Y’know what, I’m going to actually address your post on the merits, against my better judgement. (Against my better judgement, because I suspect you’re going to try and suck me in to a time wasting debate on semantics.)
The lie in your meme is the framing. You’ve set up two things that may well be true, but you’ve framed it in such a way to imply equivalency between the two candidates. If you simply wanted to point out Harris’s hypocrisy, there was no point to bring Trump into it.
There’s also the fact that in both examples, Trump represents by far the worse on both issues. It’s like saying “Abraham Lincoln is a racist, so anyone voting for him over the slaver candidates has decided racism isn’t a deal-breaker!” It’s like, fuck. popular sentiment and the structure of our decision-making apparati means we only have so many fucking choices available to us at a given time. Sorry for not sitting it out so we can jerk off to the intensification of already-shitty situations? We’re trying to make the best decision with what we have, not torment the oppressed so we can pretend to have a halo over our head.
Exactly. Harris and Trump both have pro-Israel policies which I’m strongly against. Trump’s stance is far worse, AND he’s a racist, misogynist, corpo sellout piece of shit.
The meme I posted… Is it wrong?
