If this guy runs for president we will have many bots going "oh yeah what about that one time he hesitated to call it a genocide". Don't get me wrong it is %100 a genocide but equating someone with Trump because of this would be ridiculous, he is one of the most progressive democrats around which makes for a nice jumping board.

He can't, he was not born in the USA

trump already put the Constitution in the trash, so it doesn't matter 😛

Neither can a treasonous felon rapist, I once thought.

He was born in Uganda so he can't run for president. No worries there.

We have a rapist, thief, traitor, and war criminal in the oval office. There are many immigrants who have more honor, integrity, and intelligence than Agent "Krasnov" Orange.

Sticking to rules, when the Grand Old Pedophile party uses them selectively, is a fool's game. We must either elect Mamdani or AOC, preferably both, into top offices.

If the GOP protests? Punch them, and ignore their opinion. Because they don't give a shit about law nor decency, and should face the consequences of breaching the social contract.

I kind of think blatantly violating the constitution is a good way to not get put on any ballots in the USA. Like the states board of elections would never go along with that. That's silly talk.

Plenty of politicians that are deserving of the presidency exist aside from AOC.

plus had his slovenian "prostitute" get here on a faux genius visa/ citizenship.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Either of his parents American citizens when he was born?

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Not that I'm aware of. Anyway safe bet he's never going to be vp or president.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

dang it I could almost see the bots

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's because you're accustomed to imagining bots whenever you see opposition to genocide.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

you haven't even read my previous msg did you? oh wait judging by the single downvote on each post you did. I suppose you just did not want to process it in that case.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry. I thought your initial comment was saying that the opposition to genocide that exists is petty and unreasonable and has no legitimate grievances.

Were you not saying that?

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

No what I was saying is more related to discussion in bad faith. I find discussions around things like "Bernie didn't call it a genocide he called only it a horrific crime so he is no different from Trump" quite vacuous and possibly in bad faith too. For instance, I think that if he was the president, US would not be backing the genocide irregardless of whether he called it a genocide or not and that is what matters.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I agree with that. I guess I was just oversensitive because I see that sort of dismissal of genuine objection to genocide all the time.

He eats Dijon mustard!
