So um, the united states just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance...

You're viewing a single thread.
I hate that 2/3 of my fellow citizens support this, either directly or or tacitly by choosing not to vote.
I really hope the protest/non voters are happy with the outcome they chose. I can't wait to hear them tell me that Harris would have done this too! Anything to justify intentionally causing the suffering of more people....
Bombing the shit out of the Middle East is the only bipartisanism the US has ever reached, therefore yes, a Democrat would have had to bomb something because that's what US presidents do. Anyway, keep on blaming voters instead of holding the party accountable for its mistakes.
"Don't blame the voters who elected the president" is the sort of argument I'd expect from someone intentionally ignoring that he bombed nuclear sites.
BoTh SiDeS arguments are stupid and people who make them should be ignored. Like I said, anything to justify your bad choice.
Both sides arguments are actually pretty enlightened. You can have criticisms of both candidates and vote for harm reduction. If anything the inability to criticize both sides for where they are the same is the same type of belligerent as MAGA. Harris running on building a fucking wall was a fucking disgrace.
But fuck not blaming voters for their stupid fucking decisions and fuck the sham of a democracy the US electoral system is. FPTP and WTA elections in the modern age are a fucking disgrace as well as no equal representation and voting with money.
I didn't make a choice. I don't live in the US. But my country is strewn with US military bases and it wasn't Trump who put them there.
Trump is simply more ignorant about how a US president should bomb the shit out of Middle Eastern countries, but don't act like he invented anything.
And yes, on some things "both sides suck" because the US have been terrorizing other countries for decades.
They bring desolation and have the gall of calling it peace.
You are the problem please leave the country.
What a Trumpy thing to say.
Voting doesn't mean shit. I'm sick of arguing with bluemaga. Fuck it. Fight or get out. Stop blaming people who you think have a responsibility to lick your copmommy's boots.
If fighting fasch were so important, you should have made literally any compromise.
I’m sick of arguing with bluemaga
then don't.
Take your own advice and go fight or get out or whatever. Stop blaming people who you think have a responsibility to do whatever it is you think they should be doing for you and go do the thing yourself.
If fighting fasch were so important, you wouldn't be indoors on lemmy telling people to leave.
go fight
No that sounds scary. I don't want to go outside! There's robbers and stuff out there!
If fighting fasch were so important, you should have made literally any compromise.
Any compromise other than voting for the Democrats, you mean. Clearly that's a compromise too far for plenty here.
Or just any policy compromise. Don't suck so much billionaire dick, 20% less enthusiasm with the genocide, do something about the cops, whatever. I don't need everything.
I'm not the one who helped let a Nazi win. I'm doing what I can, but I can't change things with citizens who ignore how the system works and choose to sit out and let this shit happen.
You are. You continue. Please actually do something or leave.
How the system works
I don't think I'm the one who's been ignoring that.
Whitaker followed up, asking, “If Iran is building a nuclear weapon, would you take military action?”
“I’m not going to talk about hypotheticals at this moment,” said the vice president.
'voting is the only indicator of support'
You are the problem please leave this country.
No, voting is literally the least you can do, and that's too much for some people...
You mean the people getting gassed and beaten and locked in cages fighting these bastards?
Who've been getting shot and stabbed and run over by them in street fights for a decade or more?
Yeah. Couldn't be asked to lift a finger
That's not 'the least you can do' by any means, but good try at a lazy gotcha to someone who has been tear gassed at these kinds of protests for years.
Yes, voting is the least you can do. Protesting is a very good tactic, but choosing to disregard political opportunities tells me you're not really worth listening to.
Have fun playing computer warrior, kid, I'm tired of you.
Does that mean you'll leave?
Protests
I also meant literally fighting these bastards, you know ; the Nazi gangsters?
It's literally the least you can do, less than literally anything else, and doing the least possible is not good enough.
You don't get to wash your hands because you voted for Kodos. Has Harris even come out against bombing Iran?
