This is the real Kamala Harris – a friend to Israel, war mongers and big business, an enemy to working class people. We need a new system! #VoteSocialistArtCall
"Hey you know how there is an unbelievably close race between a centrist who wants to maintain the status quo but may occssionally bend to public pressure and an outright madman who want burn democracy to the ground while lining his own pockets and rolling back social progress to the 1850s? You should totally protest vote for a party that doesn't have its shit together enough to even get on the ballot everywhere and has no chance at all of winning. That will show them how you really feel!"
I cannot imagine why main stream American politics doesn't take leftists seriously.
Grow up.
See, Leftists don't believe Harris is a "centrist" but a genocidal Imperialist, similar to Trump. Harris hasn't yet bent to public pressure either.
Hate to break it to you, but nearly twice as many Americans think we are providing the right amount of assistance, or should be providing more to Israel, than think we should be providing less in regards to their war. That is the direction of public pressure.
You should be against genocide and not vote for any genocide candidate.
We can all see that in your condescending and largely unrealistic boilerplate lesser evil lecture, you conveniently ignored the elephant in the room.
Now, we could talk about how your electoralism logic is flawed, but as you all claim morality, I don't think I should need to. You should be against genocide and act accordingly.
Liberals love Leftists until Leftists extend their criticism to Liberals.
Liberals become reactionary monsters when someone has consistent left politics and doesn't do whatever daddy genocide tells them.
Yep. Liberals use Leftists as a messaging aesthetic to toss aside when it comes time to get their hands dirty.
See, this is the kind of thing you bring up during primaries not when the field has narrowed down such that the only other viable contender is worse.
The dnc made sure there weren't primaries.
This is what the people who forgot about Donald Trump say. Trump's presidency was far more rewarding for Israel than either Russia or North Korea; arguably, even more rewarding than the US. This conflict wouldn't have existed without Trump's aid in the first place. If you think Biden or Harris are friends with Netanyahu, you are sorely mistaken.
I'm voting for the person I trust to make a half a promising decision for calmness in the Middle East rather than the one who's guaranteed to gladly trade the lives of Palestinians and Americans in exchange for authoritarianism. And if the person I choose to vote for (wins and) doesn't live up to my expectations, if this person does not aid in Middle East tensions, I'll still sleep well at night knowing how much more traumatic it would have been with the alternative.
I give a shit about this world. I will not be part of the downfall of democracy and the promise of more lives lost and freedoms around this world revoked for the sake of someone's ego and business dealings. I will not throw out my vote.
I'm voting for Harris because I support a free Palestine. Because under Trump, Palestine is guaranteed to disappear.
You're not going to be able to kick the Leftists off of Lemmy.ml.
It is 16 days until the election.
FOUR candidates are on the ballot in enough states to win:
Harris - Democratic 50 states + D.C. (538 EC)
Trump - Republican 50 states + D.C. (538 EC)
Oliver - Libertarian 47 states (477 EC)
Stein - Green 37 states (420 EC)

Kennedy was on the ballot in enough states, 31 with 283 EC votes, but has since withdrawn.
Everybody else is an also ran.
Only Trump or Harris will win, no 3rd party has captured a single electoral college vote since 1968.
Why does Netanyahu want Trump to be president so badly if Harris has the same position towards Israel as he does?
The arrangement is the exact opposite
Why take your voting advice from rumors of a fascist genocider?
