      People just really dislike genocide it seems. It’s almost like they’d rather vote for people who don’t support it. The real question is why you apparently have such a problem with that?

      Harris seems better on this and the party is basically united, so why fuck it up now? The fact that you jump to blame voters is embarrassing

          Genocide is something that should be reductively absolute.

          Why do you think it shouldn’t be?

          If you support genocide, that should be something you are saddled with for the rest of your life.

              I’m 45.

              Supporting genocide is a good reductive test for if someone has any kind of morality. Same as with racism.

              The fact that you don’t recognize that, and think that not recognizing that makes you an adult that is not a cartoon says everything about your morality.

              It says nothing about my age or how many people I interact with.

              EDIT: You also didn’t answer the question on why you think Genocide shouldn’t be a reductive label.

              Do you think that genocide is ever justifiable?

                  I have. And you know what? Genocide isn’t a matter of disagreeing. The fact that you think it is says everything anyone needs to know about you.

                Seems like they’re avoiding answering direct questions about their beliefs or even fully explaining them. Why you might do that is anyone’s guess

    Walz went from around 20% at the start of the day, to over 50% over the course of the day on polymarket.

    Walz makes more sense than Shapiro does for winning the election.

      Harris is a Democrat, and Shapiro is a very tempting unforced error. Defeat is right there in the very jaws of victory, and all Harris has to do is reach down and seize it.

        Look, I’ve trained myself to not do what I’m about to do. I’ve sought professional help to stop me from typing exactly what I’m about to type. I’ve lost fingers to this mousetrap.

        I really think Harris might be different.

        She’s shown better political instinct than I could ever have hoped. She is like, actually working the opportunity, and frankly, seems to be good at it. Overcooked pasta was going to poll better than Biden. But it really seems like Harris understands that she needs to do better with specific groups, and progressives and Muslims, the undecided vote, is that group. PA and “never Trump” Republicans might just have to come along on this ride. Democratic politicians and party managers have spent their entire modern political history wishing they had Republicans for voters. It might be she recognizes what she needs to do to win.

        She might be able to win with Shapiro, but it comes real fucking close and its a big fuck you to a lot of people, who specifically withheld their votes because of the US policy on Israel Gaza.

        If she goes Walz, all the fucking blue-maga/ Biden bullshit artists here who sandbagged, like they know shit and were giving us, and people like @return2ozma@lemmy.world grief can suck our collective dicks. If it wasn’t for a very small, but very vocal cohort of people CONTINUOUSLY ringing the alarm bell, we would be facing an absolute fucking blow-out in November. The Democrats deserve all the fucking criticism they earn, and if you have a problem with that, fuck off and go be a republican.

        But maybe, just fucking maybe, Harris is different.

    Yeah, lefties just hate how Shapiro called Netanyahu “a dangerous and destructive force” and “one of the worst leaders of all time.”

    This is all just attacks from the people who can’t attack Biden anymore but know they’d look bad saying Kamala isn’t left enough. They prop us Walz because they know he won’t get picked, even though he’s been just as bad as Shapiro on Gaza. Shapiro has been explicit when he’s said Netanyahu is an obstacle to peace, something Walz has not said afaik.

    Make no mistake: there’s a reason the person who posted this is known for spamming anti-Biden content.
