My wife is Indonesian Muslim, hates Kamala for what we're doing in Palestine and told me not to vote for her. I'm still voting for Kamala but man that was a hard conversation I never would have expected. Seems like the military owns everything these days

Oof, that must be a weird conversation. Am Indonesian.

Any conversation touching Islam adjacent lost any nuance with the general population more often than not . Not saying your wife is one, but let's be honest the education quality here is abysmal and at the same time we're number 1 muslim by population. Also our "Netizen" is notorious for wrongly attacking any issue they misunderstood.

One of our top singer got berated nationwide because she wore a skirt with a random arabic text in it, people thought it was a Holy script and she's Christian.

I kid you not one election season I saw an angry mob with a banner that said USA = COMMUNIST !!

Most have hard enough time just to get by day to day so I get it, they take anything to blame. With corruption top to bottom it's a sad state all around. I'm grateful it's still a relatively peaceful affair though, at least here in Java.

The hard part is, she gets to pick between genocide, and genocide with fewer rights for women.

I don't understand why she'd pick the latter, but anger does crazy things.

Have you considered having solidarity with your wife? Did you convince her to vote Kamala, or is this still a wedge issue? Or are you not even telling her?

Your copy/pasted comment is telling people to defeat MAGA with socialism. But first let's get it to hard mode by having MAGAs take over and do Project 2025, right?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A Socialist revolution is "hard mode" whether the Democrats or Republicans are in charge, I don't know where you're getting the idea that the establishment parties would be any friendlier or more hostile to a literal revolution.

I also don't know why you're saying I am suggesting voting for Trump either, not once have I encouraged it.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Only one of two people will win. You're asking this person if they considered voting against the less awful choice.

I'm sure we're both pissed off about how protesters are treated right now. Only one of two parties is saying we need National Guard, deport the protesters, that presidents can execute whomever as an Official Act, that the military should be used against the opposition over speech.

Yeah, so go with your "nach Trump kommen Wir" plan, it will be equally hard to achieve socialism either way, NBD. Not sure why it isn't, "equally hard either way so let's pick the ones at least pretending women and LGBT people should have human rights," but you do you.

Have you ever considered that people aren't a hive mind?
