    Are you talking about Harris giving political non-answers about the genocide to secure the necessary funding to fight against a campaign backed by billionaires and foreign governments?

    The same person who, as VP, tried to launch the investigation required to bypass the law saying we have to arm Israel? And the one who’s Senate voting history more closely matches Sanders out of the other members of Congress?

    The person who was running against the guy who is dying to nuke Gaza?

    It’s only the lesser of two evils if you only look at campaign messaging, which is almost always complete bullshit.

      And this is why I don’t trust “lesser evil” voters; they inevitably end up engaging in massive historical revision and genocide denial to justify their decision

      Lol, 100% fanfiction. Meanwhile, her billionaire-backed campaign’s “non-answers”:

      “No but you guys she was really totally trying to initiate the paperwork to launch a committee to investigate the process of filing a motion to maybe one day do something about the crimes of the administration she was second in command of.”

      I don’t understand how human beings can be so gullible for so long. Even a dog will eventually realize you’re only pretending to throw the ball.

      The person who was running against the guy who is dying to nuke Gaza?

      Nobody is nuking Gaza because Blackrock wants to invest in seaside resorts there, be real. Is that the only way you can justify to yourself the horror you signed your name to, is to say “sure, the specific coterie of rich pedophiles I personally endorsed are guilty of genocide according to all international legal bodies, but at least they didn’t use nukes! That would have simply been excessive and tasteless, and I would hate to be associated with something like that.”

      It’s too late dude. You pulled the lever for this, not in some bullshit abstract “well by not voting for x you voted for y” way but in an actual, tangible, got your ballot and filled in the bubble for Mass Rape and Slaughter (D) way.

      And the revealing thing is that you “pragmatists” can never just sit with that. You can never say out loud what you supported, because it’s too monstrous. It’s always couched in aome pre-emptive justification, some haughty pretense of being the adult in the room and making the tough decisions, but for all that you guys can never just own what that decision was. You can never look at yourself in the mirror and say “Whatever my reasons, it is simply factually true that I pulled the lever for mass rape and slaughter. I voted to plunge this open air concentration camp into a sea of viscera, and I am prepared to face the rest of my life as the person who did that, because i firmly believe it was the best thing to do in that situation.”

      But you never do, only double and triple down on the septic worldview that brought you here, tearing up every carpet in a search for hidden foreign saboteurs while loudly insisting with gun in hand that this isn’t actually who you are. I would have more respect for blue fascists if you didn’t insist on trying to deceive yourselves in addition to everybody else.

      im not a native burgereicher so all of this shit you say is completely irrelevant to me. but let me tell you something you gringos might not even be able to understand. to the majority of the world there is not difference between who the fuck governs your bloodthirsty, barbarian, pedophile regime. to the outside, to the rest of the globe, all of these latinos, browns, blacks, yellows, and even white (although you might not be able to consider poor people white within your ideology) people are killed, raped, robbed and tortured anyway. i dont give a fuck if you get 2 cents more or less out of medicare, or some shit fuel price, i dont give a fucking fuck. you’re getting all of this shit because of the labour you extract from us you fucking imperialist dog. or if trans people are killed more or less because of who’s in office is not my fucking fault, and they shouldn’t be asking to trade the suffering of the exploited masses for the comfort of the labour aristocracy, even if they’re a minority amongst the privileged. you cant do any ethical mental gymnastics to brainwash anyone gringuito, the robes have fallen and the world has seen you naked, what’s behind the fabric is the putrid corpse of fascism trying to spread its pestilence around.

      foreign governments?

      stop trying to externalize the blame of your racism and fascism to some fantasy nefarious country. Trump is the perfect embodiment of that fucked up country. A selfish, racist and bloodthirsty fascist who does not care about anyone outside their borders.
