    Im not even on hexbear but i see it fairly often. Im also not american so maybe that gives me some different perspective, but do you really not get it or are you just being obtuse? Kamala and biden are actively supporting a genocide, and thats not even hyperbole. Theyre sending billions of dollars of weapons. Its not like they just wont publicly condemn israel, theyre explicitly and outright supporting them. Say that trump would be worse all you want, but the nazi association seems obvious when you considee that theyre actively supplying weapons to a genocidal regime.

      Oh, you have an answer? Perfect! What should we do instead of voting for Harris?

        You should be conditioning your vote to Harris to the Dems stopping the genocide. If you think the USA is a democratic country, then a critical mass of anti-genocide voters should be enough to sway Kamala out of supporting genocide. If you don’t believe so, then you’re essentially saying that the two-party system is completely undemocratic, and you should start organising against it immediately.

            “everyone who doesn’t vote for Harris during an ongoing genocide under her administration as vice-president is either a trump supporter or a Russian bot”

            God, you guys are pathetic. You asked for a solution, I gave you one, you just don’t wanna listen, you’re truly Blue MAGA

              Organize against the two party system a month before an extremely consequential and close presidential election. Sure. If you’re not a Russian bot then you’re a useful idiot.

                “a month before the election”

                The escalation in Gaza by Israel is one year ago, we’ve been saying this for a year…

        I probably would vote for her. But i also wouldnt attack people raising legitimate concerns, and i would try to put as much fucking pressure on the democratic party to stop fucking around as i could, which means not unconditionally supporting them no matter what they do.

          I get it, but stop pretending that Trump wouldn’t be so much worse. Trump has literally said he would give Isreal carte blanche.

          That is your alternative. Voting 3rd party is just going to help Trump since he has never won the popular vote.

            If you vote, I say raise your standards and vote for a third party.

            Do not reward those that are for another genocide and for more forever wars.

              Which third party? The most successful third party in the US is the Libertarian Party, and they want capitalism to become the worst version of itself. The next most successful are the Greens, who have a candidate that’s fine taking dinner invitations with Putin and Michael Flynn, and believes in the power of healing crystals. After that, we’re getting into parties that are so small and poorly organized that they’re not worth talking about.

              By suggesting people vote for a third party, all you’re doing is betraying the fact that you don’t understand (or, perhaps, are intentionally misrepresenting) the realities of the American electoral system

          If you’re not just taking the piss, you should really know that Hexbear absolutely does not deserve the benefit of the doubt in hearing out their arguments. There is always a punchline in the form the shittiest take imaginable.
