      But the important thing here is that you now have a way to discourage people from voting for Harris just like you had a way to discourage people from voting for Biden.

      Anything but stop the rapist dictator from marching all the Latino and queer people into camps.

        Clearly criticism for a candidate has no other purpose than getting people to vote for their opponents.

        /d

        Oh wait, that’s actually true if you live in the United States, where you lot play politics like team sports.

          Or… R2O spent months posting article after article about why people shouldn’t vote for Biden and is now doing it again with Harris. And not even really hiding it.

            And I was 100% correct. I said they will replace him for months prior. Look what happened. Biden is out.

            Still vote for Kamala/Walz but I’m saying if she keeps up this “clap back” shit against voters with valid concerns… she’ll lose battleground states. She needs every vote she can earn. She can’t afford to lose voters.

                At the very least she needs to publicly commits to ending arms shipments to Israel if elected. Barring that there is no reason to expect her policy to be any different from Biden’s.

        Anything but stop the racist dictator from completely destroying gaza and slaughtering all the Muslim children, more like.

        Why are we so quick to assume Harris will not listen to pro-palestinian protestors? She’s made some good decisions recently, maybe she’ll keep the good times rolling.

          She did listen to them. She literally was talking to them before they interrupted her rally. She has been consistently critical of Netanyahu, far more than Joe Biden.

          And suggesting we should not vote for Harris and allow a domestic genocide as if Trump would do anything to stop the Israeli genocide is just nonsense.

            And that’s exactly what the article says.

            And suggesting we should not vote for Harris and allow a domestic genocide as if Trump would do anything to stop the Israeli genocide is just nonsense.

            Haven’t actually seen anyone make that argument as of yet. So far all I’ve seen is reminders that the Biden gaza policy was what started the push to replace him, and Harris has yet to make a definitive stance on the issue yet.

              Well then maybe go up this comment chain, since you replied to me replying to an image posted by R2O which says everything needs to fall apart.

              Do you think everything will fall apart if Harris is elected? Because I sure don’t.

                In Gaza? Yea, I think it could continue getting worse if Harris does nothing. She hasn’t taken a stance on the issue yet, I don’t know what her plan is. But things are still escalating, aren’t they?

      Yep, and there’s not much we can do individually. My hope is that people will recognize this before it gets too bad. Most people are good, if given the chance.
