    If Harris doesn’t forcefully break from the Biden administration on this genocide now, I fear that she will lose to her fascist opponent. It just cannot get clearer that Biden is ideologically invested in prosecuting these atrocities and appears to be unable or unwilling to bow even a little bit for political expediency. I don’t know if Harris supports the genocide ideologically, and it doesn’t really matter. She is a political opportunist and should wake up to the electoral implications of continuing to bind herself to Biden on this. She is perilously close to not only going down in infamy as one of the historical architects of a genocide, but also the person who lost US democracy.

      Yeah, like if trump wins it will get worse for Gaza and Ukraine but for the privileged non queers, it’s hard to vote for someone continuing the status quo.

      “The expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute fundamental necessity for the United States…” - Tim Walz, Oct 2024

      “As commander-in-chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world,” - Kamala Harris, Aug 2024

      North Korea is destroying roads with border access and the NCD CHUDs think it’s because North Korea is planning to attack the south.

      Africa can’t run away fast enough from IMF debt traps towards less-worse Chinese investment.

      Half the global south is trying to join BRICS instead of align with the US, supposed global force of good.

      Fascists are overwhelmingly winning elections in Europe, and the French liberals officially formed an alliance with the literal fascists rather than give the left any power (power they won in legitimate democratic elections).

      You can’t make this shit up. There’s no USSR to hold up socialism this time, hope y’all have retirement compounds in geologically stable areas like the ultra rich do. Because it’s about to get a lot worse and then humanity ends.

      I’m sure some cute liberal sneer is going to follow this, but that’s the funny thing about leftism being morally and logically correct while liberalism has been proven to be a walking contradiction throughout its entire existence.
