Its going to plan, yes. If we cant champion the most basic human rights globally and only our own wealthy or Israeli interests, then let it all burn. None of it works for you anyway. Theres no other avenues open to us.
The centrists will just string it along and it'll end up in the same place, just after way more murder and war crimes. Lets just rip the bandaid off quickly.
So we're ending genocide by letting turbo genocide happen? By letting Israel kill even more people even faster? By enacting our own genocide in Iran? I guess there can't be a genocide if they're all gone then.
If you pretend the centrist way leads to less genocide then you're not being honest about the history of what was done under Biden, and I get that. You have to get through a massive level of cognitive dissonance to acknowledge that Biden was a genocider and Harris was about to be one. I dont like it either. But neither repubs or centrist dems will refuse an AIPAC paycheck will they. The apr 9 DNC vote proved that conclusively.
So both parties have to change or fail-- neither can be supported. THAT is the way to end genocide sponsorship in the US --because trump is actively burning the government to the ground and its on borrowed time. The dems are closest to being able to turn around, but the only way they do that is if they face the guaranteed threat of losing the next election. We're not playing chicken here with any intention of flinching at the last minute. They stop their genocidal ways or they dont get support and this place continues being taken apart by the magats. Its the only way forward. We're pretty far past letting this play out over time, dont you think?
If you dont like this, whats your idea to stop the genocide? write letters to dem centrist interns, I bet?
I'm sure the people of Gaza and Iran are appreciative of your efforts to prevent their extermination by ramping up the extermination.
You've really convinced me blackbelt352: to stop genocide, I will get in line behind the DNC's plan to support genocide.
You already made your decision. You got in line behind the RNC's plan to accelerate the genocide.
Your girl Harris supported the genocide.
And your boy trump supported it even harder.
Well look at you, finally admitting Harris is a genocide supporter. We've made progress.
I never denied her involvement. I'm still saying trump is accelerating Israel's genocide of Palestine, and theyre expanding it to Iran, oh and Jordan as well. Now I dont have a degree in mathematics, but last I checked, 3 genocides is more than 1 genocide and 3 genocides is much harder to stop than 1 genocide.
I did however express that her position was not going to worsen what was already happening the way trump clearly has worsened everything for everyone.
Thats a creation of your own bias. Trump is a war criminal for sure, but Biden was as bad or worse. Both presidents let Israel do whatever they wanted with impunity, and time they wanted, to whomever they wanted, all with US bombs. But Biden began it and most of the casualties so far happened on his watch, under a democratic party banner no less.
So I'm supposed to believe that going from supplying Israel for 1 genocide is worse than supplying Israel for 2 genocides and engaging in our own genocide in a third nation?
You can fuck aaaaaalllllll the way off, you're no leftist if you want to let trump do even worse genocide.
