I didn’t know Kamala Harris believes housing is a human right, is pro-union, anti-war, anti-racist, pro-lgbtq, pro-education, pro-kids (whatever that means) and wants to protect bodily autonomy! Wow, she sounds amazing!

Calling Kamala Harris anti-war is one of the most unhinged shit I’ve ever heard. This whole post is just so condescending, my god.

    Westerners are so entitled. “Sure, my candidate will continue the genocidal policy and continue to destroy countless lives all around the globe, but have you thought about me and my comfort for a second?”

      Yep, and all the things they named won’t even go away regardless of the candidate. There is a responsibility to fight those things more than allegedly stuffing a meaningless ballot.

        A weird argument I see from people voting for Kamala is that it will be easier to organize under a Kamala presidency rather than a Trump one but I don’t think I believe that. I also don’t trust that these people will organize post election, their advocacy ends at the ballot box.

          Liberals have never once shown me any desire to organise and “push their candidate left” as much as they love to preach about doing that.

          The fact that they keep giving the democrats every office they could possibly want without them having to do a damn thing is why they keep rushing right. May as well pocket the money from all the lobbies and ignore the people who will inevitably vote for you.

          If anything, we would see more organizing from liberals if Trump were elected. Granted, most of that organizing would be generic “trump bad” protests without any real attempts to enact change, but it would be more than the alternative.

            I’ve come to the conclusion that they would rather be comfortable in the empire than watch it fall. They want to stabilize the empire instead of destroying it.
