Islamophobia is undoubtedly extremely normalized in today's fascist america.

but it's never a good idea to play the "only minority they can say this about" card. it shows that you havent been paying attention to the struggles of others in your coalition.

it's so telling that liberals are more upset by like three hospital bomb droppers being killed than the hundreds of children and civilians killed. who is allowed to be human in war? not Iranians.

Even if Platner isn’t an antisemite (he absolutely is), if your judgement is so fucking bad that you REGULARLY do an antisemitic whoopsie because it has never occurred to you to just fucking look something up then you ARE NOT FIT FOR OFFICE.

Could Ken Martin also mourn the hundred some odd little girls our tax dollars murdered by bombing the shit out of them?

when we say Dems are the same, we definitely mean in bipartisan support for imperialism and bloodthirst of bombing the shit out of civilians

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

tent big enough for fascists, but too small for Palestinians and trans people

every single one of you who has supported Trump attacking Iran has the blood of Iranian trans women on your hands. You are ghouls who deserve nothing for selling your souls.

...once again.

i. voted. for. harris.

"this bad thing will happen if she doesnt change her strategy" =/= "i want this bad thing to happen"

muted. goodbye.

i *continue* to never have said she was the same as trump. in fact i started this whole conversation off by comparing trump to a cockroach.

you arent listening to me and you are arguing with a figment of your imagination. muted.

if my arguments are bad, it should make it *easier* for you to argue against me. instead, you are arguing against something else entirely.

i wish it wasnt true, but it is undeniable that americans prefer full-flavor fascism over fascism lite.

marketing yourself as fascism lite isnt a winning strategy.

"...arent a real problem you racist freak. by demonizing them, you are harming not only immigrants but the country as a whole."

but did she say that? no. she said she would be a more effective deporter. she validated his racist framing.

im not saying she was no better. how hard is it to listen to me and actually argue against what i *am* saying?

im saying that while she wasnt as bad as trump, she failed to meaningfully challenge his framing of issues. example: instead of saying "undocumented immigrants arent a real problem.. 1/?

...no, im saying the exterminators *should* have been fighting fascism. and that they werent.

instead, they calling for "the most lethal military". and they were marketing themselves as the more efficient deporters. they were sending military aid to genociders.

believe me, i have enough anger to go around.

and you are aware that we are talking about what was happening during the election? did you forget that?

you are aware that during the election, biden and harris were in office? right?

i voted for harris.

but that's never enough for yall, we *also* have to refrain from ever criticizing the DNC, huh?

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

An unpopular take: people who thought Trump would be a peace candidate were dumb and wrong, but Kamala and the Dems marketed themselves as a hawkish party and refused to stop a genocide.

did you miss the first part of the statement you are responding to

democrats aplauded STANDING when trump urged an attack on iran during state of the union. this last week.

are you not embarrassed of how this conversation has gone for you?

the person you are replying to was talking about Ilhan Omar, which is why everyone assumed you were talking about her.

i hope you are talking about nancy mace.

People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

It’s wrong to vaporize school children even if Congress votes to approve it.
