Wish American parking lots had shade like this.
I didn’t say it wasn’t important. It’s incredibly important. It’s not what is going to swing the average voter.
Then if it’s not going to decide anything, there’s no reason to shut up about it.
Your rhetoric is framing her as a failure because she hadnt put out a firm stance on ONE hot button issue right now.
Failure? No. I mean, I live in reality. She’s vastly more popular than Biden was, thank god. But ignoring the concerns of the electorate doesn’t make them go away. It just breeds apathy.
What is happening in Gaza is genocide. It is wrong. It is awful.
All the more reason to call for an arms embargo and keep calling for it. We spent so long talking about the moral high ground as a justification for maintaining decorum while Republicans stacked the courts and ignored laws we still have yet to prosecute. Yet we abandon morals entirely when we want to sell weapons to the head of a brutal apartheid regime to carry out genocide. Far as I’m concerned, our complicity in the latter calls into question our motivations for the former.
It is not the only thing happening. It’s not domestic. That’s what the average voter is concerned about - domestic issues.
So there’s no reason to shut up about it. We can oppose genocide and chew gum at the same time.
Your opinions are well represented. There’s plenty of pro-genocide users here who would prefer to lose just so they could blame the left and still have the genocide they want. Your comments keep being removed because you can’t stop shouting insults at people who don’t love genocide and only genocide like you do.
