Democrats promote fascists so they can pretend that they’re heroes for running against them. Vote for biden, but don’t fool yourself into thinking that you’re not voting for a fascist, because democrats are absolutely allies of fascists if not outright fascists themselves. They would rather lose an election to a fascist than let a leftist win, 2016 is a prime example of this. As the saying goes, scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.
An actual genocide is happening right now. If biden doesn’t feel pressured to stop the genocide at the risk of losing votes in an election year, what makes you think he’ll stop it when he’s not at any risk of losing the election?
Democrats preserve the status quo while republicans push things further to the right. Since our system guarantees that both parties will win at different times, the trajectory is always to the right. I’m voting for democrats down the entire ballot like I do every single election, but it will ultimately not make a meaningful difference. Democrats are using minorities as a shield for their own failings and inaction. If you don’t vote for democrats then they claim it’s your fault for whatever situation minorities find themselves in, but democrats do the bare minimum they can for minorities when they do get voted in. You’re providing a prime example when you use minorities in the US as an excuse to change the subject from genocide in Palestine.
“Identity politics” is a loaded term, but democrats will absolutely play different disadvantaged groups against one another to stop progress. They did it in 2016 when Bernie was talking about the need to help poor people and democrats came out with “but what about poor black people?!” even though democrats don’t do shit for poor black people either and as if poor black people aren’t included in the group of poor people.
Are we forgetting that biden is currently the president and loves genocide so much that he refuses to stop supporting it, even though it’s costing him votes? If the best you can offer is “not the other guy” then all you’re telling us is that things will get worse no matter what.
You’re being intentionally obtuse. We were talking about biden but you changed the subject to yourself because you somehow think feigning stupidity is a great argument tactic.
Also, you’re assuming my race, and incorrectly at that. Regardless, why don’t you try listening to the many Arab Americans on this issue or are they too white for you? In reality, you’re just bringing up minorities as a shield for your support for genocide. Honestly it’s disgusting.
They understand perfectly and that’s why they’re making it on the ballot. So what’s it going to be: continue supporting genocide and lose votes or stop supporting genocide and gain votes? Seems like an obvious choice, but maybe you’re too smart and understand too much over the masses you look down upon.
Seems like compromise is “the political party does whatever they want and you guarantee your undying loyalty to them with your vote”. You speak of youth and naivety, but only an idiot would accept such a “deal”. If our votes have power then we should wield it.
Yes, and what will happen if Biden loses. Genocide. Which you don’t give a fuck about.
What is happening right now? That’s right, genocide, which you don’t care about because you refuse to accept the possibility of ending it. So not only are you jumping around subjects, you’re projecting.
I have. This may surprise you, but Arab Americans are not a monolith marching lockstep with your plan to see as many American minorities killed as possible.
You’ll find the proportion of Arab Americans supporting genocide rather low. In fact, that would be the case with all races, but you’re the one who brought up race in the first place, treating minorities as a monolith to suit your needs. There you go projecting again.
How dare I bring up my own life as a shield to defend the awful crime of [checks notes] seeing as few people murdered as possible.
If I were truly enlightened, I would be calling for as many minorities to be murdered as possible, and for fascists to be put in power. Apparently, that’s what True Leftism™ consists of, according to the geniuses on here.
You know what would result in the fewest people murdered as possible? Not supporting genocide. Ah, but the truly enlightened liberal must enjoy genocide every once in a while, as a treat.
It seems the idea of stopping genocide is too much for your big liberal brain to handle. Instead we have to guarantee votes to someone who full-throatedly supports genocide, denies it’s happening, and is deep throating the far-right netanyahu. Of course, liberals helping fascists is actual liberal praxis.
If he doesn’t then why did he get so mad when the ICC called for his arrest? Why does he supply him with billions in weapons to carry out his campaign of genocide? Why does he deny genocide in defense of him?
I don’t think voting in general is undying loyalty, I think guaranteeing your vote to a party no matter what they do is undying loyalty. That’s what they demand and expect because the other guy is worse, but if that’s the strategy then they have no need to ever actually improve things because the other guy will always be worse.
If the threat of withholding your vote does not scare the party that is supposedly saving democracy, then they probably don’t actually care about democracy, especially when they prioritize genocide over getting those votes.
I don’t know if these posts just stick out more but I feel like most posts I see on Political Memes is PugJesus cheerleading the democratic party. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they were on their payroll.
You’re so much of a victim, unlike the Palestinians who are being actively genocided while you fervently defend the genocider-in-chief who supports it so hard that he’s willing to lose votes over it.
I’ve got news for you, biden is already actively worsening the situation in Gaza. He’s giving israel all they want to carry out their genocide. Don’t talk about privilege while you excuse genocide.
