This will greatly confuse the tankies.
How? First off, Harris isn’t Biden. No one is confused by this, but maybe you are because you think Harris must have the exact same stances and opinions as Biden. Second, it wasn’t just “tankies” who were upset at Biden’s enthusiastic support for genocide. Anyone with any shred of decency is against genocide. Finally, people like you claimed that Biden was our best chance to beat Trump and insisted that we all had to throw our support behind him because Trump is worse and that anyone criticizing Biden for supporting genocide is a tankie. Turns out that him dropping out to make way for a better candidate actually works and many Americans are excited that we don’t have to support such a garbage candidate just because the other side has a worse candidate. The positive reaction to Biden dropping out was immediate and clear.
enthusiastic support
Are you fucking high?
Actually; how fucking high are you?
Biden was sending weapons and billions of dollars to israel while faking support to Palestinians (the shitty pier which didn’t help much or last long was the biggest sign) in an attempt to contain backlash just so he could keep sending the weapons and billions of dollars to israel. Noticing something so obvious doesn’t make me high, it just means I have a brain.
And if it weren’t for those ‘tankies’, you’d still have your genocidal baby murdering loser on the ticket.
You actually think Biden dropped out because of opposition from Stalinists and Leninists?
Once again, horseshoe theory prevails. Both the far left and the far right think that Biden answers to communists.
No, that’s just a plain-out exceptionally right wing American-brain dead theory, the same it would be if you replaced “Biden” with “Trump” in that text, for Communists, especially outside the West…
Of what illusion were their stances not antithetical to each other, in foreign policy especially?
Damn I was wondering when the person against Biden dropping out who I talked to bit ago went. You’re certainly still convinced Biden was the choice right?
Considering anyone who criticized Biden was labeled as a “tankie,” I’d say the tankies at the NYT and CNN probably played a role in it, yes.
I mean it pretty much contradicts her statement about not being silent. The protestors are not being silent, and she condemns them more harshly than the genocide they protest. Also, she has been conspicuously silent thus far as her administration acts in full support of the genocide.
I listened to it. It was an OK speech, but it willfully ignored the agency of Israel in the destruction of the Palestinian people. She called Hamas terrorists, but what about Israel? What do you call an administration and a nation’s army that’s committing genocide? She gave no scoldings to Israel, which to me is weak sauce.
The 269 - 144 House vote barring the State Department from even reporting Gaza death statistics should make it clear to anybody how powerful the Israel lobby is.
Okay cool, but it would still be electoral suicide if she goes all out, so she can’t do what you want her to do. She would have absolutely no power to actually do anything about it if she doesn’t win the election, and Trump has already said that he wants Israel to “win its war on terror” and imprison anti-war protesters, so Harris losing the election is decidedly the worst possible outcome for Palestine.
So it’s time to put aside whatever ideals you want to demand, and start accepting that Harris is leaps and bounds ahead of most other politicians on Israel/Palestine, and she’s already making it part of her campaign in a way that Biden never did.
These are critical moments. Before throwing criticism at the only person standing between Democracy and Dictatorship, consider everything that is at stake in this election, and ask yourself if it’s worth the effort to be fighting Harris when there’s literally a Neo-Nazi party trying to destroy the foundations of our country.
I think this was pretty much the best that could be expected from an american presidential candidate. Israel’s position in the geopolitical balance of power makes it impossible for her to just outright denounce them. She’s signalling that she’s (hopefully) going to be less limp-wristed than Biden was on the issue, but the US’s hands are largely tied when it comes to Israel - at least for as long as the forward outpost in the Middle East is as desirable as it still is to US interests.
Says ghoul who just sent out official public announcement denouncing pro Palestinian demonstrators.
She should step up the finger wagging. Maybe try this:
February 12, 2024: Biden Calls Benjamin Netanyahu an ‘Asshole’ in Private: Report
President Joe Biden has taken to privately disparaging his Israeli counterpart, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after months of not listening to his pleas for a cease-fire halting the country’s brutal assault on the Gaza Strip
Off topic but Linkerbaan is such a strange name. It translates to “left lane” which could either identify you as somebody who is a lefty, or as somebody who likes speeding on the highway. Which one is it?
That 5 million dollars in terrorist Aipac money tells me she’s a lying piece of crap. That and her history of being a liar while actually having no principles. Classic establishment politician tbf
She can’t even say more than 3 words without looking down at her teleprompter. It’s quite astonishing watching it.
Something about her being a criminal herself considering she prosecuted 1300 people for weed then years later laughed about it and admitted she smoked weed and definitely inhaled as well.
So, which is it? You’re mad she did her job, or you’re mad she smoked weed? Because, as you conveniently neglected to mention, when she admitted to having smoked it in college, she was also speaking to the fact that she supports legalizing it.
You just admitted that you’re just spamming agitprop until something sticks.
Here’s a fact check that goes over her history as a prosecutor. Hint: it doesn’t fit well into a single reductive sentence.
I hate to break it to you, but the teleprompter bit died with Obama. Trump and Biden both use them, too, they just got better at hiding them.
Yea no shit. And if she doesn’t get better at hiding it then trump possibly will dog walk her.
So, what? Why would anyone hide that they use teleprompters? This isn’t 100 years ago when everyone still carried their speeches on paper. Trump even famously threw a tantrum when his stopped working recently.
It’s even worse when he babbles incoherently for hours, whining about crowd sizes and people he hates and golf championships and his delusion that he won the 2020 election…
What is the purpose of this comment?
Are you saying that because she uses a teleprompter too much she isn’t going to be a good president?
Are you saying this because you are equating her use of a teleprompter to her intelligence?
Are you saying this with the intention of getting people to not vote for her because she isn’t perfect ?
Or are you just making a random statement about her?
I’m saying she didn’t write that speech nor even partake in it’s writing nor did she read over the damn thing once or twice. And it’s obvious she did not.
I’m saying how was that performance any better than Biden and him say accidently calling someone the wrong name and immediately correcting himself. At least the guy can get out complete sentences before pausing to read.
Any other candidate beside trump will dog walk her if she continues to read from that thing like that. That’s what I’m saying here.
