    My dad gave me a choice between a pair of skates or a 10 year old used car when I turned 18 but I refused both and told him I wanted a brand new car. I ended up with a pair of skates. Getting to work was hard the next 4 years.

    Trump wants to build the wall and do genocide because be is racist.

    Harris wants to build the wall and do genocide because it is good for the economy.

    They are clearly not the same.

      We are constantly making the mistake in Russia of judging the slogans and tactics of a certain party or group, of judging its general trend, by the intentions or motives that the group claims for itself. Such judgement is worthless. The road to hell—as was said long ago—is paved with good intentions.

      It is not a matter of intentions, motives or words but of the objective situation, independent of them, that determines the fate and significance of slogans, of tactics or, in general, of the trend of a given party or group.

      Damn if she's not racist she should stop implementing racist policies and using racist rhetoric that endangers immigrants and minorities then. I'm sure it's all just a big misunderstanding.

        It would be one thing if you only talked about the policies being essentially the same and having the same outcomes.

        But you brought up rhetoric, and the rhetoric is not the same, and that gives people leeway in saying you’re being misleading.

      Are you just going to ignore the racist and xenophobic talking points by Harris about how immigrants are bringing fentanyl to kill US citizens? Or Harris bringing up the factually incorrect claims about Hamas members and Palestinian men sexually assaulting Israelis, based on racist colonial tropes. Or how Harris was a top prosecutor that spent her entire career locking up minorities. I could go on and on, the entire debate consisted of the candidates trying to outdo each other with the amount of racism they were spewing.

      So you acknowledge Kamala is pro-genocide?

          Oh fuck you, how put upon. You're the real victim here, having to deal with moral scorn. Boo fucking hoo.

          What other way is there to be pro-genocide? I guess you feel there needs to be some other option since you're a genocide supporter yourself

          The Biden administration (of which she is a part) continues to send weapons to a state that is openly using those weapons to commit a genocide, and Kamala has plainly stated she has no intention of stopping the flow of those weapons. What other way am I supposed to interpret this, exactly, other than her being pro-genocide?

        How could we when Kamala enthusiastically repeats complete fabrications about Oct. 7th as justification for the genocide she's currently supporting. She even said it again last night!
