Trump: convicted rapist, pedophile, misogynistic swine. Also failed businessman, pathological liar, corrupt to all hell. Sellout to Russia and the Nazis.
Harris: didn't condemn Israel.
Fuck off 'both sides'-ers

I'm leaving this up.
Tankies is when you condemn Democrats support of genocide
👏 bravo
I mean our only choices are Facists and cowardly facist enablers. Both sides really do suck.....
Truly. It’s like having to choose between a punch in the mouth or having your skin shredded off with a cheese grater.
Like, i don’t want either of those things. Someone please choose for me.
"The whole sale extermination of an entire race" is a little worse than "a punch in the mouth".
Phew. Good thing Trump won and the genocide ended.
This this this this this this this this.
I have zero goddamn sympathy for any so-called "leftist" who didn't vote for Kamala. You have condoned neo-facism to stroke your own ego. No two ways about it. At least now they get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Tell me, how's that self-righteousness taste?
I decided I'd rather die than vote for genocide.
Looks like I'll get my wish. I'm fine with that.
You say as the genocide in Gaza is being aided and abetted by Trump in a way it would never have been even by the Democrats.
You guys are so happy to throw Palestinians under the bus for your black and white worldview
Democrats wouldn't be speaking out against Israel under Harris. They'd be goose-stepping along with the administration no matter how many children Israel killed because the genocide was bipartisan before Trump.
Harris was speaking out about it, you just refused to listen.

"two state solution is the ‘only path’ forward"
August: https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/23/politics/gaza-israel-harris-convention-speech/index.html
"Vice President Kamala Harris called for the Palestinian people to be able to “realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination”
September: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-harris-says-two-state-solution-end-of-israel-hamas-war-is-crucial
"we must have a two-state solution where we can rebuild Gaza where the Palestinians have security, self-determination and the dignity they so rightly deserve.”"
October: https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/harris-dodges-direct-question-on-palestinian-deaths-calls-for-2-state-solution-during-cnn-town-hall/3372480
""It’s unconscionable, and we are now at a place where, with (Hamas leader Yahya) Sinwar’s death, I do believe we have an opportunity to end this war, bring the hostages home, bring relief to the Palestinian people and work toward a two-state solution where Israel and the Palestinians, in equal measure, have security, where the Palestinian people have dignity, self-determination and the safety that they so rightly deserve," said Harris."
Every month from becoming the nominee until the election: cease fire, hostage release, two state solution.
These are not genocidal statements.
Trump? https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-israel-pr-hugh-hewitt-21faee332d95fec99652c112fbdcd35d
“But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”
All that did was enable more genocide. Congratulations, all the shit ICE is doing is your fault.
Dude, didn’t you see their instance? They’re a tankie. They were never ‘refusing to vote for genocide’. They were always holding their vote in the hope that the evil US would destroy itself so Generous China and Glorious Mother Russia could take their place as the true and noble world leaders.
Just ignore them.
The genocide is bipartisan.
Also... do you think you're innocent? That you're absolved of this country's crimes?
Do you think that all you need to do is vote for a Democrat and you can wash your hands?
Being suicidal doesn't entitle you to take the rest us down with you! You've clutched your pearls so hard that you've managed to bloody your hands anyway.
Quit being unethical in the name of ethics.
Harris assured Trump voters that nothing would fundamentally change. The Democratic party is sitting on their thumbs while the fascists are taking over. Electoral politics don't save us from fascism.
You can make the point about trump being a criminally weirdo pervert fake businessman without misrepresenting (and therefore failing to learn from) the 2024 election.
Harris kicked tent poles out of the Big Tent(tm). This includes immigration (low latino turnout). It seems unserious to say it was just the blind eye to Israel's genocide that lost the election, i haven't seen a piece of evidence that bore out the genocide as Kamala's sole reason for losing the popular vote.
Its also the case that republicans spend literally billions more on media and it leads to them dominating online spaces with pure spam. Online posting is never a substitute for knocking on doors, a thing the Kamala campaign failed to do sufficiently.
DNC apologists always being like "well they were trying to recruit more bigots" and then act surprised when the bigots and their overwhelming piles of media cash chase voters out of the Big Tent
Wow. You really thought no accomplishments but arming a genocide was a winning message, huh?
Perfect is the enemy of better than the worst option
Your idea of perfection couldn't run. After all, he's the Israeli prime minister.
The democrats had a choice between genocide and curbing fascism. Your savior party chose to starve kids over halt fascism. Why are "tankies" obligated to respect your bizarre utility calculation, but Kamala and the democrats are not?
What is your red line? Assuming in 30 years, when the choice is between a candidate who wants 9 genocides and a candidate who wants 10, will you still be militantly democrat? Is there no point at which you would start to call into question your genocidal, fascist, enslaving government?
Brain-dead take.
Choosing genocide over winning the election was the braindead take.
You are still here at this discussion in 2025? I don’t get it man, I really don’t.
Did you understand that Harris was giving you a little treat just to continue a genocide? I guess by your comment that you are fine if those brown kids starve as long as you can still buy your favourite triple mcburger. Right? (͡•_ ͡• )
Your single-issue principles contributed to us being stuck again with Trump.
And guess what? The kids are starving even worse now, and being gunned down, when they're not being bombed. You must be really proud of yourself.
Why not go direct that pompous judgmental energy at people who actually voted for Trump, instead of spending your time berating people for not wanting to keep enabling the massively undemocratic 2-party system that led to fascism in the first place?
(Edit: I genuinely believe this subject gets astroturfed online, there is no way that there is really this big a percentage of cowards and dumbfucks out there who sincerely think that leftists are more to blame for Trump than actual Trump voters. Maybe you’re too timid to engage with Trump voters directly so it’s easier for you to stay in safe liberal spaces and bully the leftists there instead?)
Because the single-issue voters who refused to vote for Harris contributed to changing the 2-party system they had, to a 1-party system now.
Do 3rd party activism between election cycles, not when MegaHitler is close to being elected.
Edit: to whoever keeps replying to this old comment and getting banned: yes, genocide is an important issue. Now there's one more genocide and the old one is being accelerated because Trump wants a Gaza beach resort. But keep telling me how Trump is better than Harris.
Guess what? Kamala will never beat Trump. Turns out neoliberalism wont beat Fascism. All she had to do was be an actual opposition. Crazy. I know its so hard to be against genocide, so hard!
I know it’s hard to understand for you, but thank god I can’t vote in the states. I’m just telling you what it is, you can cover your eyes and ears if you like.
I guess outward fascism towards the 3rd world, and inward fascism towards the USA's own population seem like different things to you.
Trump's doing both, while Kamala sure as hell would have ensured the former.
We cannot live this contradiction in the USA anymore. Freedom and diversity for Americans means freedom and diversity for all humans. I'm so sick and tired of centrist liberals defending this corrupt USA that perpetuates the enslavement of the third world.
Whatever bullshit you have to tell yourself to sleep at night.
There's no such thing as "inward" or "outward" fascism. You're just making shit up.
It's just fascism, and your inaction has directly led to it. Well done.
Edit: here's one lovely reply to this comment that was removed. Totally normal. And let's be clear, I have not denied nor supported any genocide, I simply said that fascism is fascism and you don't break it into "internal" and "external", and this is what someone feels they need to say to me:
Here's their profile: https://thelemmy.club/u/wowAnotherPos
Normal stuff. Comment is deleted, but still has 2 points.
This is because I'm angry at people who refused to vote for Kamala. That means I deserve to be violently stabbed to death apparently.
Is it not liberals' agenda to retain some semblance of civil rights, while at the same time upholding foreign policy?
Gay Nazis are still Nazis.
You're dreaming of a state of affairs that doesn't exist.
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds
Luckily thanks to you and others like you they lost. Yay! Good job!
Now what?
Now you get to ignorantly blame progressives for what was, ultimately, a Democrat policy failure. Bonus - doing so drives a wedge between Democrats! Yay! Good job!
Now how about you do something fucking constructive.
Luckily thanks to you and liberals like you, instead of fighting back against the GOP in the 2 times these last 20 years where Democrats have had SUPER MAJORITIES in Congress, you passed half measures while playing identity politics.
We could have had meaningful, material improvements to people's lives, a good marker of de-escalation of violence, but instead the DNC, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and liberals clung to their monopoly on the only counter party to the fascists we have.
You all are still coping that you lost the 2024 election, and you're rutterless as to why
I have a clue: see what makes Zohran Mamdani so popular in New York. It has to do with rejecting the Democratic establishment and all the billionaire donors that back it
Why are you separating russia and israel? Both are fascist states.
Well to be fair, Trump wanted to cooperate with Israel on a beach resort in Gaza, whereas Harris was just afraid of saying Israel bad, because Israel buys a fucktonne of weapons from the US and a big part of the country is ridiculously pro-israel.
Kamala has no spine, she loves genocide.
What's Trump done for you that you're such a huge fan of his lmao
Yeah supporting genocide makes you unpopular crazy! surprise surprise fascism lite wont beat fascism. Kamala Harris will never beat Trump sorry
