    Foreign policy is bipartisan. I understand the idea of harm reduction for domestic issues even if I’m skeptical considering democrats had already thrown trans people under the bus. It’s possible that the democrats wouldn’t have kidnapped Maduro, but they’d gleefully support the killing of over half a million people worldwide due to illegal sanctions, and they’d definitely have bomb places regardless (look at Obama). Hell, Obama and Biden increased ICE funding and created the conditions for Trump. So sure, vote for the lesser evil, but don’t pretend foreigners ever mattered to them, especially those of us living here in our countries where our democratically elected politicians sometimes disagree with your ghouls in chief and then we get collective punishment for it.

    As for Bernie Sanders, he’s still a Zionist, he has repeatedly endorsed sending more money to Israel and he betrayed the people who voted him when he pretended he cared about Palestinians, going as far as refusing to call the genocide what it was and constantly blaming Hamas which helps manufacture consent for the complete extermination of the Palestinian people. So fuck him.

        Not worse, but still bad on trans people, considering Harris campaigned on “obeying the law” and letting states discriminate trans people if they wanted to. Trump is obviously worse.

          I don’t recall this at all.

          finding common ground is the first step.

              it’ll be a lot easier to hold them accountable than expecting ANYTHING but unending 24/7 hellscape under a conservative regime.

              letting conservatives drive the bus is madness.

              Do not go gentle into that good night.

        It was a state move, not a federal one. Do you think the spineless dems would have stood up to states doing fascist shit? Because history shows they sure as fuck wouldn’t. They would have told us to vote harder for their very progressive AIPAC funded “unlimited genocide on the Palestinians” senate candidate, who would get in and then immediately capitluate in the name of bipartisanship. I don’t know how many more times you need to see this play out.

            5 day work week, voting rights act, civil rights act

            You can thank communist, anarchist and suffragette violence for that. Democrats were sending in cops, Pinkertons and the FBI to kill the people fighting for justice. But don’t let facts stop you from jacking yourself silly

            Free Palestine.
