Lol. This is the party they want to replace 'genocide joe' with. Well done, kids!
Yes but see, if we just sit on our hands and don't vote we won't have any responsibility for what follows! Only voting for someone who is less than ideal on this issue is a morally bad choice!
I totally understand the point most of them are trying to make and agree with the sentiment, but they're fucking morons. 100% absolute jibbering idiots.
This is an ugly binary choice here because the United States electoral system is a steaming pile of horse shit. Do what I, your friendly neighborhood lefty, am doing and swallow your pride and vote for center right Joe Biden because he's leagues better than the dementia-addled, fascist Cheeto Benito. Then take all the disgust you've built up by voting for and living with another neoliberal corporate shill presidency and work your ass off to make sure we don't have to keep voting between Dumb and Dumber every fucking election.
Do it because we'll only be gently tiptoeing to the right under a Biden presidency, so it's less likely you'll end up in jail for discussing the "wrong" political ideology while that orange shitstained merkin would have me in jail just for writing this were it up to him. Don't make it up to him.
I would like to solve your trolley problem with multi track drifting please
That's only worked a handful of times, long ago.
You do realize that "less than ideal" is probably an inadequate way to describe Joe funding a genocidal apartheid, right?
It's astonishing to me how comfortable you are with fascism, provided it wears a blue jersey.
I'm gonna vote for Biden if I have to rise from the dead and crawl through broken glass to do so, and I hope everyone reading this thread does.
I'm not willing to pretend he's not facilitating an ongoing genocide though.
I'm not.
I'm not American nor in the US.
Lucky you lol
Not really. I'm in Northern Ireland and my vote does fuck all to affect who's elected UK Prime Minister. The current governing party runs candidates here but they've never won a seat and their closest competitors don't run any candidates at all here. Never mind I live in a stronghold seat so it won't change anyway.
Who makes you pretend that? You guys all want a medal for preaching to the choir?
The Democratic party expects their members to pretend that what's happening in Gaza is not a genocide. They censured Rep Tlaib for saying so in Congress.
Or, it's actually not.
This. You deal with the choice in front of you, and not the ones you wish you had. Life is bigger than our little worlds.
It would be nice if people actually knew what they were talking about though. Biden is REQUIRED by a law that was put in place years ago to provide Israel with weapons.
Oh get out of here with your facts. The kids are having a circlejerk. They weren't born at the time. They can't be expected to know these things.
Propagandists are so funny. It’s like…. You make shit up that can’t be proven, verified, or is otherwise even remotely realistic, and then you pretend it’s real to the point that you’re willing to argue it online with total strangers.
It’s blows my mind how this is done.
I never said he was a great candidate. I simply said that propagandists seem to have it out for Biden.
Surprising they’re always silent with their criticism of anything from the right.
Ever wonder why?
Because preaching to the choir is a waste of time.

She reminds me of an alcoholic friend I had in college. Telling you to stop doesn't mean I hate you. It means you're making bad decisions.
I'm not defending Biden, but the view that Trump would be any less prepared to keep sending Israel weapons is utterly baseless. He wouldn't even pretend to care about the Palestinians, for one thing.
spoiler
asdfasfasfasfasOk, but Trump literally said he deports anybody who protests Israel
How is this better than Joe, who says that Isreal will lose us support if they don't stop and prioritize civilian safety in their attacks?
^^ That is a heaping pile of BULLSHIT.
the point is not to make more people vote trump (everyone who is morally bankrupt enough will do that anyway)
the point is FUD, so that biden voters stay home (good for trump) or vote 3rd party (which would be valid if it weren't a first past the post system)
Where were you when the other hundred genocides around the world happened?
Russia only cares about two of them. One of them is reliant on a Trump victory, and the other is to ensure it happens.
Yeah, those stupid kids should just realize that one constant in America is that we kill or enable the killing of children. They should just accept that children will be killed in their name and get over themselves like us grown ups.
No, it isn't.
We want to replace Genocide Joe with the Greens.
Unfortunately most American voters lack a conscience, so it's not going to happen.
If you actually want to attract people to your cause, you may want to consider changing your tone. It could also be beneficial to mention some positive things about the candidate that you recommend instead of just bashing the current regime.
This is the faction a lot of our elected leaders think should be 'strong'.
