don’t care. You’re a lost cause.

The comment you’re defending did. Calling it dishonesty is, ironically dishonesty.
