I'm not ignoring everything except one aspect, though. Both are genocidal, and both serve the interests of the US Empire above all-else, and as such they share far more in common than not. I'm not ignorant, and you can take your faux-superiority back. I've been here far longer than you have, telling me to go back to Reddit doesn't make any sense. I'm a communist, the devs are communists, and a lot of communists are on Lemmy after various subreddits like r/GenZedong, r/TheDeprogram, and r/ChapoTrapHouse got banned. What I say fits in here.

Hardly. Democrats made it clear that they care about netanyahu's political career above all else.

The purpose of supporting Israel is so that it secures US interests in the region.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's the excuse. The US' interests would be better served if netanyahu's corruption trial had proceeded.

It isn't the excuse at all, the US has unwavering support for Israel because it's essentially a giant US millitary base in the middle east.

Would netanyahu have really stopped letting the US use their stolen land if biden hadn't been his personal lapdog?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Netanyahu doesn't have the actual power in the US-Israel relationship. Israel is thoroughly dependent on the US, while there's some counter-influence the real seat of power is the US Empire. If Israel becomes more costly to support financially, such as the incredibly high shipping costs due to Yemen's attacks on shipping, as well as an exodus of settlers to keep the project going, only then will Israel lose support and thus collapse.

I’m not pretending America is the best country, or Harris would be the best for the world.

I have 0 interest in Defending her, but claiming they’re the same with a straight face is fucking laughable. America would be a better country internally and on the global stage with her in charge, by any metric that isn’t “burn all capitalism down”.

Here’s an easy one - would Harris have sent a citizen to CECOT without a trial? Obviously not, because she’s demonstrably different from Trump, like any 3 year old could determine.

The US Empire is the world's worst country. It's the biggest exporter of genocide and terror, and the world's biggest plunderer. Harris would maintain that exact same brutal system, domestically and internationally. It's not hard to be better than them. Yes, Harris would send people to CECOT without trial, every imperialist president has done acts like that.

Chill out with the calling everyone to your left a child or a Russian bot, etc. It's the peak of liberalism.

She sent a transwoman to mens prison, who got raped and joked about it.
You're pathetically trying to defend this evil ghoul:

Under her jurisdiction, in "progressive" San Francisco, 56% of all inmates in SF jails were black, along with 40% of all arrests (Only 5.8% of the population is black). Ignores police brutality, protected 14 of her officers who were caught sending extremely racist text messages. Oversaw San Francisco’s felony conviction rate rising from 52% to 67% in only 3 years.

As part of her tough on crime approach she assigned senior prosecutors to misdemeanors like graffiti and vandalism, tripling the number of cases brought to trial.
After a federal judge orders California to expand prison releases to reduce crowding, her office argued in court that if forced to release these inmates early, prisons would lose an important labor pool.
Spent years jailing disproportionately black nonviolent cannabis users while opposing taking cannabis off DEA’s list of most dangerous substances and literally laughing at the idea of legalizing it multiple times, even as her Republican opponent ran to the left of her on the issue. She then tried to pander by admitting to smoking herself despite prosecuting others, but got her story all wrong. Drug convictions under her office soared, convicting more people of marijuana possession than her predecessor (she also admitted to smoking marijuana) 2
Laughs about threatening parents with jailtime for truancy. 2. The stories of several mothers she jailed.
Pushed a law that forced schools to turn over undocumented students to ICE.
Opposed reforming California’s three-strikes law, which is the only one in the country to impose life sentences for minor felonies and incarcerates black people at 12x the rate as white people, three different times, even while her Republican opponent supported reform.
Tried to deny a transgender inmate healthcare and endangered trans women by forcing them into mens prisons, leading to the rape and torture of at least one trans inmate.
Appealed a judge ruling that the death penalty was unconstitutional and won on a technicality, resulting in continued executions.
Supports the controversial DNA search technique that can be used on people even if they’ve not been charged with a crime.
Supported the discriminatory practice of cash bail in court, until 2016.
Protected serial child rapists by refusing to prosecute in the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal.
Lied about her state’s solitary confinement to block a suit by inmates, claiming there was none in California when there were about 6,400 victims of the practice, which is considered torture.
Opposed legislation that would require independent investigation of fatal police shootings despite criticism from many civil rights advocates including California’s Legislative Black Caucus.
Opposed statewide implementation of police body cameras and ignored police brutality, multiple officers raping a teenager, and other officers sharing racist and homophobic messages, despite multiple requests from the public defender.
Stood by silently as $730 million was spent on moving inmates to for-profit private prisons.

And as cherry on the cake fully complicit in a horrible genocide, and you want to claim she would hypothetically be better in the future? LOL

You really disgust me. You are not better but worse.
It's the hypocrisy that bothers me most, at least one side has the balls to say they're fascists.
Unlike you cowardly worms pretending to be good while being absolute scum.
Hope you all get slow cancer.
