Go ahead and vote against Biden in the November election then too. When Trump's Nazi Regime is rounding up Muslims to put in camps, at least you will have stuck it to Biden.
I fully don't get why people are reacting so much to this. Why the fuck shouldn't I vote against Biden in the primary? He's going to be the nominee regardless, this is exactly the time for Democrats to get out those protest votes.
see definition #2
Biden will win the popular vote by a record-breaking amount, 100%; there is no question about that. However, the United States does not elect a president in accordance with the popular vote.
Biden can lose the electoral college at the fringe, which is literally every other metric. If you care about the presidency, care about the fringe; and do everything possible to shore it up.
It’s good to see comments like this getting upvoted. It gives me hope that lemmy isn’t a lost cause.
oh God I got banned from subs in lemmy.ml for saying this. It really made people angry.
there is a huge portion of the population who think like toddlers and just say "NO!", cross their arms, and fall to the floor.
Yep. Actively arguing with them now on another thread.
there are sensitive people in lemmy.ml who sort by new comment and hit the F5 button every 5 seconds. they have no life and are waiting to pounce. pretty much substitute "communist" with "Facebook Evangelical" and it's the same thing.
Yep. Had a few accounts there before I knew what it was. One got banned for suggesting that responding to everting with memes is juvenile.
Deleted all of them and moved elsewhere.
I joined there because it was the devs' instance. Had no idea what "ML" meant. I lasted only a couple months before it was explained to me that I'm actually a horrible racist for supporting Ukraine because, trust me, Russia is totally an Asian country and so if you don't support Russia, you're racist against Asians. That was when I woke up and realized that we were dealing with people no different than Sovereign Citizens. They've figured out their special words and magic phrases in just the same way,
Worse: I'm actually very sympathetic to the concept of socialism in general and communism. But these people would rather be right at all costs than swell their numbers.
The solution is to put someone objectively worse in charge then?
If you think the Biden administration is "literal Nazism", your opinion is less than worthless. Read a goddamned history book.
What does this look like to you?
NSFL
Looks like Nazi shit to me.
That looks like a crime against humanity, but that doesn't make it Nazi shit.
Seriously. Read a goddamned history book before you ignorantly go off with stupid takes like this. Comparing atrocities that are committed in war to Nazi shit cheapens the comparison and makes you look like an uneducated fool.
Looks like I'm the only person reading history books here.
You’re the only one spreading misinformation and propaganda.
oh man. I did not realize the biden SS was doing this!!! I somehow thought this was happening from the actions of a completely different country. oh man total nazism from biden for sure /s /S lucifer J satan on a toothpick
Do people actually believe that Israel is the United States or do troll games just not put in any effort
People believe Biden bypassed congress to give israel weapons which they are committing Genocide with.
While israel was already committing Genocide.
Biden did not bypass Congress in the sense that Congress would have in any way blocked it, just slightly increased the speed that it happened. What was sold in that deal (anti tank missiles) are not being used in Palestine but are a deterrent for Israel against Iran escalating due to isreals deplorable genocide. The headlines make it seem like anti personal weapons to be used in their genocide but that's not what those are but no one ever thinks about any nuance at all or (gasp) reads the articles.
The deal was tank and mortar shells. The primary ammo used to destroy buildings and commit Genocide with in Gaza. Not anti tank missles.
Biden bypasses Congress to sell tank shells to Israel amid further fighting in Khan Younis
They are anti tank shells. Click bait reporting just says tank shells to make people think exactly what you are claiming. https://www.npr.org/2023/12/09/1218407156/israel-tank-ammunition-sale-gaza-congress-state-department
This is your link.
This is my link
120 mm High Explosive Anti-Tank Multi-Purpose with Tracer tank cartridges
a) They are M830 tank shells
These are the tank shells that israel uses in Gaza to blow up buildings and commit Genocide with in Gaza (and burn israelis to crisps in Kibbutzes). An anti-tank round means it's strong enough to blow up a tank, not that it can only blow up tanks.
b) Those are shells not missles. Anti Tank missiles imply something like a ATGMs.
No. It’s not. This is blatant misinformation.
It's like you are denying the Holocaust is happening when it's blasted on your TV.
