    The seven year war, which is what the rest of the world calls the French Indian war should actually have been called World War One.

    It was also started by an incompetent 22 year old George Washington being sent out in his first command who ignored the equivalent of the sergeant put in charge of the new lieutenant advice and executed a French person he shouldn’t have.

    The taxes that started the revolutionary war? Those were to pay the war debts on the seven year war. Dude literally led an army to avoid paying the consequences of his actions.

    EDIT: it’s also possible to draw “ALL WARS”

    You got Trump elected twice.

    Good job, if that was the intent.

    Your child analogy is sophistry trying to pin responsibility for the DNC’s failures on others to preserve the paycheck of checks notebook oh yeah, the campaign manager of John Edwards failed primary campaign who then went to work for Clinton in 2016 and Harris in 2024.

    You’re carrying the water for people who continue to fail up and then fail using the same strategy that failed them before.

    Good job.

    But… I’m guessing you’re not aware of the whole DNC consultant class that continues to drive failing campaigns that fail to get votes but succeed in getting billionaires contributions that get given to the consultant class so they can buy their next yacht. None of this is hidden either, it is public.

    Which makes the irony of an ignorant person like you repeating the lines that fail to win votes but maintains the jobs of the people failing calling other people children.

    EDIT: You’re like a musk fanboi with a paid for blue checkmark. Difference is that the musk fanboi at least knows they’re a fanboi.

    Look at that, a jackass fine with genocide falling back to ad hominem, because their screed of “I’m done with solidarity” when they had none in the first place gets pointed out for the bullshit it was.

    I’ll be sure to tell my trans friends it’s okay that they’re getting thrown under the bus next because Leate_Wonceslace is done with solidarity. The Dems are already explicitly blaming them for the loss.

    You do support that path.

    You are actively doing so right now.

    The point about genocide being binary is that someone is either willing to commit it, or they aren’t.

    Biden and Harris(and Trump, presumably) are willing to commit genocide. The basis of that willingess is an underlying belief that some people matter more than other people. And some people don’t matter at all.

    And you hope that by supporting the people that hold that belief that they won’t add your group to the list of people that don’t matter to them.

    There were lots of Germans that felt the same way. We have literal books of history and poems telling us that they were wrong. Fuck, I know you’ve heard at least one poem making this point.

    ‘’'First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
         Because I was not a trade unionist.
    
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
         Because I was not a Jew.
    
    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
    

    ‘’’

    That’s you. Doing everything you can to ignore the Democrats already signaling that they would be willing to throw trans people under the bus.

    You think my side are being morally condescending and use phrases like ‘high horse’ But that is just people who support the Democratic party trying to justify their own willingness to work with genociders. I’m not trying to pass moral judgement on you and your side.

    I’m trying to explain to you that the moral quandary is not new. It is old, and has happened many times before, and your strategy HAS NEVER WORKED BEFORE.

    Imagine you have two children, and someone kidnaps you and them and tells you to choose which one lives, and if you don’t choose, they will kill both.

    If you don’t pick, who is responsible for killing the children? You for not choosing or the person that pulled the trigger?

    EDIT: not sure why the poem is not formatting correctly.



  • I like how your big slam dunk is to admit that you’ve been on this bullshit for over 20 years now and haven’t learned a damn thing if you think “stand aside and let Gaza be annexed outright” is a defensible position.

    No, I’ve learned that when I give the Democratic party control of all three houses, they break their own promises and refuse to use the power they’ve been given in any meaningful way.

    I remember the murdered peace movement when Obama got into office and got the American Foreign Wars Count up from 2 to 16.

    I remember the dead promise to legislate a law protecting abortion when the Democratic party had all three branches of the government and absolutely could have passed legislation.

    I remember holding my nose and voting for Clinton as she then continued to run the worst campaign I’ve ever seen and then, as fucking always, blame it on the left.

    My gotcha is I’ve lived a life of watching the Democratic party attack its base for the worst causes and try to shame anyone with a memory longer than a goldfish into voting for them again.

    Letting Trump Win is an action which furthers genocide and me pointing that out is not boomer shit, you’re over a decade older than me and yet you’re carrying yourself with the mental maturity of the inverse.

    Genocide is Binary. Harris has made it clear (in so much as she has made any policy view that she holds clear) that she will follow Bidens current policy.

    Biden is currently committing genocide. And yes, giving weapons to the person doing it is the same as doing it. Especially if you could stop it with a single phone call.
