How many dead Palestinian kids will it take for you to change your vote?
They’ve explicitly told us it’s perfectly fine to sacrifice entire demographic groups for the sake of poltical expediency
What the libs have done is create an avenue of least resistance, where the party elites correctly understand they’re free to condemn whole demographics to death to purchase the poltical loyalty of others
This is quite literally the death of solidarity and labor organizing in the United States and there’s no coming back from that
Today it’s Palestinians and immigrants, tomorrow it’s native americans and trans people and on and on until they reach the one demographic they’ve always wanted to dump and destroy; the black working class
This is how fascism in America truly comes about, and so many have already failed what even five years ago would’ve been called the easiest test imaginable
The dems normalized genocide, it’s Joever folks, this is what unplugging the life support of a left tradition looks like
If you tolerate this your children will be next by the manic street preachers.
If they’ll do it to Palestinians they’ll do it to anyone who gets in the way. And it’s blood in blood out. The Libs have given their consent to any act of savagery, any crimen any abomination. They can’t retract that now. They can’t say “this is too far, this is too much.” They signed on the line in blood. They gave their entire soul over to evil.
It’s also truly incredible how no one can also see the mass extinguishing of the proletariat happening as more and more wealth is stolen by the bourgeois as they go all in on AI in hopes that enough people will be numbed by the unregulated spread of information and be kept in their digital bubble while the world burns, people die, and more people end up without a job.
But 2029 is the most important election of our lives!
At least AI is a nonstarter and we’ve reached the part of the bubble where they’re trying to cram it in everywhere possible to try and figure out a way to break even on the cost. AI is $600 billion in the hole
I hope so, but it only seems to be picking up at work because it makes tremendous gains in P R O D U C T I V I T Y
But 2029 is the most important election of our lives!
Do you really want
to win then just because 
isn’t perfect?The funny thing is they could both represent either party
Yeah our whole political system is just the spiderman pointing at spiderman meme except they’re both hitler instead of spiderman
Not voting for Trump is actually a vote for Kamala
Congratulations on succesfully creating a lemmitor honeypot, Mr. Mayor
This feat has become increasingly difficult as the libs have sealed themselves off in their echo-chambers.
Good heavens, would you look at the time?
B-b-banger thread
It’s lib scratching time
My sister who’s literal job is human rights law just told me I am selfish because as a dude my rights are not harmed in the US by Trump so I am “allowed” to favor the rights of Palestinians. Absolute ghoul. I think it really bothers her that we tacitly agree on most everything, but I am willing to stand by my values.
It’s frightening how immediately hostile people become when they encounter someone who actually has principles and beliefs. The sudden aggression and attempts at coercion are always shocking.
I believe
calls it “moral envy”Oh what a good term
Yeah apparently he talks about it in Bullshit Jobs. Incidentally, I’m reading it rn and it’s much better than I expected but I haven’t got to that part yet.
They tell themselves that whatever they do is correct, it is the most anyone could be asked to do. And so those of us who challenge that make them confront the fact that they are cowards, that they are complicit
Ask her why
, in power right now, with expanded executive powers thanks to the Supreme Court, hasn’t done a damn thing to help on this issue? It’s so fucking dumb these people pretend they are powerless when they get elected. And so many people keep falling for it 
So did she support Tara Reade or is she only pretending to care about women?
unless she’s incompetent at her job she knows the US is blatantly breaking its own laws to arm Israel
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
First time a tragedy, second time a farce. My mom has been sending me these pre-written harangues to vote for Bomb-ala and this is all I can think of. The Democrats have already thrown Palestine under the bus. They have already thrown the people, families, and children at the southern border under the bus. Do you honestly think they are going to care about queers when it’s no longer expedient? Seriously?
Comrade, if you’re going to use this poem, please do not omit the original first line.
“First they came for the Communists, And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist.”
Thank you, edited. I could not remember the exact wording and the first verbatim quote of it I could find was this one and did not contain the line. On retrospect I see it was from the US Holocaust Museum so of course.
The right wing reactionaries are always looking for minority to blame and attack…
The left wing reactionaries are always looking for some minority to feed to the right wing reactionaries to keep from being attacked by them.
Simple as.
Look kiddo, I would literally vote for a [genocidal] ham sandwich over Trump!
They don’t care because ‘trump will kill more’ is the logic. They have done a mental trick where they convince themselves they aren’t voting ‘for genocide’, they’re voting ‘against Tcump’. They refuse to accept that they are just doing the good old ‘ends justify the means’ calculus, and instead claim ‘harm reduction’
As Malcom X said: ‘The White liberal is the worst enemy to America’
‘trump will kill more’
It hurts when people who should be smart use this line.
It won’t matter because nobody will know. Trump and Kamala aren’t going to be President at the same time.
If Trump wins, any deaths will be said to be his fault and an imagined Kamala presidency wouldn’t have let THAT many die. If Kamala wins any number of dead Palestinians will be less than the amount that an imagined Trump presidency would have been responsible for.
Also it’s a genocide. The end point is extermination. It’s the same number.
‘trump will kill more’ is the logic
We don’t actually know what will happen with Trump. He is a petty, dumb, narcissist who acts like a weather vane for his advisors. He could decide to drop a nuke on the region, or he could get triggered by something on Twitter and decide to stop all arms to get back at Netanyahu.
We know what the Democrats will do. They’re doing it now. Acting so sad while pouring truckloads of money into the kid crushing machine.
This isn’t an endorsement of Trump, lurkers. Vote 3rd party or leave President blank. Neither major candidate earned your vote.
100% agree with this. Vote 3rd party Claudia or Stein and organize your community. We need more unions and we all need to strike. The only thing that can stop the machine is if we withhold labour
Like how is Trump going to genocide worse? They acknowledge Harris is doing genocide, and then say Trump will be worse, and it’s like… EVERYONE IS GONNA BE FUCKING DEAD YOU CAN’T DO WORSE THAN EVERYONE IS DEAD.
I probably need to log off I’m going to need to log off for the night.
Literally heard them say “Trump will let them use nukes”
And it’s like
You know why they usually genocide people?
To take their stuff!
They’re not going to nuke them, they want the land!
Also, the wind from the Mediterranean would blow the fallout from a Gaza nuke directly to the east. The reason people have nukes is to attack countries on the other side of the world, not their neighbors. Multiple Hiroshima’s worth of conventional bombs have already been dropped since 10/7…
This is one of the reasons I’m a little worried for Yemen. They’re exactly the sort of target the Israeli government might consider dropping nukes on. A relatively distant country that’s been a major pain in their ass, which they have no intention of invading, and which wouldn’t be a fallout issue for them.
Fortunately, they can’t hit Yemen without radiation hitting KSA or Djibouti, their collaborators.
I highly doubt that the Israeli government thinks of either the citizenry or the ruling class of either of those countries as equals worthy of protection from harm.
No but nuking them would make enemies out of them, cut off their Red Sea access permanently, and likely align the whole Muslim world firmly against them.
Ah yes a nuke would be so much worse than the… thousands of bombs currently being thrown at refugee camps
I do believe Israel would do it though. Yes it is incredibly stupid, only something someone with a babys understanding of the world would even consider, but then again… It’s Israel.
The question I always wonder is, even if Trump’s genocide would be worse, do you think the Palestinian people care about the degree to which they’re being genocided?
Right? Genocide has one conclusion: extermination. What is greater or lesser in extermination?
Trump will conclude it five minutes sooner.
Trump will use Juche necromancy taught to him by
to revive and re-kill a couple children. 
Trump loves money. One of the best ways best way for him to get more money once in power is increasing our military spending on Israel aid, that’s the “but worse” part. In what world do you think he’d do the inverse of maintaining his power? There’s a reason the military industrial complex wants him in power
From a .world account
They don’t think Democrats have tons of $ invested in military stocks?
Trump’s money, whatever he has, is all in real estate, isn’t it? Like this is silly libshit but it’s not even vaguely true afaik. Trump doesn’t know shit about the MIC and afaik the military brass, DoD, and MIC execs don’t like him.
I’d say they aren’t sending their best, but the sad thing is that they are.
Wasn’t Trump the guy who fired Bolton? Didn’t he fire Bolton for being a warhawk?
Isn’t Cheney endorsing Kamala?
The war criminal Richard Cheney
who had nothing to do with 9/11? That can’t be right, who would think his endorsement would be a good thing?
…
Yeah and she’s campaigning with his daughter for some reason
Wasn’t Trump the guy who fired Bolton? Didn’t he fire Bolton for being a warhawk?
Literally yes, in 2019 i think when entire USA pushed for the war with Iran, then they backed off in last moment, but Bolton didn’t get the memo and was sacked for poor reflex in being a warhawk. Funniest thing came later when he wrote a very salty book in which he accused Trump of multiple instances of being unamerican like stopping from attacking Iran, knowing on map where China is, having a common sense to not blindly attack it though entire Pacific, cooling out some Holdens rep senators and such

The republicans are the party of the petite bourgeois who are generally more isolationist than neolibs. They support Israel for culture war reasons but if supporting actually started hurting their boat dealerships they’d start calling Trump to redirect aid to building more border walls.
I know several magats who somewhat oppose Israel and Ukraine through the lens of wasting taxpayer money. They still see Palestinians as subhumans though.
Voting for Adolf Hitler to keep out Joseph Goebbels
We can’t even really use the Nazis as an example anymore. The Germans had multiple parties with some daylight between them. We’ve got two flavors of Nazis.
“So what you’re saying is, the ends justify the means? No no, i get it, it just…that sounds pretty Stalinist, you know?”
I can at least have fun with these assholes
There’s a scene in the tv show The Shield where its explained that a method of tricking a polygraph is to simply envision another question in your mind and answer that instead of the one presented.
That’s what this feels like from liberals. They’ve erased the thing out loud (they are currently supporting a genocide) and replaced it with something in their head (they are opposing Trump). Except they keep saying the Trump part out loud as a counter to the genocide part.

Maybe Harris should, IDK, stop sending Israel weapons then? She’s only the Vice President right now…
I’m sure when she loses to Trump it won’t be for lack of trying. She had some very stern words about wanting to stop the violence against both Israeli and Palestinian civilians
who do you think is sending the weapons to
? there is very little difference between trump and harrisThis is a galaxy brain take. Beyond galaxy actually. A take that truly shows a deep understanding of geopolitics and strategy. Vote for genocide, to prevent genocide. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that
“You still don’t get it! I’m using war as a business to get elected! So I can end war as a business…”
Literal Armstrong-tier analysis
They are putting palestinians in concentration camps right now and burying them in mass graves. Somehow the extermination of the palestinian people will be more exterminationy under Trump. Do you not understand what is going on or do you not understand what a genocide is? The answer is of course neither: You do know what is going on and you either support it or just do not give a shit about brown people. But at least say that, instead of having us pretend like it’s anything else.
At least republicans have the decency not to pretend to be human.wow i wonder if the current democratic administration is going to do anything to stop israel from continuing the bombings if it’s hurting harris so badly
reads modlog
Wow… its like… yesterday’s don’t exist.
Dems could have spent the last 50 years or so trying to codify Roe as a fucking law but were too cowardly to do any more than hide behind a Supreme Court decision formulated on “privacy” instead of “medical care” all the while fundraising off of the threat that the forced birth crowd and Republicans are gonna take away abortion services every few years there is an election cycle.
And guess what happened?
Roe was overturned by the Supreme Court packed by right wingers who spent the last 50 years working towards this goal.
o7 Mayo.
I got here just in time.
We both know the answer in most cases is “None, they can all die”
They’ll deflect, or pull whataboutism, or say trump will be worse.
Thank you Whatavboutism bot. You are a pillar of the Hexbear community.
I’m not going to pick arguments over votes in the presidential election, I’d be better off trying to bail out the high tide.
If voting isn’t worth a whole lot, it’s not worth arguing with a liberal and making them double down, because that’s all that’s going to come of it.
actually there is a lot of utility in finding out who are the genocidal racists in your life
You have an opportunity to turn this moment into an organizing conversation with the libs in your life. I had one in this very thread.
Also I don’t agree that votes are useless. If you’re outside a swing state every lib in your life should vote Green or PSL to show they don’t support genocide. If you’re in MI, NV, PA, or other swing states those libs should vote Green or PSL to punish Democrats for literally arming a genocide. It’s a good outcome for us if Trump wins one of these states by less votes than Stein + PSL combined get. Force the Dems to have to move left for once!

I disagree. You should vote PSL ESPECIALLY if you are in a swing state.

That’s not really going to happen, or else it would have after 2000 or 2016. Instead there was a pivot to an even more conservative Dem candidate.
They will not take us seriously for anything short of a mobilized mass movement, at least 100k people in the streets of major cities.
That happened in 2020 and all they did was crush the movement violently and then declare covid to be over
I would call that a periodic paroxysm of rage more than a coordinated mass movement.
I wouldn’t, in part because I didn’t know those words
If they lose, and keep losing, because of 3rd party votes preventing them from winning close races, then they will either shift or die out as a party.
Having a chance to push the Dems left is worth a 15 minute drive to a polling site
I’m not going to pick arguments over votes in the presidential election
I am. I want to know exactly who decided that in their personal calculus, that they could accept the genocide of another sovereign group of people if it meant the security of their own rights-- because when it’s my turn on the sacrificial altar, it’ll be those same coons, crackers, and assorted miscellaneous misleaders holding the knives.
I want to know who I can’t trust turning my back to.
if dick fucking cheney and enthusiastic support for genocide won’t break you from blue no matter who, what could?
Vote Blue No Matter What They Do
I would love to be able to send out a Kamala jab to people in my life and have them laugh along instead of distancing themselves from me lololol
Why do people take this shit so seriously
Leftists have as much credibility where if you don’t like Kamala where I live, you’re basically certified MAGA
leftist erasure is real
Exceptional struggle session, comrade
