They're not all MAGAts, but they are all anti-empiricist conspiracy theorists, so it's only a matter of time before they land on Trump or run straight past it to Nazism. Surely you've seen this for yourself.

Cultural Bolshevism > cultural Marxism / post-modern neo-Marxists.

Immigrants polluting the blood of the nation > immigrants polluting the blood of the nation.

unified Reich > unified Reich.

Hooray for populists that aggressively fight against anything resembling worker solidarity, planning to end democracy, convincing people that it's for their own good, and bumbling their way into Nazism.

There isn't a third option.

You get the neoliberal that will be broadly disappointing, and likely perpetuate the situation in Palestine, or you get the open fascist that will make everything far worse - including Palestine, and potentially end US democracy. Both are bad, there's a yawning chasm of difference between the two.

Your spectacularly priveliged abstaineousness and the false equivalence you're drawing (even on the single issue you've pointed to) in such a critical swing state is cripplingly naiive, and gambles with the lives of who knows how many Palestinians, Ukrainians, and Americans. To sit back and vote for a Russian asset in this context is frankly disgusting.

There are 1,458 days of the election cycle to push for better - there's only one for keeping the fascists out of power, and you chose not to.

Don't forget the electoral college...

Broken-ass excuse for a democracy that'll be shattered if Trump wins.

But that would shift the election in favour of the Democrats...

Yes - if the GOP can't survive more proportional representation, they shouldn't.

Not actively, gleefully making things worse. Biden is doing this.

Working to stack the Supreme Court, and triggering a constitutional crisis in the process because the Republican Senate will refuse confirmation, and the Supreme Court that was stacked with self-contradictory GOP bullshit will agree with them would be the interesting move that won't happen because the Democrats are cowards and institutionalists rather than fascist monsters.

I can imagine there would have been an interesting dynamic between this piece of shit and fellow Bob's Burgers voice actor Sam Seder...

It shouldn't need to be explained why you shouldn't help a state murder journalists, but based on the downvotes we can already see in this thread, the genocide enjoying cowards and bots are doing their thing.

Should have happened after he started fucking with Starlink in Ukraine to aid a hostile state actor. Insanity.

Cancel culture strikes again... From the right as usual.

Palestinians killed in Gaza aren't terrorists - they're the victims of a genocide.

Since October 7th, 44,000 Palestinians have been killed compared to 1,706 Israelis. The stats over the past few decades don't deviate much from this ratio. Israel is killing many times more Palestinians, and a higher ratio of children, they're seizing land, holding many times more hostages, and committing and proudly documenting countless warcrimes.

Does Palestine have the right to defend itself like Israel? What would that look like to you? I ask mostly because you're actively supporting an ongoing genocide while blaming the victims of that genocide while applying inconsistent, nonsensical standards across the two groups.

Political violence is an inevitability. It's up to us to ensure we get the best possible type of violence.
