i knew biden would be disappointing but fuck... not "incredibly horrible"

so, now the election is between incredibly horrible and unimaginably worse...

Love that americans are still worried about elections of all things as if anything other than organized violence will stop a capitalist government from committing genocide.

americans are too chickenshit and comfortable to do anything than complain. i wish we were more like the french.

I thought that was what the 2nd Armament was for, but apparently it's actually for killing school children.

Only the brown ones, but yes. See: Mulford act

The white kids who die are just an acceptable cost, I guess.

The #1 thing I've noticed this go round is how the best even the most dem pundits and supporters can come up with is "Yeah Biden does it but Trump will do it worse"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

I’m not even convinced that’s true when it comes to this issue. Trump, at least, narcissistically cares about what people think of him enough that he could maybe be swayed by public opinion. Biden has been a hardline Zionist his entire career and sees backing Israel to the hilt despite the public outcry as a moral imperative.

Besides, how do you get worse than eagerly aiding a genocide?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Eagerly aiding a genocide while also doing one at home, but you know biden wouldn't stop it if the fascists just did one, so he's not really better than trump OK that either.

At least if trump tries to genocide me, he'll be using poorly primed hierarchal power and you'll get a lot of mutinies. Like, a non-trump fasch genocide is blood in the streets, and I'm so fucking shit at that, so my odds are like 10% and its definitely a bad time. If trump orders it, There's a 50/50 chance the local air force base mutinies and flips on him because poverty draft, and I either get s hellfire missile or I don't.

when Trump was in office, liberals at least pretended to care. They took COVID somewhat seriously, masked up out of spite, they paid lip service to the BLM protests. These past 4 years they've truly gone back to brunch. maybe if ol' Mango Mussolini gets back in, they'll pretend to give a shit again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. I don’t know Trump would help this situation at all but it wouldn’t be this bullshit. That’s for sure. And I want to be very clear I do not and did not want a president trump.

Ttumo has explicitly said he thinks Israel needs to finish the job.

Jesus Christ, inform yourself before you say shit like this.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Trump says a lot doesn’t mean him or his party would be doing the same if they were in this role lol.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If you want to believe that Ttunp is lying to you about his feelings towards Palestinians, than there is nothing I can say to change your mind.

That is pure uninformed lunacy and you absolutely know better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think he wouldn't be as good at it, and there would be more public outrage.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

So... You think the path to ending the genocide is get Trump elected and continue complaining and just hope it goes well?

Hey we're not hungry enough yet. Violence is scary and we won't do it till we absolutely gotta. I mean we absolutely gotta but even as i know this I'm not picking up a gun yet, i still have a lot to lose. It's not like it's just here in the states, it's happening all over the western world. When will you decide to take up arms and take your life back?

I'm not attacking you, just putting you in my yankee shoes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Sufficiently grand disorganized violence or sufficiently organized property destruction could also work.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yup :(

I don't envy you Americans. Here in Canada we have our own set of idiots too and it almost always boils down to voting for the least worst person :(

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

democracy under capitalism = fascism in cosplay

no matter how much you organize, grassroots, and petition... evil bastards will steamroll your movements with cash, and add a little concession to whatever you were riling people up about...

then you get to vote for the guy pandering to you or the guy who isn't, but they'll both do the same shit... give more money to rich people any way possible.

Yeah you only have Conservatives to choose from. It sucks.
