Not sure why lemmy liberals are assuming Harris and Biden are secretly against Israel, it’s going to be a big disappointment for you all if the Democrats win again and nothing changes.
It’s called Stockholm Syndrome: people without options often end up genuinelly believing that the guy who tortures them only twice a week rather than daily is “deep down a good guy” and even “is our friend”.
I agree with her there. Hamas is a terrorist organization and they are pieces of shit too. They’re no longer “freedom fighters” as soon as they are killing unarmed women and children.
Dude, setting aside what we think of Hamas, I wasn’t talking about Hamas, I was talking about people in America protesting against genocide being branded as terrorist sympathizers.
Are you not aware that the specific protestors she was responding to were actually flying Hamas flag and spray painting pro-Hamas messages on statues and things. It was bad.
Aside from the fact that she’s clearly using it as an opportunity to make it look like the entire protest (and perhaps all pro-Palestine protest) took such a tact
pro-Hamas messages
If you mean “From the river to the sea” I swear to God
That’s interesting. I clearly hadn’t been giving those protestors enough credit, but the corollary of that is that Kamala, while an absolute zionist bastard, was still generalizing but not nearly as aggressively as I thought (there are definitely a bunch of triangles). I underestimated the ability of westerners to cut through zionist concern-trolling, even if not all present can.

When you’re voting in a one-party system with two right wings, nothing changing is the expected outsome.
I think Harris knows what’s up. But she also knows that she has to play the game.

She “knows what’s up,” and has self-consciously chosen to side with genocide, branding all of its opponents terrorists or terrorist sympathizers.

No, I mean “Hamas is coming”…
