    I mean I’ll be voting for Biden mainly because Trump’s a dictator wannabe (you guys like that right?) and Biden has sorta done an okay job supporting Ukraine with military aid, which I also support. Abortion is on the ballot in my state so I will be voting to support that as well.

                  If you really felt this way you could try, I dunno, asking fucking questions?

                  Waltzing into a leftist space and flaunting how politically illiterate you are while being inflammatory and without asking earnest questions is such a ridiculous move to make and then complain when people got mad

                    I didn’t say I liked hexbear, I like Lemmy. I know it was originally made by communists or whatever but sadly for y’all it’s grown well beyond that origin story.

              I love to make unfounded claims about the politics of the people I’m talking to, and let them know how much I’m going to gloat about me being right and then being wrong, even though I admittedly don’t understand anything they’re saying.

              You are absolutely proud of your ignorance.

      Trump’s a dictator wannabe (you guys like that right?)

      Ah fuck, you got us. Superb dunk.

      How can it be that you guys are all writing the same tired dogbrained cardboard cutout milquetoast shit, yet you all think you’re somehow the first to do it? How can you be this much of a basicass lib and still think you have any unique or new thoughts to share? At least try, please. Spend like 20 minutes of effort learning what the viewpoint you’re critiqueing is, your dunks would be so much better. You guys never do though, and why? Are you afraid you might learn something?

        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don’t believe Ukraine is a fascist coup regime, in fact I think that’s a better description of Russia except the coup part, Putin just has total control anyway.

        Either way since you seem to support Russia I will just state how much I love seeing the significant material and personnel loss Russia is suffering in the invasion. It is astonishing how significantly Ukraine has degraded their capabilities and displaced their status as one of the best armies in the world, and I honestly cannot wait to see what Ukraine does next.

        I don’t know what my favorite part is, Ukraine destroying/disabling Russia’s entire black sea fleet (they are too scared to use their remaining ships since they have lost so many) or that Ukraine has removed 10% (maybe up to 15% so far https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-strikes-may-have-hit-15-russian-refinery-capacity-nato-official-2024-04-04/) of Russia’s refinery capacity with drone strikes, and that number will continue to grow.

            I doubt you will since you probably dislike me but check out the song Vicarious by Tool, read the lyrics.

            It’s funny you highlight Ukraine’s losses when Russia’s are significantly higher. Ukraine gets to fight for their land as long as Ukraine wants to, you don’t get to say “oh think of the Ukrainian children” like you care for them.

          Who gives a shit what you believe. Educate yourself before you open your mouth.
          The current government of Ukraine was literally installed via a coup in 2014. Do you not know your history? The US government hand-picked their stooges to run the place, a conversation between then assistant secretary of state victoria nuland and some other ghoul was leaked confirming this very thing https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-2607995
          Why do you think both Trump and Bidens corruption scandals were embroiled in Ukraine?

          Do not speak on things you do not know of. History didn’t start on October 7th nor did it start at the invasion of ukraine.

          The fact that you try to make this about Russia is only worse, you’re employing a poor rhetorical trick to misdirect the conversation to one of moral value with no relation to material analysis. No one here supports Russia, this a LGBTQ safe space you fucking idiot. We’re just not blind dogs for the US empire, uncritically cheering as hundreds of thousands are pointlessly thrown into a meatgrinder in order to sustain the imperialist west for a few meagre seasons more.

          Instead of trying for yet another poor dunk, try to employ your empathy or curiosity and consider (and then INVESTIGATE GODDAMMIT) why we might believe what we believe. You’re a fucking idiot if you think we’re cheering for Putin. Learn what critical support entails and learn why people argue that it is better NATO loses instead of Russia.

            Well I do appreciate some of the insight in this comment, I was under the impression hexbear supported Russia and I was confused about that given the state of LGBT rights there. I even considered making a post here asking that exact question!

            I’ll do some more reading on Ukraine’s current government but doubt my overall opinion on supporting them will change.

          Reality is not a Marvel movie, you bloodthirsty piece of shit. An entire generation of people is being slaughtered on both sides of this war and your reaction is that you love seeing the “personnel loss” which is just a liberal way of saying murdered people. This is why we hate liberals, you view human misery as entertainment.

      Of course you would support continuing the wars, it’s your favorite past-time, liberal. You claim people don’t care about foreign policy, and yet here you are, making a vote based on foreign policy.

      Yeah, yeah, we know what you care about. us-foreign-policy

        My understanding of what a liberal is is just the first paragraph on Wikipedia and I assume that’s not exactly what you think of as a liberal? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

        I’m not sure what I am politically, I’ve never given it much thought. I just vote based on who’s available to vote for and what they support specifically.

          On here we use global definition of liberal. This mean that they support private property, capitalism, current world system, and the bourgeois rule. They can want anything from the strict austerity to the social democracy. Liberalism is the official ideology of the United States Constitution. Every politician in the United States is a liberal. Two party system do not allow anyone who is not a liberal to run.

      If Trumps such an evil fascist why didn’t he go full Hitler in his first term?

      Why wouldn’t he just eat McDonalds and watch Fox all day in his second term like he did his first?
