"At least democrat-backed genocide will help the gays"

If both sides are the same, can we at least veer a little bit away from fascism? Hint: both sides are not the same. Your vote for democracy does matter.

This person is a mod. This is a fake lefty community, co-opted for election interference. The mod is going extremely far out of their way to target the left-leaning candidate specifically and never the right-leaning. It's an attempt to sow division and secure the election for Trump.

- I don't need to preach to the choir about ultra conservatives being ultra conservatives, that's a given
  
  + as I already said in another comment: If your definition of "left leaning" is "genocidal neoliberal war criminal", that's on you

- Maybe do something between voting. Voting is the bare minimum. Then you fight the years between.

The shills are going hard in the last two weeks huh

The communists are really trying to get lefties to not vote, giving the election to Trump.

Supposedly all to make a statement about Gaza's importance, something a lot of Americans actually don't agree with simply because Gazans are not very easy to sympathize with. And that's not only because of racism.

Realistically of course we know that a majority of them really just want the US to decend into a messy revolution as soon as possible, so Xi and Putin can conquer their targets with weak or no US opposition.

Of course there could be a revolution if they had the numbers but it'll more likely be flashes of civil war, something the right is genuinely more serious about trying to win. There would be a breakdown of logistics, fracturing of territory, and terrible suffering and massive amounts of death – mostly not from combat.

Maybe some extra delusional communists here hope to find a nice spot in the oppressive one party system they envision for the US, of course a massive long shot which would never gain broad control over the country even if one was established. Most Americans wouldn't tolerate it and rather defer to state governance.

  How is this any way to talk about... anyone? I don't need them to be easy to sympathize with, they are automatically entitled to it. Cuz they're dying. Lets be real clear. Our governments involvement with Israel is fucking awful and Americans have blood on our hands. We can agree or disagree about our own politics but don't let animosity get the better of you. We are brutalizing innocent people. You and I owe them dignity even if our lifestyles aren't compatible with theirs or whatever.

Fuck, Harris is also campaigning on a trans genocide as well? Harris will appoint more Supreme Court members that will strip more rights? Harris is campaigning of ethnically cleansing the us? Fuck, I need to read more news to stay informed about how the literal fascist and the milquetoast center right democrat are literally the same.

I’m sorry but if you believe you can only be gay if brown people get genocided you’re not gay and you just want to kill children.

- So who is the viable option that will stop the ongoing genocides AND protect our rights here? We can’t really do much if we all have our rights taken away, too.

Damn, I can't wait to hear about all the things you're doing to try and actually end the abominable genocide against the people of Palestine. Meanwhile the rest of us are looking for ways to do that and also voting against the guy who promised to double-down and bring the violence home against immigrants.

Pretending Trump's presidency wouldn't be objectively worse for all the causes leftists care about, even the ones (like Palestine) Harris isn't going to do shit about isn't taking a principled stand. It's hiding from what little power you have in the electoral system in order to keep whatever happens next off your conscience. And frankly, the Palestinians don't care about your conscience any more than the Hispanic Americans or trans kids.

What have you looked at so far?

  3 days on, and the list is still being compiled... I guess?

All children deserve safety.

I'm out. If the OP is so stupid to not see the obvious choice (Kamala) compared to a felon, literal shit stain, I won't even mention the name of. I don't even know. OP, you are actually stupid, or so far dissociated from reality? I feel sorry for you.

Obviously both parties have cons (obviously some less than others) but it's a 2 party system your country is ingrained in. You literally have 2 choices. Fascism or not fascism. I'm not from the US, but I know what I'd do if I was.

Fuck fascism, fuck you op, and especially fuck that orange, demented, withered, old man. I hope he dies in the most horrific way possible (orange shit stain, not OP).

Left and blocked.

Democracy is when checks notes your life is funded by imperialism and genocide! 🤡

(good riddance btw. .world is srly turning into a new Reddit)

Can't wait for you people to head back to reddit, where your kind belong.

At least the Republican backed genocide will also be making life living hell for LGBTQI people, women, and migrants in the US as well.

Even if the choices were a kick in the groin and five dollars versus a kick in the groin and getting stabbed, some of y'all would insist 'only a fool would consent to a kick in the groin!' as you're getting stabbed. Doubled over, on the floor, having been kicked in the groin.

Lesser evils are less evil. It's not fucking complicated. What asshole doesn't want less evil?

There is no greater evil than someone that supports and actively does a genocide. Hitler didn't start out killing Jews.

- And president Harris is killing who, exactly?
  
  Would The Idiot fix the situation you're obliquely referencing?

People come to a meme community and expect a deep, well-reasoned essay on the state of things and the best ways forward from one captioned image :-\ Is there not a dichotomy between nuance and memes?

The comments around here are just wild flailings based mostly on assumptions. There's nothing to argue with. It's a picture with some text on it, popularized as the simplest form of humour. Looking at the comments around here now feels like watching a bunch of people arguing with a dog. There's really not so much being said.

This is kinda baffling, is what I'm getting at. It looks like almost nothing's been said so people are furiously attacking things that haven't. 🤷

For real. It happens constantly. There's a lot of sealions out there who take the existence of a meme as an invite to a debate.

- It's a political community mate. We take it in the worst context.
  
  This is Lord of the Flies. I know it, you know it, we expect to be hung here.

So powerful. Can you imagine how many lives this representation will save?

I confidently predict that this meme will kill fewer people than bombs do.

Surely, the only way to stop this genocide is to blame women, BLM and LGBTQ. \s

Gross.
