Joe Biden could still turn this around and not lose to Trump by defunding Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. If he doesn’t, there will be only person to blame for Joe Biden losing to Trump in six months and that’s Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden.
@aral Well, Biden will lose, because if he turns on Netanyahu, he will face the wrath of Christian Zionists and paid AIPAC politicians and all those inside DNC who support Israel before their own country.
If he doesn't do it, he will lose the votes of independents and the young people or anyone with conciseness who are against the ongoing genocide.
He did it to himself and the political circus in the US needs a clown that plays by the tune of AIPAC and JINSA and Trump is a far better candidate for them than Biden is.
Democrats going to pay for their criminal inaction to bring Trump and his crime family down much earlier and for that the whole world is going to pay a hefty price.
@StillIRise1963 Yes, Trump winning will fuck everyone over. And if Trump wins, the only person to blame is the one who knows exactly what to do to win and steadfastly refuses to do it because he will not stop enabling a genocide.
If someone is torturing a puppy on live television and you tell to him to stop if he wants to be elected and he doesn’t and he loses, he’s the only one to blame for losing whether or not the other guy will shoot the puppy dead when he wins.
@StillIRise1963 America being the world’s arms dealer and bombing Brown people whenever it feels like it is what’s extremely offensive. At least to those Brown people who keep getting the shit bombed out of them. Heck, I know it’s hard to see non-Americans as human beings but I can guarantee that we very much are.
@StillIRise1963 Ok, goodbye. I don’t really have anything to say if you cannot see that the world is not America and that people in the Middle East are people too. We’re not just cannon fodder for your domestic comfort.
@aral@StillIRise1963 American is not a civilized nation and blocks progress at every turn. It's not the champion of democracy and freedom it pretends to be.
America is violence for profit.
Best thing that could happen would be for the world to shun the US, treat it as a pariah state it is. The people here, most notably the white middle class, will stand in the way of progress because they don't want to rock the boat. They've got their comfortable lives to lose.
@StillIRise1963@aral The US blocks repeatedly progress in solving a variety of global crises. It's a long list. The climate emergency stands out as the most evident and immediate. The world needs a rebalance of leadership.
Internally our politics move RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. The political process is broken and most here, certainly the white middle class are too glued to their distractions and comforts to be bothered to act in any meaningful way.
I was offering one possible perspective of the problem: Global US hegemony and often US criminal behavior that is tolerated when it shouldn't be.
If the US is, more often than not, an impediment to progress then a part of solving the problem is to lessen its influence in the process and redistribute power amongst other nations. And the US should be held to account for its wrong doings.
@aral@StillIRise1963 The US is much more equitable than that. They love to bomb yellow people as much as brown people. And the US started off their nation with a genocide of “red” people. And they happily kill white people too (unless Latin Americans aren’t really white).
@StillIRise1963 I’m not white. I’m from the part of the world that Americans of all skin colours have historically shown no reticence in bombing. The part of the world where a genocide is being carried out right now using American bombs.
And yes, if it comes down to whether an American should vote for Biden or Trump in six months then, yes, vote for Biden.
But the third way is to make Biden see he will lose unless he stops funding this genocide and, y’know, stop a damn genocide.
He simply said that if Biden loses, that is on BIden.
It has always been in his power to listen, and change course. He is gambling with America's future, knowing his actions could cause him to lose. He is gambling that the fear of Trump will enable him to continue to enable genocide, and still win.
I don't have a solution. I think Americans are faced with a ghastly choice. I am grateful I do not have to make that choice.
@sufferforme Nope. It will be on him and others like him who don’t give a FUCK about Black people, brown people, trans people, gay people and women. WHY IS THIS HARD??? IS IT BECAUSE WE DON’T MATTER? @aral
@aral@StillIRise1963#genocidejoe has kicked that puppy enough times for everyone to see that if he stops now people will still despise him. Rightly so.
@aral 400 years later, I find NOTHING SURPRISING in your rhetoric as it pertains to Black people like myself, but I do find the approach STUPID for even you.
Please dwell upon this for a moment, before anger sets in.
I am aware Biden is the lesser evil compared to Trump. But, he's still evil. He's doing realistically nothing to stop the genocide of (not white) people. Quite the opposite, he's actively supporting it. Business as usual.
Lashing out on people and calling them racist for pointing that out achieves nothing. All you're low-key saying is murdering countless innocent civilians with weapons supplied by Biden and prolonging their suffering by politically endorsing Israel (by not alienating it and putting more political pressure on Nentayahu and his bunch of murderers) is a-okay, because Trump would be worse. That's extremely selfish, if you asked me.
Perhaps Trump would be worse. But it still does not mean Biden is a saint and people are more than reasonable in criticising him.
Please stop acting as if the fact American political system is FUBAR makes Joe's actions justified. Because it does not.
@StillIRise1963@aral
The world will be SO MUCH WORSE than anything happening in Gaza right now if the Orange Turd wins. Stop with the Genocide Joe crap. The world will literally burn.
Sure. Take a stand against genocide by allowing the party back in that's inviting Israel to end the war in Gaza the way the U.S. ended the war in Japan.
@StillIRise1963@lin11c@aral As far as my son son goes, I understand his frustration and I'm genuinely proud that he cares enough to get angry about the situation. But yes, there are lots of people working very hard to sow doubt and confusion.
@hardmatter@StillIRise1963@aral
I support the protests, what Israel is doing is horrific. Biden has an extreme balancing act to do because lots of Americans support Israel including all the GQP. I believe this attack was carefully orchestrated to sabotage our election. I's not just some "theory", there is evidence. Gaza is an op.
@matty They’re stuck between two candidates. As the centrist/neoliberal Democrats would rather see Trump in power than a left-wing politician like Bernie Sanders, the only two choices are Biden and Trump right now unless either or both of them croak before the election. But, beyond that, any criticism of Biden arming and funding a genocide in Palestine is being painted as rooting for Trump and folks are being told: “Shut up and vote for Biden or you’re helping get Trump elected.”
@aral I don't know that he's a Zionist, but here's what I do know.
(1) Palestinians don't have a fiscal lobby of note, whereas Israelis do.
(2) Campaign donations are considered 'free speech'. 👀
(3) No one seems have demanded that Democrats 'divest'. In fact, quite the opposite, they'll crawl out of the woodwork and tell you, "If Trump wins..."
If the campaign is about fear, we're seeing Hillary all over again. Fleetingly.
@aral It's the GOP that are zionists, they're the dominionists and ones that want the apocalpyse to start there. But you go ahead and keep showing that you understand nothing of international or domestic politics.
