No one on lemmy has ever made this argument and as usual this community of redditors in disguise believes in the hopium of a candidate more conservative than Obama will change her mind about genocide.
And that people are just gonna vote for her with that reasoning.

Proceeds to make the same argument.
Jezz this instance really have a censorship issue. You guys are tankies.
How are you being censored?
Pretty sure people are gonna die regardless of which genocidal wacko is elected.
People are going to die no matter what. It'll be different amounts though. One of the two has called for Israel to "finish the job" and constantly talks about how he likes what they're doing. The other condemns it, but is criticized that the administration isn't doing enough, which is fair, but also I know who I'd want to win if I lived in Gaza. I don't think the people there care how good you feel about "keeping your hands clean" and acting morally superior. They want to live, while these people want to play games.
Half the Lemmy population is born in Russia. Other half born in the Soviet Union.
Are we doing 2016 again??
Becuase that worked well for your team haha
Fucked around with bernie, found outnwith trump🤡
Everyone who doesn't support a corporatist duopoly is lazy, dumb, and/or working for the geopolitical rival to my dominant hegemonic country!
One can only wonder why you have not convinced more people with your message and Harris is now losing.
Who else is looking forward to--regardless of the outcome of this election--being told throughout 2025 that it is of vital importance that we get in line with the Democratic party above all else so that we can ensure that the Republican candidate does not win the 2030 election?
It’s like we learned nothing from history:
Democrats constantly coming up against fascism and fumbling the bag is always someone else's fault.
Nader, Howard Dean, ACORN, Citizen's United, the SCOTUS, lazy uniformed voters, radical leftists and tankies, the Internet, the DSA, Russia, 16000 green party voters in a state with 4.5M ballots cast.
Two organizations are never to blame. You can't blame the Democrats, because they are the most hyper-competent data-driven poll-optimized party to ever exist. And you can't blame the Republicans, because they just worked harder to win based on their strong fundamentals and simply convinced more people with their very popular fascist policies.
When Dems win, they have to compromise with Republicans to achieve a bipartisan consensus. When Dems lose, they have to capitulate to the Republicans because that's what the voters asked for.
Paid to fucking lose. I swear to God.
So why has nobody murdered Xi or Putin?
Did the Democrats forget to curb stomp your totalitarian-despots as well??
What was that about it "always being someone else's fault". That's rich, I love your projection. (Pic of you related)
Yeah, because that worked out so well when in 2016 when Trump got elected, the GOP got multiple Supreme Court picks, multiple federal judges were given life terms, and Roe vs Wade got struck down. Let's see how that plays out when Ukraine falls, war breaks out in Europe, America becomes a theocratic dictatorship, and what little progress we may have seen with the environment completely falls apart and the world goes full tilt towards becoming an uninhabitable hellscape. Whatever the protest was about will be utterly meaningless.
If you want to protest, you protest AFTER you get sympathetic ears into office, not after you get the opposition elected. Trump gets in, then suddenly he'll give you plenty to protest about, vs protesting when Harris is in office and she actually has a willingness to listen to protests and meet their demands.
If you want to protest, you protest AFTER you get sympathetic ears into office,
This is exactly why the railroad strike failed lmao.
Even UAW's future strike plan is May 1, 2028, which is strategically a presidential election year, 5 months before the election.
The UAW struck after the railroad strike. And got Biden to personally come down to ask the what he could do to secure their vote. Both happened while Biden was in office. What are you even saying about why the railroad strike failed?
Your "sympathetic ears" are complicit with extermination.
