People from other countries scared of alt right rising there due to Trump
lmao I live in one of those countries and our fascists are 100% home grown, thank you very much. Amerikkkan exceptionalism at its absolute worst, we've had this shit here way before Trump was anything more than a weirdo celebrity
Also Bidens policy is already brutalizing leftists lol
These people can never fail. Only the left can fail by not supporting Genocide Joe, who demands law and order as state thugs beat up the protestors. Every time his polls slip, he acts more like Trump. Trump supporters will never support him and I will never support someone that tries to make them happy.
I’ve had this conversation with my SO. Technically speaking the best move for me as a white male would be to support Trump. Instead I vote for Democrats hoping for positive changes for all people. For most of my life I’ve thought I was “far left” for American standards, but since I’ve joined portions of Lemmy and Reddit you’d think I was a fucking Republican.
Certain portions of the left would rather spit in their own eye for unrealistic principles, even if it means that a worse alternative is the result.
Biden is bombing yemen, escalating the Strait Crisis, worsen the situation in Korea to the point both govs dont want reunification anymore, and is still continuing the blockade of cuba, trump will just continue biden's policy
Ukraine is currently losing to Russia and if biden wins they will still continue to lose
and for palestinians Biden is already sending 1 billion dollars to Isntreal so trump will do the same he just wont lie about trying to negotiate a cease fire.
Libs will say anything and support genocide just so people vote for their favorite fascist
as ever, the analysis that libs find settler-colonial genocide acceptable (Churchill) as long as it's not happening inside the imperial core (Hitler) to people that look like them, cuts through their tortured pseudo-ethical posturing like a laser.
Yeah when Trump wins, anyone left of MTG will be treated like the Palestinians are treated now. You guys don’t understand this year is the endgame for the US. You guys will too be busy fleeing from Trump’s Schutzstaffel to even think for a second about Gaza. It’s easy: If Trump wins, the world will fall into total chaos and Gaza will be everywhere, nobody will care about them anymore. If Biden wins, we’ll still have at least an opportunity to improve their situation.
There is absolutely no way they believe this, is there? Liberals have become 2008 era conservatives who thought Obama would put them in FEMA camps. The federal government is far too lazy and inept to do anything like that domestically. Also have these liberals not seen the police brutality on college campuses over the past few weeks? The American SS is already here, it's the NYPD.
Not to mention how dismissive this is of Palestinians. They're being carpet bombed right now. Imagine an American saying we're worried of the same thing happening to us. It's ludicrous.
And if liberals truly worry about this, that Trump will create apartheid and begin slaughtering people domestically en masse (more than people already are killed through poverty and police brutality). The response shouldn't be to vote for Biden, it should be a call to dismantle the entire American state apparatus because it shouldn't exist
Liberals have been indoctrinated out of object permanence. This is why they cannot fathom a political project beyond the next election cycle and why they are easily led around by these scare tactics.
you've got to admit it's kind of amazing to watch these libs try to walk the tightrope to appear to be the most radical while just taking in the minimum quantity of information outside their shared fantasies
it's cute they think it's LEGISLATION that will do this and not just like the regular old paramilitary state sanctioned violence that will actually happen
like they think trump is gonna pass some "kill the leftists" bill? I guess? lol
These debates are, to begin with, meaningless. If the entire left, as a block, voted for Biden, it wouldn't move the needle either way, there's not enough of them. People act like these are elections in Kurdistan or something. "The extreme left" are part of the least populous generation with the least access to the right to vote to begin with and live in mostly non-battleground states. This is on par with chiding never trump republicans for not voting for Biden. If Biden loses it will be for the same reason the Hillary lost: for not appealing to the greatest voting block in America: the non-voter.
You see the only way out of this 2 party system that even we admit is not ideal is to vote for either of the parties that will defend the 2 party system to the death, thereby legitimising the 2 party system further.
We can work on making things better once we get through this existential threat, which is what we've been saying every election since forever. But this time it's really real, guys.
I unironically love this little meme; there is so much *sniff*Ideology buried within. The post-modern pastiche of a recycled meme encodes the evergreen liberal shaming-as-praxis, ignorance of history, and the obliviousness to their own behavior. They could post this in 2020 as well as 2024, and probably beyond. It truly never gets old. It's almost like the whole artistic vehicle is its own critique. It is perfect! It is art! It is liberal Zeitgeist dripped directly from their own subconcious!
Technically speaking the best move for me as a white male would be to support Trump. Instead I vote for Democrats hoping for positive changes for all people.
If I hear "first past the post" one more time, I'm going to fuck some shit up.
Also, no lib anywhere has a plan to fight fascism. They have no plans before or after. They're just gonna roll over and accept it because they are truly the ones with comfortable lives and nothing to lose.
Maybe if Dems were any different than Trump they'd get more votes. Not our fault Biden is unpopular, he did that all on his own by funding genocide, not protecting people's rights from the GOP and by protecting the rich. He's Trump with a blue paintjob
Every single one of those comments could be a tagline. Has someone actually perfected a lib chatgpt and lib spaces on the internet are just bots talking back and forth?
The Dems' full throated support of Israel in spite of its wildly unpopular character coupled with their claims of bureaucratic efficiency makes me believe that Trump would deliver shittier support to Israel and be more argumentative & stingy.
Bro if Trump is such a threat and all that fascism stuff and you believe that, then why don’t you just do what that old hitman did to the Slovak leader
At best, even if Trump dropped dead tomorrow, some other member of the fascist party like DeSantis would replace him overnight. Trump is in large part a symptom of deep issues.
