    We’ve got reality to face here, bud. We can’t wish a 3rd nominee who is magically untouched by AIPAC into existence. There are none.

        This seems like an opportunity for you to explain why the points being made are invalid, rather than just mocking them via meme.

        It’s a brute fact that either Harris or Trump is going to be inaugurated as POTUS next January, and it’s also a fact that Trump would be worse for Gaza’s cause than maintaining the status quo. If I’m guaranteed an evil outcome in both cases, why shouldn’t I try to sway the course of history towards the lesser of the two possible evils?

        You try hard every single day, I’ll give you that

        You certainly have a hard on for the Democrats, ko matter who the candidate is

        I’d call you a paid actor but that’s against the rules so you’re just an agent provocateur imho

    Not voting Harris inherently helps Trump. If you’re too stupid to realize we only have two options and we need to choose the least harmful one, then that’s your own damn fault. Grow the fuck up.

      Who’s saying not to vote for Harris? I will. Some won’t because of the genocide. That is their right.

        Seriously I’m not trying to start T, but I can’t help but feel there’s a disconnect in the memes you’re posting, and the takes you’re having in the comments. To me this meme, and others you have posted, seem to try to catch progressives, dems, leftists, whatever demographic, in this sort of gotcha that is the same gotcha that actual right wing actors are trying to use to push potential voters for Harris to vote third party or not at all. Does voting for Harris still make us complicit in genocide. Yeah, sure, probably, but putting Trump in office makes us all a whole lot more than complicit. I think we are in agreement. Genocide bad. Trump bad. Trump make genocide worse. Harris not great. But Harris better for US and probably for Palestine in the long term.

        Idk, maybe consider shifting your posting away from right wing “gotchas” to things that actually get people discussing the issues rather than trying to make them feel bad for feeling trapped in the two party system and maybe accidentally pushing them away from participating in the political process. Seems like it’s bringing heat your way from commenters, and honestly, the whole “I’m just being devils advocate because someone has to be” is just making you a blah person to interact with no matter how you plan to vote, who you support where, and which issues are deal breakers for you. Tbh we aren’t really in a position to be picky.

            Babe you’re seriously missing the point. I think the vast majority of people here are aware there’s a genocide happening. I’d say plenty have done their best to directly support those affected according to our means. The “stopping genocide” is happening in other places, and you’re invited, if you can look past the unnecessarily inflammatory memes.

            At a point this is barely a discussion of politics and social issues, and just your delivery being, to be frank, mid. You’re just posting stuff designed to make people feel bad for taking care of as many people as they can, both at home and the world over. We’re all on board, now let’s talk and organize and go DO, not repost weird backwards right wing talking points.

              Your use of the benevolent sexist term “babe” is frankly, cringe. And your elicited response confirms the effectiveness of this post. If people are doing all they can, then why is the genocide still happening?

                Lmaooo!! The tits on my chest say I’ve got my “babe” card I think. Cringe doesn’t exist and I won’t get into the irony of you mansplaining the sexist history of the word “babe” to a gal. My “response” was that you’re being unnecessarily inflammatory without being constructive. The post did not make me feel bad because I’m confident in my support of my community both local and global. I am in fact doing what my means allow for as many people as possible as I believe many of the people on this app are. Maybe these memes are a cry for help because you are actually self conscious of not having done more for your various communities and you now exist largely alone, both in person and in digital spaces. But that’s a whole different discussion for your therapist.

                Welcome to the library, you been read.

    I’m not fighting with them anymore. They made their choice. They’ll have to live with it. If Apophis doesn’t kill us or we don’t all die in the inevitable collapse of the US, they’ll have to explain to their grandkids that they put their comfort above 2 and 1/2 million human lives.

        He was a great villain in Stargate.

        I’d like to have new Stargate. But im sure they’d ruin it. But imagine a mission based game where you play an SG team. You go to different planets to explore. Make friends. Fight enemies. Gather resources. And it would sell itself on Nostalgia alone.
