i can’t even imagine the thought process.
“you better vote for us or else we’ll let the other guy do even more genocide!!!”
???
maybe this is going too far but it honestly surprises me americans don’t assassinate their politicians more often
The lack of political violence in the us has always astonished me.
Theres plenty of political violence in the US actually. Just not directed at our politicians unfortunately
Relative to how much other violence is normal in this shithole it definitely is astonishing how people only go after soft targets. A nation of cowardly bullies
The one that really gets me, like really really, is the cop shoot so many people’s dogs every day and no one ever goes John Wick on the cops about it. That’s weird. There’s something cultural going on there that merits study and dissection.
Same with the people who self immolate. Not trying to be crass, but if you have an opportunity to take one of the fuckers pushing you to self immolate with you, do it.
You only get one folks, don’t waste it
it’s like their whole thing, you know? or at least it’s supposed to be but they never do it! as a staunch fan of political violence it’s very frustrating to me.
The majority of
’s are taken care of well in advance.

that was over 60 years ago! do it again already!!!
was as farce, right?
They’re too busy reaping the benefits of imperialism to give up their treats… or at least they think they’re still benefiting.
Do we still say “treats” here?
Yes we still treatposting. Third worldists have the upper hand nowadays
Why do people think the lifelong zionist will kill less Palestinians than the cheeto?
Holy shit, dude. I legit can’t believe they’re actually making this argument. I understand it’s the best thing that they can say, but if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to just not say it, and focus on other stuff? I know they’re doing that, too, but to go here at all… Jesus. It looks so bad, even for them.
Fixed
“Bro, the same number of people who are going to get killed regardless of which option you chose.”
“No, it’s different - see under Biden they’re going to get killed at a slower rate so it’s going to feel like it’s the more acceptable of the two options.”
“But the same number of people are going to die!!”
“You people are so unwilling to come to a reasonable compromise. No wonder we’re never going to make any progress in this country when there’s people like you who make unrealistic demands of the Democratic party. Don’t you understand that Trump is worse?”
literally
gonna make a comment that doesn’t call for

If you are a liberal or progressive who plans not to vote in November over the Biden administration’s support of Israel in the Gaza conflict, you are a fucking moron. Abstaining from voting is the same as handing Trump your vote, because I guarantee conservatives won’t miss this election for the world.
:ole-reliable:
(we should get an ole reliable emote)
Biden is trying to pump the brakes, trump will encourage them to wipe out palestine.\
do liberals actually think this? like they actually think biden saying “they gotta stop!” and then sending in another shipment of bombs counts as him “pump(ing) the breaks”?
Heres the thing, bidens foot is nowhere near the brakes. Hes in the passenger seat at best. Bibi is the one driving, and biden is telling him to slow down. Biden is no more capable of controlling Israel than the EU is, but you dont see people yelling at them for it.
Now people want to replace biden with trump, who would challenge netanyahu to floor it or no balls.they actually think this, huh?
May someone EILI5 why this is the hill that so many, particularly young “progressives” wish to die on?
It seems like if there ever was a “both-sides” topic, this is the one. Why are they willing to accept what the other alternative (a Trump presidency) will be like but not accept the lesser of the two evils (a Biden presidency)?liberals can’t understand being anti-genocide unless it’s explained to them as if they were a toddler.
According to noted philosopher The Good Place, the correct answer is to throw yourself in front of the trolley.
it’s just like my treats!!!
“I’m against genocide” says the genocide supporters who will let Trump genocide Palestinians, Ukrainians, Taiwanese, American Muslims, LGBTQ+ Americans, Jewish Americans, Immigrants, and many, many others.
and democrats will stand gleefully by and watch it happen, right?
You’re missing about 29,999 bodies on bidens track

They just make stuff up. Trump is going to genocide… Taiwanese people? The worse their guy gets, the worse his opponent must be or else their guy would be bad (impossible).
I think the genocide supporters are the people voting for the war criminal responsible for committing genocide, actually

Isn’t this just the trolley problem reimagined? The correct action would be for Biden to jerk the wheel of the tortured metaphor of a car into a grove of very solid trees, so the “car” doesn’t kill another 40,000 innocents
Just casually admitting they consider Palestinians to be a necessary sacrifice to keep the imperial machine running.
They are just missing the next panel, where both tracks lead to the annihilation of all Palestinians.
Heaven forbid we do anything to the trolley, though! 👀
The trolley is private property sweaty we can not harm the company running the trolley.
🔻
But it’s totally cool when the Big Three auto companies buy them all up and remove them from city centers completely
Where’s that pic of the rocket launcher aimed at the trolley?
Imagine presenting this to someone who wasn’t crunk off the cult juice. Look, either way you vote innocent people are going to die, it’s up to you how many.
I don’t even buy the implied argument that trump will kill more. Maybe. Not like he’s a friend of Palestine. But Biden is the one currently actively sending weapons. Often even when other ghouls in the legislature don’t want to. And he’s been an avowed Zionist his whole Career. Definitely not seen compelling evidence or proof that trump would be worse in anyway
the only thing he could realistically do to escalate is commit US forces, and everything about his first term indicates that he wouldn’t want to do that
The “aid pier” will become boots on the ground for decades. Write it down.
My money is on gas drilling platform
Holding the life of every last Palestinian not blown to shit hostage over a farcical election. Boils my fucking blood.
This is the thing that pisses me off about libs. They focus on the hypothetical of how much worse it would be under Trump, but ignore the fact that Biden is the president RIGHT THE FUCK NOW and doesn’t do a thing to stop the genocide.
He’s actively supporting the genocide
Before I caught my last
ban, I just started replying to those people with a wall of text that went something like this:“That thing you’re worrying about trump doing is happening right now. Under Biden. Biden is doing it. Today. Right now. Not hypothetically, but actually, and there are no signs of stopping. Biden is sending weapons right now not trump. The thing you’re worried about trump doing is already happening with Biden in the white house. Right now. He’s doing it. Not trump. Trump won’t make it worse because it’s already on track to be as bad as it can get. Right now. With Biden in command. Today…”
And so on and on and on. I make it tedious to read, but keep it civil enough to not get reported. It was generally met with positive response by other r*dditors
There’s nothing they hate so much as fucking peasants having the nerve to think we can and should exert political pressure on the political class.
The idea that we think we might have a role in politics beyond casting a vote is such an anathema to them that many can’t even conceive of it as a possibility (so they treat is as apathy; we don’t care and would let Trump win) or they can conceive of it and seeing us try gives them cognitive dissonance which makes them hate us.
Either way they will hate us for being principled activists. There’s no other way for them to see us.
IS this pressure on the DNC? They seem to enjoy being the minority party because it gives them something to do which doesn’t involve actually creating policy.
