I too lived on a dollar or less a day before becoming the lower middle class person I am today. It's easy when your parents buy everything for you and you don't have expenses.

If it means less guns, I personally dgaf.

I'll still take her vote

"Voting for Harris is voting for genocide."

I did a job shadow at a PT clinic years ago. That's where I learned that. Just scrape it all off until it eventually heals.

I used to have a manager that once slid out on her motorcycle on some loose sand and got a bit of road rash. The recovery was similar.

Just listened a bit. The song is bad, and the singing isn't particularly good, but I didn't think it was as bad as the quips make it seem. The audio sounds heavily manipulated. I've definitely heard worse.

I think genocide is bad. I think Israel is committing genocide against Palestine. It's absolutely disgusting and I would love if the USA could/would somehow cut the cord on support until they stop permanently. I say "could" because when talking about geopolitics, the world is extremely complicated, and I know that I, and probably every person here, don't know everything the US government does regarding relations with Israel and the implications of cutting off support. I'm not putting on a tin foil hat or anything, I just know that I don't know everything, so it would be disingenuous to say that it's as easy as just saying no to Israel.

The problem I have, is that comments like yours saying that Harris is 100% pro genocide, which is an emotionally charged statement to complex situation. Those types of comments infer information, pass it as facts, and then use that to attack her. I don't think there is anything wrong with being critical of the situation, and i believe discourse is healthy for growth and betterment, but these are just brute force attacks that don't help the situation. They don't leave room for an open dialogue, and are more likely to hurt Harris's chances of winning in November. I do believe that at the root of of these statements, the intent is to pressure the admin for change, but I think that it has the adverse effect due to the way the argument is presented, especially because currently as VP, she doesn't have the power to change anything anyway.

I feel like a broken record saying this in Lemmy, but when November comes, there will be two candidates with a chance to be POTUS. Until then, Harris's #1 goal is to get elected, because if that doesn't happen then she can't do anything anyways. Attacking that and turning off voters can end the most important part of change. After the election is complete and if she wins, go to town on the hard protesting when she actually can enact change and Trump is no longer a legitimate threat to the future of the US and likely a much worse situation for Palestine.

To reiterate, I hope Netanyahu faces punishment for the atrocities that he has ordered. I hope that there is a Nuremberg Trials type situation once all of this is resolved, and that people face consequence. I hope that I'm wrong and it's super easy, and that Harris sees the light and says "no".

"I trust that you'll also be calling all the people who accuse anyone who is even slightly unhappy about genocide of being trump supporters liars too, *right*?"

That was a reply from you to me. It's not a persecution complex when you literally did that I said you did.

Where in your example of a pro genocide comment, does it suggest that anyone against genocide is a Trump supporter? Nowhere, because it didn't happen. You are just making up more shit.

Oh, so you're going to go around and telling anyone that's voting for Harris and supports her over Trump, that they are happy and complacent with genocide, and then you're still going to vote for her like somehow you're different? Holy shit is that the most hypocritical thing I've read in a long time. That's quite the high pedestal you've put yourself on there.

No, I'm just calling you a liar. You are literally saying that person you're referring to said they are happy about genocide, and that others should be happy about genocide, which never happened. You are making up the words that were never said to emotionally support your view.

But I will also say, if you think that not voting for Harris in November will in any will help end the genocide, you're grossly mistaken, and such an action would be in direct support of Trump's presidential election. Interpret those facts how you will.

When did the person you responded to say that anyone is or is expected to be happy about genocide?
