It is against US law to provide weapons to forces who block United States humanitarian assistance. And that is exactly what is happening right now

You're viewing a single thread.
I know a man, a decent man, who said that “preventing genocide is an achievable goal, a goal that requires a level of government organization and engagement that matches in its intensity the brutality and efficiency required to carry out mass killing. Too often, these efforts have come too late, after the best and least costly opportunities to prevent them have been missed.”
The man that said that was then Vice-President and now President Joseph Biden. And he was right
Throwing his own words straight back into his ancient hypocritical face...
I thought I could still hold my nose when he went around Congress to fund the genocide, but then he went around Congress to stop aid for Palestinians and pushed for it to be included in the fucking budget.
Everytime Americans plead for help, Biden says he can't do shit. But when Biden wants something (like dead brown children) suddenly the president can get shit done on his own.
Fuck Biden, he was never going to win my state anyways, but still, fuck Biden for ending a 20 year streak of voting D for president.
I just can't support him especially knowing that even if I did, he ain't winning my state. I'd be sacrificing an incredibly low moral bar to do it for literally zero payoff.
Biden lost my vote when he told the American people he saw pictures of 40 beheaded babies.
I still have hope he can earn it back- but that would require a significant, unlikely change in foreign policy.
I always get impressed by how americans are like "yeah hes a genocidal ghoul but i can still vote on him"
"But guys, the other geriatric genocidal maniac scares me more, so we need to deepen the chokehold of this geriatric genocidal maniac, after all, we are all just voiceless slaves of the 2 ruling parties."
"We have guns to oppose a tyranical gov" or something
I don't have any guns. All I have is a vote. So I have to make sure that I don't encourage genocidal maniacs to be genocidal maniacs with that vote.
Most democratic system ever made?????????
What do you do when the overlords oppress you and won't listen to you?
You strike.
They get their heads out of their asses and start listening or the system burns and a new system emerges.
Some people even took their heads out of their necks. Way more efficient
Isn't that what the Palestinians tried?
probably a good idea to get armed and learn to shoot, with the way things are headed. Just a suggestion!
Nah. I'm trying to move away from war and genocide while there is still a glimmer of that possible.
I'd rather die a martyr than become my enemy.
Lol drawing moral equivalence between fascism and armed resistance to fascism?
People killing eachother.
That's the problem.
If noone killed anyone, noone would need to kill anyone.
While your idealism is enviable, it's also very nieve.
Yep, that's a tempban
Ugh...
Britta's in this?
- I can excuse genocide, but I draw the line at not voting Blue no matter who.
You can excuse genocide?
Tell me how Trump would handle this better than Biden.
Seriously the US needs to get rid of the two party system and add more diversity and options.
I agree. Ranked choice would help. But that's not the reality of the moment, so I chose to vote for the non-authoritarian.
