Fiancé genuinely said to me “the situation would be much worse under Trump. I just don’t think you’ve imagined how bad it could get”. As if I were the short-sighted one
We don’t even live in America and he’s constantly telling me Biden has to win or [insert calamity here]. I had been avoiding keeping up with current affairs for a bit because of MH reasons, but now I’m caught up I have realised that he’s been left with nothing but Reddit politics to engage with in the meantime
I’m 99.99% convinced no one says this shit outside of lemmy. No one from the NYT op-ed column to the youtube comment section would make this argument. Only lemmy has the sufficient purity for liberal stemlords to make this insane argument.
someone please reality check me on the above
These people should be banned for genocide apologia.
gonna make a comment that doesn’t call for illegal-to-say
comments>If you are a liberal or progressive who plans not to vote in November over the Biden administration’s support of Israel in the Gaza conflict, you are a fucking moron. Abstaining from voting is the same as handing Trump your vote, because I guarantee conservatives won’t miss this election for the world. :ole-reliable: vote(we should get an ole reliable emote) ---- >Biden is trying to pump the brakes, trump will encourage them to wipe out palestine.
do liberals actually think this? like they actually think biden saying “they gotta stop!” and then sending in another shipment of bombs counts as him “pump(ing) the breaks”? >>Heres the thing, bidens foot is nowhere near the brakes. Hes in the passenger seat at best. Bibi is the one driving, and biden is telling him to slow down. Biden is no more capable of controlling Israel than the EU is, but you dont see people yelling at them for it.
Now people want to replace biden with trump, who would challenge netanyahu to floor it or no balls. they actually think this, huh? ---- >May someone EILI5 why this is the hill that so many, particularly young “progressives” wish to die on?
It seems like if there ever was a “both-sides” topic, this is the one. Why are they willing to accept what the other alternative (a Trump presidency) will be like but not accept the lesser of the two evils (a Biden presidency)? liberals can’t understand being anti-genocide unless it’s explained to them as if they were a toddler. ---- >According to noted philosopher The Good Place, the correct answer is to throw yourself in front of the trolley. so-true it’s just like my treats!!! ---- >“I’m against genocide” says the genocide supporters who will let Trump genocide Palestinians, Ukrainians, Taiwanese, American Muslims, LGBTQ+ Americans, Jewish Americans, Immigrants, and many, many others. and democrats will stand gleefully by and watch it happen, right? ---- >You’re missing about 29,999 bodies on bidens track michael-laugh
it’s like their whole thing, you know? or at least it’s supposed to be but they never do it! as a staunch fan of political violence it’s very frustrating to me.
