Yeah, but think of the profits when people have absolutely forgotten the original release and the movie can just be recast 30 years later and passed off as original.

Quite a few downvotes from Germans, even more than I expected. A lot of Germans are confidently incorrect about Zionism, Zionists, and the settler-colonial state of Israel.

This is getting old and isn’t effective when the only other option according to the US voting system is trump.

Harris is Palestines best bet at continued existence. Sorry if that hurts your feelings or something…

Harris is Palestines best bet at continued existence.

She has promised to never cease sending bombs to Israel for it to “defend itself.”

AmbiguousProps , (edited )

Do you think Trump would cease sending bombs? I don’t think he’s any better, and in fact would probably send more. We can protest once she actually does it which might be effective, unlike with Trump who would view the protesters as the enemy.

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

Nope, I believe that, like Harris, he will continue to uphold bipartisan US foreign policy, and maintain the current flow of bombs to Israel.

Painting Harris as “Palestine’s best hope for continued existence” is monstrous and downplays her already active support for continuing the genocide, it reads as you trying to pre-emptively absolve yourself of guilt for voting for her.

AmbiguousProps ,

Where did I say that she was “Palenstine’s best hope for continued existence”? I said nothing of the sort, so thanks for putting words in my mouth. The truth of the matter is that the US will always send Israel bombs, but one candidate will do it more than the other. Palestine is fucked either way, unfortunately.

Third parties will not win, Trump will not be any better for Palestine than Kamala, and Kamala at least has better domestic policy anyway. I don’t feel guilty for voting for her when the other candidate literally wants me any my queer friends dead, along with Palestine. Sorry, not sorry.

Didn’t realize you were a different person from the original commenter I was talking to. Speaking of, it’s helpful for people to have profile pics for that reason.

The truth of the matter is that the US will always send Israel bombs, but one candidate will do it more than the other.

How will one candidate do it more than the other? Is Trump going to build bombs himself? This is a bipartisan effort.

Third parties will not win, Trump will not be any better for Palestine than Kamala,

Correct, and Kamala will not be any better for Palestine than Trump, and pretending otherwise is monstrous.

I don’t feel guilty for voting for her when the other candidate literally wants me any my queer friends dead, along with Palestine. Sorry, not sorry.

Vote for whoever you want, just don’t pretend your vote for Harris is helping Palestinians. The US is dedicated to genocide either way.

AmbiguousProps ,

I’m not going to upload a profile picture so that you can avoid reading.

Trump will give the military industrial complex more money. Look at what you’re doing now, you’re literally defending Trump. That’s a huge red flag, and you should maybe look at yourself and see why you are now defending him.

Did I say my vote would help Palenstine? No. I said it would keep the status quo, and that if Trump was elected it would only accelerate the genocide and also hurt myself and my queer friends. Are you a single issue voter?

Our two options are Trump or Kamala. There’s no chance a third party will win (by design). So, of those two, I definitely know who I’m voting for.

Cowbee , (edited )
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

Lmao. How? Is he going to beg Congress to pass what they already are agreeing to pass?

Not at all, I think he’s a monstrous piece of shit, I just don’t think he has magic powers like you do.

Did I say my vote would help Palenstine? No. I said it would keep the status quo, and that if Trump was elected it would only accelerate the genocide

Again, materially, how?

Our two options are Trump or Kamala. There’s no chance a third party will win (by design). So, of those two, I definitely know who I’m voting for.

I don’t care who you vote for with respect to the genocide, both candidates support current US foreign policy and neither will change it, and pretending otherwise is monstrous.

AmbiguousProps ,

You do realize how congress works, right? If Trump wins, the house is probably going to stay red, and the Senate could easily flip to red as well. Then, all Trump has to do is say the word and suddenly the schedule for bombing Palestine has changed.

You did defend Trump, covering your eyes and plugging your ears over it doesn’t help.

I’m not going to continue to explain the basics of US politics and government to you. If you can’t understand how electing Trump or voting for a third party hurts Palestine, then it’s hopeless to continue to try. You are a lost cause, single issue voter. I don’t care if you care who I’m voting for, because you can’t seem to grasp the basics of politics in general. I’m voting for her because if I don’t, I will lose my own rights and be unable to help those who have already lost theirs.

Bakkoda ,

Point me in the direction of your preferred candidate then.

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

If I could pick anyone, it would be Claudia De La Crúz, but even if I vote for her she won’t win. I just want Liberals to stop pretending that voting for Harris will cease the genocide, because it won’t, and it’s monstrous to suggest otherwise.

AmbiguousProps ,

Yep, you’re right that she wouldn’t win and you would be propping up Trump by voting for her. I don’t see any “liberals” saying she’ll stop the genocide, either. I only see you bringing up that point in this thread.

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

Read the thread, there are plenty of people on this thread pretending Harris will be better for Palestine, which is a lie.

TheOubliette ,

“Hold your nose and vote genocide”.

Rather than rewarding genociders, might I suggest opposing them? I was told this was the worst crime, but apparently it isn’t as bad as not voting for it.

If you’d like to do electoral math, being an automatic lever pull means you have no leverage. And if your conception of electoralism is to cheerlead and support top-down dictates, you’re actively disempowering yourself.

But personally, I don’t think it should require game theory to not vote for any pro-genocide candidate. Demand better or be complicit. I certainly won’t forget this depravity.

ValorieAF , in Democrats be like

So Trump gets elected, the genocide gets 10x worse, the right allows Israel to completely demolish Palastine and take their land.

Kamala gets elected, genocide might continue for a while, but at least we have time and still have a democracy and the chance to vote in people who will condemn genocide.

There is an effectively zero chance of any third party candidate winning the election, so if you care so much about genocide, throwing your vote away to third party where you would have otherwise voted for Kamala is essentially taking away a vote from Kamala and giving it to Trump, supporting even further genocide.

Any questions?

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

So Trump gets elected, the genocide gets 10x worse

Why would it get worse, materially, let alone 10 times? Harris has promised to never cease giving Israel bombs to “defend itself,” what’s Trump going to do to make it worse?

Kamala gets elected, genocide might continue for a while, but at least we have time and still have a democracy and the chance to vote in people who will condemn genocide.

Spoiler: there will not be that candidate. Next election in 4 years, if there are any Palestinians left, there will still be 2 Zionist candidates representing the DNC and GOP, and the anti-genocide candidates will be 3rd parties with little to no chance of winning.

AmbiguousProps ,

The third parties have 0 chance of winning. So which is better? Kamala, who might actually listen to the public, or Trump, who won’t listen and will do whatever he wants to Palestine?

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

Neither, both support the bipartisan US foreign policy of genocide. Harris will not “listen to the public,” she will listen to the fact that the US needs Israel to keep the Middle East tied up and secure the Petro-Dollar as the World’s Currency.

Neither Trump nor Harris will cease the genocide.

AmbiguousProps ,

Did I say that she would cease the genocide? Do you always just put words in other people’s mouths? That’s a poor strategy for getting people to listen to you.

Palestine will continue to be genocided. Do you want the genocide to go faster (Trump) or stay at the same speed? If you want it to go faster, you can just say to vote for Trump (and a vote for a third party will give power to those voting for Trump, so the same result).

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

Palestine will continue to be genocided. Do you want the genocide to go faster (Trump) or stay at the same speed?

How is Trump going to make it worse? This is a bipartisan genocide, is him being in office going to make the scheduled bomb shipments magically more powerful?

AmbiguousProps ,

No, but he has full power to be able to alter the schedule to send more bombs. That’s the point that you can’t seem to realize - he hates Palestine and would love to get closer with the nationalists in Israel. He would do everything in his power to allow more and more shipments from our bottomless inventory of weaponry.

Do you want the Zionists to be given bombs more often? Because voting for Trump or a third party will get you there.

Cowbee , (edited )
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

How will he do this, materially? Congress sets the shipments, is he going to personally buy more bombs and send them via UPS? Is his personal hatred going to magnify the power of the bombs sent? If Kamala cries while sending bombs, do they misfire more frequently?

ValorieAF ,

Why would it get worse, materially, let alone 10 times? Harris has promised to never cease giving Israel bombs to “defend itself,” what’s Trump going to do to make it worse?

Because Republicans are entirely fans of Israel and would do anything to help them… This is common information, have you been living under a fucking rock? Republicans have repeatedly shown that they will help Israel.

Spoiler: there will not be that candidate. Next election in 4 years, if there are any Palestinians left, there will still be 2 Zionist candidates representing the DNC and GOP, and the anti-genocide candidates will be 3rd parties with little to no chance of winning.

Nobody knows that for sure. If people care about it, they will run for office. It sounds like you prioritize the presidential elections and ignore local elections, because those are what matter in getting “that candidate”.
