You leftist rabble-rousers with your lofty ideals of "not doing a genocide" don't know anything about getting elected and getting things done

*loses 2 elections to the most disliked president in history*

DAMN YOU PUTIN!

You gotta understand, we only had three months to distance ourselves from Biden but also didn't want to. It was the only way to make sure the donors were happy. You understand right? Stop blaming us for taking no positions and blame yourself for demanding us to take a position to secure your vote. It was a completely unreasonable ask and you knew it!

What next, you'll demand to be able to afford rent AND food on the average wage? Pick one and be grateful

Liberals: but what if we compromised, how about only some genocide? What if Israel only tortured half as many babies? What if Israel only illegally annexed half of the West Bank instead of their current plan to annex the entire thing? What if people were able to afford 50% of rent and 50% of all bills? What if we only cut Medicare and Medicaid by 50%?

Don't be silly, liberals aren't offering to spare half the Palestinians, there offering "killing all of them, but with a troubled expression on our face."

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Or kill just half of them and then, as a compromise, only kill half of the ones who are left (repeat until total remaining Palestinians is less than 1)

I think a lot of people are neglecting to think of Biden's lifetime record in public office. The United States is the nation on Earth with the greatest proportion of its own citizens imprisoned and we have Biden's 1994 crime bill in large part to thank for that. Unfortunately it wasn't terribly shocking when he went on to be more supportive of the Palestinian genocide than any other president in US history other than Trump.

They're not neglecting it, they're purposefully ignoring it. People will tag (correctly, mind you) Reagan, Nixon, and Dubya as the issue of modern America, but if you bring up the voting/writing record of the most recent Blue Guy, somehow its not their fault, people are allowed to change, people can learn better, etc. etc.

Libs stop thinking in electoralist terms challenge [back-breakingly toilsome]

Democrat politicians abandoned you decades ago and don't have your interest in mind, please please PLEASE stop defending them/putting your hopes on them (and the electoral Kabuki theater in general) and do something about your situation yourselves. Organize, build community, help people in need, use your privilege where it matters.

It's too late for elections, even more if that's the one and only thing you're willing to do politically. You might "win" a presidential term for a democrat president next time but the damage is already done and everything is rotting around you.

All this dumb bickering about "voting for the lesser evil" is incredibly frustrating for people from countries who endured dictatorships. So if anything, listen to them and act before it's too late.

Which one though? Is it Xi Jinping? Putin? Charles Taylor? Bush? Blair? Netanyahu? Ratko Mladic? Jean Kambanda? Samphan? Assad (not that old I suppose)?

There are so many of them

ETA: I see the downvotes. I truly have no fucking clue who you are talking about. Duterte? Lukashenko?

Don’t forget Germany, Italy, Canada, UK, and India. They also provided munitions to Israel after October 7th.

I won't excuse genocide. And apparently I'm the devil because of it.

If someone can excuse genocide that's a personal failing they should see to.

I got plenty of downvotes for not having sympathy for biden the other day

Every liberal would be cheering and partying in the streets if Trump got stage 4 cancer.

Then they turn around and say "Wow you're so uncivil for cheering for the guy who has aided in a genocide, helped make COVID a permanent issue, ignored kids in cages, and made Trump run again."

Do they just not see all the issues with their favorite candidates or are they just unable to witness their own doublethink?

Blue MAGA is not a saying born lightly. These people are truly incapable of seeing their own party for the monters they are.
