John Mearsheimer: “I won’t vote for the Democrats because of the genocide in Gaza. I think the Biden administration is complicit in the genocide and genocide is a red line for me.”

    So you have no red line.

    In 2028 when Harris is exterminating everyone in the immigration detention camps you’ll vote for her because Republicans are worse.

      Yeah like that would ever happen… 🙄

      Edit: under Kamala Harris I mean.

        It doesn’t take a lot to go from concentration camps to extermination camps, historically speaking, and the US does have concentration camps for migrants and refugees.

          I’d like to know how much of this is a state level decision and how much is federal level. Then I could make a better opinion on the matter.

            So if Texas started exterminating everyone in immigration detention camps you’d absolve Harris of all responsibility.

              You’re literally making up interpretations.

              No I wouldn’t absolve her.

              Besides this is all based on what? Shit that she hasn’t done or that hasn’t happened yet?

              Why are we even debating imaginary scenarios???

              The point is you either vote for Kamala Harris, the least worst of the two major candidates, or if you’re voting for third party or cancelling your vote your just giving it away to Trump. Either that or you’re voting Trump.

              Kamala sure isn’t a fucking angel, but she’s a way better option than Trump as a potential president. And those other topics like the migrant camps and the genocide by Israel, are all shit you can protest and ask for change once she’s in office. With enough pressure, at least she has the chance to change the policies. With Trump that won’t even be an opinion. And judging from your username, you’re the one that might end up in a concentration camp under Trump. So think about that.

                As part of the Biden administration she’s already party to genocide and a crackdown against asylum seekers and tried to help pass a fascist border bill. The fascist agenda against migrants is on the march and she’s just fine with it.

                  What I’m telling you, is if you don’t vote for Harris, you’re basically voting for Trump.

                  How do you think these things are going to turn out under Trump? You think they’ll improve? Under Harris there’s a chance they might with enough pressure from the people. Not under Trump.

                  I don’t know how many times I have to repeat this until it gets through your thick skull.

          So there lining them up and executing them? That’s not what’s happening right now at all.

            So your political disagreement starts and ends with your preference on how to systematically murder people

            Very cool how the ‘left’ party is not entirely made up of and supported by literal nazis

              How the fuck did you even get to that conclusion?

              My god man. What’s wrong with you?

              Seriously, what dots did you connect in your head from the few sentences I wrote???

                Don’t argue with the trolls, just downvote. They’re either too far down the rabbit hole or state sponsored trolls.

                I have zero patience for fucking nazi shit. I have zero patience for people playing fucking stupid to the idea of context. I have zero patience for maudlin outrage mugging.

                If you think you’re innocent of one knock it the fuck off with the others.

          Had they kept quiet instead of trying to justify genocide they might have better chances in future elections, but I think they have lost some voters forever. Whether that will matter or not is yet to be seen, they are betting on winning more former-Republican and former-Trump voters so being pro-genocide might work for them.
