"This is the behavior of a crazy person.

Trump is a massive failure as president. He has allowed a genocidal monster to take over the foreign policy of the United States.

Trump has permitted Netanyahu to drag America to the threshold of war with Iran."

    The answer to the problem is certainly not the Democrats, who wholesale supported this genocide for over a year.

    Both genocidal parties, and the genocidal capitalist system, must be torn down.

      I have a fantasy of a really long stockade with a lot of people just lined up in a row next to each other, and someone using a Force-wielded lightsaber just sliding down the rope of them.

      And every time I try to figure out who would be in it, it gets longer. But it would for sure include every conservative in the White House, in the Senate, in the House, and I’m the Supreme Court. Just the entire lot of them, none are redeemable as leaders, as politicians, as elected, or even as low as adult humans.

        If you fantasize about mass murder, you need to get help. I am not making a joke.

        Yeah they’re monsters, yes they need to face justice.

        What you are daydreaming about is not that.

          If the worst thing they can put on my story is “he wished he was a force user that just chopped off Nazi heads”, then I’m ok with that.

          I don’t need a court to rule that he’s a Nazi. And killing a Nazi is always ok in any circumstance. I’d argue in any manner as well, but I can hear out valid arguments otherwise. But I feel a simple beheading wouldn’t go a foul of most people’s sensibilities.

    Same thing we did when netanyahu was the de facto president last year: Speak truth, get ignored at best and met with hostility most of the time.

            It’s not hostility for being against genocide.

            Bullshit.

            It’s hostility for ignoring the genocide you have triggered back in the US. For people who were supposedly against genocide, you sure did help trump get elected, which made the thing you supposedly “care” about, about 100 times worse.

            You just want someone to blame now that your second favorite candidate is carrying out your only policy for you. If people who don’t adore everything netanyahu does weren’t worth listening to, you don’t get to blame us when what we tried to warn you would happen happens.

            Hope your moral righteousness can stop ICE.

            Your moral cowardice made this happen.

              You know what made this happen is a bunch of so-called leftists who make voting for the President (or even worse, withholding their vote) their only political act.

              We could change the world if we’d unite and get involved in primaries and get out and inspire and educate. But instead we sit at our computers and shitpost and laud our own supposed moral superiority and deride other leftists who are only slightly different than us while everything in the real world just gets incrementally worse and worse.

                WHAT FUCKING PRIMARIES? We didn’t have any last year because your shitty wing of the party decided we shouldn’t have a choice. After all, we might choose someone who wasn’t hell bent on wiping out Gaza like party leadershit wanted.

                  I’m specifically talking about EACH AND EVERY FUCKING PRIMARY. No one except a small bunch of boomers ever bothers to take part in these. You’re proving my point by instantly assuming that presidential primaries are the only primaries. This is a crisis that has only been enabled over decades by the apathy and lack of participation of leftists.

              My “moral cowardice” led me to vote for kamala because my trans sister is now fearing for her life.

              I hope you can look at your Hispanic friends and tell them you have moral righteousness as they are arrested and shipped off to prison.

                I voted for Harris too. but since I had the fucking temerity to criticize genocide, you’ve decided that I’m to blame for her losing.

                Hiding behind the vulnerable minorities your party throws under the bus every chance it gets in order to justify genocide is low and shameful.

        Oh are you one of the little genocide lovers?

        We’ve all seen the data. It wasn’t the anti-genocide side who made you lose, so don’t try to blame us for your fetish.

          no, you dope. I have the maturity to understand that fighting against Trump’s opponents means Trump wins. Trump is worse genocide than Harris ever would have been.

                centrists sure love to mischaracterize opposition to their genocide as support for their close second choice.

                  OMG you got me so hard!!! Great way to cope with the outcome of your actions.

                  trying to stick the “genocide” label on anything that’s not your fringe morally-pure choice (if you can even name a choice instead of being anti-everything) will surely result in more effective results!

      Witty signs no less. To show that despite the apparent severity of the state of the world, they do have a sense of humour.

      They might as well ban all guns now. I was willing to go along with this weekly(?) school shooting schedule as long as that meant they would actually use the guns when the time came. But now that the time has come, all those kids seem to have died for nothing.
