    Saying they are “pro-genocide” is beyond hyperbolic.

    These type of extreme, over the top comments hurt way more than help.

      Hurt what? The tender fee-fee’s of pro-genocide centrists? If they don’t want to be called pro-genocide, they should stop supporting genocide. If they don’t want to be called pro-genocide, they should stand firm on literally any other issue. But they fucking don’t. Everything else is up for negotiation. Everything else is fertile ground for capitulation. Not genocide. That’s the only thing centrists won’t budge on.

        damn right

        Harris could easily at this point make her own platform to run on that includes what the voters are asking for

        her refusal to acknowledge the voters’ concerns is very telling

        Ugh, your just as bad as Trump and MAGA with these childish comments. Please at least try to have an adult conversation, if your “fee-fees” can manage.

        Being “pro-genocide” means they like and want it. That’s not the reality, and if you think she really loves genocide you’re a lost cause.

        And I agree we should fight it, we should stop genocide but right now, which side do you think it’s more open to thatb conversation? Because it’s not the side that wants to removing voting. So I say get her in to office at all costs to protect democracy and then work to fix that.

        I’m just not ready to let the country burn to the ground over this and put us in a situation where we no longer even have a voice to speak out against it. People don’t seem to understand what’s at risk here in the US and the longer term effects it would have. Was in the middle east and Eastern Europe could become the norm.

          there’s always a but.

          right now, which side do you think it’s more open to thatb conversation?

          From what I’ve seen on lemmy, no side is. Of course Republicans are all-in on genocide. Centrist Democrats are openly hostile to the very idea of abandoning support for genocide. Which is why I say that they’re pro-genocide. You clearly have more of a problem with that than you do with the genocide itself. Know how I can tell? there’s no “but” to negate everything before it.

          So I say get her in to office at all costs to protect democracy and then work to fix that.

          I’m already voting for her.

          I’m just not ready to let the country burn to the ground over this

          How many times do you intend to ignore that I’m voting for Harris?

            Yes because nuance exists. We could wipe out life on the entire planet, that would stop genocide. I’m guessing you’re in favor of that then, any means justifys the end huh? Or we could maybe take over and enslave both sides, that could stop genocide. You might say “yah but we just turned them into slaves”, to which I would say “there’s always a but.”

            From what I’ve seen on lemmy, no side is.

            This is pure dishonesty. In our convo alone I’ve said it’s bad and we should work to stop it.

            I’m already voting for her.

            While painting her as a horrible person that no and vote should vote for. Unless your saying people should vote for a pro-genocide candidate now.

            How many times do you intend to ignore that I’m voting for Harris?

            I dunno, when are you going to acknowledge that while you’re still voting for her you can actively turn votes away from her?

              When you acknowledge that “pro-genocide” is a selling point on lemmy.
