Is being not-Trump just that impressive these days?

Today? Yes. Come inauguration day? Absolutely fucking not. If Kamala wins I'll talk shit, write letters, donate to causes, protest, and cause trouble from the first day she's in office until the end of primary season 4 years from now. Then I'm back on the train.

Unless we can get rid of FPTP. Then I'm talking shit every day all fucking day long while happily voting for a candidate who agrees with me most instead of the one I disagree with the least.

Why?

Most people in America want to end sales of arms to Israel, don't want to be complicit in genocide.

And Harris is abusing her power by ignoring that to satisfy a few wealthy donors by threatening you all with Trump if you don't let her do what she wants.

The only way to stop abuse of power is to stand up to it. If you let her (or her replacements) just frighten you into submission with bogeymen you might as well give up any hope of progress.

Sorry, I thought you were here asking a reasonable question with my other reply. If I had known you were like this I wouldn't have bothered. Is that why you replied with a single word then edited it instead of spewing your tripe initially?

If "Israel should finish the job" Trump tickles your butthole, just say so.

Yep. So when you thought I was going to play the part of the meek little student at their teacher's knee you were happy to respond, but as soon as it was clear I might actually disagree... Instantly I must be a Trump supporter, because literally the only option you can think of that isn't agreeing with you entirely is 'Trump'.

It's pathetic.

No, you fucking numpty. I thought you were genuinely curious. Understanding someone's motivations doesn't require you to be a good little student, it just requires you to be curious. People ask questions in good faith every day. You weren't curious. Then you were duplicitous about it and try to use gotcha tactics. You made sure to ask then edit after I replied so that it looked like I was engaging with a fucking moron instead of a good faith commenter.

Those are the tactics of the right. Even if you don't support Trump out loud your actions absolutely do. Go ahead and block me because any time I notice you engaging with my comments I'll go ahead and call you a duplicitous fucknugget. That's more engagement than you deserve, but I'll give you that much, you duplicitous fucknugget.
