    I don’t like politicians that support billionaires or holy wars either, but isn’t this ideology partially responsible for the situation we’re in now?

    I understand that voting for someone who is not just the lesser of two evils but also directly opposed to our fundamental values might perpetuate a broken system… but couldn’t there be a way to change the political zeitgeist without killing our own citizens in the streets and threatening to glass a country of millions?

    I want the systems of oppression to fall as much as the next guy, but allowing the Trump administration to concentrate power as fast as possible doesn’t seem like a fair trade to get there.

      Welcome to the intent of the propaganda mills creating the easily digested, easily disseminated slop that gets spammed to this community repeatedly and uncritically.

        The only propaganda is your fuck-nugget safe spaces constantly repeating “kamala wouldn’t this, kamala wouldn’t that” which is a constantly moving goal post.

        Both sides are still working along the same line to bring us to where we are today while pretending to be an “opposition”, which is exactly where Israel wants.

        If you think this wasn’t the plan all along, with how conveniently things are falling into place for Israel with no roadblocks whatsoever, you’re as good as chickens being guided to slaughter.

        Get fucked hasbara bots. This isn’t reddit anymore.

      Israel started this war, both sides would follow Israel’s lead.

      To pretend Kamala was different is how you get into this situation.

        Had an argument with someone on here that regardless of who won, Gaza was fucked. They brought out the same tired Democrat line “So you wanted Trump for president!” No, fuck nugget, I didn’t, but I didn’t want Kamala either because I don’t see much difference between the parties anymore.

      The lesser evil keeps leading to the greater evil. It’s no more delusional to demand better, than it is to think that reaffirming the status quo will lead you anywhere but evil.
