A trolley problem format meme depicts the genocide of Palestinians on one track and the false equivalence of genocide to LGBT, BLM, and abortion on the other track.

It's not a false equivalence, there is no equivalence argued for in the meme. It points out that genocide in Gaza will happen on either track, but only one of them will actively make things worse for other groups I care about also. It's not calling them equivalent, in fact it's arguing they are not equivalent which is why we have a moral obligation to keep It off the track with more people on it. At best, the outcome for Gaza is equivalent, but the outcome for others is not.

Who says it's not getting worse?

Are you delusional enough to think that Trump and Harris will have identical outcomes for the other groups listed? Even if Harris doesn't "fix" those issues, preventing them from getting worse is better than allowing them to get worse. No improvement on abortion access is objectively better than a national abortion ban or anything else Trump (or really, the Heritage Foundation) wants.

I should explain why Democrats who endorse a genocide of brown people might be bad on BLM??

Ah yes, because Harris isn't as anti genocide as we want, it's totally logical to assume she would be in favor of black people dying more at the hands of police. Yes, that totally follows. And definitely the best option to improve policing is to let Trump be in charge. He will totally not work to make things worse.

You believe Harris has somehow preserved abortion rights and that others are delusional?

Even if Harris doesn't "fix" those issues, preventing them from getting worse is better than allowing them to get worse. No improvement on abortion access is objectively better

A person who made their career out of imprisoning mostly black and brown men should be somehow seen as strongly against "black people dying more at the hands of police"?

I love that you cut off the quote mid sentence, conveniently leaving out the part that would have answered your dumbass question. No improvement to abortion access is objectively better than working to make things worse. If those are the only two options, we all have a moral obligation to keep things from getting worse.

You're the one who implied it was the Dems fault because it happened while they were in power. Harris isn't president and so couldn't have done anything either way for abortion. But she certainly hasn't made them worse and is not in favor of making abortion access more difficult. Trump, on the other hand, will actively work to make them worse.

I'm sorry, what is Harris' stated position in BLM vs Trump's? Which one of them said "please don't be too nice" to them while talking to cops about suspects? Which one of them sent DHS to black-bag protestors during BLM again?

Your claim implying "issues only exist or worsen under Trump" is as bizarre as it is unsubstantiated.

Thanks to Harris, abortion rights have been preserved in America? There was no meaningful* change under her administration?

Why are you desperate to make this personal and attack me rather than stay on topic?

Why are you desperate to discuss Trump instead of Harris?

I don't imply they only exist under Trump, I specifically said that even if they stayed the same under Harris that would be better than allowing Trump to make them worse. If you don't see that Trump has been saying he will make the lives of immigrants and trans people worse if he had the power I can't help you. Maybe open your fucking eyes. At least Harris isn't advocating for banning medical care for trans folks or using the military to round up immigrants and hold them in military camps.

Jesus Christ dude, learn how to read. We already covered this. Harris doesn't have an administration, she is part of Biden's. Things got worse because of actions Trump took while he was in office. Remember the part about taking a civics class to leave about SC appointments and the filibuster? Again, even if she doesn't make abortion access better, that's objectively better than allowing Trump to institute a nation ban.

Why are you desperate to make this personal and attack me rather than stay on topic?

Porque no los dos? I'm attacking your dipshit opinions and your actions of choosing to not vote and allow trump to win and make the lives of everyone worse.

Why are you desperate to discuss Trump instead of Harris?

We've talking about both this whole time, you just want to pretend that allowing Trump to will is totally separate from voting for Harris. There are only two outcomes here, Trump wins and makes things worse, or Harris wins and she doesn't.

Is "dip shit" what your bullies called you as a child?

Do you think you are bullying any progressives with your long-winded hateful rants?

[-] Whattrees 2 points 3 days ago

No, it's just fun to call people with harmfully stupid opinions words that correctly describe their mental state.

No, people like you are beyond convincing with reason, as you never reasoned your way into your position. It's cathartic. And hopefully someone less brain damaged will see how incredibly dumb and dangerous your opinions are.

[-] Cleggory@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Come on, I'm sure you learned something during your unloved childhood.

Your only passion in life is to now vaguely troll people who disagree with genocide?
