You don’t get to call truth an"absolutely horrendous take", but it’s kinda the only tool the proxy-trump voters have left to save a little face, so whatever floats your boat.
What, exactly, does linking a Wikipedia page dispute about what I’ve said? What “truth?” I called your analysis a horrendous take because it was, Israel pre-October 7 was commiting genocide, and was commiting genocide even back when it was founded three quarters of a century ago. Kamala would never oppose Israel. I also don’t like the insinuation that I’m a Trump voter, I never voted for Trump nor any republican, ever. Calling your take bad wasn’t my “only tool,” I dismantled your argument that capes for Zionist genocide of Palestinians.
Here’s some good reading for you, since you love linking articles:
To Stop Marx, They Made Zion
The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine
Strategy for the Liberation of Palestine
State of Israel
State of Palestine
I’m not insinuating that, I’m stating that you are a proxy trump voter. There is a difference.
Let put it this way. If this ongoing genocide has always been such an issue since the 1940s, where the fuck were the people protesting voting and calling for a cessation of support during previous elections? Why wasn’t this laid at the feet of Trump on 2024, or Biden and Trump in 2020, or Clinton and Trump in 2016, or Obama and Romney in 2012? The answer is that it was a wedge issue driven into the anti-trump voters by Republicans and their foreign backers in a boldface attempt to fragment the voting bloc. Full stop. People fell for it, they fell for it fucking hard, they put the idealized fairytale ending of an endless war between two groups of religious zealots above the safety of immigrants, the rights of citizens, the prosecution of corrupt politicians and the general rule of law here.
You got conned into being a proxy trump voter. 2 party system sucks, I know. I wish it was all sunshine, rainbows, and an intelligent and compassionate electorate, but we’re not going to get that if we keep going all in on a 0.3% chance of winning just the Presidency for 4 years. Baby steps. You gotta walk before you can run.
Not voting for Trump is not voting for Trump. If I wanted Trump to win, I would have voted for Trump. Simple as that.
Secondly, pro-Palestinian protests have been ongoing since Palestine was first colonized by the settler Zionists. The increase in support over time for such protests comes from the increased relevance of social media, and the erosion of influence of traditional media, which is easier to control. I’ve been pro-Palestine for decades, the tremendous increase in opposition to genocide has been an incredible tilt that I have never seen before, and it’s thanks to the fact that daily people are seeing Zionists gun down dozens of Palestinians.
There is precisely no evidence of foreign actors pointing out the bipartisan support for genocide as a means to get Trump elected. Zero. This is an utter fantasy you invented in order to reconcile your willing participation in a genocidal system.
And no, electoralism doesn’t work. Leftists have known this, which is why Leftists advocate for getting organized, and not for distilling your connection to the political process to a single vote cast once every 2-4 years.
That’s not the argument I made. I said that there were Republicans and foreign actors targeting the anti-trump voting bloc.
So who did you vote for in the last 4 elections?
Gotcha, so where are we at with that “leftist” party? I don’t see much organizing going on over there.
Proxy voting for trump is proxy voting for trump. If you wanted trump to lose, you would have voted for the viable candidate that stood a chance of beating him. Simple as that.
There’s precisely no evidence of Republicans or foreign actors pointing out the bipartisan support for the genocide of Palestinians as a means to get Trump elected.
Not telling you who I’ve voted for, you aren’t owed that.
PSL is growing more rapidly than ever, and is spearheading a lot of the current protests against Trump and against ICE, against the bombing of Iran, against the genocide of Palestinians, and more. You should join! Would be good for your political growth.
There is no such thing as “proxy voting.” I did not vote for Trump, and no matter who I voted for, he still would have won. It wasn’t close, and it wasn’t because of some master play by foreign actors and Republicans. It’s because the DNC has moved so far to the right that they are utterly disconnected from the needs of the working class, a class they can’t support because just like the GOP, they are a party of the capitalist class.
The “silence” is deafening.
Saying it again doesn’t make it right. Thats not the argument I put forth. Read it again, slower this time.
Also, you should really rethink PSL. I looked into them last year after a commentor suggested them as an “anti-genocide” party… And there is a lot of support of the North Korean Workers party, and the CCP in the PSL organization. Both of which have perpetuated horrible genocides and human rights abuses.
So no, I won’t be joining.
There was no “silence.” I outright told you that you aren’t owed an answer.
I read your comment, it’s exactly what you meant.
Further, you’re deeply confused about PSL, the WPK, PSL’s stance on the CPC and DPRK, as well as Socialism and Socialist history in general. Talk to a local chapter and try to get a better understanding of things. By the sounds of it, you’d condemn Nelson Mandela, Cuba, the Black Panther Party, all manner of Socialist orgs. Considering your erasure of the Palestinian genocide, I don’t think you’re a good reference for anything.
Like, what genocide have Koreans, North or South, ever comitted? Koreans on both sides were the victims of genocide at the hands of the US Empire. More tons of bombs were dropped on Korea than the entire pacific front of World War II, and the US was preparing to nuke it.

I seriously doubt your ability to comprehend the written word since you’ve read it 3 times and still can’t accurately summarize my stance on the issue.
