AI_toothbrush,

What do the stupid tiktokers respond with to this when they say they wont vote for biden because hes a war criminal. Like, i agree that hes a war criminal but why should an even worse war criminal be elected?

disguy_ovahea,

Abstaining from the election is a choice, not a protest. Inaction is action.

CptOblivius,

If you are pissing off Republicans, it means you are doing the right thing nowadays.

ZoopZeZoop,

Is there some stupid ass quota for using “slam” in headlines? So sick of this sensationalized BS.

xmunk,

Just to clarify… They’re slamming him for this because it’s how he’ll win the election. They want him to keep supporting Netanyahu so that young voters don’t turn out. Don’t let the GOP use you as a puppet.

treefrog,

Exactly.

Biden will pull in way more votes by cutting off Israel than Trump will complaining about it.

So I’m kind of glad there making a big stink of it. I see it is a free political ad for Biden!

Makeitstop,

It doesn’t matter whether they think this is a winning strategy for Biden or not. Either way, attacking him over it is the best move for them. Attacking Biden can stir up their base and/or win over any independents that are in favor of supporting Israel, and there’s basically no downside because there aren’t a lot of pro-Palestinian people to alienate on their side of the aisle.

xmunk,

Oh absolutely… my statement was more directed at hesitant likely democratic voters who are uncertain whether to vote for Biden or sit out the coming election.

Melkath,

As much as this wants to warm my blackened and disenfranchised heart, I think this outlook is too optimistic.

Biden squelched a primary that liberals begged for, and instead focused on getting balls deep into genocide.

The first wave of primaries hit, with only his name on Dem ballots, and he lost to "uncomitted"/blank.

He said "I am placing sanctions on Israel", he placed sanctions on 3 men who are Israeli.

Then he demanded "order" and villainized college students peacefully protesting his genocide.

Then, this fuckin genius, doubled down and condemned ISRAELI CITIZENS protesting his genocide.

So he got all sorts of backlash, got similar results in a few more primaries.

So he said "I am canceling arms deals with Israel" and put a PAUSE on ONE of the many arms deals his SoS is closing with Israel.

If he ends ALL arms deals with Israel. If he places sanctions on Israel as a whole. If he disavows and admonishes Bibi, then that might give him a shadow of a shot.

The liberals he has disenfranchised from the Democrat party see his tactics though, and those tactics are straight out of the fascist playbook. They also bank on the fact that liberal voters are stupid and will forget all about this hiccup in a week.

I've said it a million times and I'll say it a million more: American liberals don't buy "progressive" fascism, and will not vote for a genocidal fascist, even if another genocidal fascist is in the race.

disguy_ovahea,

I completely agree. I posted this to remind people what abstaining from the election would invite for protesters and Palestinians.

Trump would just drop 10 MOABs on Gaza day one for the fun of it. Luckily, he said he’d “only be a dictator for a day,” so day two, I’m sure nothing bad will happen /s

Please remind your friends and family to vote. If there was ever an election that mattered since the Civil War, it’s most likely this one, where one party isn’t even trying to hide that they no longer want a democracy.

disguy_ovahea,

Absolutely. We also went from sussing out Russian influence in Congress to a President who was in their pocket. From Truman to Trump in 60 years. It’s bonkers.

the only thing trump can slam is a hamberder.

billiam0202,

I hear he’s pretty good at slamming ketchup bottles on the walls.

That’s what he wants you to believe. His pitch is worse than mine though.

disguy_ovahea,

and then his diaper
