    the donors of the Democrats/Republicans are doing a good job keeping the citizens divided and pointing fingers at each other

      Yeah, no.

      After months of alleged “Genocide Joe” bullshit, they don’t get to shirk themselves of this.

      They were told this was going to happen. They didn’t want to listen.

        But hey, they’ve gone from not complicit, to extremely complicit.

          Your statement that we were not complicit before is just plain old lies.

        alleged “Genocide Joe” bullshit

        For a guy who’s only alleged, he sure does support a lot of genocide.

        I see, so you are going to let them have it by whining and nagging on anonymous forums? Is that how you will keep them from “shirking”?

        Nothing alleged about Genocide Joe.

        Any vote for Harris or trump was still a vote for the war crimes to continue. The American people never had a say on this issue.

          And yet, this very article we’re commenting on is about war crimes getting worse.

          Almost like when your options are “bad” or “worse” you shouldn’t vote for “worse.”

            Except it isn’t because the US has been continually supolying the arms Israel needs to carry out this genocide and these supposed “restrictions” are a fig leaf.

            Again, the Biden-Harris regime provides unconditional support to Israel and its genocide. Recycled clichés about lesser evils don’t apply.

            That sounds like some extortion. Not exactly something I would want to champion or believe to be a viable political platform

              That… is nothing the fuck like extortion.

              “Vote for me or I’ll release these pictures of you fucking your dog” is extortion.

              “Vote for me because my opponent will make this issue you claim to care about worse” is not.

                “Vote for me or my friend here will kill your dog” is the alleged scenario.

                Though really the person making that threat is also saying they will kill your dog.

              Life gives us hard choices. Whining that they don’t perfectly suit your pristine moral absolutism doesn’t change that.

                Oh, I’m sorry genocide isn’t a big enough issue for you, I hope you get a new set of morals soon, yours seems damaged.

                Normalizing genocide is not a hard choice, it just confronted boilerplate Dem propaganda and any pretense of being a good person.

                If you are intetested in doing real political work it will not be something as minor as a single vote for 99% Hitler vs. 98% Hitler.

          There are differences in degree between Trump and the Democrats, and anyone who claims otherwise is malicious or ignorant. But stick to your binary thinking and reflect on what you’ve done to the rest of us by putting Trump back into power.

            That’s true, there is a difference! While the genocide would receive material support either way, Democrats receive your support and silence while Republicans do not.

        It is, of course. Matginslization is created and maintained to suit ruling class interests, to ensure you blame the marginslized rather than the capitalist.

        Why do you think immigrants are being scapegoated? Did they close the factories or fire the workers?
