  • Gun manufacturers are having a great year.

  • By that logic, a gun won't either. Many gun owners are shot by police. If you shoot back at an unlawful entrance, they just bring more. They don't really care. Power disparity is too great already.

    This fight is won elsewhere.

  • True. In Russia they may give you the empty weapon, prod you to the APC, lock it then drop the mags inside from the top.

    They've definitely thought all about this, sadly.

  • I've been worrying about this. They'll use conscription to draft anyone anti-maga to fight and use other nations like Iran to do the fighting. If they resist they'll be imprisoned.

    Russia does the same.

    I'm disappointed you couldn't follow simple instructions. This must be bad faith.

  • Now this comment is hilarious and demonstrative of wide range of folly, not only of that particular history, but improper use of the term fascism. False equivalence fallacies aside, tell me:

    • Who in the world IS doing things right to you and who has been in power for at least 8 years or more?
    • Yes or No: Putin and Xi are war criminals, too. (no deflections).

  • That's true. I also saw Bibi meeting with candidate-Trump more than Harris.

    Couple private Mar-a-Lago meetings, if I recall.

    Leaving aside PAC donations from zionist Miriam Adelson, second only to Musk in givings.

    You really believe Netanyahu preferred Harris or Biden over Trump?

  • US Admits It Was ‘Likely Responsible’ for Mass Killing of Iran Schoolgirls

    Jump

  • We can't know for sure, of course. But we do know whom Bibi preferred and didn't prefer.

    We also know Harris has already publicly condemned this war. It isn't much, but it's unquestionably better than the rapist pedophile who also caves to Putin at every turn.

  • I hear you. I don't expect much from them; I engage to ensure newcomers who know no better don't get fooled -- which is their objective to deceive.

  • By all means, your position is valid if during the primaries; it's not valid once primaries are over and the outcome of the election is all but guaranteed to be one of the candidates on the ballot. After that, however, one begins making an accelerationist argument, and I cannot abide because along that pathway a lot of people will suffer. We are closer to the brink of WWIII or nuclear war than ever before when that wasn't always an assured outcome.

    I also cannot fault the hero who didn't fight well enough versus the villain who made it necessary to fight perfectly.

    I will always be on the side of anti-fascism above all. Even if that means choosing a lesser evil, or lesser poison. If only to save one life; if only to give access to abortion for one more woman; to promote one better vaccine policy, etc.

    Otherwise, letting the fascist in leads to an acceleration of Entropy.

    I hope one makes the case during these primaries actively and supports said candidates (do you have some in mind in any particular races), but after that we all join together to fight the much greater inevitable danger that is the Republican party.

  • I love that I already have you tagged lmao.

    Yes or No: Western Leaders aside, Xi is a authoritarian war criminal, as well as Putin.

    Try your best to answer yes or no without Whataboutism deflection.

    Edit: Oof, they dodged this mightily lol. First comment they downvoted and refused to acknowledge thus far.

    How convenient!

  • Please elaborate on how you feel your vote does not matter in your Democratic primaries!

    I'll just write what I wrote elsewhere. I had much criticism of Harris as I did Biden. I also believe we should all be EXTREMELY vocal about the influence AIPAC crap and center-right conservative politics has on the Democratic party. By all means, this is the primaries -- be vocal and critical of the DNC. But it should be noted that Biden proved to be better than Trump in a myriad of ways:

    • Climate Change
    • Ukraine policy
    • Taiwan policy
    • COVID/Vaccine response
    • LGBTQ+ Rights
    • Women's Rights
    • Education policy (tried for tuition forgiveness for the working class, blocked by Republicans).

    If we only focus on one aspect of someone's policy (which even then I refuse to believe Harris is as bad as Trump on Gaza), it can skew the big picture.

    Unfortunately, my vote for Harris wasn't ideal; it was simply a matter of damage-control. It's my firm belief that these US service-members would not have been sent. It's my firm belief that these 100+ Iranian school children would not have died. Leaving aside all the issues I previously mentioned where Harris and the ENTIRE Democratic party is objectively-better on (leaving aside, you know, Harris, Biden, Obama, etc. NOT being in the Epstein Files).

  • No shit. Gambling overall has gotten out of control.

    Guess whose conservative appointments to the Supreme Court voted to legalize gambling everywhere.

  • Wake me up when Tlaib stops being a Democrat then.

    Until then, she knows what you do not.

    Are you involved in your state's Democratic primaries? Whom are you supporting to change the makeup of the Democratic party!?

  • US Admits It Was ‘Likely Responsible’ for Mass Killing of Iran Schoolgirls

    Jump

  • No Palestinian, or Iranian school children would feel safer or even as-safe with Trump than Harris as bound by the coalition of Democrats who included Rashida Tlaib herself and Bernie Sanders and other vocal critics of Israel. I certainly wouldn't for me or my family! I'd be outright praying for Harris and I'm not even religious!

    Are you involved in your state Democratic primaries? Who are you supporting in said primaries?

    (edit: This person's evasiveness and wedge-driving vector suggests a far-right bot that most likely does not originate from America. Tag them.)

  • I'll take "milquetoastyness" over outright fascism any day. Would I love more progressive candidates across the board? Yes, absolutely! (By the way, are you engaged in your Democratic Primaries in your state right now?)

    And so would any other sane, rational individual.

    It's kind of like the 1 nazi at the table argument. If you're willing to sit out an election when literal nazis are running even if you don't identify as one, and don't absolutely love the alternative binary non-fascist choice, then you're basically still a nazi.
