Here is the leading opposition candidate saying, verbatim, during the genocide in Gaza: “as commander in chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest, MOST LETHAL fighting force in the world” To which the crowd responded by chanting “USA USA USA”. The USA is a fascist and genocidal empire, no matter which of the two flavours of imperialism is in the White House.

    When you realize the American people looked her dead in the eye and thought “not evil enough” and voted in Trump because 4chan told them to.

      I honestly think it had more to do with Trump being able to admit things weren’t being handled well. Not that his handling would be better, but he was at least able to say “they’re doing a shit job.”
      It’s one of the reasons the right wing gets more support in times of crisis. Liberals focus on suppressing the left, so they can’t say anything and the only other people out there who are at least willing to point out how shit everything is, are the rabid fascists. They’re wrong about why things are bad, but at least they’re not going not-listening about the world

    I just wish the current regime didn’t want to murder me.

    Oh well. It was only a matter of time regardless. They’re gonna find out the hard way that we weren’t given queer rights: we fucking took them. And we’ll take them back.

    I’ll never forget her being pressed on how her administration would differ from Genocide Joe’s. “I’ll have a republican in my administration.”

    Really wild that that line not only didn’t get any pushback, it was repeated a ton. How is that not just an open admission that we’re a death cult aiming to stack the bodies as high as possible just for the sake of doing it?

    she had a two or three week period of support and then she completely ruined it by promising to capitulate to the right and reaffirmed America’s prepardness for war. i saw leftists of all types say they were willing to vote for her as a means to reject fascism if she listened to their concerns. there were tons of jokes about “letting liberals have this one” and the discomfort of having to align with liberals on something. it wasn’t every leftist, of course, but… i’ll speak as myself i wasn’t expecting Biden to drop out so him actually fucking off gave me the smallest twinkle of hope lol. then it was obliterated. she campaigned with Liz Cheney. Liz. Cheney. great job. very smart of you.

      i was one of the leftists who talked himself into voting for harris up until i saw this exchange; it made me realize that she dgaf about the genocide she was enabling; as did 6 million other democrats that chose not to vote for her for the same reason during the election, as per the yougov poll.

      i sincerely hope that she doesn’t run again since she’s proven herself to be a ghoul of the highest order.

        I tried to vote for her. Looked up my states voting history, filled out the rest of the ballot. Then voted PSL. If FRSO was on the ballot I would have voted for them.

          i proud that i didn;t; i had to write in psl in my state.

          i would be VERY angry w myself if i had voted for harris; not only did she end up bieng the worse option for the genocide; but her administration barely lifted a finger to enact the equal rights amendment to protect us from project 2025.

      The way libs reacted to that was very funny. It was like they had the same libidinal response as a Trumper watching him own the libs but instead it was Kamala scolding the left.

      Two sides, same coin, etc, you know the drill.
