If you can't vote against fascism you will get genocide every time.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (10 children)

That’s the point. Both the Dem and GOP candidate were full blown, genocidal fascists.

Yep, no difference whatsoever. /S

If you really believe that then I guess you think nothing was lost.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That’s just an accidental admission that you supported the Democrats because of what you had to lose. You didn’t notice the one who had already lost everything.

Electoral politics sucks that way. If all you care about is a single issue, there might be no good option.

I don't think the applies to Gaza and Palestinians but plenty of people do.

But presidential elections are not about a single issue, unless you are short sighted or it's your life on the line. The rest of us have to make a judgement about a whole lot of lives and some of us are too self rightious to think clearly.

Genocide is not a “single issue.” For genocide to be allowed to happen, there has to be a mountain of other issues.

You are a disgusting person for hand waving genocide like this. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Honestly, I think the same of you. If you are American, You can't see the forest for the trees and you voted or allowed the election of someone that was even worse for the palestinians, Americans, and the world.

I'm sure the people being tortured in Cecot in Elsalvador take comfort that at least the Democrats got punished at the polls for their support of Israel.

The Ukrainian families that lost their loved ones when the US cut off intelligence sharing for 48 hours and let the Russians get the jump on exposed troops.

The thousands of US government workers that lost their jobs to DOGE can rest easy knowing that at least Harris didn't get elected after supporting genocide.

Nobodies life was saved, the isrealies continue their ethnic cleansing, with the full throated support of the US president, but you get to sleep soundly knowing All the death, torture, and suffering is worth it.

Shame.

Just a bunch pro-fascist NATO talking points. That lines up. You don’t oppose fascism. You just have a preferred flavor of it.

[–] Vincentmario@feddit.uk -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why are they pro fascist talking points? Is it a bad thing they're NATO talking points? Do you actually think this person doesn't oppose fascism?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

NATO is a fascist organization. No, I don’t think a person who supports Ukrainians being ruled by a far-right puppet government, installed by the US, opposes fascism.

[–] Vincentmario@feddit.uk -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm very curious to know why you consider NATO a fascist organisation. I don't mean to be facetious but I get the feeling you might have impossible standards.

Obviously that person doesn't support fascism though. I don't quite understand your criteria for labeling someone as a fascist or fascist supporter

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I don’t think ‘don’t commit war crimes’ and ‘don’t commit genocide’ are impossible standards. And NATO’s far right allies in Ukraine are literally drawing swastikas on every missile.
