What if Alfred is guilty of genocide?
The US has sent at least 14,000 of its massive, highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs to Israel since October 7, report says. The fact that this doesn't seem to matter at all is damning, you don't even see the Palestinians as people.
What is the joker guilty of in this allegory? nothing?
Every alternative supports genocide. Either in Gaza or Ukraine (edit: or both)
I can name three who aren't: Cornel West, Jill Stein and Claudia De la Cruz.
Cool, come back when any of them have a single chance in hell of winning
They would if people didn’t vote against their own interests
I admire the optimism but the entire system needs to be reworked from the ground up and you know it
You think West and Stein care to stop Putin? Think again. Edit: their pro Putin stances may be worse than Trumps.
You think West and Stein care to stop Putin?
both have spoken out against his illegal invasion, so yes.
Biden has spoken out about atrocities in Gaza... words mean nothing. Both West and Stein want to side with Putin and give him everything he's stolen.
Both West and Stein want to side with Putin and give him everything he’s stolen
neither of them have said that.
If you support Stein make sure you don't look into her statements about Russia. It'll make it easier to continue supporting her.
“Russia’s invasion was a provoked response to the bigger, more murderous and illegal game plan of US empire - in which ‘overextending’ and defeating Russia is only one small part of the picture… In 2014 the US backed a coup in Ukraine led by far-right insurrectionists. The installation of the new government was a giant step towards the goal of adding Ukraine to NATO - and putting hostile bases and nuclear-capable missiles right on Russia's border.” – Jill Stein February 24, 2022
Should the U.S. provide military assistance to defend Ukraine from Russia? PUBLIC STATEMENTS "No, we should stay out of conflicts that do not directly threaten us"
the only place i can find your quote is in a far right think tank called "third way" and the link they provide does not have the full quote they claim she gave. can you provide a source with the full quote?
Note: this graph is from November 2023 (4,100 children killed), we are in July 2024 and it is much worse now in Gaza (over 15,000 children killed and hospitals are out of service and can't keep count), but you clearly don't see Palestinians as humans. To suggest that Putin is worse after more than 8 months of a genocide in Gaza is insulting.
It's unfair to compare Trump to the Joker. The Joker is a strategic and tactical and logistical genius, he didn't inherit his position from "Papa Clown Show" and pretend to be good at what he does.
I like how Democrats always frame this as the only two choices. They really, REALLY want to lose.
But due to the first-past-the-post system, these are the only two options. The primaries are when you choose the candidates, and the election is when you choose the winner of the candidates. That's the system you have. You really need to switch to a preferential voting system if you want to have more than two options in the presidential election.
The unstated choice is a different candidate for Dems. Joe ran in 2020 as...
....oh fuck nevermind.
It's way easier to run a campaign this way, though. Who wants to acknowledge that the US issues are structural and require solutions that would go against the lobbyists and donors' best interests?
You have a better solution for tens of millions of voters to organize behind in the next 4 months?
They had 4 years to light l find and line someone else up. Biden's age isn't a surprise that snuck up on anyone
Soooo no other solutions? Gotcha, I'll stick with the plan to vote Biden and let Harris take over if he steps down.
So as an individual you have 4 options:
1- vote for Biden: democrats maintain the current path as that's literally what's happening now
2- vote Trump: either they maintain their current path or democrats have to pivot
3- vote third party: if that party gets enough votes one of the main parties will catwr to the messaging of that party to take those voters in the next cycle as it's an easy win
4- don't vote: if enough people don't vote they'll cater more to them next cycle but that's harder to aim in the direction you'd want to promote.
Is that a good enough breakdown? So if I were to rank my options I'd go for 3,4,2,1

Joker for president!
Man, season 4 did him dirty. There was so much they could do to exploit this arc of his and instead treated it like an old joke.

But you also don't have Alfred as the one suiting up to fight the Joker either.

Or you could run someone who doesn't have their foot half in the grave.

A joker who is just as old as Alfred.*
It is going to be so funny when the election is over and all the people who are actually in power in the USA are still in direct power because it is a corrupt oligarchy run by international criminals and not an actual republic where you have meaningful say.
