    Well, this is probably closest we’ll see eye-to-eye on this so I’ll leave it here. Our paths appear to diverge in terms of the political strategy in order to win against the right-wing propaganda machine and ensuring the worst genocider got in power. I don’t think Harris wanted to be associated with Genocide and I don’t think she holds any love for Netanyahu. But hey, I appreciate you voting for Harris and acknowledging that Trump is worse. Those two things are very important to me.

      I saw no indicator of anything but mindless devotion.

      But hey, I appreciate you voting for Harris and acknowledging that Trump is worse.

      Yes, the Netanyahu wing of the party got my vote.

      Those two things are very important to me.

      The compliance of people to your left is more important to you than beating fascism.

        lol get out.

        I cared enough to defeat fascism that I didn’t undermine an imperfect alternative candidate that wasn’t my ideal preference in order defeat said fascism. If only more came to the same logical, ethical conclusion.

        Like you said: Harris was better in every way.

          Netanyahu couldn’t run in a US election, so you voted for your second preference.

          Like you said: Harris was better in every way.

          I did not say that.

            Oh? And do tell me on which issue Trump is better or the same for you as Harris? After all, you already said Harris was better for Palestinians than Trump.

            Evidently better enough to have voted for her, so that’s where it counts.

              She was second worst to trump. Better implies either of them rose to the level of good. Neither of them cleared horrific.

                  Ok. She was the better genocide supporter. I’d ask if you were happy, but I’m not literally netanyahu, so you’re not.

                    Haha, what’s with the strawman? Where did I say I liked Bibi? He’s a war criminal and the direct perpetrator of said Genocide and I would’ve come down hard on Harris following the election just the same to break away. He and Putin can share a jail cell at the Hague.

                    I am glad we cleared up and agree on the fact that Harris was better than Trump in every conceivable way, no matter how marginally.
