silence7How can I vote for Kamala Harris if she supports Israel’s war? Here is my answer | Bernie Sanders
GrymEdmThis is persuasion done correctly. “I understand how you are feeling. Israel’s crimes and US support should be important to all of us. You aren’t wrong to feel like you do, and I sympathize. That being said, listen to why it’s important to participate.” No insults, readily apparent empathy, and a sound argument.
People have been doing exactly that since back when we were trying to somehow get Biden to win.
The message isn’t the thing. It is the speaker. And this is why celebrity endorsements matter.
Barnie endorsed Hillary too. Fat lot that did. My progressive friend still wrote his name in on the ballot.
Luckily my friend is done fucking around. But seems like a lot of the “leftist” vocal minority here on Lemmy want the rest of us to pay the “find out” tab for them again.
