        I reacted to this weird fantasy post where the poster acts as if Kamala Harris has any control over what the US is doing in other countries as the VP, which paints her in a light of murdering homeless people. When the alternative is literally a deranged poopypants who could literally not give less of a fuck about the middle east or brown people if you showed him each and every atrocity.

        They don't send out a weekly e-mail blast to every voter in the country asking "Should we send another package of arms to Israel this week?". That decision is made by a small group of traitorous removed who are obviously taking giant kickbacks from the military industrial complex, superpacs, and foreign countries.

        Saying the "dEmOcRaTs" are the problem is wildly inaccurate and embarrassingly uninformed. The removed are on both sides. It's rich vs poor. I would have thought that a sub supposedly about communism would already be on that take.

          Mate, of her own volition she says she supports Israel; she's saying this while she's completely safe and in full public view; she won't even condemn Israel. If the democrats aren't running the country, then who is?

          It's amazing how you want to pretend as if the second most powerful executive in the US government has no power over what the US does.
          It's also amazing how you are literally not aware of Harris' actions prior to becoming a VP, when she did stuff like prevent freeing enslaved prisoners, prevent freeing wrongly-imprisoned people, hunting people for ICE, used her position to support aggression against other countries, etc., and yet, you feel like you are qualified to confidently speak on the matter.

          When the alternative is literally a deranged poopypants who could literally not give less of a fuck about the middle east or brown people if you showed him each and every atrocity

          Harris has literally supported, in an official capacity, Trump's actions against the Middle East. Like in this case, for example:
          https://thegrayzone.com/2019/05/24/bipartisan-war-congress-trump-syria-iran-russia-hezbollah/

          Between an utterly incompetent genocide enactor and one who is at least a little bit more competent, if you were to prefer either, you should go with the former. You keep advocating for the latter.

          They don't send out a weekly e-mail blast to every voter in the country asking "Should we send another package of arms to Israel this week?". That decision is made by a small group of traitorous removed who are obviously taking giant kickbacks from the military industrial complex, superpacs, and foreign countries

          It's amazing how much you want to imagine just to avoid admitting that the monster that you support is, indeed, a monster.
          No, those people are not a small group of 'traitors' to the USian government. They are the USian government. And Harris is explicitly among them, as she has both vowed to help Pissrael keep carrying out the genocide, and she has been publicly working with AIPAC since before the 2020 USian executive elections. She has literally spoken at a policy conference of AIPAC.

          Saying the "dEmOcRaTs" are the problem is wildly inaccurate and embarrassingly uninformed

          They aren't 'the' problem. They are a part of the problem. And it's pretty hilarious how you try to insist otherwise, given that they have almost exactly the same policies, and have a history of engaging in genocides and other atrocities.
          I wonder if you would also like to pretend, for example, that Trump is worse than Obama.

          The removed are on both sides

          If you think that we like either of the USian uniparty twins, you are incorrect. You are just having a petulant reactions to having your favourite monsters criticised.

          I know you're getting the bear hug so I doubt you'll respond to me, but I think it's worth examining your assumptions if you have somehow reached a point where Harris cannot be held accountable for the actions of the administration she serves in, cannot be held responsible for her own rhetoric at the convention (in which she promised we would have the most lethal military in the world, with which she would "always" defend the apartheid entity), and cannot be faulted for not being more specific about what her policy on Gaza would be. You seem to have reached a position where voting for Harris is a moral obligation that has no attachment to anything she does, says she will do, or could theoretically do in the future.

          Or at least I assume it's about voting, otherwise I don't know what you're doing here. You acknowledge that America's ruling class are traitors to the interests of humanity; Harris is part of our ruling class, she's undeniably part of the 'rich' you're talking about. While we here at hexbear don't call people slurs, you seem fine directing your anger at these nameless traitors but not at Harris for some reason. All we're doing is criticizing the class you are saying is bad, and the people who instinctively defend them.

          It's literally the message of the tweet: Nobody is telling anyone not to vote, but liberals reflexively assume criticism of the ruling class is an argument for Trump.

      Your deranged and angry rant tells me we struck a nerve with you. And that you're likely, and charitably, a college freshman.

      You can not vote for Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Hilary Clinton, Gavin Newsom, or the next figurehead and call it a day. Voting is not a civic duty or fulfilling civic action in a state where your vote is a mere permission slip of state legitimacy than an envoy of political agenda. The state will do what it must to maintain its hegemony but thank you for paying your taxes and giving the state the "right" to exist. Through your vote. Through your petty ritual.

      We can't just leave our homes, lives, and jobs; indeed millions across the world can't just crusade into Israel just to stop this. But millions are marching, protesting, resisting, and urging their governments to place pressure on Israel and the United States to stop the genocide. It just so happens that there is no Spirit Bomb mechanism to stop the IDF and the US from doing so but through collective civil action, disobedience, protest, and resistance.

      These discussions, real and digital, about Palestine and Israel's genocidal terror is not a game of moral exchange where we use the dead as trophies to sanitize our complicity or seek absolution for our guilt. They are public and private declarations and exasperations of our political impotence and frustration with a political machine and configuration that has normalized, sanitized, and bargained away genocidal fervor and action. They are declarations, in the power of posting, that life has meaning and what we are all witnessing is the annihilation of the intrinsic value of human justice, of human existence and meaning within our world.

      In this particular moment, in the midst of active genocide, being a canvasser, poll worker, and campaign staffer for the Democrats (and Republicans) and believing that a fulfillment of civic and patriotic duty, progressing towards a more just and equitable society, is a farce. It is meaningless. Genocide is a crime among crimes and evil among evils. It is the negation of life in the most very literal and direct way; the ultimate desecration of humanity.

      Your conclusion, the embodiment of the emote: wojak-nooo , is one that tries to serve as a way for you to banish your conscience and guilt because the actual act of engaging in politics as an activist instead of passive consumer that validates the "I'm a good person" box is just as empty and hollow as your idolatrous faith in the Democratic party.

      I do in fact expect you, us, and everyone else to do something else than just wait in line for a few hours (if you aren't just a mail-in voter!) to vote for the Democrat who winces and sheds crocodile tears for the crimes they are compelled to do on behalf of political and economic hegemony.

      Don't be lazy.

      if Biden has blood on his hands

      The only reason a non ideologically brainwashed person would say he DOESN'T have blood on his hands is because he's probably been too fucking senile to actually sanction what's been going on. But if that isn't the case, then the blood of every single Palestinian dead over the last year is on his hands, you dumb motherfucker

      You comment using Palestine as an argument because you get off on the concept of being morally superior to other people and so you take a stance that allows you to paint anybody who doesn't align with this chosen worldview as being 100% in the wrong and worthy of death because it allows you to sleep better at night

      Ah yes, 'you are just purity-testing on being against a genocide for fun' sure is a good defence of a high-profile genocide. /s
      Honestly, it amazes me a bit how brainwashed genocide supporters like you are.

      The average American voter has no desire to fund the military industrial complex and frankly you all fucking know that

      You definitely aren't an 'average USian' (it's silly how USians love to pretend that the entirety of the Americas are just the US), then.

      Why don't you fly to fucking israel or palestine or wherever and do something about it if you care so much?

      I do not have money. I do not have a weapon, nor am I able to procure one. I do not know of a way to get there. I do not know of a way to contact the Palestinian resistance or another such group.

      Notably, you weren't asked to go and volunteer to fight for Palestine (although, if you think that it's so much easier than, for example, withholding your vote in a USian election, why haven't you volunteered to fight for Palestine yet?). You have been asked to stop actively supporting your monsters at home. Like a good little 1930-1940s German, you are completely fine with them, however.

      That's the equivalent level of work you're expecting from the people you're demonizing

      HAHAHAHA.
      'It's an equivalent level of work to [go to a war zone, find and contact the local resistance (without unwittingly informing enactors of a genocide that you intend to fight), and becoming a part of a decades-long resistance to a genocide], to [withhold a vote in an inconsequential USian election where both candidates are almost exactly the same, except one of them is senile and is less capable of managing the genocide machine (instead of voting for the more competent genocide enactors)], and to [cease participating in a genocide by funding and otherwise supplying the military forces that are directly carrying out said genocide]'.
      You live in a fantasy world.

      that they throw away their lives, families and futures to throw themselves onto the cogs of a machine that was created before they were born and is protected by hundreds of layers of social, political and financial obscurity

      Hahaha.
      Withholding a vote in an election where there are no different consequences for you, and ceasing to do free PR for your monsters in charge is not 'throwing away [your] lives, families, etc.'

      All the while dumbfuck assholes who make bad faith arguments slow the progress of humanity by blaming the every day man for problems caused by the people in charge while stroking their own sad little egos

      'How dare you slow the progress of humanity by telling other people to stop supporting and/or carrying out a genocide'.
      'Progress of humanity', lol.

      Why don't you take all of that pent up rage and direct it at the people who are actually causing the problems

      I.e. at the people supporting and/or carrying out a genocide? You have been raving about how that's bad, actually.

      The rich fucks who own the corporations who are paying all these removed to cause and sustain wars?

      You mean the rich fucks like Harris that you support and are upset over us being against them? Haha.

      if Biden has blood on his hands?

      'If'?

      I'm not some cult of personality cock sucker who takes a side and defends it even if it's bad

      You literally came here to voice your support for a genocide.

      That's the difference between the left and the right. The people on the left want to prosecute anybody who breaks the law, the people on the right only want to prosecute the people who aren't on the right
