And look! Here’s one now!
The PSL is a trash option. It has a barely above zero chance to successfully scratch its own ass let alone become a viable candidate. And in the event that they accidentally manage to get themselves elected, all their batshit promises they’ve made will never see the light of day because they don’t actually work when pressed against reality.
And reality is where we live.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO SPOIL THE ELECTION.
They are not here in good faith.
One batshit promise that a president de la Cruz could make good on is not supplying weapons to israel by executive order, conditioning non military aid on a ceasefire and halting aid approved by congress due to its illegality under international and domestic law using the power of the justice department.
Harris could make good on that too, but Harris is in favor of the genocide so she won’t.
Yeah, good thing I'm not a single-issue voter with a vote to waste.
Sounds awesome. Good luck with that. 👍
It is absolutely a bat shit promise. She has no clue how politics work to even suggest that she could do that. This is why no one is taking you or her seriously. She’s a nobody with about as much experience as she has a chance to win. Which is ZERO
It seems to me and from the responses you get, that from others, that you aren’t here in good faith. You’re obviously pushing a spoiler candidate. And you know it. So, having said that- it’s fair to think that you and those like you will probably vanish soon after the election.
It’s also fair to think that no one here will have a problem with this.
I agree with you though that I probably won’t be posting in the political memes community after the elections.
I browse by active/all and aside from the predictable ones blaming a Harris loss on the left I don’t think the community really interests me.
The only reason you see me here now is because in active/all there are a bunch of posts blaming me and people like me for the democrats failings or shaming us or our votes.
Once that goes away I probably will too.
And you’re right that people will probably be happy about it. No one likes to be confronted with the irrefutable fact that they are supporting genocide.
That really bugs me. This whole presidential election cycle has been pretty scary to be honest. I can’t imagine a scenario where Harris wins and her party decides to abandon the deportations, war, protest suppression, border wall and genocide that got them there.
So you admit to being a troll. Finally! It’s good for people to see you admit your purpose here.
I’m almost 100% sure that seeing something making fun of you and popping in to say “hey wait a minute!” Isn’t anyone’s definition of trolling.
How did you come to the conclusion that I’m a troll?
Your words.
That’s very funny.
But if youre not trolling and you actually think that I’m trolling on a .world comm it’s probably a good idea to have more than pithy replies.
If you really think I’m trolling when I scroll down through active/all, see something that I’m the subject of and reply then you should be reporting me and not making snarky comments.
Especially when I engage with the things you say directly.
It makes you seem like the person acting in bad faith when you do that. It makes you seem like the unserious troll.
I’ve got to be mistaken though, right?
What stops the president from not sending weapons to israel by executive order? What stops the president from conditioning aid or stepping in when congress tries to send weapons to aid a genocide in contravention of domestic and international law?
We know what stops Biden and what would stop Harris: they support the genocide.
Rather than waving your hands and saying “politics”, why not examine why a president in the party opposite the democrats was able to stop israel almost 45 years ago.
The democrats of today seem to be to the right of Reagan in this matter.
