You leftist rabble-rousers with your lofty ideals of "not doing a genocide" don't know anything about getting elected and getting things done

*loses 2 elections to the most disliked president in history*

DAMN YOU PUTIN!

You gotta understand, we only had three months to distance ourselves from Biden but also didn't want to. It was the only way to make sure the donors were happy. You understand right? Stop blaming us for taking no positions and blame yourself for demanding us to take a position to secure your vote. It was a completely unreasonable ask and you knew it!

What next, you'll demand to be able to afford rent AND food on the average wage? Pick one and be grateful

Liberals: but what if we compromised, how about only some genocide? What if Israel only tortured half as many babies? What if Israel only illegally annexed half of the West Bank instead of their current plan to annex the entire thing? What if people were able to afford 50% of rent and 50% of all bills? What if we only cut Medicare and Medicaid by 50%?

Don't be silly, liberals aren't offering to spare half the Palestinians, there offering "killing all of them, but with a troubled expression on our face."

its so funny seeing all the libs seething that many people think biden got what he had coming if not got off extremely easily considering the evil shit he’s done. they dont see the evil tho. they just see that he’s a democrat so surely that must mean he’s good.

when brandon dies the universe will be righting a wrong. fuck him. no sympathy or empathy for him or his fucked up family who have neither for any of us or our families or especially those in palestine or otherwise exploited oppressed nations

I was kind of surprised they are batting this hard for Genocide Joe when he already lost them the election. You'd think that after Biden screwed their winning chances they would have slightly more disdain for him.

Not because of the genocide of course, they don't care about that because it doesn't affect them.

This is because the DNC doesn't actually want to win, that's why they ran him in the first place, but frustratingly failed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in 2020

They will die on this hill, they don't have the balls to face the reality that the US is a genocidal nation.

[–] WorkingClassCorpse@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago

They see Biden like he's their dying racist grandpa

I think a lot of people are neglecting to think of Biden's lifetime record in public office. The United States is the nation on Earth with the greatest proportion of its own citizens imprisoned and we have Biden's 1994 crime bill in large part to thank for that. Unfortunately it wasn't terribly shocking when he went on to be more supportive of the Palestinian genocide than any other president in US history other than Trump.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 weeks ago

They're not neglecting it, they're purposefully ignoring it. People will tag (correctly, mind you) Reagan, Nixon, and Dubya as the issue of modern America, but if you bring up the voting/writing record of the most recent Blue Guy, somehow its not their fault, people are allowed to change, people can learn better, etc. etc.

Libs stop thinking in electoralist terms challenge [back-breakingly toilsome]

Democrat politicians abandoned you decades ago and don't have your interest in mind, please please PLEASE stop defending them/putting your hopes on them (and the electoral Kabuki theater in general) and do something about your situation yourselves. Organize, build community, help people in need, use your privilege where it matters.

It's too late for elections, even more if that's the one and only thing you're willing to do politically. You might "win" a presidential term for a democrat president next time but the damage is already done and everything is rotting around you.

All this dumb bickering about "voting for the lesser evil" is incredibly frustrating for people from countries who endured dictatorships. So if anything, listen to them and act before it's too late.

I've already run into this today and been accused of alienating "Palestine supporters" for suggesting that Joe Biden deserves a bomb dropped on his head.

Fucking civility perverts...

I won't excuse genocide. And apparently I'm the devil because of it.

If someone can excuse genocide that's a personal failing they should see to.

Feddit already permabanned me for calling the German government Nazis a few weeks ago so their precious eyes are protected from seeing this meme.

Every liberal would be cheering and partying in the streets if Trump got stage 4 cancer.

Then they turn around and say "Wow you're so uncivil for cheering for the guy who has aided in a genocide, helped make COVID a permanent issue, ignored kids in cages, and made Trump run again."

Do they just not see all the issues with their favorite candidates or are they just unable to witness their own doublethink?

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Blue MAGA is not a saying born lightly. These people are truly incapable of seeing their own party for the monters they are.

I got plenty of downvotes for not having sympathy for biden the other day

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

Which one though? Is it Xi Jinping? Putin? Charles Taylor? Bush? Blair? Netanyahu? Ratko Mladic? Jean Kambanda? Samphan? Assad (not that old I suppose)?

There are so many of them

ETA: I see the downvotes. I truly have no fucking clue who you are talking about. Duterte? Lukashenko?
