Do you not know who the other option is?
How is this still something being asked??

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 months ago (2 children)

If the alternative is so terrible, and the Supreme Court just ruled the President has total legal immunity in office, why hasn't Biden done the obvious thing to protect the country against this horrific threat? soviet-hmm

I am going to be asking libs this every day until the election. Also, why doesn't he solve Trump's Justices while he's at it?

Umm, wow, okay, you want us to become a TOTALITARIAN REGIME like China? Maybe take a second and think, tankie. America only uses violence to interfere in the democratic procedures of ~~independent non-Western countries~~ ANTI FREEDOM AUTHORITARIAN ROGUE STATES.

If you think that America overthrowing the elected Sukarno by infiltrating the Indonesian military and guiding the slaughter of ~one million innocent people in Indonesia and propping up a dictator who would go on to commit a genocide in East Timor simply because Indonesia was developing independently and the government worked with the PKI, or the US working with Pinochet (whose government would go on to massacre left-wing dissidents and workers) to perpetrate the brutal coup in Chile because the elected Allende promised to pursue socialist policy in Chile and had worked on land reform/nationalization, or the US backing a coup in Guatemala (because the government had begun to block imperialist exploitation of their resources and labor) to depose the democratically elected Árbenz and inserting a military dictatorship that perpetrated a genocide against indigenous Guatemalans, if you think this is half as bad as the American government killing a single person who is not currently in power to prevent a fascist Nazi government from being formed, then say hello to Putin for me, because you're nothing but a Russian bot who will clock out of your shift at some silly Moscow time. WE BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY!

Oh, I know who it is; I just don't give a rat's ass anymore. It doesn't matter which old white man gets in, the genocide of sovereign Palestinians will continue, the concentration camps on the southern border will remain open, the wall will continue being built, Abbott won't be stopped from putting saw blades in the rivers, the prison slavery complex won't be abolished(and honestly, all of you deserve to be shot on that point alone because you all benefit from the fruits of prison slavery, and you all tacitly support it by voting in democrats who own stock in for-profit prisons), the 1033 program won't be ended, the Cop Cities won't be cancelled, none of it fuckin matters.

Death to the settler empire. All I ask for is the opportunity to laugh in a couple anglo settler faces before the lynch mob gets me, too. I genuinely hate you bloodthirsty ghoul motherfuckers.

Oh who is it, is it someone who won't fund genocide?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I would rather let Trump personally shoot me in the head than vote for someone I've just watched be an active accomplice in committing genocide.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 months ago (4 children)

You can't be this short sighted. Trump has said he'd be more than happy to make the genocide even larger.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

damn that sucks, maybe someone should do something to stop him.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Who said they were voting for Trump?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I don't care; I just want Amerika to collapse at this point. Genocide is a negotiable for you fucking crackers; I consider you just as much an existential enemy as I'd consider an IDF regular, and I want to watch every single one of my enemies get bumped off. At least when the collapse hits, we won't be able to imperialize the rest of the world anymore.

Get fucked, fascist

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

It's actually a complicated question for people (like me!) who hate America. Biden might be the accelerationist candidate at this point!

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't get it; Jill Stein is kind of a dork but I don't see how she's worse than Biden.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

That doesn’t make any sense. If Hitler is the opposition, and your guy is the only person running against Hitler, my question would remain the same. Because if you’re not going to do anything, then you’re basically just making me sit around for 4 years until Hitler comes back into power.

The only other actual candidate is Trump.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Sounds like a skill problem. If I were America I would simply have more than the two candidates who share the same core ideas about preserving capital yet have conflicting cultural affectations that leads morons into thinking they're fundamentally different people.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Okay, still not voting for Biden.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

So the way voting works is that you vote for the candidate who you feel represents you. Not voting for someone doesn't actually give them your vote. If you don't vote for trump or Biden, then neither get your vote the-more-you-know

Do you not know who the other option is?

99% Biden. All the same policies, but without the decorum.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago

How is this still something being asked??

It's being asked because the current incumbent is a party to genocide and the "other option" currently isn't

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

Don't blame me. I vote ed for Kodos

That's all libs have left anymore. Becoming a joke from 30 years ago

Is it someone who will do nothing as roe v Wade gets overturned?
