Republicans vs Democrats

Are you just going to ignore the racist and xenophobic talking points by Harris about how immigrants are bringing fentanyl to kill US citizens? Or Harris bringing up the factually incorrect claims about Hamas members and Palestinian men sexually assaulting Israelis, based on racist colonial tropes. Or how Harris was a top prosecutor that spent her entire career locking up minorities. I could go on and on, the entire debate consisted of the candidates trying to outdo each other with the amount of racism they were spewing.

You're doing a fine job of ignoring Donald's ¯(ツ)/¯
- You're doing a fine job of ignoring Kamala's.
  
  But I'm not?
- whatabout Trump
  
  Oh come on, it's a false equivalence on its face. How many other options are there?
- All trumpanzees so obviously need to be rounded up and shot that it's not even worth mentioning. It's libs like you that need to be called out for trying to use faux progressivism to justify the exact same shit trumpanzees want.
  Edit: Lol some lib responded to this comment and blocked me before I could see it and now there's a big argument in the replies.
  
  As opposed to the very authentic progressivism of rounding up and shooting political opponents?
  
  People like you are why reconstruction went the way it did
  
  If you can't reach your ideal democracy without executing dissidents, that's not democracy.
  
  'Dissidents' like they're some powerless minority being oppressed and that their dissent isn't over the value of human life. This is why we say that liberals are the same as fascists. "Sorry freemen, if we crack down on the whites killing you and passing black codes, it's just not a democracy!"
  
  Ah yes, peak anti-fascism: declaring your political opponents to be monolithically evil to justify their execution. Half of all American voters are subhuman scum that must be cleansed to bring about democracy.
  
  In a conversation talking about nazis and klansmen:
  declaring your political opponents to be monolithically evil to justify their execution
  but don't you see the good side of the nazis??
  
  The bad side of the Nazis was executing people.
  
  If you can't stop a genocide electorally, that's not democracy.
  
  You can, if you stop abstaining or voting third party out of protest. You can't blame the electoral system for being ineffective if you don't use it right.
  
  How? Both candidates support genocide, is there an option on the ballot to dismantle the genocidal US Empire?
  
  The problem is systemic, it can't be solved by one office in one election.
  Y'know the old saying about the best and second best times to plant a tree? Sweeping political change takes time. You need progressive candidates to prove themselves on local and state levels.
  It'll take 6 years to replace every governor and congressperson, and based on the landscape I see, at least 5-10 years to promote enough progressives to a position suitable to candidacy. 15-20 years of voting for capable progressives in every race from school board to governor will provide us with a rich crop of experienced candidates.
  That does mean voting lesser evil until you can get proven progressives on the ticket. That's just reality. If you don't vote for a candidate that wins, you didn't get even the most meager semblance of representation. Not getting what you want because the voters that disagree with you outnumber the ones that agree is the fundamental principle of democracy. Show up. Vote, for someone who might win.
  Republicans planted their tree 50 years ago. Progressives' best move in the next few elections is show up in droves to big tent blue wave, and then splinter when the Republican party is defunct.
- It's not news to anyone that Trump is a massive piece of shit.

So you acknowledge Kamala is pro-genocide?

Not in the way that you want. But you've already decided so why waste my breath?
- What other way is there to be pro-genocide? I guess you feel there needs to be some other option since you're a genocide supporter yourself
  
  You're trying a little too hard to discourage people from voting for Harris. That is, it's a little too obvious.
  
  They just don't like genocide and she supports a genocide. Everyone knows Trump does, so there's is no need to say anything about it, but Democrats like to pretend they don't. If that makes you feel uncomfortable for supporting her, it probably should. Genocide was considered the biggest possible evil in the world until the Dems started supporting it, too. The fact that it seems wrong is why people talk about it, because liberals say they feel bad about it so some of them can be pushed on the issue to resolve this contradiction through to doing something about it, while Republicans gleefully cheer for it, so there's no reason trying to convince them to do anything.
  We need to live in those uncomfortable feelings because it might actually force us to think about them and change some shit, or to at least realize the system is fundamentally broken. It can prompt questions, like If we can't vote out a genocide, do we live in a good democracy? Why are some issues up for debate and not other issues? If our system and democracy is broken, should we be stomping around the world criticizing others' in Venezuela, China, Cuba, Mexico, Bolivia, etc? Is there a different reason we do so, like imperialism? Have other claims about the US being the good guy at all times been wrong as well? What current propaganda are we buying into? When people confront these wrongs and ask questions about why things are the way they are, it can also encourage them to study history and capitalism to find out why.
  Or, you can be like those outside the DNC, rushing past the protestors, closing your eyes and plugging your ears, then act surprised and distraught when your life is made worse because the adventures abroad from candidates you supported blow back on us through terrorism, fascism, and immigration. But if we never think about the contradictions of our own positions and policies, we're no better than the cult of Republicans, are we?
- The Biden administration (of which she is a part) continues to send weapons to a state that is openly using those weapons to commit a genocide, and Kamala has plainly stated she has no intention of stopping the flow of those weapons. What other way am I supposed to interpret this, exactly, other than her being pro-genocide?
- "Not in the way you want"
  Oh fuck you, how put upon. You're the real victim here, having to deal with moral scorn. Boo fucking hoo.

in the right is racism and genocide, but in way that's palatable to libs, you’re just happy to mislead

The right is genocide AND rascism. But you knew that already, you're just happy to be self-decieved

Don't forget rape!

Blue MAGA has proven that's not a deal breaker for them either lol
- Something something Tara Reade is a Russian agent
  
  Ding ding. In addition to Bill Clinton and Hillary covering up for him. And Epstein, but thats the whole ruling class

Agreed, no rapist or rapist supporter can ever be trusted with power
The left candidate on the right and the right candidate on the left has me confused about what she these comments are on.
- There's no left candidate here though. Only two genocidal capitalists
  
  Very true, for purposes of this comment, I'd mean relative to each other.

And Trump's solution to the genocide is nuking Gaza.

If you're using Harris's stance on Palestine/Israel as a reason to not vote for her, you're an idiot.
