After Biden’s meltdown, the Democrats are hoping to reenergize people with a supposedly “progressive” pick for Kamala Harris’ running mate.

    Nice attack ad. Love how that url has nothing to show about these claims but instead just pushes someone else in your face who literally has zero chance of anything.

      The links are to the PSL presidential campaign, which shouldn’t be too surprising from a domain called votesocialist2024. The poster is meant to be agitational, to make you think critically.

      These claims are all either sourced in the poster or easily verifiable public record. Walz famously cracked down on the George Floyd protests. As in, in the city(ies) where Chauvin killed him. His record includes those vetoes. And it should really be no surprise to anyone that the Democratic ticket is Zionist, the party line is support for Israel and its genocide. The only national-level Dem that consistently voices opposition is Tlaib.

        No, it’s FUD. It’s purely to make you think negatively about walz. There’s no “critical thinking” involved here.

        But I’ll take whatever flaws he has over socialism. Tankies can get wrecked.

      Well, you are correct, in a way. The Harris/Walz ticket has a very large chance to commit genocide if elected. That’s something that Claudia & Karina have zero chance of doing.

      You should be proud!

          Growing up I was told genocide was the most serious crime and we must ensure it never happens again.

          Now liberals are trying to do lesser-evil genocide.

          Personally, I think we should actually materially oppose it based on consistent principles. Perhaps liberals feel that Trump gives them the green light to be open, bloodthirsty genociders? I’m glad I don’t associate with them anymore.

            I don’t “side” with anyone. Genocide is bad. I’m still going to do what I have to for avoiding making everything exceptionally worse by further enabling obviously more psychotic behavior, until such time as a better realistic solution is made available.

              I don’t “side” with anyone.

              When Kamala was criticized for her Zionism during an ongoing genocide, your only reply was to insult the critic and go, “what about Trump?” Deflections like this are very common when someone doesn’t want to address a topic. Why don’t you want to address the topic of Kamala being a genocide supporter?

              Genocide is bad.

              Then why did you deflect when a public figure was criticized for supporting it? Wouldn’t the consistent thing to do be saying, “yeah you’re right”?

              I’m still going to do what I have to for avoiding making everything exceptionally worse by further enabling obviously more psychotic behavior, until such time as a better realistic solution is made available.

              So you are confirming exactly what I just said in my last comment. Lesser evilism support for genocide while telling yourself it isn’t. But when people who actually materially oppose it criticized the genocide-supporting candidate you’ve decided to support in the last two weeks, you deflected and insulted them.

              “Never again” except when it disagrees with vote shaming lesser evilism, eh?

                Quick hint, I never said Kamala good or that I’d vote for her.

                I am only being against Trump in my comments. You read in what you like. I’m just sick of the twats deciding to vote for Trump as some protest over Kamala/Biden Etc and was calling out the shit attack ad for what it was.

                Insult wasn’t deflecting, I did address the topic. Genocide bad, m’kay? The insult can stand alone if the person addressed to was going to vote Trump.
