    That’s a bummer because progressives couldn’t be bothered to stop an erasure of minorities and lgbt alongside a subjugation of women.

    Quite simply, either you align with them or you can get fucked.

    At least that’s how it’s currently playing out.

        Shortsighted progressives decided that people they dont know halfway around the world were more important than their friends and family.

        Hope you can tell your wife/ girlfriend /sister you had the moral high ground when she’s declared property.

            The DNC was most certainly not going to change their positions on the thing mentioned. Im not naive enough to believe abstaining or voting 3rd party would actively change anything for the better.

            In fact, doing those things absolutely made things worse.

            Again, congrats or your moral high ground. I hope youre lgbt friends are stoked lol

            A: “Hey, why didnt you help to stop the rising tide of erasure in the United States?”

            B: “People halfway around the world are more important to me than you are.”

              You’ll note how you failed to even remotely answer the question i posed everyone:

              what prevented harris from shifting positions on gaza if it could have won her the election?

              Everything else in your post is the same nonsense you dweebs have been spewing for months.

              The DNC was most certainly not going to change their positions on the thing mentioned.

              Again why

                It doesn’t matter why, and frankly, it’s weird that you think i have inside knowledge of the DNC policy choices.

                That was their policy choice, and they stuck to it.

                I get it, genocide is absolutely terrible, and it shouldn’t be happening anywhere.

                You decided that genocide of palestinian people is worse than the genocide of lgbt and minorities and the subgjugation of women in the United States.

                The real question is: why did you decide that people you dont know were more important than people you do know?

                I know what i chose. I chose to support the people around me - the people i love and care about.

                You chose strangers over the people you care about.

                I hope you can look at your lgbt friends and the women you care about in the face and tell them you care about them less than people you dont even fucking know.

                You chose the worst of the options.

                And weirdly enough, you are happy about it.

                And this entire statement doesnt even bring into account that you essentially chose the option that will crank the wheel of genocide (you know, that thing you supposedly hate?) even further.

                    Lol.

                    Just do what you must to justify your support of the increase of genocide.

                    You chose this. Buckle up.

                    Just remember to tell the women you love you took the moral high ground, everything will be ok and you can go to the wall knowing you did everything you could.

                    Naive people really dont understand the externalities of their own actions.

        “But mom! I got a gun for self defense, how was i supposed to know that you’d be declared property even though they were screaming it at the top of their lungs?”

          Its awesome that my post got removed because they can’t admit that they were DEAD WRONG TO HAVE BEEN CENSORING THOSE CALLING FOR ARMING UP FOR SELF-DEFENSE.

          FUCK YOU, MODS

            Arming for self defense wont matter when the women in your life aren’t legally allowed to have a bank account.

            It will be death by a thousand cuts, but at least you’ll have your guns?

                It means your guns won’t do shit when the law decides your mom is declared property.

                The guns won’t change anything because the people making those laws not only have guns but also have the police, the legislative, the judiciary, the military and the executive branch.

                Good luck fighting an apc full of military-decked police officers with your ar 15.

                  Classic lib response, and still ignorant as fuck. On top of that it’s a classic case of pre-emptive compliance. See you in the boxcar.

                    Its wild to me how many people think they can stand against a military industrial complex funded to the tune of trillions of dollars.

                    But hey, you can larp and pretend your 9mm is gonna save you.
