What the fuck conversation are YOU responding to? Cause it's sure as hell not the one you posted in.
The only thing they said is "Trump is worse than Biden." You yourself agreed with that. So why are you demonising them for things they haven't said?
Honestly, the fact you're reacting so strongly to a post calling Trump worse than Biden by saying "liberals coming here to do their pissy whataboutism" makes you sound like a Trump supporter trying to take shots at the other side without even realising that Biden ISN'T EVEN RUNNING.
You're totally right, nothing sounds more like support for "finish the job" trump than saying our president shouldn't turn Palestinian children into skeletons
Ig that commenter wasn't really doing whataboutism, the article wasn't about people protesting the genocide, sorry to that person for any aggression. Fuck tons of liberals (at least the ones I've seen commenting on .world) have the idea that wanting Biden to stop sending weapons that are being used for war crimes means you want trump in office, I shouldn't have assumed that of them
Free palestine. 🇵🇸
Also just unbelievably fucking tired of liberals strawmanning leftists like op. No, nobody thinks trump would be better for Palestinians besides people who don't follow American politics and don't vote. No, protesting the genocide in Gaza doesn't make you a russian asset. Yes, I'm voting Harris. Seeing liberals project their lack of shits given about genocide onto leftists really pisses me off, especially with the classic liberal "holier than thou" smug superiority complex they almost always have
Free palestine. 🇵🇸
Once again, what the fuck conversation are you responding to? If you don't disagree with what they said, that Trump is worse than Biden, why are you spending so much time arguing with them? Please note that they never said Biden was GOOD, just that Trump was WORSE.
So, aside from the people who think that, nobody thinks that? Helpful. Do you think they're maybe not voting because they think Trump can't be any worse?
Please fuck off with your strawmanning OP into a person saying things they definitely didn't say. Fuck off with your false assertion that we criticise Trump because we love Biden. Fuck off with your "I'm not a russian spy" assertion when nobody ever called you one. Fuck off with your constant smug spamming of the Palestinian flag as if we aren't on the same fucking side.
You're not just preaching to the choir, you're calling the choir blasphemers and heretics. If you're going to respond to someone, please respond to what they said, and not what you think they could have said.
He's a Trump supporter arguing in bad faith, stop engaging with him, it won't lead to anything good.
Yeah, he definitely looks like someone trying to splinter the left to weaken support, then adding "I'm voting Harris" and "Free Palestine" in the way some republicans say "as a black man..."
The conversation anyone who is pro Palestine is having 24/7. From Kamala's "I'm speaking", through actions of Biden and press releases by Trump. You are reacting as if none of what OP said ever happens. You are acting like "Trump is worse!" Isn't immediately followed by "vote Kamala" as if she somehow will solve the problem. Just because one candidate sucks, doesn't mean you can't criticize the other for doing the same shit. You keep going "fuck off with X" (which is a shitty thing to do btw) and basically telling them to shut up, stay silent and not bother you / not speak out. You are the exact problem OP is responding to. And then you say "I'm on your side".
Cool. It's not happening here. You're having this conversation non-stop because you keep forcing this conversation when nobody's even talking. Why does the statement "Trump is bad" have to be followed by "Biden is also bad"? Those are two different conversations.
Will voting Harris fix the problem? Probably not. Will not voting Harris make things worse? Yes. Do you want things to be worse, or do you want to vote Harris? Just because she's imperfect doesn't change that.
It's a shitty thing to strawman someone to condemn them for things they haven't said. Telling someone not to do a shit thing is not a shit thing.
I am pro-Palestine, anti-Trump, and I think American politics is too right-wing overall. I just don't think "Biden is causing a genocide" is a good response to "Trump would actively make things worse."
Most of the second reply wasn't even aimed at op tf are you getting mad about xD it was just a general complaint about shitlibs who strawman leftists, and that's what op did. They didn't do all the shit I complained about, but they act like there's this huge contingent of people voting for trump bc biden is bad about palestine without actually showing it at all, because it's not a thing. Again, tired of people like you and op acting like anyone not 100% in line with democrats 100% of the time is a nazi, especially when that accusation is hurled at people ACTIVELY PROTESTING GENOCIDE
(edited to add a little bit)
Free Palestine. 🇵🇸
Please respond to what people say and not what they could have said. Don't respond to phantoms who aren't in the room.
You don't need to think someone is perfect to think someone else is worse. There are lots of people so disillusioned by the left that they don't vote at all, thus allowing the right to come into power, and they need a wake-up call that, yes, things can get worse.
You are protesting genocide in a pro-Palestinian forum, directed as people who are also pro-Palestine, responding to someone saying "let's not make Palestine worse." You're not a nazi (and I never said you were), you're just useless.
You're whining about absolutely nothing my guy. I already apologized for putting words in op's mouth, and for that, I got you putting words in my mouth. At this point all I'm saying about op is they're strawmanning leftists, which is true. Please, fuck off with your strawman bullshit :3
From the river to the sea 🇵🇸
Yea no shit op didn't say pro palestinian protestors are nazis, maybe you could pick up from context that that specific line wasn't about them rather than trying to spin my words into something they're not? Thank you :3
Free Palestine. 🇵🇸
What the heck is the point here? You figuratively walked in the room, shit on the floor, then yelled at everyone asking why it smells
