punish the entire world

The absolute fucking nerve of these freaks accusing anyone else of causing harm as their guy, for whom they are trying to shame us into voting, actively funds a genocide.

Not just funding, delivers bombs for it too. The bombs falling are literally biden's bombs.

Imagine someone putting a piece of paper on your desk, imagine knowing that signing it means that fascists will be handed around that will be used to commit a genocide, killing thousands of innocents. And then imagine signing the paper instead of tearing it up in revulsion, like a sane human being would do. You have to be a literal demon to do something like that.

Genocide Joe doesn't belong in the Hague, he belongs in a free Palestine in front of a war crimes and genocide tribunal there. If there were justice in this world he would be hanged.

We have a lot of fucking liberal ass losers in here. Must be election season.

Liberals have pulled this "You'd better vote for us because the other guy will literally kill you if they win!" thing since the 60s, they've just shifted around the minority group they target with their threats.

Maybe if liberals wanted a coalition with leftists, they'd try to do more than piss on our heads and say it's raining. You wanna vote for genocide Joe, that's your prerogative. But don't come in here and try to guilt me into voting for your boy who's out here running guns to a fascist ethnostate, who has done NOTHING to protect those minority groups, who's still building a wall, who's still raising the military/ICE budgets, and try to act like you're some high and mighty, moralistic motherfucker.

You want blue team to win because you think it's "harm reduction" to wait 10-15 years to implement whatever terrible thing conservatives want to do today.

Don't believe me? How's that border wall thing going?

Biden is the nominee, by the usual process of running unopposed.

[–] [email protected] 81 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't know about that, this Uncommitted person seems to be making waves. Shame they couldn't get on all the ballots.

I love that in all the scenarios, we have to be “pragmatic” and not let perfect be the enemy of good, but Biden has to do nothing.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah, that's the part that sits badly about this whole angle to me. What, I owe a bunch of completely detached motherfuckers success? They sure seem like they're barely bothering to show up. If I was halfassing my job this bad i'd've been fired a year ago.

I don't think Biden being a pragmatic choice is a settled matter. I haven't seen anything that implies he is a meaningful distinction on things I care about.

Israel? Nope

Student debt? Nope

Abortion? Nope

Unions? Nope

Climate change? Nope

The border? Nope

Homelessness? Nope

War on drugs? Nope

Inflation? Nope

Tax lobbying? Nope

Healthcare? Nope

LGBT protection? Maybe if you squint your eyes

Campaign finance? Nope

Difference between productivity and purchasing power? Nope

Copyright? Nope

Breaking up big business monopolies? Nope

Oh yeah...

And...

WAR????????????????? FUCKING NO

The worst most hawkish fascist military might that has ever existed and continues to constrict the entire planet? Nope

The only difference is whether fascists get radicalized or they get emboldened

Friendly reminder that Roe V. Wade was abolished under Biden.

“I wouldn’t vote for me if I believed Tara Reade.”

Guess I'm the asshole for believing Tara Reade.

>didn't get exactly what you wanted

And this right here is actually the crux of the issue showing itself in full force.

You ever wonder why shit gets sandbagged?

These smug liberals genuinely see our hardships and concerns but draws the conclusion "oh well good golly gee willickers! I guess they just love to throw tantrums".

There's nothing more I can say except pit.

"not getting exactly what you wanted", like i'm gonna have to eat chocolate ice cream with hershey's kisses in it instead of milka drops...

but in reality it's oops genocide

After reading through the list of liberal complaints about what a unique and scary thing a 2nd Trump term would be, in particular with regards to the Project 2025, I'm beginning to wonder why Libs don't ever make demands of their party. Like, if Trump plans on sacking a whole bunch of civil-servants because they are perceived as disloyal to him/the GOP, then you already know what the gameplan for the Right is going to be, so just begin making your own preparations. Begin making your own database of freaks whom the GOP has put into power for being loyal foot-soldiers to the party and the second you get back into any sort of room that with decisionmaking power, begin ruthlessly purging them. Not like Biden is even against the concept of a purge, judging by how his team of bat-shit Neocons are currently running Ukraine.

If the usual process isn't giving the majority what they want THAN IT ISN'T A FREE DEMOCRACY AND PEOPLE SHOULD REVOLT YOU MORON

I choose to punish the entire world! black-book

[–] [email protected] 66 points 5 months ago (1 children)

he is the nominee, through the usual process.

Oh yeah the usual process where we have a primary election to decide the nominee. I sure am glad there’s a primary I get to vote in to decide the nominee.

Oh wait, my state didn’t even have a primary! So no dipshit, he didn’t become the nominee by the usual process, he became the nominee by being entirely unopposed.

These people simply dont see Biden as a sponsor of genocide. There's no point in arguing with someone over whether or not to vote for Biden if you both can't agree on that fact.

Genocide is only a concern for purity testers, sweaty

[–] [email protected] 58 points 5 months ago

the usual process

lol. lmao

[–] [email protected] 58 points 5 months ago

Never let these people put this on you. It's on them. If Trump wins, it's their fault for not advocating against genocide and for a different candidate.

They're the ones not making a pragmatic choice. The only thing they're choosing to do is scold people, which doesn't work.

And if we are irrational, if we aren't being pragmatic, then why do they think they could reason with us? If we're unreasonable and Biden is reasonable, then they should be directing their talk to him if they actually want to stop Trump.
