    I don’t know a single anarchist that ‘prefer the quietly fascist party over the openly fascist party’ most of them prefer to DA the military contractors that are party to the latest american-supplied genocide.

      Well, now you know one. Kamala is firmly against Netanyahu’s genocide, and I think after she’s no longer reliant on Joe for her campaign money and connections, she’ll be a bit more active about her opinions. She’s a good candidate. The DNC is moving in a good direction. It’s time to apply some positive reinforcement so they keep doing the good thing.

        The American supplied genocide which was the explicit policy of the Biden regime she was a part of. The administration that repeatedly bypassed congress to supply genocidal settlers with ammunition. Got it.

          If I waited for a candidate who’s perfect before I got invested, they would never come because the politicians would realise anarchists aren’t invested and don’t vote. I’m supporting an imperfect candidate who is better than anyone else we’ve ever gotten, because I’m hoping next time they choose someone even better.

          If you won’t reward your dog for doing a little trick, how’s it going to learn to do a big one?

            The actual analogy here is that you’re rewarding your dog for not doing any tricks, and expecting me to be so impressed by your ability to train your dog that I also decide to feed them treats for doing nothing

              For a dog who’s been trained for 50 years to support genocide, not supporting genocide is a pretty impressive trick. And Kamala doesn’t support genocide. Doing nothing deserves a reward.

                She’s literally second in command for the administration wringing its hands about the bodies piling up but continuing to send weapons and aircraft carriers to protect the colonial occupiers.

                Was dick cheney not part of the bush admins crimes?

                The one ‘anarchist’ who has managed to talk themselves into supporting american war criminals

                  So this eventually boils down to : you’re an american, so you are complicit too.

                  Which is not how it works (except in religious fanatism).

                    Was Dick Cheney complicit in Iraq /Afghanistan?

                    Im not playing degrees of Kevin bacon here, that’s why so many people have been shouting at Democrats to dial back the genocide, if they’re towing the line they’re complicit.

                  She’s not first in command. I’d volunteer to be guilty by association too if it meant I could stop the funding of genocide when the 80 year old kicks the bucket. Who knows, maybe she’s been slipping poison into his coffee. It’s what I’d do.
