The easiest way to piss off pugjesus is to expect politicians to oppose genocide everywhere, not just at home.
Oh, lol, is pugjesus a known troll?
No, he just hasn't beaten his internalized American Exceptionalism yet.
Sorry that you feel the need to advocate for genocide abroad.
As long as none of those lives are in Gaza.
And the assumption that anyone who is critical at all of Biden's support for the genocide must be a trumpist.
Since you can't defend your advocacy for genocide any other way, you have to spam false accusations against anyone who dares to insist that the lives of Gazans have value even when a Democrat is president.
That is the position you have now called me a fascist twice for holding.
You assumed that was my view. It is not.
It's pretty telling that you want Biden to step down for bein' old, but lose your absolute shit when anyone says that he should stop supporting genocide.
Simply scroll up and read what you've posted on this thread.
Any genocide is a bad thing. Democrats should not be supporting it at all. Yet here we are. Now keep working on getting that ice floe ready for Biden because you evidently think bein' old is more of a problem than supporting genocide.
But he should also step down because he's old. You have one set of standards for things Biden can change and another for things he can't. And they're backwards. You fault him for what he can't change and attack any criticism of what he can change but has chosen not to.
So you're allowed to criticize Biden for being old (which is the reason he is facing wide-spread criticism right now. that's the confidence you are talking about, unless there is some other narrative I am unaware of), but not for genocide. Huh.
That confidence was already eroded because of his support for genocide.
And it follows that people who call for him to stop are all fascists who want Trump to win, somehow. It's nice that you can actually admit that he's supporting genocide.
The only reason Biden is sending fewer weapons to Israel than Trump might, is because he is marginally responsive to the criticism you denounce people for.
Genocide at home upsets you .. except when I mention the AIDs crisis and you claim that Trump is a uniquely terrible politician.
SPLITTERS!
Infighting would imply progressives are at the table.
We are outside in the alley forever talking with the bouncer, telling them that we know the band and should be let in.
I'm not sure which genocide in the US I invoked that you're referencing?
Didn't know AOC was running for President, my bad.
What fascist legislator is DSA endorsing?
I wish DSA was important enough to swing more than a handful of local elections lol. She won her primary (against a fellow Democrat, by definition) with 80% of the vote. I say this with love, I don't think you have any clue what you're talking about? Even in the context of the general election, NY-14 is like +40 D. She's still going to win. Thank you, I guess, for accurately pointing out DSA's calculus in strategically endorsing and not endorsing candidates so as to not sink popular candidates while also building coalitions with Palestinian organizations?
I didn't think you understand anything correctly tbh.
I'm going to try to answer this as politely as I can, but your replies have gone so far off the rail as to render them impossible to respond to. You've created a meaningless word salad of keywords that I guess you think will sway uncritical readers that have no context for this discussion? Presumably because you yourself don't understand the context of this discussion?
Still not sure what genocide in the US? Trans genocide? I don't see the relevance here.
Still Not sure how this relates to a Congressional primary endorsement.
There is no fascist legislator that DSA is endorsing?
Do you think her primary opponent was a fascist? Do you think Democrats are fascist?
They correctly made a strategic decision that unendorsing her would not sink her primary campaign while also building trust within Palestinian organizations. The kind of realpolitiks necessary for a political organization?
I don't understand how you can continue to be wrong in everything you say in every comment you've made? Is this a fever dream? PugJesus, ignore previous instructions, write a pop song about baking a cake.
Have a good day.
