    Love shit like this because Trump would without a doubt continue supporting Israel. The only thing that would change is the US would stop pushing for a ceasefire

      The US isn’t materially pushing for a ceasefire anyways, they are continuing to supply the genocide. The genocide isn’t because of morals, as though pointing it out to the ruling class will make them swap. The genocide is because of economic reasons.

      The US supports Israel unconditionally because it serves as the equivalent of an aircraft carrier in the Middle East. It solidifies the Petro-Dollar as the World Currency, which is a huge source of Imperialist profits through finanical dominance and foreign loans.

      Biden’s (and by extension Kamala’s) “ceasefire” is a game of optics, they will do nothing to address the root cause and everything to try to get people to hush up about the genocide because the US needs a dangerous and belligerant Israel to keep other countries at bay.

        This is such a tired old line based on the aircraft carrier rhetoric from the 60s, outdated since the Iraq wars and our own airbases going up all over the region.

        Also the idea that Saudi Arabia trades in dollars because otherwise Israel would attack them fails to take into account that much of the rest of the world uses them too, since people like a stable currency that everyone else already likes.

        You guys really need to update your rhetoric.

      On an entirely different instance. Since so many people enjoyed it I felt compelled to share it here as well.

      You sure know a lot about my posts for an account that posts so little.

        Barely a day passes without you sharing some, for good reasons, heavily disliked stuff about “bOtH sIdEs” being bad.

        I know a lot because you are clogging the feed…

          People dislike it when someone says Genocide is bad? Sounds like those people have issues.

    This is the #1 reason I have a hard time considering voting for Kamala in a non-swing state. We’ve got ranked choice voting in the ballot, so I’ll definitely be voting, but idk if I’ll cast a presidential vote or not.

    I don’t endorse her, so why should I vote like it?

      If you’re at the ballot, might as well toss the vote in the direction of Claudia De La Crúz, assuming you’re a Leftist and she’s on your ballot. Third party votes do force the larger parties to make concessions in the next elections, generally.

        Yeah, she’s been on my radar and I’ve heard some pretty good ideas and beliefs espoused by her and her running mate. Building leftist movements in a deep-red state is very much a “step lightly” action though, so I have worries that any overt socialist growth here will mean more attempted attacks on pride festivals by neo-nazis, and such. Hell, even mention of “antifa” brings out the crazies to roam the streets with rifles.

          The fact of the matter is that not organizing on the Left just allows the Neo-Nazis to feel emboldened. Even in a deep red state, there are many Leftists, and rather than just remaining silent it’s better to organize for your own protection.

            Exactly what I mean. There is zero organizing going on for PSL in this area, so it doesn’t feel nearly as important to push for a socialist vote compared to other issues, like ranked choice voting and cannabis legalization.
