    Me, five months ago:

    If Harris wins, the Democratic base will continue to sleep. You can do anything when the Dems are in the WH. It was under Trump that protesters shut down airport terminals, but under Biden the base sleeps regarding immigration & asylum. That’s what Glenn Greenwald and I learned from the GWB to Obama transition: the Dems sleep when their team is in office. Greenwald “changed” from hero to villain without changing the least bit; the only difference was who was in office. Unlike the Dem-aligned media, he didn’t go to sleep.

    You can war as much as you want. You can run a fucking star chamber. You can stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody.

    If Harris is the harm reduction candidate, who for?

      I’m seeing a lot of examples of liberals holding up the latest atrocities to go “haha, we told you Trump would be worse! I hope you enjoy Gaza being turned into a parking lot!”, and then it’s just exactly the same thing that was happening under Biden, they just didn’t acknowledge it then.

        And the fucking glee with which they celebrate genocide as penance for not voting blue no matter who. The Palestinian people aren’t your fucking plaything.

          It would appear that the Palestinian people are the Israelis playthings though lol
