I've said it before and I'll say it again. I detest loudly what is happening to the Palestinians. But people like you are willing to let their own nation fall into fascism for people half a world away. Letting Trump win will absolutely not help the Palestinians, and in fact could make things worse as a Trump-led administration tells the IDF, "Hey, need any help slaughtering civilians?"
This nation has fallen into fascism way before Trump. This nation is built on it. Arms dealer nation full of psychopaths who enabled the lesser of two evils until they got two choices of genocide on the ballot. It isn't harm reduction for the people who are already dead. Better put that energy into getting Biden to stop losing to a man calling himself a dictator.
So just let the world burn? Take the Black Pill and succumb to the end of the world? The end of all we know? The end of us? Coward. Raise your head and scream out against oblivion, cry out in defiance of fate. Where's your rage, your anger? You choose to go silently into that cold dark night, I however will go down kicking and screaming.
I've been having the same thoughts. I think liberals, especially white liberals, are scared of a Trump presidency because, for once, the fallout might come down on them. They don't have to be scared of a Biden presidency, because their lives can continue on as they have been. So then they attack you for saying that the US is already a fascist state, even though it already is for anyone who isn't white and straight.
You get it. Most of the saving of democracy comes down to being comfortability and not actual democracy or even fixing systematic issues. The saving democracy has terms and conditions anyway depending on who you are. My black experience isn't the same as theirs. I could vote for Biden and he still would increase police funding like he did last time.
Uhh
Please do not invoke my rights as an excuse to let Trump take away more of my rights. What the fuck.
This comment is so shitty and condescending and completely devoid of intelligence. It reads the same as "Please do not invoke my white privilege as an excuse to let Trump take away my white privilege." Liberals love to act like they care about issues but comments like these come off so self-centered. I don't live in some fantasy world where a second Trump presidency is better than a second Biden presidency, but liberals are so adamant that it has to be Biden. Why aren't liberals outraged that the DNC is forcing an unpopular candidate down our throats again? The most common response I see is "it's complicated" but it's not fucking complicated in the slightest, liberals just want to be comfortable and they'll gladly roll over and take it from anyone who promises them to at least use lube. Yes I'm talking about you.
