What a shock that liberals care more about what Trump says than what Biden did. The Democrats fully supported Isreal "finishing the job," but you only care about it when Trump says it.
A lot of good your moral superiority is doing for the Palestinians now, huh? Upgrading the 5-ton bombs to 10-tonners, with plans to pave over the West Bank for a billionaire resort.
You really think that would’ve happened under Harris? Get real.
Also, I don’t know what liberals you’re referring to. I’m a progressive.
The same thing democrats' moral cowardice did for them.
As I’ve explained elsewhere in this post, unless you want to abolish private ownership of the means of production, you’re probably a liberal. The vast majority of both Democrats and Republicans are liberals. Progressive liberals like Bernie Sanders are still liberals. Sanders will say that It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism, and he’ll complain about crony capitalism and über capitalism, but he’ll never question capitalism as such. He’ll never question private ownership of the means of production, in the sanctity of private property.
Almost the only people who aren’t liberals are either socialists or fascists, and even fascists believe in capitalism just as liberals do.
If we’re speaking ideally, absolutely. All non-capitalists are forced to make concessions living in a capitalist nation. I’ve been left of the democrats since the 90s. I vote for the leftmost candidate that has a chance of winning the election. Unfortunately, that’s usually the Working Families Democrat.
It's telling that you only care about symbolic bullshit like this, almost like you only care about finding moral liscense to support genocide. Isreal had all the bomb it needed under Biden; his symbolic restrictions saved exactly ZERO Palestinian lives. But you don't care about Palestinian lives, you care about symbolic acts.
Those plans were there under Biden too, you just are only willing to admit it when it's Trump doing that. In that sense, Biden was even worse; because liberals like you are genocide deniers when it's your team doing it.
Yes, 100% it would, genocide denier. The only thing that would have been different under Harris is that you would have pretended it wasn't happening, and the US would still be massacring Yemeni on behalf of Isreal.
Progressives don't support genocidal fascists.
Who said I support genocidal fascists? You’re the one who threw their vote out instead of stopping the election of the genocidal fascist. I voted for the genocidal liberal, because I understand the concept of the lesser of two evils, and know how to leverage what little say I have in this horribly corrupt and broken system.
You did.
And you actively voted for the election of genocidal fascists. And you have no idea where I live or who I voted for, so shut your lying mouth.
Centrism is when your number one policy goal is the wholesale extermination of an entire population to expand a genocidal, fascist, ethnostate.
You clearly don't, given that you only care about symbolic gestures that make you feel good, and your willing to delude yourself that the Democrats are better on Israel. You're having to actively rewrite history to make reality bend ot what you want the lesser evil to be.
Oh? And what has that accomplished? Oh, absolutely nothing? I guess you don't know how to leverage it.
You know, a serious person who claims to believe that a country is irredeemably genocidal, horribly corrupt, and broken, would conclude that the lesser evil is whatever will cause the collapse of that country the fastest. Yet you've decided that the highest priority is maintaining the US's ability to terrorize and murder the globe.
Hey, it's the self admitted troll who has dedicated themself to stalking every single comment I make because they got big mad I said genocide denial is bad.
