  • This is such a disingenuous argument.

    A socialist endorsing the only candidate capable of defeating a fascist in November is not “endorsing genocide” just because the candid she endorsed in weak on Israel.

    If there was another candidate she could endorse that both had a chance of beating Trump and was sufficiently anti-Israel, I too would be critical of her choice to endorse Biden, but he is literally the only acceptable option she has available.

    Trump has promised to provide more support to Israel with fewer restrictions on how they can use the weapons we give them, so if you’re earnestly trying to minimize damage to the Palestinian people, your primary goal has to be to keep Trump out of the White House.

    If you care more about getting the perfect progressive candidate, and are willing to go scorched earth over it and let Trump win just to send a message, you can drop the act about caring about progressive things, because Israel will completely flatten Gaza without opposition, and we’re probably going to start genociding homeless and queer people here at home too.

    So remember that, after the election is over, we will remember who voted for and against Fascism, and l “not voting for Trump” isn’t going to be enough to protect you.







  • Look, I’m all about avoiding unnecessary speculation, but being registered as a Republican is a very strong indicator of where they stand on the political spectrum. I don’t know why we are pretending that this isn’t fairly conclusive. It’s not like he changed party affiliation as a psyop, he’s been registered as a Republican for nearly three years.

    I don’t know why he tried to kill Trump, but let’s not pretend that these details don’t matter.



  • Well, a conspiracy requires evidence, and without evidence there’s no reason to treat the conspiracy theory as credible.

    Saying 0% would be unrealistic because there’s always a chance, but if you actually believe that this is a 50/50 toss-up, you’re just delusional and desperate to feel some sense of enlightenment like every other conspiracy theorist moron in the world.

    Given that there is precisely zero evidence of what you are claiming, I’ll estimate as close to zero as I can without pretending it’s impossible.

    But make no mistake, you are deliberately spreading disinformation.
