"The most common sign I saw at the No Kings rallies was the following, “If Kamala was president, we’d all be at brunch.” If you carried that sign, you might as well announce to the crowd you’re a self centered/vapid human being.
Under Harris, we’d still have Palestinians being slaughtered with immunity from Israel. Or, we’d still have thousands on the streets facing homelessness. That sign says none of that matters to you. None.
But I’m not surprised. These people don’t care about Palestinians or the homeless. They just care about getting their team into office, which is de facto getting their faction of the oligarchy into office.
What a stupid sign. "

Sorry, I have to rant here: Is US American left stupid? Your civil rights are being demolished, your friends, colleagues, comrades are being detained and deported, social services are being dismantled and your fragile democracy is being replaced by dictatorship - but your take is that under Harris Palestinians would have been killed as well. Same difference? You can not tell me with a straight face that the fate of Palestinians would be the same under Trump and Harris.
On the other hand this might just be a coping mechanism: you could have prevented Trump but now have to live with your decision and the reality that he didn't stop the wars he promised...
You misread the take. It's a jab at centrist complacency, at the people who would be perfectly happy to sit and let the shit happen so long as the veneer of democracy is still intact. It's not saying "under Kamala it would be just as bad", it is saying "these people would be out to brunch and not give a shit about problems if the "lesser evil" was in power".
You're right, we can't. Because even though it's true, BlueMAGA liberals will not acknowledge reality if it goes against the party
