Man it's getting downright gross how liberals are just so blasé about their acceptance of Palestinians being murdered.

It is really amazing to see a repeat of Weimar Germany going on. Next Harris just needs to appoint Steven Miller to some office and history will truly rhyme.

Liberals have proven yet again the difference between themselves and fascists is just aesthetics.

I really hate you people for spewing your propaganda like that.

  1. The "worse" part implies the democrats didn't give Israel everything it ever wanted which is in itself outright propaganda.

  2. I don't know why Ukraine is portrayed like Palestine. Where are they getting ethnically cleansed that I missed? Where is this coming from? Show some respect to the worst humanitarian crisis of the 21st century for the love of god

  3. At how many atrocious policies do you say enough? At how many rollbacks from republicans that the democrats do nothing about do you say enough? At how many genocides do you say enough? If the democrats committed a second one? Trump would commit more you say. A third one? Trump would commit more. A fourth? A fifth? At what point do you draw the line?

"If one were to take a utilitarian standpoint, the means are justified by the end, which from a utilitarianist perspective, is the maximization of benefit. Hence, for a utilitarianist, whatever option guarantees the outcome of the maximum benefit is what is moral. Therefore, in the trolly case, a follower of classical utilitarianism would say that it is morally permissible to sacrifice 1 to save 5.

The deontological perspective in contrast, advocates for the means justifying the end. This, for a deontologist, the morality of the action should be based on whether the action itself is right or wrong under a series of rules, rather than being based on the consequence. In this light, a follower of deontologism would argue that it is morally impermissible to sacrifice one to save five because making the choice of having to kill someone is inherently wrong."

You people should be less worried about leftists who despise both parties and more worried about the huge amount of people who just don't want to vote. Now it would be easier to convince people to get out and vote for an actual candidate rather than an artifact of campaign financing but hey, that's your problem to solve. Tell the Democrats to do better next time.

Thank you for confirming my bias that both sides are indeed the same - I will now proceed accordingly. 😜

/s btw, and damn I wish this was funny. As it is, it feels all too real...😔
