      I think this might be because they’re worried that if Rubio doesn’t get it that Trump will nominate someone even worse.

        I don’t care. We cannot continue this ’lesser evil’ bullshit. Look where it’s gotten us.

          Ignoring the ā€œlesser evilā€ route got us Trump and his cabinet. Good for us. Things will get much worse much more quickly. There’s not going to be a revolution or some great reset. Just oppression. Hard miserable oppression.

            Both candidates were openly supporting genocide in the last presidential election. Neither were a lesser evil.

              So you are saying things would be exactly as bad had Harris or Biden won?

                I’m saying both would’ve committed the same crime, and killed just as many Palestinians.

                I’m a socialist. I don’t participate in the Red & Blue MAGA obsession over which flavor of demagogue should be empowered and worshipped.

                  That’s all well and good, but it’s also not the question I am asking. Assuming your statement is correct, are you saying everything would be just as bad as it is or is going to get with Harris or Biden?

                    I don’t know. I guess it depends on your demographic. I don’t see how dying under a Democrat is better than dying under a Republican. Once it’s bad enough, the degree of how bad between the two is irrelevant.

                    If the only options are Hitler or Mussolini, the only correct choice is to fight the entire system.

              That’s outright not true. You can claim Kamala wouldn’t have tried hard enough to stop the genocide but she did NOT openly support it.

                  She also supported a ceasefire and two-state solution. Yes, she was more pro-Israel than I’d have liked, but that doesn’t mean she’s anti-Palestine.

                    She supported continuing arms sales to Israel, which is a crime. It’s a violation of both domestic & international laws. And we know the White House attorneys made the administration aware of this.

                    There’s no way to double talk out of this one.
