You don't think letting the Muslim-ban candidate win is a winning strategy for those concerned about Gaza? (/s)

Maybe their internal polling is real strong, and she feels confident that she can win without these dissenters.

It would appear that shes shifted right and is bringing onboard Trump disillusioned Republicans. Liberals will always align with the far right rather than work with the left.

Harris has been given so many warnings that her Gaza policy could cost her the election, and she’s been given so many chances to give a little ground on this issue. But at every turn, she keeps shouting her dissenters down, rather than finding ways to invite them into her coalition.

You watch, once she loses, the vitriol that will be unleashed towards the left for not blindly and unwaveringly supporting her and her pro-corporate genocidal policies will be immeasurable. They will rather try beat the left into obedient submission or purge them from the party completely and alienate them within the electorate for the next election than do some self analysis and admit they were wrong.

But if you want US imperialism and it's unfettered support and participation in several genocides and conflicts around the globe, syphoning trillions into the military industrial complex while ignoring domestic needs yet constantly playing the "Dont vote for the bogeyman. Vote for us instead because at least we're not the bogeyman!" and wheeling out the "but trust us bro, we'll seriously look into doing something about all your concerns next election cycle" bullshit, then yes, give your support to Harris without question.

Or, you know, you could put her over the fucking coals BEFORE the election and let her know that unless she course corrects immediately, not in 30 days after the election, she ain't gonna get your vote and if trump gets in then that's all on the democrats and no-one else

If you want everything to burn, and the US to cease being a country, vote for Trump

That's literally the dead opposite of what would happen. Trump will make the US into an authoritarian, dictatorial police state, not dissolve it.

Trump's foreign policy is preferable to Kemala's. If Kemala wants people to vote for her she should pursue better policies.

All I'm seeing is pro-Palestine content. Or do you define that as anti-Kamala on account of Harris being pro-Israel?

Frankly, if you do, I'd consider this comment very disingenuous. "anti-Kamala" and "pro-Palestine" sound very different to people.

What I find incredulous is that there has been so much hand-wringing here about how Lemmy.ml are a bunch of despotic regime apologist tankies, yet a lot of people here are bleating like a bunch of fucking sheep "If you dont vote Democrat then the largest imperialist industrialised killing machine in human history will fall, or at least become slightly worse under the orange man!"

You know, its about fucking time the US empire collapsed.

"But millions will suffer if it does" those imperialist apologists will bleat. Billions are suffering currently because of it.

A protest vote does nothing. The system sucks, but with an election this close, a protest vote is a half vote for fascism. Project 2025 makes it very clear that a Republican victory might very well be the end of democracy in the US. Literally—not speaking hyperbolically.

As a non-American, it's very disturbing to see how few Americans seem to take the rise of fascism in their country seriously. There are so many parallels to the Third Reich it's deeply unsettling.

It's also becoming abundantly clear that Russian/Chinese/Iranian interference in elections is pushing for fascism, and their anti-democratic rhetoric, memes, and talking points are being shared widely.

Voting for a third party, with what the Republican Party is saying they'll do if elected, is voting for fascism being an acceptable outcome.

The fact the polls are in a dead heat is disturbing.
