"The most common sign I saw at the No Kings rallies was the following, “If Kamala was president, we’d all be at brunch.” If you carried that sign, you might as well announce to the crowd you’re a self centered/vapid human being.
Under Harris, we’d still have Palestinians being slaughtered with immunity from Israel. Or, we’d still have thousands on the streets facing homelessness. That sign says none of that matters to you. None.
But I’m not surprised. These people don’t care about Palestinians or the homeless. They just care about getting their team into office, which is de facto getting their faction of the oligarchy into office.
What a stupid sign. "

Why in the ever loving fuck would anyone think Lemmy needs reposted Facebook comments?
I don’t care if it sounds like the most profound and unique commentary on something, it was made on Facebook by someone who is ok with using Facebook in 2025.
If they’re right about something, it’s almost certainly on accident.
mental note to not mention the source next time /s
Ideally you’d just stop using Facebook like rational people did decades ago…
Feel free to post whatever tho, I’m not gonna see anything else to complain aboutit.
Sorry, I have to rant here: Is US American left stupid? Your civil rights are being demolished, your friends, colleagues, comrades are being detained and deported, social services are being dismantled and your fragile democracy is being replaced by dictatorship - but your take is that under Harris Palestinians would have been killed as well. Same difference? You can not tell me with a straight face that the fate of Palestinians would be the same under Trump and Harris.
On the other hand this might just be a coping mechanism: you could have prevented Trump but now have to live with your decision and the reality that he didn’t stop the wars he promised…
You misread the take. It’s a jab at centrist complacency, at the people who would be perfectly happy to sit and let the shit happen so long as the veneer of democracy is still intact. It’s not saying “under Kamala it would be just as bad”, it is saying “these people would be out to brunch and not give a shit about problems if the “lesser evil” was in power”.
You can not tell me with a straight face that the fate of Palestinians would be the same under Trump and Harris.
You’re right, we can’t. Because even though it’s true, BlueMAGA liberals will not acknowledge reality if it goes against the party
Oh Yeah, they’re totally not still being slaughtered now. What an idiotic take lmao. The orange monkey is throwing the USA into chaos and people are still too blind to see it.
Trump has already yanked Israels leash more than Biden did.
I don’t understand why you suddenly bring a different person into this.
Well, try to work that out.
Exactly what I expected lmao.
You don’t know that at all, you’re just coping.
You guys’ efforts got Trump elected. I know it’s hard.
You don’t know that at all, you’re just coping.
I mean, it’s literally what the sign says, right?
The “Under Harris…” part
As if Harris was president all issues would stop exists that you longer need to protest. I am not alluding that Trump is better
Well, she did say that she would have done nothing different than under Biden. She literally said so.
So you have the candidate saying she’d continue the policies under which Palestinians were slaughtered with immunity from Israel and thousands faced homelessness on the streets.
And you have some voters of that candidate saying that they would not be protesting such policies because they would be at brunch.
I mean, who exactly are you defending here?
Plus, obviously OBVIOUSLY, this is a jab at centrist complacency and an exposition that these people would NOT be interested in holding the least bad candidate’s feet to the fire. So what exactly are you actually reacting against?
Harris threw the election because she was unwilling to hold Israel accountable. It was plain as day how it was going to turn out if she didn’t change course, and it was infuriating to watch the train wreck unfold in real-time.
Yes, I still voted for Harris for the sake of my fellow Americans, but lots of potential voters stayed home.
