A screen shot of twitter post, with a video. Lazy.

Not OP, but here's the original tweet with the video on a nitter mirror:

someone is going to screenshot this post, with your comment in it, and post it

For all the people that insist that both sides are exactly the same - ask yourself why it is that people that are overtly racist, anti-semitic (not anti-Israel; those aren't the same thing), homophobic, christian nationalist, etc. all vote Republican.

I like to put it so the MAGAts understand - "Not all Republicans are white supremacists, but all white supremacists are Republican"

ask yourself why it is that people that are overtly racist, anti-semitic (not anti-Israel; those aren’t the same thing), homophobic, christian nationalist, etc. all vote Republican.

There's no shortage of racism among Democrats, particularly at the voter level. California has a super-abundance of liberal voters, despite being awash in police violence and the epicenter of some of the cruelest forms of slum clearance. NYC municipal and state leadership have demonstrated an unfathomable appetite for cruelty towards their communities of color and of LGBTQ.

To say this is a purely Republican problem, you have to ignore everyone in the party from Joe Manchin to Lori Lightfoot to Biden himself.

Sad you are getting downvoted. This isn’t a boo both sides suck situation it’s a morality issue with white Americans.

Clearly the republicans are much much worse but denying and ignoring democrats biases entrenches the problem imo.

He says it correctly, they copied it down wrong, thankfully

[–] [email protected] 44 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

He didn't write the line, but somebody did and it's very powerful. I hope they got paid a lot for it, and I hope it lands.

Leftist-infighting aside, governance does actually matter, and you utter infuriating arseholes are still my brothers in this. I hope we find a way through, and I know a single individual won't be responsible for it if we do.

Fuck all of you, me too, love you.

Reads almost like song lyris

Some of those that work forces

Are the same that burn crosses

Every time that Ku Klux Klan has been involved,
they wore hoods, so
they are not identified.

Under Trump's presidency,
they come out of those woods.
with no hoods,
knowing
they have an ally."...

Instinctively read that out RATM-style.

He's still doing genocide y'all.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 9 months ago (2 children)

He's not doing genocide, depending on your viewpoint he might not be doing enough to stop it up to abetting genocide but he's not Netanyahu. Stick to the facts and don't pretend Israel doesn't have agency.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago (3 children)

This is one of our resident MAGA propagandists, so they will not be doing anything of the sort. It's questionable if they are even able to do anything of the sort.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

It's really nice that people on Lemmy are finally picking up on this.

He's directly supplying the genocide. Israel would have run out of bombs by now.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (8 children)

Israel is one of the largest exporters of military equipment in the world, they wouldn't have run out of bombs by now.

Ok, and it'll be genocide here and there under Trump. Until you can provide a solution, stop whinging about the choices that are forced on us.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (4 children)

Silence is support and I am not a genocide supporter. The least you could do is fucking speak out.

Biden isn't even running for president. How the fuck does it matter if I point out he's an evil piece of shit?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (9 children)

You do not have to like it or support it, but the option you are presenting gives you no control.

If you want to sit out in the rain and complain about the rain, that's your lookout. I will take the action that is most likely to possibly lead to less genocide.

By that I mean voting in people who are at least pretending to listen to my desires. Even if in the short term it doesn't solve the problem.

So would trump. I hope the high from your farts equals the high ground you feel like you have.

And what outcome do you have from voting that isn't genocide? You either have implicitly helping genocide through weapons or explicitly helping by backing Israel no matter what and getting US troops involved. And not voting is just helping the latter side. It sucks and we definitely need to protest more and apply pressure how we can but there aren't really that many choices for us through voting.
