- Mostly just putting this out as an earnest attempt to understand. I get why the right wouldn't like AOC, but a pocket of the left doesn't either, & I'm trying to understand why. Not enough info on my part. Too center, would let genocide happen anyway (so I hear)? Is this just the left eating itself?

- Would you compromise with Hitler?
- [Not loaded yet]
- If you can excuse genocide, then there is nothing you won't excuse

- I sure they would have appreciated being genocided by a different colour

- So she knows she can't change anything and is just taking the job for the paycheck? If she thinks she can't change anything, why did she run?
- [Not loaded yet]
- Of course they want opposition to everything. The alternative is blindly following the party ticket and supporting the Republicans without question
- [Not loaded yet]
- imo genocide being a red line is a good kind of purity politics
- [Not loaded yet]
- There is no nuance with genocide. You either support genocide, or you don't
- [Not loaded yet]
- Finally a person with a bit of sense. These Blue MAGA's reject any and all opposition to their rule and want nothing but absolute loyalty
- [Not loaded yet]
- Why should people have to compromise on genocide and imperialism? Just so some privileged white people can live a slightly better life?
- [Not loaded yet]
- "Voting for the lesser of two evils" only works when one side is a lesser evil. Genocide is a red line and no one should be compromising on it
- AOC is just another oligarch supporting the rich. And genocide should be a red line for everyone. This isn't the left eating itself, it's the left rejecting the right-wing that has dominated all of American politics for all its history
- [Not loaded yet]
- Ukraine ended its prohibition on negotiations and Russia has agreed to ceasefire talks with no preconditions. I think the West's strategy is working quite well
- [Not loaded yet]
- Just last year Ukraine was refusing any and all negotiations outright. I'm glad they changed their policy
- We lost our Republic on November 5th. If you can’t or won’t see that, and you won’t fight this fascism, we’re not getting back. That isn’t hyperbole, it’s acknowledging reality.
- It is hyperbole because you never had a republic to begin with. You had a fascist oligarchy by the rich for the rich

- It's when you make everyone hate you thinking this means you are meeting them in the middle
- Before 2016 America was awesome

- Can you name another similarly powerful empire that is currently funding and supporting a forced starvation campaign in an attempt to genocide a native people?
- [Not loaded yet]
- [Not loaded yet]
- Genocide is genocide, no matter how much you want to whitewash and downplay it. You chose to support genocide over anything else and have to live with that decision
- [Not loaded yet]
- The worst case scenario was already happening but good to know you think one method of genocide is better than another and should be supported
- [Not loaded yet]
- It seem you're not capable of recognising the sheer evil of the American empire and will go to any lengths to defend their war crimes
- [Not loaded yet]
- That graph is laughably misleading. "Deaths per 100k" is so blatantly an intentional tactic to deny the true number of deaths. All this graph tells me is that the world's population has increased since the 1940s. You are defending war and imperialism openly and blatantly
- [Not loaded yet]
- So choosing genocide is the least amount of harm is it?
- [Not loaded yet]
- After the Cold War ended, we still had American backed coups in Central America, invasions of the Middle East based on falsified information, continued war in Afghanistan, NATO bombing campaigns in the Balkans. Where was this relative peace you speak of?
- wtf man, you honestly think you're the only ones who campaigned and protested? You're not special. We did too. And when no one listened to us, what were we supposed to do? Let trump win and make the genocide 10x worse? There's no "end genocide" button in America, we can only mitigate harm
- You let Trump win either way. How does it feel to have compromised on supporting genocide and still lost? You gave up your principles for nothing and the world will remember it
- [Not loaded yet]
- Holy shit you couldn't be more of a propagandist if you tried. The Cold War was anything but. America destroyed the world and installed dictators to support its own interests. You are denying history because it doesn't fit your American superiority narrative
- [Not loaded yet]
- [Not loaded yet]
- Trusting Trump's word was an idiotic move to begin with
- [Not loaded yet]
- It is absolutely endorsing the genocide. Instead of voting for genocide, you should have been campaigning and protesting against both of them. No one should ever compromise on genocide
- The announcement came as Tehran was criticised for its alleged support of Yemen's Houthis, who launched an attack against Israel's international airport over the weekend.
- Full support for anyone fighting Israel's genocidal regime. The whole world should join in
- Absolutely not. It was still a genocidal, imperialist hellhole that oppressed anyone who disagreed and conquered wherever it saw fit
- [Not loaded yet]
- Because Americans are idiots and thought voting Republican against the Democrats' support for genocide would solve anything. Both of them have supported Israel unconditionally for decades and anyone who opposes genocide should not vote for them under any circumstances
- [Not loaded yet]
- People that side with the Zionist terrorists under the guise of supporting Israel's existence have nothing to stand on. The people of Israel don't want this genocide and their government is repressing them for it

- Andrew Tate probably brought it to Romania

- It is the case. People are complaining that too many people either voted for Trump in opposition to the genocide, or didn't go out to vote in opposition to the genocide. If Harris had made the bare minimum effort of saying that genocide is bad, the worldwide BDS movement could have supported her
- [Not loaded yet]
- The majority of Americans voted for Democrats or Republicans, neither of which supported a permanent end to the genocide
- [Not loaded yet]
- I completely agree. I thought you were saying nobody could have known about the attacks; not just that Americans were being their ignorant selves
- [Not loaded yet]
- That's not what won the war at all... The war was won in the West by the combined invasion force of mostly the USSR and the D-Day invaders. Japan surrendered directly because of the USSR's declaration of war; not the 2 massive war crimes in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
- [Not loaded yet]
- White Americans certainly do. The rest of the world is looking at white Americans and knowing they are exaggerating how great America ever was
- As opposed to every other president that was elected on a platform of "I am better than the other guy" and nothing else?
- [Not loaded yet]
- Any offer of an unconditional ceasefire should be taken. Zelenskyy just didn't want his pride to be damaged by accepting a "demand" from Russia
- I will admit some grim satisfaction in watching people who've spent years decrying the American empire and calling for its collapse and now hand-wringing about the suffering happening now and just over the horizon. It was always obvious and would always be the cost exchanged.
- The American people get what they deserve. They have done nothing but support the exact same fascist parties for centuries
- [Not loaded yet]
- No, all this will show them is that don't need to say anything about the genocide and they can still win support. Any success for complicit policians is a loss for humanity
- 💙Like & ♻️repost so everyone can find this! We will flood Bluesky with some Obama positivity rather than acknowledging 🍊💩 birthday. Pass it on! 🌸🩵🫶🩵🌸 #obama2028 #strongertogether #resist #BlueCrew
- Why would I want to celebrate a war criminal?
- [Not loaded yet]
- The whole world knew that America was bombing Yemen. American voters had no excuse. What cost Harris the election was her refusal to condemn genocide so the few remaining sensible people in America refused to compromise on genocide and didn't vote for her or Trump
- [Not loaded yet]
- The right gained seats in Canada and Germany. What are you talking about?
- [Not loaded yet]
- "We welcome all fascist sympathisers, supporters, and those indifferent to its rise". Absolutely despicable
- It's so funny how "ambition" for so many people just means "trying to make as much money as possible." Like guys, you only get one life, I can't imagine anything less "ambitious" than using it trying to get a promotion at work so you can afford a boat or whatever.
- Once I have my own house and maybe a good PC, I genuinely don't think I'll ever want to increase my wealth ever again. I don't know how people don't think like this

- I got called a tankie recently because I denounced a past American president calling America the pre-eminent power in the world as just another American exceptionalist
- I expect several new pro-voting lawsuits to be filed this week. The best way to stay informed about these new cases and everything happening to democracy in court is to sign up for free to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
- Because as well all know, Hitler was defeated by a lawsuit

- Genocide, of all things, should be an absolute, indisputable red line where anyone who supports it gets 0 votes. Almost every American voter is willing to compromise on this red line however
- Senators: It’s your duty to support and defend the Constitution, not a red hat!
- I'm sure that will show them 🙄
- I'm revising my opinion about ChatGPT. It can be a useful tool for fleshing out ideas in greater detail. But the key is, you have to be prepared to ask it very precise and knowledgable questions, and to challenge it when it gives you an answer that seems incorrect.
- So expending huge amounts of energy and water to get a stolen and lack lustre response is a good thing?
