“We see it now: The hate has shifted to the trans community,” Walz said. “They see that as an opportunity. If you’re watching any sporting events right now, you see that Donald Trump’s closing arguments are to demonize a group of people for being who they are.”

“We’re out there trying to make the case that access to healthcare, a clean environment, manufacturing jobs, and keeping your local hospital open are what people are really concerned about,” he continued. “They’re running millions of dollars of ads demonizing folks who are just trying to live their lives.”

      And alienate a large part of their voting base weeks before the election? Yeah… No.

      I will wait for after they win before criticizing their Gaza plans. But until then, there are only two choices, and one of them has said that Biden is too hard on Netanyahu…

        Pro-genocide centrists are a valued constituency while anti-genocide progressives are not. You can tell by who the party listens to and who the party demands “blue no matter who” from.

              If you can’t make the basic choice to support the candidates that stand up against full-blown Fascism in this country, you are an inhibitor to progress. Defeating Trump is a battle we must win if we’re going to win the proverbial war.

              Anyone campaigning against Harris or Walz right now is campaigning for Trump. Anyone campaigning for Trump should know that he’ll happily let Israel wipe Palestine off the map entirely. Don’t even fucking pretend you’re “anti-genocide”. There’s only one candidate that could actually deescalate this conflict, and if you’re going to fight back against them or blame them for this conflict, you’re a bad faith actor who has absolutely zero interest in real world outcomes for the victims of this Genocide you prop your narrative up with.

              Palestinian groups are backing Harris/Walz. Privileged American “leftists” are playing the same stupid purity game they play every 4 years, with zero regard to the real human lives on the line.

                I’m voting for Harris. Keep ignoring it because you want to keep supporting genocide.

          Oh hey another username I keep seeing… Either you gotta start making new ones more often, or you need more than a couple people to manage all of these sockpuppet accounts.

          And… tagged.

          Good luck I guess…

            Wut? I’m a human. Why the fuck wooluld you think that just because I’m opposed to genocide that I must be a bot

          Unfortunately most Americans don’t even see this as genocide and see anything less than full support of Israel as a negative. Then of course there’s the huge bloc of hardcore Christians that think what Israel is doing is going to bring Jesus back. I imagine most of them are voting Republican anyway though.

            That’s absolutely not true. Most US Americans may not see it as genocide, but most are opposed to sending weapons to gaza

            Let’s be real. Most US Americans are ambivalent. Most are neither Zionist nor antizionist. But most do not support Israel.

      Walz, Appealing to Muslim Voters, Says War in Gaza ‘Must End Now’

      Walz says Gaza demonstrators are protesting for ‘all the right reasons’ while condemning Hamas

      So late into the elections you wont get anything better than this with anything short of armed revolution. So I find it hard to understand what is your end game. If you keep going this path you will end up with this guy

          Zionist or not, one side is hoping for an end to the killing while the other side wants to give Israel free reign to go about genocide. There is a real difference here. I’m sure you would agree with me that Biden has been too soft on Netanyahu, and Trump is saying he’s being too hard on him.

                  Which candidate aside from Harris and Trump, has a good chance of being president in January? Let’s hear their name.

                  Because on my ballot, it was Harris, Trump and RFK, Jr. Who isn’t even running anymore.

                    They don’t have answers to your question. They want a full on revolution and are to ignorant to realize that isn’t ever happening. They whine like petulant children instead of playing the stupid game we all have to play, never putting effort in to actually change the game, because iiiits too haaaard…boohoo.

                  I understand you’re upset. And I am too. But we need to focus on viability right now. Otherwise, the United States will descend into total fascism and true Zionists will have the upper hand.

                    when your grandchildren ask what you did about the Gazan genocide and you tell them you voted for Harris, they’ll be very upset and tell you that you have blood on your hands.

      A true Zionist would want the result that gives Israel the most freedom to act as it wishes. Given that a trump victory would enable this, I can only assume that you yourself are a zionist.
