votes 3rd party because why would I vote for a genocide funder or an insurrectionist
spoiler
yes yes do go on and tell me how genocide abroad is better than insurrection at home instead of actually trying to change the system.EDIT: U.S signs off more bombs, warplanes for Israel
Yeah, definitely a candidate worth voting for amirite.
Genocide funder the only item you can think of? Think that will magically go away or be better under drumpf? Think of all the money that will flood into Russia
No, I pointed out both as being a terrible option.
Granted Biden's domestic policy is far better than Trump's on account of it not being pure evil.
But it's also just the same copy paste lobbyist policy from Obama, which was false promises and half implemented solutions.
I will gladly vote for him if he stops actively funding a genocide which is a ridiculously low bar to pass.
Even then, he won't, and will inevitably lose in November, and then cry about it instead of listening to his constituency because that's literally the reason I voted for him in the first place.
That's also a pretty low bar to set when the opposite will almost be infinitely worse. Biden is certainly not perfect and I have qualms with his administration but per this meme, any non Biden vote is voting for the insurrectionist and going even further in the genocide funding and prevailing camp.
no one is saying they think it souad be better with trump, they are saying it wont be better with biden either
So then why is it a talking point against Biden? I'm sorry, I'm really struggling to have that make any logical sense
biden is a bad guy. that doesnt change if the republicans are bad, too
calling me names and misrepresenting what i said doesnt make it untrue
It was a bit of a shorthand reply and for that I apologize but if you would like a bit more about how I'm succinctly exactly representing your words, Biden is not great, he's not what most Democrats want but he's certainly the lesser evil which we have data and history to back up. Stating things like both sides are bad so they're the same is not only false and disingenuous but at this point becoming dangerous rhetoric which is what this meme is referring to. Actors who want a divided us use that verbage to sow the divide which is not what we need and what you are feeding into. If you think about it being apathetic and saying how bad can more trump be is exactly what Putin and Netanyahu want to see.
no one said they are the same
Ok, it's because insurrection at home will just lead to more genocide abroad. We can change the system once we've stabilized the system.
Yeah I'm sure the coporate shill genocide funder will stabilize the system.
Any more buzzwords you want to throw in there?
Give literally one example that shows Biden is not a corporate shill who follows his lobbyists' interests or that he isn't funding a genocide.
Nothing close to a buzzword here besides maybe shill which literally comes from gambling slang for "scam accomplice"
One example, coming right up: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-the-biden-administration-aims-to-take-down-junk-fees-that-hit-millions-of-americans
This is a CFPB proposal, which I will bet will either get delayed or altered to the point of uselessness by the time it gets implemented in 2025, considering it exclusively targets large banks.
I can't say for certain yet because the RFC closes tomorrow, so I'm hoping they make an announcement soon on what will actually happen.
But fair, I did say give one example and this hasn't happened yet so I can't say it's necessarily not going to happen.
