The mental gymnastics involved:
Kamala Harris is committing a genocide | You are aware of this and do not care | You are a genocide supporter

This shows an important aspect of how they're providing cover for the genocide.

There's no Democratic Party, there's no caucuses or leadership.

It's just like 100 million helpless smol beans who are against all war but they can't do anything! They're so smol and helpless! So they just have to join the regime's genocide because they're so smol!

And to an extent they're right. America doesn't have real political parties. There's no structure, there's no leadership, there's no accountability. To the best of my knowledge the democrats don't really have anything like the internal party structure of the communist party in China or Cuba or the old Soviet states. There's no mechanism for the rank and file to put demands on the leadership. I'm not even sure if they have any organized internal structure, i think in a real sense they pull it all together during elections.

The Democrats and Republicans do not even have the party structures of bourgeois parties elsewhere in the imperial core. There is no accountability of the leadership, no publically agreed-upon party programme, the caucuses and primaries exist without any formalized framework.

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

It would be deeply unserious if they weren't perfect as their jobs as stooges for the bourgeoisie and jesters for the public

[-] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

I fucking wish. There is an iron fisted Wall Street endorsed policy platform that candidates break from at their own peril.

There's no structure, there's no leadership, there's no accountability.

Tell Jamal Bowman and Cori Bush. Tell Al Franken and Jessica Cisneros. Tell any number of would be popular Dems who hit a brick wall of party insider money or find a knife in their backs for pissing off the wrong Middle Eastern money laundering group.

There is structure. There is leadership. There is accountability. It's all just run by bad people.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

All very true.

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

I don't support genocide, therefore I support the person committing genocide. I am a serious adult who shouldn't be thrown down a mineshaft with the other fascists.

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

pit noooo I said I was sad about itttttt

[-] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

It's an ethical genocide which falls within a Rules Based International Order. Not anything like the lawless, foreign, bad kind of genocide that the other side endorses.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

morshupls Liberals explaining how voting for the vice president helping perpetuate a genocide is NOT genocide support, while also attacking their opposition by saying he will perpetuate a WORSE genocide

[-] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

This is absolutely brilliant

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

I always keep it in my back pocket, but surprisingly enough I always meet Honest Westerner types, never Lockheed Liberal types that try to justify their cognitive dissonance.

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

What's an honest westerner type?

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

The ones in the meme, the ones that just say "yeah fascism benefits me so I'm a fascist" instead of trying to say they love human rights while still endorsing genocide/working at a defense company.

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Ahhh okay I don't know how I missed that lol, thanks for the patience

[-] JayTreeman@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

It's never even a denial of the genocide. If they were unintentionally ignorant, that would be better.

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Voting for the genocide-supporting candidate is not supporting genocide, yet somehow not voting for the genocide-supporting candidate is supporting the other, supposedly more genocide-supporting candidate.

"The system fucking sucks, so we have to perpetuate it."

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

"One of the two parties is gonna win though. I'm being a pragmatic adult who doesn't live in fantasy land." smuglord

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

"also if the wrong one wins the system will collapse so we have to make sure the right one wins even if it's bad otherwise we don't have democracy. And yes we gotta do it again in four years. Be realistic." smuglord

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

This is exactly where most libs are at right now. They have become a parody of themselves. A smuglord oroboros

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"The system fucking sucks, so we have to perpetuate it."

The subtext and ultimate political message of most P R E S T I G E T V shows, right there.

[-] Mokey2@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

I dont get how Trump will be a worse outcome for Palestinians, we already are giving Israelis free reign to do whatever they want

[-] miz@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

liberals think that if you don't sugarcoat your motivations with lies and excuses this makes the bombs hurt more

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

Somehow trump is going to make white phosporous burn hotter or be more toxic

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

A fate worse than death.

[-] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

I get a slew of downvotes over on Lemmy every time I ask how many Palestinians will still be alive by the time Trump takes office.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 year ago

They can't explain just say it'll be worse cause it's trump. Pointing out it can't really get worse for them even if nuked does nothing but it'll be worse cause they'll be put in camps

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Except they're already being put in camps

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

Yes but they can't accept that point

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

My solution to genocide? Simple. Duct tape over my mouth, and zip tying my hands together. Simple! liberalism

Banging the sign again...

I simply throw it right back at them. 50% of the electorate does not vote, so if they aren't doorknocking they are not serious. If they have the energy to complain about non-voters, then they have the energy to get their ass off the computer and pounding pavement.

previously... previously... previously... previously... previously... previously...

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lmao we should have a bot for this. This is like the electorialist version of when I hound libs asking them why they won't volunteer for Ukraine

[-] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

It would ironically be less effort to make that bot than manually keeping up with the i-voted LIB

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In general we need more bots.
I've got so many I wanna make, just wish I could code

Bison from Street Fighter repeatedly saying 'Yes!'

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

The libs like this who support Isreal, support Ukraine, and support Harris that go "um all killing is bad actually. I'm against ALL war." smuglord

Like this puts them in some unassailable moral high ground while they continue to support the US lead genocide and global hegemonic aggression

[-] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Got into a argument with a family member that made the same thing “I hate to see people suffer, war is bad… but also I’m gonna support the side that’s carrying it out”

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Many such cases

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Hey lirebals, switch to parliamentary system with proportional representation then.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

almost a wasted vote

Such a mealy mouthed liberal that even their own non-point is blunted with the "almost" language. SAD! trump-drenched

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Yes i support the administration carrying out a genocide. Yes i am not just voting but advocating for others to vite firva candidate who has explicitly said they will continue the genocide. But have you considered that I'm personally against ALL killing? Mental gymnastics much tankie smuglord

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

I was there for that shit.

The Drej Queen of the Drej Tank is totally for war and killing and can, if excessively, fix all of this.

[-] roux@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

You guys don't get it! Killing all the Palestinians because we are Israel's cuck will be way worse under Trump! Please vote for the girlboss genocider instead! I'm a lib and I have the moral compass of turd that's been baking in the sun.
