    Harris does not believe in or endorse homeless kicking, and she felt sad the whole time she did it, but kicking the homeless was bundled into a compromise border policy bill, so her hands were tied. I mean not literally tied: she was holding a truncheon.

      That’s right, we must not assume that past and current behavior is a predictor of future behavior. We should instead focus on what can be, unburdened by what has been!

        I just love how desperate Russia is to bring the debate back to Palestine at every opportunity.

        Because that’s the most important genocide, not the one in Ukraine with 10x the casualties they caused that somehow ended up with THEM behind invaded.

      Imagine acting like doing nazi shit is so natural and unavoidable that you believe that you can stump the opposition to nazism simply by challenging them to think of a way not to be fucking nazis.

      Do what people in Bolivia did when they organized MAS movement. It’s not like numerous examples of standing up to tyranny don’t exist around the world or anything. Americans are acting just like Germans did when nazis took power. I guess makes sense given that nazis were heavily inspired by the US.

        What part of doing that is mutually exclusive with voting for Harris against project 2025? I’m not going to pretend electoral politics should be the be-all end-all of political participation. Yes, you should organize locally and look for opportunities to support socialist policies and leaders, but given that none of those are on the ballot, you should still use what little power electoral politics give you to try and push the system away from right-wing lunatics who have been very explicit about their plans to make everything socialists complain about significantly worse and to corrupt the democratic systems to try and make it even harder for socialists to take power in the future.

          Organizing on the ground isn’t mutually exclusive with voting. However, voting for a party that is actively engaged in a genocide does expose people as being morally bankrupt.
