First three answers of the interview.

No I will not ban fracking even though in 2019 I said I would on day one, my values have not changed.

No I wouldn't decriminalize entering the country we have to crack down on the border because we're a nation of laws.

Yes I would be willing to have a republican in my cabinet.

JJEEEEEEEZZZZZUUUUSSS well I guess that's about the end of her honeymoon period lmao.

It's harm reduction because incase having a personal identity crisis wonder why the fuck I was agreeing with what the dems were doing electorally, appreciate them eliminating that confusion. I feel the exact same way about Harris that I did the day before Biden dropped out. This interview literally puts her to the right of Biden. Even Biden wouldn't repeatedly say "yes I said that now, now I'm saying this, my position has not changed despite you highlighting two mutually exclusive positions I have held."

How is every Democrat candidate supposed to be worse if we don’t give them room to be worse? She’s just following a natural law of US politics.

Damn I do think that nothing about the United States is redeemable.

If the entire country was hit by a meteor and everyone in it fucking died, it would still be a net good for the world.

[-] Ericthescruffy@hexbear.net 62 points 2 weeks ago

I don't want to give us too much credit cause we definitely do suck but: I do think its worth remembering that polls show a significant majority of Americans support a permanent ceasefire. This is just another example of democracy being a dog and pony show while the empire carries on doing whatever the hell it wants.

[-] RaisedFistJoker@hexbear.net 24 points 2 weeks ago

i mean we'll see in the election results, no matter how much the americans pontificate about how theyre good on the inside actually and that its just the evil politicians guiding them astray, if more than 50% of them vote for the nazi parties two wings we know that those polls were wrong

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago

They doubtlessly will, but I think this just reinforces the fact that in every epoch, the ideas of the ruling class are the ideas of the working class. The same pattern holds for masking: certainly less than 10% of Americans mask, and even in California only about 15% are up to date with vaccines. America is the most brainwashed country in the world.

That being said, I don't mean to excuse the settler brainworms that just naturally come as a consequence of most Americans being labor aristocrats at best, and active Imperialist agents at worst.

[-] RaisedFistJoker@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

im not willing to give the americans the out of being brainwashed, i imagine if youve been on this site for a while youve probably already heard the critiques at least once, i agree the ideas of the ruling class of america are the ideas of the working class, but also that the working class of america are the junior party of the ruling class of the world, and their class position makes it beneficial for them to behave like they do, and the consumption the propaganda they consume is a subconcious effort to reaffirm that they arent the bad guys. This has never been clearer to me in the wake of gaza, seeing how these people choose to not see something and not believe something because it would shatter their self image if they were to accept it.

My enemy is not the American ruling class, I genuinely hate the American people

[-] miz@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

what passes for "culture" in American media is disgusting and worships freedom as atomization, "freedom" is not having any obligations to anyone and no community to "hold you back" from climbing to the top and dominating everyone else

Oh they got this all screwed up

Harm reduction?

No, more bombs

By continuously publicly stating that they will do the exact same amount of harm or maybe even more than the Republicans.

How do you take up the reigns of an administration with like a 30% approval rating and then proudly proclaim you're not gonna change a fucking thing? Jesus christ, it really was just about Biden not being able to talk good anymore, wasn't it?

lol the betting markets flipped back to Trump after this interview

Hey Mrs Harris the earth is dying and 99% of people under the age of like 30 will starve to death at some point in their life if we don't stop hitting the accelerator on climate change, but sure, keep fracking for oil.

Lemmings responding to this interview by saying they'd vote for Reagan if the alternative was Trump

[-] miz@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

so cool how they take the blatant failure of lesser evilism (both parties shifting to the right) and use it as an argument IN FAVOR OF LESSER EVILISM

[-] Pentacat@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

At least Reagan was capable of telling “Israel” to fuck off when he had to.

Hey look, same answer as "Will you be voting for Harris?"

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 43 points 2 weeks ago

Excuse me, but I'm busy projecting all my beliefs onto her. As long as she doesn't explicitly say that she won't l execute Biden for war crimes then I'm still voting for her

[-] daniyeg@hexbear.net 38 points 2 weeks ago

fuck the morality of it this is one of the most unpopular positions of the biden admin. majority of independents and demotivated democrats want the weapons cut off from israel. why are democrats chasing some moderate republican voters that are never going to vote for them?

well it was a rhetorical question i know why. the interests of israel is aligned with their interests.

if you are registered to vote in united states, don't fall for the "lesser of two evils" narrative. you saw how people withholding their vote changed the democrats' candidate when most pundits deemed it impossible. withhold your vote and as loudly as you can condition your vote on stopping this genocide.

Remember, Trump will be MORE enthusiastic about supporting this genocide so if you don't vote blue you're a Nazi

Habitual Harm Harris

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago

I'm coming around to the idea that Trump might actually be the harm reduction candidate if only because libs might pretend to care about what cheeto-man is doing. Sure it'll still be in a useless "drumph bad! We even call him drumph!" way but it still might get some libs to decide that genocide is bad now that the Republicans are doing it
