Genocide doesn’t matter because Trump bad? Pro-Palestine protesters disrupted a campaign rally by US Vice President Kamala Harris with chants like “We won’t vote for genocide.” The seemingly pressed Kamala found few sympathetic words for Gaza in response, answering, “If you want Donald Trump to win, just say that.” Her apparently equally ignorant voter base cheered her genocide-pleasing “clapback.”

    yeah Canadian here too. Canadians largely suck ass as well but it’s become impossible for me to not resent USAmericans for how they expect the rest of the world to revolve around their stupid fucking elections, how even the ones who flatter themselves as leftists eagerly lap up every little morsel of court intrigue set before them but are radio silent on all the horrendous shit they inflict on the rest of the world. They think they can either beat fascism or run away from it to Canada or Europe (LMAO good luck with that, it’s cute/pathetic how they think those places are lefty havens) but the truth is they don’t even understand what fascism is other than vaguely hating minorities. I think the honest truth is this: Trump trolls them and they fall for it. He’s honest about how America is a place built FOR people like him. And they rise to the bait every time. They get butthurt and will do ANYTHING to make that feeling go away, including supporting austerity, genocide, whatever, so long as they get a share of the imperial plunder and can go on twitter every day without seeing him or his fans. The Lesser Evil crap is just a license they apply retroactively. I can’t say I feel bad for them or even want to co-operate with them anymore.
