ToAllPointsWest,

The tragedy here is that supporting genocide isn’t a criminal offense. Censure at a minimum, but he really needs significant legal consequences

postmateDumbass,

No narcissism epidemic in America. Nope. Not at all.

This is disgusting. I hope this guy gets voted out.

Unsurprisingly the “genocide Joe” crowd never comments on articles like this when Republicans say or do stupid shit. I’m looking at you @linkerbaan

Ensign_Crab,

I will. This is all Republicans are. This stupid genocidal shit right here.

No one should be supporting genocide.

EssentialCoffee,

Likely not. His constituents are nutters.

RampantParanoia2365,

…wouldn’t that just be nuking both of them? Israel is about the size of New Jersey.

postmateDumbass,

Yes, he thinks he is brilliant for his subtlety.

zerog_bandit,

Remember all the people saying we shouldn’t vote for Biden because of what’s happening in Gaza? It’s literally all over this website.

This is the alternative. Vote in November.

Ensign_Crab,

We should vote for Biden. Biden should also stop supporting genocide.

Etterra,

Alternatively, nuke Jerusalem and everyone will stop fighting over it.

Jk, it wouldn’t stop shit.

RampantParanoia2365,

Actually it would, because Israel is the size of New Jersey and Gaza is about the size of a neighborhood in Jersey. It would stop everything in and around both of them.

MaxPow3r11,

These fucks are evil.

phoneymouse,

Americans have forgotten all of the lessons of WWII.

postmateDumbass,

Israel apparently as well.

ansiz,

To be fair all guys like this remember is that we dropped nukes on Japan and the war ended. That’s the depth of the thought process. Maybe also that we didn’t drop nukes on Vietnam and we lost. That sounds about right for that guy’s age.

RamblingPanda,

What about making assholes responsible for inciting terror and violence and kicking them out of office? There’s a responsibility coming with the job, and he’s not fit to meet the entry level.

Blackmist, (edited )

Well, both sides still look the same to me…

Edit: y’all sarcasm detectors clearly need calibrating.

halferect,

I think it’s because on lemmy a large portion of active people are saying those things non sarcastically so my initial reaction was OK another one of these chuckle heads who scream genocide Joe and both sides! You have to put a /s because that’s the world we live in now

I get what you’re saying.

However, the time to effect change while suffering a first past the post voting system is between elections, campaigning for electoral reform in your state.

Switching away from first past the post voting allows people to vote for who represents them best while still counting their vote against those they dont want to win. Just search for videos on FPTP voting if you want an explanation on why the spoiler effect exists, and how that makes third parties not viable.

Electoral reform is possible in each individual state (for now), we dont need federal reform! Maine and Alaska have already passed electoral reform.

So what’s the hold up with the rest of the states? Consider starring a campaign to change how we vote in your own state! Force our representatives to compete with fresh outside ideas. We deserve the best representation, not excuses.

Who could possibly say no to more democracy?

Highlybaked,

Pretty average statement from a republican, why do people support these deranged monsters again? I thought there was limits to stupidity but Americans keep making me hold their beer

GiddyGap,

I once considered myself an Independent voter who could go with either a Democrat or a Republican. Republicans are making it very easy these days to call myself a Democrat.

JustZ,

My wife’s family was all Republicans. The matriarch is even a politician and was elected as a Republican.

With my goading, Trump’s four years in office was enough to convert all of them to Democrats.

They see it like, to the extent they were ever Republican, that’s not today’s Republican party, period.

@hark@lemmy.world avatar

That’s great, but unfortunately that’s only a temporary victory since once trump is gone, it’ll be seen as if the problem has been rid of, when in reality the problem is republican policy as usual, which trump is following to a T.

sailingbythelee,

It’s nice to hear a story with a good outcome. Thanks.

itsonlygeorge,

We need a new word for stereotypes that’s way worse.

FreakinSteve,

Why not nuke Bethleham or Tel Aviv?

theotherverion,

For the same reason why nuking Gaza is a terrible idea.

Reptorian,

This. The issue in that region is bad actors making it harder on those that just want to live in peace. Middle East has to be babysitted by America, because the alternative hurts those that just want peace more.

FreakinSteve,

Why do the people never do anything about the bad actors themselves?

Reptorian,

Ok, a bit late of a response. The answer, their supporters are shielding them.

Then where would they build their condos?
