But "genocide Joe", tho, amirite protest / non-voters???
Yes, Butcher Biden enabled the genocide. This outcome is because Biden sent Israel the bombs that destroyed Gaza. You can and should oppose both.
The Biden administration vetoed multiple ceasefires at the UN. Voted against Palestinian sovereignty. Sent Israel thousands of bombs. Provided the legal, political and media cover for Israel to commit the genocide over a 15 month period.
Dig a deeper hole. You clearly never cared to oppose the genocide when Biden was president. You just want to settle scores.
Edit:
I don’t know those who downvoted this is it because they deny the genocide or deny the Democratic Party’s complicity in it? Either way clearly you are no allies if you oppose Trump’s plans but not Biden’s actions. Good luck in 2028, none of us are ever returning to the Democratic Party.
Yes, but Trump has said what he wants to do clearly and was happy about it, instead of frowning and wagging his finger while sending the weapons and publishing the propaganda. If Biden was supporting this, his complicity would be debatable.
Choices were either bad or much, much worse, and you chose the latter, sooooooo........congrats on your moral posturing that fucked Palestinians even worse!
Idk why I bother, but Biden's main goal was the hostages which is why he canceled the ceasefire. Yes he sucks but he wasn't per se for the genocide, he was for getting the hostages released as his main goal. Which arguably Israel was using their own people in Gaza as proxy hostages, bombing them and threatening to kill them unless the US kept giving them money, creating a reincarnation of the Iran Contra hostages that lost Carter the election. Notice that Netanyahu and Trump are buddies and Netanyahu vastly prefers Trump to Biden.
Sick meme bro, is it an NFT you bought with crypto while rolling to the gym in your SwastiTruck?
Genocide joe, genocide Trump. Enjoying the company you keep blue conservative?
Why is it that you relish in the fact that other Americans are unrepresented by their options in the voting booth? Do you hate democracy?
There is a better way. One in which people are free to vote for who best represents them. Are you working to give these people the freedom to vote for who they want? Or are you waiting to scream at people to vote for your preference.
Here are some helpful videos to show you that the democrats don't have to be the only opposition to the republican party. I would say the democrats have more then lost their privilege to go it alone at the republicans.
Videos on Electoral Reform
First Past The Post voting (What most states use now)
Videos on alternative electoral systems we can try out.
STAR voting
Alternative vote
Ranked Choice voting
Range Voting
Single Transferable Vote
Mixed Member Proportional representation
A two party system is only one away from a one party state.
I can't grok much of what you're saying, seems to be mostly in response to some strawman you've conjured, as most/all of it doesn't make sense in response to what I said.
Cool, hit me up when you can get state legislatures to agree to that shit.
In the meantime I'll be voting for the Dem party precisely because of the reason(s) your linked videos on voting systems say it's dumb to not vote for one of the two parties in a first past the post system.
Evil has many faces, sometimes funding a genocide, other times advocating ethnic cleansing.
Spare me. Dems are as evil as Republicans.
No, they aren't. They never did this:

And he's got the Silk Road guy and Andrew Tate helping him - they are going to traffick us to other country for slave labor and parts and steal our money and land.
He's already trying to make it a crime to be mentally unwell, and has made up a fake mental illness called "Trump Derangement Syndrome,"/TDS which is basically anyone who isn't in his cult and disagrees with him. Dems not only didn't do this, they COULDN'T do this.
Dems also are not anti-abortion and all the cruelty that leads to.
Yes, Neoliberalism is bad and ruining our country too. But it's not NEAR as bad as full blown fascism, please learn some political literacy, you're killing us all with your inability to see nuance and distinctions.
Cool story, much edgy
LOL... seriously? He sponsored killing approx. 70k Palestinians and his admin continually vetoed UN resolutions calling for a ceasefire, yet you're bitter at voters that didn't want to vote for Kamala "couldn't think of anything I'd do differently" Cheney. You lost the moral high ground my dude.
Lol yeah, fucking seriously, you people are un-fucking-believable, have zero respect or patience with your shot, get fucked.
K
Hmm should I choose getting shot in the face or kicked in the balls?
The Palestinians chose that they didn't want Democrats paying & sending weapons to people to massacre them. Sad that is what you want to do.
No it's sad that you're blind to pragmatic approaches to our reality.
That's obviously not what I want to do. But I'm like 90% you're part of an ongoing psy op to split votes away from Dems to help the GOP win elections and suppress votes through apathy. So what does it matter anyways I'm just spitting into the wind writing this or any replies to you.
I am part of a psyop called humanity. I don't want people being okay with Democrats supporting and funding massacre of innocent people, many of them kids. I don't want to see Republicans win elections any more than you, but that is the natural process of people not being enthusiastic to vote when you are justifying supporting genocide.
If Democrats want to win elections next time around then they should start talking about how they'll honor the ICC arrest warrant and how they intend to sanction Israel. However, I'm fully prepared for you to explain why they can't do that just like you explained away them funding genocide. Democrats need more than Trump Bad.
I don't think I should need to explain the principles of harm reduction and pragmatism to you. Short version is it would have been better for Palestinians if Democrats won the presidential election.
Politics just doesn't work the way you're wanting it to. Sorry that I would rather cast a vote for a lesser evil than burn my vote and let an even worse outcome be manifest.
So you know what is better for Palestinians than Palestinians do? Haven't we heard this before throughout history and acknowledged it is racist?
Do I know that a Harris admin would be better for Palestinians than Trump and what's happening now? Yes, yes I do.
Then I guess Kamala Cheney should have done more to distance herself from Biden other than saying, "can't think of anything I'd do differently."
What are your thoughts on harm reduction? Should we choose the thing that hurts more people or fewer people?
Who is we to you? We chose already. You don't get to choose for other people.
They didn't say they would choose for others. They are asking what you think about harm reduction. That you responded in bad faith reveals a lot about you
Dude that doesn't even make sense as a response to the comment above it. Stop wasting your own time? Go do something fun.
