Aren't you?

The meme implies protest at the polls. Their comment is reflective of that sentiment. Criticize and protest US support of Israel independent of casting your vote in rebellion. The point stands that Trump encourages eradication of the Palestinians and Ukrainians, while oppressing working class Americans and repealing climate change progress.

You somehow think "orange man" would be less into genocide? Genuinely? How???

Biden does not share my view that genocide is bad

And Trump does?

lol

lmao

Realistically what do you hope to accomplish by voting for someone else or not voting?

It's sarcasm. And voting for a minor party candidate is a vote for Republicans.

Supporting of unions is a pretty big thing biden supports that leftists also support, nevermind his views and actions on climate change and bodily autonomy.

Your comment is wildly reductionist and supremely ignorant.

Denial.

Unfortunately, it's a very real dichotomy

Biden isn't in charge of Israel.

He passed the IRA, rejoined the Paris Agreement, repealed the transgender ban in the military, restored net neutrality, defended the use of mifepristone, supported Ukraine, and relieved some student debt. That's enough to earn my vote.

(as much as an individual can be responsible obviously another ghoul would have done the same things etc.)

Just out here telling on yourself, huh?

uhh he rides trains sometimes? can we ban him from trains? I feel gross taking trains a genocidier rode.

Sarcasm. I'm making fun of people.

Are you trying to suggest trump will be better in that regard?

I think most reasonable accounts of the violence at the southern border (which has escalated again under Biden) would be considered a genocide

I mean there was it was just not noticed by liberals

when hasn't the USG been supporting a genocide or three?

This is like claiming global warming isn't real because it still snows sometimes.

Look at that! Hexbearian whataboutism! Never seen that one before /s

Show these people a picture of border patrol on horseback whipping black migrants and 99% they'll tell you it was under trump

There's no way to hold their beliefs without being divorced from reality

Slowly worse is still better than quickly worse, as that means there's more time to find a better solution.

where's that evergreen ratchet meme

Hey! So I know you are getting people being snarky and whatnot, but I have a legitimate question.

Could you address the question regarding how the Democrats are at least the party that are at least making slow progress, as opposed to not voting against the party that will turn the country into a Christian theocracy if given the chance?

Like I understand that you don't like either candidate - neither do we - but realistically, we know the winner will be either a Republican or a Democrat. Why not support the one that at least won't regress the country 500 years?

That's hilarious and of course it's hexbear

The IRA act turbocharged private renewable energy investment. I saw multiple local projects that were already underway expand their scope immediately after the legislation was passed because the legislation made renewable energy far cheaper to build.

The new SAVE repayment plan for student loans allows families to pay significantly less on their student loans (I currently have a $0 payment with no interest gain on my 8k of student debt thanks to this plan, plus after 10 years of making my $0 payments any remaining balance will be forgiven)

Their username can answer this question

End of segregation. Interracial marriage legalized. Voting rights for native americans. LGBT rights...

Nope, no progress there.

Have you?

terrifying comment

Instead, we’re going to elect democrats who won’t do anything for however many decades it takes for the current conservative justices to get old and then, when the time is right, they’ll show their cunning strategy for saving the court: Putting forward a slightly less conservative justice that they won’t even fight for enough to push past republican objections.

Meanwhile: We’re drowning!

Pardon my ignorance as a non-American, but weren’t there rumblings of Biden being able to do the same, back around the time of the RBG debacle?

this makes so much sense!!!1!!11!!!

Yeah, because one follows the law and the constitution (to at least some degree) and one doesn't. It's really that simple

I’m pretty sure @aberrate_junior_beatnik@midwest.social was being ironic there

they're lampooning liberals' circular reasoning

No, you don't hear them. They, and OP are mocking libs telling people to vote for a candidate who demonstrates over and over that they do not want the things we want, and will either not stop or help republicans do the things they want.

It's kind of sad, they understand the democrats do not want the things they want, so they cannot influence them into doing the things that will win the election, so all they can do is tell people not to believe their lying eyes.

There were people when Trump was running who told me they would vote for Trump strictly because fuck the system

And how many lives are you willing to spend to do that?

5%? Who hurt you? It’s way more than that. More like 95%.

You have a literal elderly criminal idiot vs a seasoned politician elderly idiot who won’t fuck the country over like DJT did.

But then again I have been on 5 continents and know for a fact Americans are the dumbest people when it comes to having coherent awareness of their situation.

What a novel and salient point, you should keep making it every day until the election.

As we know the president is responsible for everything and Congress and state government don't matter at all.

Disclaimer: this post is sarcasm.

Unfortunately, the polls do. I understand his loyal base not budging, but plenty of people are under the impression that abstaining or voting third-party in November will do anything but get Trump back in the White House.

Is it?

I figure it’s just how democracy has to work. Governance is too complicated to just set it and forget it every 2-4 years.

Even if you somehow elect an ideal candidate, you’re still going to disagree at some point during their term.

There are plenty of no-win scenarios, opportunities to trade a short-term loss for a long-term win, etc. where you might agree on goals but not tactics and you end up having to petition/protest them.

And that’s in the ideal case.

You might as well assume that whoever ends up in The Room Where It Happens, they’re going to sit down on the opposite side of the table from you — not next to you.

I guess that’s kinda cynical, but I really don’t mean it to be. I think it’s just a more healthy way to frame participatory democracy. Your job is not done at the ballot box. That’s just to set the parameters for the real work.

Reasonable discourse is when you vote blue no matter who and support genocide sweaty

Reasonable discourse is when everyone agrees with me

That's what I named my Glock

To Democrats it means refusing to say "third party vote" in favor of terms like "spoiler" or "protest vote" while claiming voting for Trump is a mainline leftist position, then yelling "nuhuh trump lover" if you point out its false.

you just did

1. Idiot
2. Fascist idiot
3. Bot

I'd bet money it's one of these three.

Biden is the architect over 52 years in politics of an astounding number of this nations problems and many that affect me personally. He was a bridge too far in 2012 after I learned he wasnt just Obamas weird acting old guy vp.

I can’t comprehend how anyone was able to vote for him in 2020 and it’s deeply disturbing that anyone would support him now.

Obama got almost nothing done in his first term mainly do to trying to work across the isle. Biden was not shackled with this given how clearly republicans have made it that they are not going to work in good faith at all.

hes the closest thing to mister rogers as president.

Are... Are you arguing with yourself?

Yeah, and I’ll win the big jackpot in the lottery tomorrow.

That’ll happen.

No! The Constitution says that it must be the Federalist Party vs. the Democratic-Republican Party, period. /s

Yeah, and I could be invisible if only all the photons bouncing off my body got together and agreed not to go into anyone's eyes, but that ain't happening anytime soon

Then you're voting in favor of someone who will support it more. There's exactly two possibilities this election cycle, barring any issues with mortality, and both of them support this genocide. When you get to your polling place, you should think about which option will be the most likely to lead to the best outcome. Obviously a third party would be the absolute best outcome, but it's also the absolute least likely possibility. The only options that are likely are biden, who will maintain the current genocide, or trump, who will expand the current genocide, and also make your and your countrymen's lives materially worse as well.

A lottery ticket is arguably the best possible way to spend your money, because you can turn $2 into a million. But you get that spending all of your income on lottery tickets is stupid, right? I hope I don't have to explain this analogy any further

IDK how you got more downvotes than Trump, only answer is bots trying to get votes for military industrial complex man
