killing the vibes

[toastykitten]

This is my politics stuff dump - I am absolutely going to kill the vibes for a minute here:

That Kamala Harris is making no change in policy on Israel from Biden, and refusing to consider even halting arms to Israel while bemoaning what happens to Palestinians as a result of us arming them is reprehensible, repugnant, and immoral.

That Kamala Harris is going all out on focusing on "securing the border" which is just politician-speak accepting the rightwing racist framework of immigrants as boogymen is also reprehensible, repugnant, and immoral.

That the Democratic Party is taking out opposition to the death penalty, adding language that signals the possibility of picking a fight with Hezbollah, and moving rightward with regards to criminal justice and police, and honestly, downright predictable.

I am so tired. I just want someone with basic morals to be the leader, someone who opposes genocide when they see it, and takes actions to stop it.

I guess that's too fucking much to ask of this country.

Yeah, and I am getting awful tired of Bernie toeing the Dem Party line and rah rahing for Harris. He manages to say that he is in favor of ending all aid to Netanyahu's government and this disgusting, genocidal war. But he gives her a free pass on it. I get it, Trump is worse and Project 2025 would be a nightmare. But Harris is shit, and tons of youth and people who HAVE morals and passion are not going to vote for her.

It's all just very demoralizing. And demotivating.
