Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

There seems to be some confusion. When I say leftwing policies, I’m referring to liberal democratic policies, universal healthcare, robust public transit, social equity, environmental protections and human rights. You think leftwing means authoritarianism, state violence and the suppression of human rights so I understand why you're upset that Harris doesnt have those policies.

If liberals ever start actually doing any of those, you can start calling them liberal policies. Liberals have fought for none of those as hard as they fought to make sure netanyahu got his genocidin' weapons. Liberals usually find just enough no votes, and if they cared at all about human rights, they wouldn't keep insisting that everyone vote for genocide.

Leftwing means the policies you listed that no centrist has ever wanted. Especially Harris.

You are dumb as rocks. Liberal Democracies around the world have already proven they are able to get that done. Trying to say that liberals fought hard for Weapon funding to Isreal is just beyond delusional.

Liberals love to take credit for the accomplishments of the left.

While slinging abuse.
