we cannot speak ill of Democrats while Trump exists, don’t you know!
Sure we can. The idea of loyalty over all is actually a foundation of conservative political parties, while center- and left-leaning parties are increasingly critical of themselves. It’s why charity or protest groups splinter all the time or just implode with all that angst.
It’s okay if you don’t know that. It’s part-and-parcel.
No, you see, you’re doing it, too. I didn’t just say “what about”. I said it’s their entire MO. Yet all you fucking morons do is see that I said something negative about the less bad party.
Congratulations, you’re still engaging in team sports.
It’s going to be such a fantastic 4 years with Donnie after watching D’s tear themselves apart ignoring Biden being great and just being completely unrealistic and unreasonable with reality.
You don’t prevent genocide by letting the guy who can’t be convinced anything is a bad idea win instead of the guy who can.
If both options were reasonable then ok, let the other guy win as a matter of principle, but right now the alternative is way worse and won’t help with your cause either.
Don’t be stupid. Trump is going to demand they nuke and pave Palestine and he’ll open a string of Trump resorts for free as his reward. Think that’s unlikely? Please. We’ve got a ton of receipts. He’s 1000 times worse than a Biden administration. So cut the GRU bullshit.
If “Young Progressive Activists” were actually serious about stopping a millenia-old conflict on the other side of the world, the point of entry is their representative and senator. Do they even know who that is? Representatives pass legislation to require (cease-fire, aid, reparations, whatever) or no more money. That’s what they say they actually want.
Magical Santa President is a child’s cartoon. And the conversation of this constant BiDeN gEnOcIdE train is a sad hEr EmAiLs argument in design and purpose.
When did the USA adopt a system where voting independent or third party when you lean left has any influence and prevents the Republicans from taking power? Unless you were planning to vote Republican and will vote for someone else?
At its heart, voting is choosing the least-worse option.
Our best case is being able to repeat this until the criminally-bad options are gone and we only have good options to choose from, but while life expectancy and objective happiness is far, far below what it should be for such a rich nation, you know we have some heavy evolution ahead.
Voting in a First Past the Post election system is like this. If we can switch to another system like the Single Transferrable Vote, we can get better results.
And not voting ends up being support for more genocide
Just as I said, your logic works in a situation where either options are reasonable OR, I would add, if there’s more than two options and governments are made of coalitions so you can vote for someone that will influence the party with the most vote to move in the direction that you want so they can form the government.
These people would be hypocrites if they didn’t vote for him as letting Trump win means more genocide as he’ll do nothing about Gaza and leave Ukraine to fend for itself whereas a Democrat can at least be convinced to change his stance.
If Biden wants their votes, he needs to break with the pro-genocide centrist wing of his party and stop supporting genocide. I know this will bitterly disappoint every last centrist Democrat, but you can lecture them that they can’t always get everything they want and that they need to vote blue no matter who.
You’re right, the PotUS is a completely powerless position, Biden literally can’t do anything! He’s forced to put support bills offering aid to Israel, to fast track weapons to Israel ignoring congress, to have his Secretary of State protect Israel in the UN.
The President is such a completely powerless position, right?
He actually structured the deals in a way that they didn’t meet the minimum dollar amount for congressional oversight, which is mind bendingly illegal.
I forgot he decides that in all in a magical bubble!
Biden did not need to circumvent congress to sell Netanyahu weapons that he knew would be used for genocide. No one would have blamed him if he didn’t, and no one was clamoring for it.
Apart from you and Netanyahu, who would have been disappointed if Biden’s administration hadn’t abused the US’ permanent veto on Netanyahu’s behalf?
We know what it’s costing Biden. What would not doing it have cost him?
You could also stop pretending Joe Biden is a supporter of genocide, but you won’t.
If you truly believe a genocide is happening to the Palestinian people, bullying democrats out of voting for Biden does nothing to help the Palestinian people.
If you want to support the Palestinian people than you should engage in the democratic process and get the democrats to force Israel into a cease fire and lay the groundwork for two states.
You could also stop pretending Joe Biden is a supporter of genocide, but you won’t.
If Biden stops supporting genocide, I’ll stop saying it.

It’s a good thing I’m not doing that. I’m saying that Biden needs to stop supporting genocide.
He hasn’t stopped selling them weapons. He’s still running interference for them at the UN. That’s support.
The US has treaties with Israel that to the best of my knowledge Biden can’t just unilaterally end without repurcussion.
The opposition (Trump) has called for Israel to finish the job.
So if you want to character ize the guy with the stance of a 2 state solution as being the genocidal option, go ahead, but it’s just so ridiculously naive.

None of those treaties require him to circumvent congress to sell weapons for genocide. None of them require him to run interference for Netanyahu at the UN.

And as always, if anyone is in any way critical of Biden’s support for genocide, it’s because they must be a Trumpist.

Both of them support genocide. I want Biden to stop. I doubt you do.
Joe Bide directly supports Israel. Israel is openly committing genocide. If you think Joe is NOT supporting genocide, you are literally so stupid as to fail to observe ONE DEGREE of separation. You are too stupid for this discussion, full stop.
All you people full stop claiming genocide aren’t doing anything for the Palestinian people, you are just bullying people you suspect are Joe Biden supporters and telling them to exit the discussion.
I hate to say its coordinated, but I haven’t ever seen more coordinated behavior in an online community before.
I’m doing a hell of a lot more than Joe Biden simply by not handing Israel bilions in weapons.
I love how all you fucking morons pretend I have ANY obligation like the fucking PRESIDENT has. Stop expecting more of random citizens than you expect of the PRESIDENT. It’s beyond pathetic. Stop being so pathetic.
It’s going to be such a fantastic 4 years with Donnie after watching D’s tear themselves apart ignoring Biden being great and just being completely unrealistic and unreasonable with reality.
Of course it is, Bidens whole shtick is looking like he’s going to do something without committing in any meaningful way.
Second question.
Is that face AI generated? He looks like a Heel about lay the smack down in some WWE baby face.
That, or a plastic mannequin.
Edit: for reference:
They photoshopped him to look less like a sleepy skeleton.
it’s just regular photoshop
And here we have attacks on the president’s appearance? How very progressive of you: saving Gazan lives, one demented post at a time.
You don’t find that expression a little, odd?
If it’s not AI manipulated, then it’s like those pictures of cats mid yawn. Either way, his expression looks, how shall we say, “dramatic”?
Of course it’s odd. That’s why it was chosen. They could have selected the frame 0.05 seconds later and it would have been normal.
Do you think if I went through your comment history I’d find you making fun of trumps appearance?
Go for it, I’m another imperfect human being, but I certainly don’t hide my post history.
Quick edit to highlight the pattern hereabouts: brash assumptions in lieu of easily accessible information. Such a lazy purity test.
Nah I’m lazy and don’t care, it was a bluff. Carry on
Precisely, and I invite others to check your post history as a result. Such dishonesty through multiple conversations.
Sorry? Dishonesty?
I mean, that’s the entire Democrats’ MO, but we cannot speak ill of Democrats while Trump exists, don’t you know!
Sure we can. The idea of loyalty over all is actually a foundation of conservative political parties, while center- and left-leaning parties are increasingly critical of themselves. It’s why charity or protest groups splinter all the time or just implode with all that angst.
It’s okay if you don’t know that. It’s part-and-parcel.
Dems are self-critical? You should try telling that to the DNC.
Whataboutism about whataboutism. Wowee.
No, you see, you’re doing it, too. I didn’t just say “what about”. I said it’s their entire MO. Yet all you fucking morons do is see that I said something negative about the less bad party.
Congratulations, you’re still engaging in team sports.
“no u”
🥱
Congratulations, you have the brain of a child and no valid point to make. Sad.
“lazy insults with no substance”

It’s going to be such a fantastic 4 years with Donnie after watching D’s tear themselves apart ignoring Biden being great and just being completely unrealistic and unreasonable with reality.
. . . So you think not enabling genocide is unrealistic and unreasonable with reality?
The bar here is pretty low, stop sending Israel weapons and money, stop defending them in the UN, and stop saying you support them.
You don’t prevent genocide by letting the guy who can’t be convinced anything is a bad idea win instead of the guy who can.
If both options were reasonable then ok, let the other guy win as a matter of principle, but right now the alternative is way worse and won’t help with your cause either.
Okay so if this guy can be confined genocide is a bad idea, when exactly is that going to happen?
I didn’t think it was so challenging, but I guess Biden really struggles with this choice?
You don’t win votes by convincing people the other guy’s worse. Full stop.
Stop celebrating Democrats making TERRIBLE political moves by failing to condemn terrible political moves…
Don’t be stupid. Trump is going to demand they nuke and pave Palestine and he’ll open a string of Trump resorts for free as his reward. Think that’s unlikely? Please. We’ve got a ton of receipts. He’s 1000 times worse than a Biden administration. So cut the GRU bullshit.

Magical Santa President is a child’s cartoon. And the conversation of this constant BiDeN gEnOcIdE train is a sad hEr EmAiLs argument in design and purpose.
And you don’t improve things by letting the worst option take power by your inaction.
No one has said they wouldn’t vote against Trump. Why do you assume every vote has to be FOR Biden?
Not every vote has to come with an ass kissing, you sycophantic dipshits.
When did the USA adopt a system where voting independent or third party when you lean left has any influence and prevents the Republicans from taking power? Unless you were planning to vote Republican and will vote for someone else?
How is it so confusing to understand that someone can still vote for Biden while not wanting to vote for Biden?
You’re all literally too simple to understand how personal morals work, apparently. Sad.
At its heart, voting is choosing the least-worse option.
Our best case is being able to repeat this until the criminally-bad options are gone and we only have good options to choose from, but while life expectancy and objective happiness is far, far below what it should be for such a rich nation, you know we have some heavy evolution ahead.
Voting in a First Past the Post election system is like this. If we can switch to another system like the Single Transferrable Vote, we can get better results.
If Biden doesn’t want to lose the votes of people who oppose genocide, he should stop supporting genocide.
Of course, he should also stop supporting genocide because it’s genocide. But I guess he’d rather lose than miss out on being a part of it.
And not voting ends up being support for more genocide
Just as I said, your logic works in a situation where either options are reasonable OR, I would add, if there’s more than two options and governments are made of coalitions so you can vote for someone that will influence the party with the most vote to move in the direction that you want so they can form the government.
Neither options apply to the USA at the moment.
I’m voting for Biden. I also know that if he wants the votes of people for whom genocide is a dealbreaker, he needs to stop supporting genocide.
These people would be hypocrites if they didn’t vote for him as letting Trump win means more genocide as he’ll do nothing about Gaza and leave Ukraine to fend for itself whereas a Democrat can at least be convinced to change his stance.
Ok. So they’re hypocrites.
If Biden wants their votes, he needs to break with the pro-genocide centrist wing of his party and stop supporting genocide. I know this will bitterly disappoint every last centrist Democrat, but you can lecture them that they can’t always get everything they want and that they need to vote blue no matter who.
You think preventing this country from turning into a dictatorship that is planning to commit genocide on LGBTQs and women her is a low bar?
You think supporting genocide is acceptable as long as it’s brown people in another country?
I think destroying this country, eliminates any possibility of stopping genocide anywhere else. But you seem intent on supporting genocide everywhere…
I don’t support genocide at all. It’s why I want Biden to stop.
By helping Trump get elected and ensuring the continued and escalation of genocide both in the middle east and here.
Hmm.
You can’t defend Biden’s support for genocide, so you pretend everyone who opposes genocide is a trump supporter.
Imagine being this indoctrinated into American exceptionalism.

What does a 2 state solution mean? It means the Palestinian people weren’t genocided.
Do you not get that? Because if you don’t, this situation is clearly more complex than you ever begun to realize.
In this context, about as much as anything else Biden says he supports and doesn’t back up with actions.
I get what Biden’s stated position is. His actions say the opposite.
Joe Bide directly supports Israel. Israel is openly committing genocide. If you think Joe is NOT supporting genocide, you are literally so stupid as to fail to observe ONE DEGREE of separation. You are too stupid for this discussion, full stop.
This is the issue pointed out right here.

I’m just saying, the Palestinian people need a lot more from you than specifically waging a propaganda war against Democratic voters.
There are charities you could donate your time or money to, there are think tanks with the ear of the president who you could reach out to.
I don’t even agree with your usage of the term genocide, but feel like I have done more to help the Palestinian people through my own contributions.
That to me says something.
So you’re just assuming I do nothing otherwise?
Again, stop being so pathetic. You still expect more from citizens than the president. Stop being such a joke.
