          You’re wasting your breath, it’s no use trying to point out that their choices are quite literally conservative vs conservative+, they don’t care, they don’t want to hear it, facing the truth is too uncomfortable, so they’d much rather just keep their blinkers on and believe that their “team” is really progressive actually and there to protect them, and so they can leave their aspirations for change in their “safe” hands, despite everything in current reality, and history to boot, points to the contrary.

          And they will fight to the death for their right to never consider the bigger picture and posture with their bare minimum efforts as if they’ve at the very least single handily saved the world.

          The irony of how identical their self harming loyalty to their “team” is compared to those they claim to be the complete opposite of would be wildly hilarious if it wasn’t so concerning.

            All true. I kinda suspect they are bots/trolls or something because they post at really weird times of day for North America. Unless they have pathetic social lives, they are probably in Asia or something 🤷 they also cooperate, or post from multiple accounts.

            Moreover, their arguments are a bit circular and cannot go anywhere once they are accused of being OK with genocidal activity. They ignore facts and just focus on trashing the commenter

            No hasbara though

                  That’s unfortunately not the right question for the situation the US is facing.

                  The US election is a binary choice, so there is nothing that matters other than understanding which administration would make the process worse, and doing whatever is needed to keep them out of power.

                    What’s worse than allowing Israel to walk over every “red line” without consequence and then killing children?

              Oh yeah. Forgot. There’s no other issues at play in a country half the world away.

              We (the US) are absolutely complicit in this atrocity. Thing is, we’re good at it and kind of used to it by now. Also, of note, we’re not the ones actively doing the killing. So we can’t vote and fix it. Best we can do is vote for a person who might fix it. Maybe. If every political issue aligns. But first duty is a vote to make sure I can vote again in the future.

                We provide the weapons and financial aid with no strings attached, so we are absolutely complicit

                Harris isn’t going to fix it. She gave Netanyahu the luxury of a private meeting

                “vote to make sure I can vote again in the future”

                lol sorry but I if that’s really what’s coming then I don’t think the Democrats are against it; they would have pulled out all the stops to block Trump from even getting on a ballot.

        They’re suffering from the ML. They know why they should. But more than anything they’re anti west. They’ll hypocritically endorse those doing the exact things they critique the west of. As long as they aren’t perceived as Western.

        Once you understand that. All the nutty self contradictory things make perfect sense.

            You are posting from an ml domain. And regardless of what you posted here I’ve seen you posting elsewhere. It’s not like this is the first time I’ve bumped into you.

            That said. You and I can agree on being anti-Xi. That’s great. But you do realize that he’s no one special. He is a symptom himself. Not the problem himself. Just like Mao Lennon Stalin Etc. Just like Reagan Bush Clinton Reagan Trump Etc adnauseam and on and on and on. Capitalism and leninism / Maoism are the problem. Like I said I’m not a hypocrite. Just a self-deprecating anti authoritarian anarchist.
