Trump wants to be dictator and is talking about a third term and you dipshits still keep on with your divisive nonsense meant to push people into political apathy. Lol this site's political discourse has been completely hijacked by bad-faith, blame Dems at all costs bullshit.
To those not acting in bad faith, you should vote Biden because at least you know he will peacefully step down when his term is up. Trump will try more J6 style violence to stay in power. Could you imagine 20 years of Trump, or if he appointed one of his kids president?
Pull your head out of your ass and vote Biden.
ITT: you're a Trump supporter if you call genocide genocide.
There's a lot of people who plan on voting Biden, myself included, who effectively feel held hostage at this point. "Don't criticize support for genocide or Trump is going to destroy the country and probably kill a lot of people" is probably one of the most frustrating political discourses I've ever experienced. The folks making this argument are right in that Trump winning is bad for everyone, including the Palestinians, and I can empathize with the pragmatism there. That said, that argument rings hollowly for me, because it comes across as so utterly cynical. It reads (to me) as though genocide registers at the same level of urgency as dysfunction at the DMV. They're sorry for the inconvenience (and probably they really are sorry that it's happening) but non-combatants getting starved, shot, drone striked, and buried under rubble by our allies is just not something that's convenient to deal with right now. I wonder if they think the Palestinians find it very convenient.
I deleted this comment because I realized I don't actually wanna take part in an extremely tribal ethno-religious debate. I'll just say the following things everyone should agree on:
- Any government anywhere that holds one ethnicity or religion above another is fundamentally wrong and oppressive
- Everyone who minds their own business has a right to be safe from violence
- Maximizing good things and minimizing bad things is good, obviously. But this also applies to voting.
Tik Tok or whatever needs to start teaching the children the actual history of the US so they realize we don't get to vote for not killing children in this country. Fewer children, sure. And we might even pretend to be sad about it.
But if you don't want to vote for child killing you're gonna have to move because no matter who you vote for it's going to happen in your name.
@PugJesus@lemmy.world cough cough
That fucker is making it a challenge I'll give him that. Just shut up about it, that's all he has to do. Shutting up about genocide is how we've ignore genocides across the world for the last 50 years. It works. Most people don't even know Jimmy Carter helped carry out a genocide. Jimmy fucking Carter. Just don't talk about and Americans will immediately forget. So Biden please shut the fuck up. Join the fraternity of every president of the last well all of our history in committing genocide that isn't well-publicized.
I don't know what the shit happened but I think we would like a different candidate. Like it would be cool to seek mini thermonukes after the Hamas leaders but wow, they went all out and we're at the point where Hamas is the victim and needs defending. It's like meeting your bully after school, so he shows up and punches you, but then you body slam his face on granite and beat it with a 10ft 2x4...lengthwise.
Maybe we should try someone else. Oh wait, I forgot! We the people don't pick a president. We just tell the government who would be cool if they were president. Then the government asks a small group of unknown people who were not elected if they agree or if they got a way better president for us instead. You know, representative democracy like that.
But nah not maga dufus. It's gotta be someone in their mid 30s for me please.
All these Democrats who expend all their energy into convincing people to vote for their ghastly candidate, yet won't lift a finger to pressure him, the sitting president, to change course on supporting a genocide
One supports Israel no matter what and the other supports Israel no matter what and wants LGBT people dead, tried to overthrow our government, killed over a million americans by ignoring epidemiologists' warnings and guidance about dealing with covid and packed the supreme court resulting in women losing rights restored to them 50 years ago. Dont fucking tell me the two are the same.
