The number of pro-genocide centrists who accuse anyone who doesn’t love genocide as much as they do of being trumpers will never surprise me.

Maybe they just have a tendency to confuse the painfully obvious consequences of not voting or voting against Harris for your actual intended goals. Trump is clearly going to be worse for Palestinians since he outright said Netanyahu should just finish the job, so if you’re on a clear and obvious path to getting someone even worse elected, we can’t help but wonder if you don’t actually care about the Palestinians because for all the bitching and moaning about Harris’s stance, you’re on your way to making the situation objectively worse.

I’m voting for Harris and have never, I want to stress this, absolutely fucking NEVER suggested doing otherwise.

You will of course completely ignore this because I dared to say that genocide isn’t the only thing in this world that gives life meaning.

I’ll admit I was mistaken given your comment was sandwiched between two people suggesting otherwise and given your suggestion that anyone tired of listening to those people try to discourage voting for Harris is pro-genocide. You may not be one of them, but you walk a very similar walk here, so I wouldn’t be so surprised by the confusion.

Calling her “pro-genocide” might very much suggest to people that they should not vote for her.

Saying they are “pro-genocide” is beyond hyperbolic.

These type of extreme, over the top comments hurt way more than help.

Hurt what? The tender fee-fee’s of pro-genocide centrists? If they don’t want to be called pro-genocide, they should stop supporting genocide. If they don’t want to be called pro-genocide, they should stand firm on literally any other issue. But they fucking don’t. Everything else is up for negotiation. Everything else is fertile ground for capitulation. Not genocide. That’s the only thing centrists won’t budge on.

damn right

Harris could easily at this point make her own platform to run on that includes what the voters are asking for

her refusal to acknowledge the voters’ concerns is very telling

Ugh, your just as bad as Trump and MAGA with these childish comments. Please at least try to have an adult conversation, if your “fee-fees” can manage.

Being “pro-genocide” means they like and want it. That’s not the reality, and if you think she really loves genocide you’re a lost cause.

And I agree we should fight it, we should stop genocide but right now, which side do you think it’s more open to thatb conversation? Because it’s not the side that wants to removing voting. So I say get her in to office at all costs to protect democracy and then work to fix that.

I’m just not ready to let the country burn to the ground over this and put us in a situation where we no longer even have a voice to speak out against it. People don’t seem to understand what’s at risk here in the US and the longer term effects it would have. Was in the middle east and Eastern Europe could become the norm.
