    Palestinians aren’t being given asylum right now. Trump just said the quiet part out loud.e

    And honestly, I’m pessimistic about us being able to resist Harris. We certainly failed to resist Biden. It can certainly be done, but there’s a gulf of difference between “we can do it” and “we will do it.” That’s why I also pointed out that if Trump wins the liberals will join us instead of just sitting around at home to wait for the next election.

      So you won’t even lift a finger to take a chance of saving Palestinians. You’ll just sit on your couch and let them die.

        Red fascists despise minorities and will do everything in their power to ensure we suffer.

        I won’t lift a finger to vote for genocide. You can twist yourself into ideological knots to convince yourself that voting for genocide will save Palestinians, but I see the truth. The only chance Palestinians have is if the US and Israel are defeated.

        Which president is more likely to lose against the Axis of Resistance?

          Neither is going to lose. People are too comfortable. They have too much to lose to join a fight like that. Its delusional to think otherwise.

            The largest protest movement in US history happened under Trump. People aren’t that comfortable, and you yourself probably believe Trump is going to make a lot of people very uncomfortable.

                They burned a police station down. That’s not something people do when they’re too comfortable.

                It was a revolutionary moment, there just wasn’t an organized political force or party to take control of the situation and push forward an agenda. It was merely more of the same leaderless horizonalism that characterized the 2010s. That shit doesn’t work, but that doesn’t mean nothing else was possible. We won’t have a revolution just because people are uncomfortable. It requires organizing, which is what we should be doing right now and immediately after Trump steals the election.
