      Why do you think Liberals made fun of Trump parading Tusli Gabbard around? I believe Liberals were right to make fun of that.

        We make fun of Trump and anyone who supports him for being a terrible person and a genuine idiot. Vance used to denigrate him too, now he’s the running mate (and notorious couch fucker) so we rip on him as well.

        We like Kamela since she’s not a terrible person or a generally raving lunatic/narcissist.

        Do you see the difference in these two situations?

          Ignoring that, there’s basically one democrat that decided to turn into a jackass, while Trump is so toxic there’s a long list of party liners (for decades in many cases) openly endorsed a minority female democrat candidate.

          I think that supporting genocide makes you a terrible person. I agree with the rest of that, though.

            I’d buy into that point if I saw even a fraction as much effort put into pushing out Xi, Putin, or even Netanyahu as I ever do people arguing against the nominee for the US democratic party. Hardly a word against the ones actually doing the killing and war crimes, but lots of blame for a US presidential candidate…

              Xi, Putin, and Netanyahu aren’t US politicians. They don’t represent me. Harris does.

              I will happily call Putin and Netanyahu war criminals, but I don’t know how I can affect them over here in the US. (I don’t know enough about Xi to say that about him.)

                  The US is far from perfect, but at a baseline we don’t have overt state sanctioned ethnic or theologic cleansings.

                  We do, though. That’s what’s happening in Gaza.

                    How did you go from “Netanyahu doesn’t represent me, I’m an American” to “we have state sanctioned ethnic cleansing in Gaza” in a heartbeat without a single flash of self-awareness?

        Tulsi Gabbard was ridiculed for being a Russian plant long before she was running for Trump. The ridicule is because she never was serious about any Dem policy and it was obvious.
