So their own membership in the group you spoke for doesn’t matter to the question of weather it’s acceptable to oppose a genocide when faced with violence against oneself?

That’s pretty absurd.

It’s also pretty absurd to imply that a trans person is transphobic because they oppose genocide.

If the democrats need my vote then they can adopt the platforms and policies I vote for.

Simple as.

I swear to god it really seems like you’re doing the most insane mental gymnastics to justify voting for a genocide.

Did you see the piece of paper with their name and the date?

If so do you see what you’ve done? You’ve accepted a priori your assessment that they’re an astroturfing Russian bot and dismissed evidence to the contrary.

What would prove to you that there’s a real person who is who they say they are on the other side?

So if the democrats will always choose to shift to the right as opposed to the left then how is the left spoiling anything?

What you’re suggesting is that the American left should follow the democrats to the right. How’s that worked out in the past?

My psl vote doesn’t help trump win. I know that because it doesn’t get counted for trump.

I would not have voted for the democrats.

I havent voted for a democrat at the national level after Obama 08.

If there was any indication that Harris would have a different policy on Gaza than the Biden administration she’d have a good opportunity to break my streak.

It would probably be a good idea not to make an argument about morality that tries to condemn voting for a candidate opposed to genocide.

I’ve seen a lot of strategic arguments for Harris, but never a moral one.

If the democrats lose because of the spoiler effect you describe, do you think they’ll try to take on the positions of the party that they “lost” the most votes to?

Spoiler effect is fake and made up, but for the purposes of your belief that it’s real, will one or the other major party try to court third party voters in the case that they believe themselves to have been harmed by it?

Oh hey! Nice to see you!

Psl is on the ballot in 20 states, you’re right, and it would be 22 if they weren’t pushed off or invalidated in Georgia and Pennsylvania.

But they’re allowed write in candidates in 23 states and that gives them a possible 464 electoral votes. More than enough to win!

Write in ballots are counted. I know because I’ve worked elections and seen the process where they’re added to a tally.

I will take an inexperienced candidate over one in favor of genocide any day.

De la Cruz has made a commitment to end the genocide which is a fundamental part of the psl platform in 2024 and has a plan to use executive power to end the genocide. Even if I wasn’t a booster of psl already that would go a long way towards earning my vote.

To anyone reading this: feel free to congratulate me, because I just earned your attention!

Are you accusing them of being a bot or suggesting they’re not trans here?

It kinda seems like you’re suggesting that they’re either not human or not trans there at the end.

The only other way I can read it is you calling them liberal as a pejorative (which is a great own to commies by the way) but it’s hard to assume that’s the intent.

Psl is literally a revolutionary party.

It doesn’t get more fundamental than that.

As long as you don’t live in Alaska, Nevada, Montana, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia or Pennsylvania you can signal for psl when you vote!
