Lol. This is the party they want to replace 'genocide joe' with. Well done, kids!

[–] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 98 points 10 months ago (8 children)

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'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.

Behold, the moderate Republican.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 64 points 10 months ago (8 children)

FYI: Most of those braindead “am I not allowed to criticize Biden???” comments and posts on social media are a concerted effort by right-wingers from /pol and other such sewers, trying to get people to not vote against Trump. Don’t fall for it. These aren’t “lefties” or “tankies”. Just downvote, report, and ignore.

[–] fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe they're involved, but a much bigger player pushing that line of reasoning is the Kremlin. They want to get Trump elected again so he cuts aid to Ukraine.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (3 children)

And work to undermine NATO.

Lemmy is fucking FULL of them. Every other post is some Israel / Genocide Joe bullshit.

If you didn't know any better you'd think Joe is literally flying a bomber over Gaza right now.

It's getting tiresome even down voting this crap.

Why WHY would Joe Biden sign off on providing Nikki Haley with PERMANENT MARKERS!

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

An incredible oversight. How can he recover from this?

How can they say they love Israel but also say Jews run everything and be generally negative towards Jews here?

"Doublethink is a process of indoctrination in which subjects are expected to simultaneously accept two conflicting beliefs as truth, often at odds with their own memory or sense of reality. Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy."

Edited to add:

It's a common tactic with fascist regimes. Nazis used to do it with Jewish propaganda by simultaneously claiming that Jews were weak vermin that needed to be exterminated and that they are this supervillain that controls all the money.

You currently see it a lot with the people chanting "Genocide Joe" and claiming he is some mastermind warhawk with at the same time claiming that he is some feeble, senile old man. He's Schrödinger's politician!

Moderate by GOP standards. Moderately less of a nazi or something like that

[–] TotalFat@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

She's not even that. She went full Nazi when she called for the culling of the American people. Gas chambers and concentration camps.

She was ambassador to the UN. The Republicans and Likud together constitute the new Nazi party. Nationalist Zionists.
