Tell me again how both sides are the same?
- That's why I'm voting for Jizz Stein hur hur!
  
  Same here, because when everybody is against us, and don''t give a fuck about Palestinian genocide, I can't vote for Harris who is only partially on our side.
  My logic is flawless. I will now go ahead and shoot my other foot.
  
  Yeah she made a PLEDGE to stop war in Palestine!
- Well, both sides want to end the genocide. One by gently asking Israel to negotiate a ceasefire, the other by urging Israel to finish the job.
- When one of those sides completely defunded UNRWA they are the same, When one of those sides keeps providing weapons and money to slaughter Palestinians, they are the same. When Biden and Harris are providing those weapons and money to Israel they are allowing Netanyahu to 'finish the job'
  
  Lol you have to preemptively use Donald's quote because you know which party is worse and don't want your campaigning on Donald's behalf to get interrupted with facts or anything of the sort. The topic of the article is what you want to happen. Monstrous.
- I mean, Israel is in the process of annexing the West Bank right now, I don't see the Biden administration doing anything about it.
  
  You can't possibly be serious...

  You can say it's not enough if you want, but you can't say it's nothing. Certainly gets Netanyahu upset at least.
  
  Cool, so now you see that voting for Harris is a nod to either the same hand-wringing action that we're seeing now. In fact, the hand-wringing is doing a little bit better than nothing right now (not by much, admittedly). Trump's guy just said he wants the genocide to go faster. Now, I want you to apply the principles of harm reduction to this scenario. Which option is harm reduction?
"Both sides"-ers in shambles
- Doubt it. They seem pretty comfortable swimming in wilful ignorance.
  
  I agree with you but pedantically that seems to imply they are still ignorant of the reality. I don't believe that for a second.
Im saving this post in case some smoothbrain goes "bOtH sIdEs" again, or just to annoy the grifters a little...
- I have been telling everyone about trumps wonderful pogroms for the palestinian people and finally the news recognizes it.
- I wonder - and I mean this seriouslyand not in an /s way - what happens, if you object "bOth SiDeS" with "Why not vote for Harris then?"?
  Surely you won't convince a Trumpologist this way.
  But doesn't that also give leeway to present voting for Harris as equally good choice in the eyes of Trumpologists?
  
  Because they either value virtue signaling over actual change, or are just spreading propaganda.
  
  Option A:
  "I couldn't possibly do even a single action that would make me even slightly complicit in the genocide from either side," while spending all day campaigning for everyone to vote the same way as MAGAs want them to, "in fact, the Dems are so far right that they are literally indistinguishable from theocratic authoritarians promising to deliver a dictatorship."
  Option B:
  "Well, he cannot do worse than this," regarding a guy who blasted Yemen and wants to "finish the job" in Gaza, "and this will force the Dems to move left to get voters next election, after voting is abolished, they certainly won't move rightward looking for people who will actually vote."
He wants to make Palestine a territory of Israel’s, like Puerto Rico is to the US. The rub is, the powers in Israel just want to wipe out the Palestinians, so I doubt they will like this plan.
Fuckin' psycho.
- The loving Jesus depicted in the New Testament would be shot, hung, or even re-crucified by his followers if he dared show up and open his mouth. He ain't coming back.
  
  The Baha'is believe he already came and went. World ended in 1844, a new one replaced it.
  Just like the world ended around 4500 BCE when The Green Sahara period and the Bronze Age Collapse happened within 200 years of each other, and some scared ass Jews wrote the Torah, inventing their entire history out of the ruins of Egypt, despite never having been there.
This is an Onion article, right?
