genuinely asking this so i can educate myself more:
what is the desired realistic outcome of this years presidential election?
collapse of the US empire
the essential component for comparing this conflict to the Holocaust for you is whether or not there are concentration camps is hilarious
where do y’all get off w this s***
Also they literally have concentration camps
Israel has a process of “administrative detention” where they can hold Palestinians in a camp for 6 months with no charges. At the end of the 6 months they can renew it for another 6 months no questions asked. Out of those camps we see deliberate displays of torture, rape, and extrajudicial killing.
Those are concentration camps
it doesn't matter. both candidates will try to destroy palestine and most Americans already dont vote.
every little win against fascism makes a difference for the atm very uncertain world peace.
subscribing to nihilism rn as an anti-fascist just makes it an easy win for them. yes there's a lot of work still undone but especially these little symbolic wins are important rn.
yes even the dems are a bit but it's just on a completely uncomparable level with republican campaign goals
:/
okay i guess
Get organized. Does your city have a tenants union or an anti imperialist coalition? Are you working to build independent organs of working class political power? Are people participating in civil disobedience or other forms of disruption? If not, talk to your neighbors and get something started. Politics are bigger than voting once every four years

an ongoing palestinian genocide is not a "win against fascism". sorry but youre just yapping, the democratic party supports fascism. it is a social-fascist organization. it does not dismantle white supremacy at home and in fact actively encourages it (see: the border crisis, racist cop killings in DNC controlled cities, dogwhistles against migrants, etc.) it sends weapons and money to fascists abroad -- whether its israel, ukraine, saudi arabia, or the various islamofascist paramilitary groups across the middle east and central asia. what do you call that?
the only "nihilist" here is you, since you've reduced yourself to "symbolic" "wins" and have completely shut out any possibility of real revolutionary change.
I’m not voting but I’m in a blue state
I never really understand why this distinction matters. It doesn’t matter what state you’re in, an election won’t be decided by one vote.

I’m not too sure, my knowledge in politics is terrible tbh. I hear people say a vote in a swing state is worth more than a vote in a red/blue state but aren’t most of those big states worth more percentage wise in the polls? It feels like it all balances but I could be wrong

Just vote goofy. The data is important.
Is Trump pro-Palestine?
Edit: "If we don't win this election. Israel, in a period of two to three years, will cease to exist. It will be wiped out," Trump declared on Thursday night.
I guess not.
Just vote goofy. The data is important.
I’m from Illinois bro there’s only one outcome it’ll be here. Also I don’t keep up with politics like maybe I should.
I’ve never voted, which I know is kinda privileged and ignorant but if I’m not knowledgeable about the candidates stances it might be best I don’t vote
Lmao
He right tho the data is important
More votes for Jill Stein sends a message to Dems that genocide is a red line

Who’s listening that hasn’t already heard our calls for an end?

I dont support either but your “better for world peace” justification is funny bc Trump is anti-war and is so confident about ending the Ukraine war that he promised to do it as the elect, nor do you know how he’d approach Israel differently meanwhile you’re currently seeing the playbook of the side you like and getting a ceasefire now would actually help her campaign if she wanted to
And according to Tulsi Gabbard a (former) Democrat not me, Kamala is the type of person who would do something rash just to show her assertiveness with other countries doubting it as opposed to Trump who they already fear and is less controlled in his willingness challenge old deals/alliances to negotiate his way, kinda like the one we have with Israel
Even if Trump came out and said he’s pro Palestine and pro-choice and had a great economic plan I believe people would still rationalize their vote for Kamala

Trump being anti-war is just a bit for magacoms to run with you’re not actually supposed to buy into it
