Lol. Lmao even. Hearty laugh.
Lmfao so what about Palestine
Restraining them by -checks notes- sending them weapons and allowing them to use their satellite data to bomb them? By trying to redefine antisemitism as criticism of Israel and therefore trying to validate their actions?🤔
The word you're looking for is "enabling", as in "Joe is enabling the genocide of Palestinians less than Trump would".
Also you need something to back up the claim.
Nigga the point is both sides are doing the same shit so why vote for either? Jesus man
What ballot initiative is there we can vote on to stop the genocide?
You're the only one advocating for doing nothing about genocide, you scum
There are third parties who do not endorse genocide, if you are twisting yourself in circles to justify voting for genocide then I do not respect you or anything you claim to stand for, and you are my enemy.
I hope you and every single person you love burn to death
They're banned btw, they reported you folks first and I banned them before your report even came in lol
Our massive, majestic mods!
What was their report?
Whining about being bullied after starting a fight and doubling down on lib takes.
Lmao typical. "Hexbears are so mean and aggressive! All I did was come in, say stupid shit in a condescending way and not engage with any arguments! They're not interested in polite discussion at all!"
I don't support genocide so I won't support Joe Biden: Twisting, winding, complicated path.
I don't support genocide which is why I vote for Joe Biden the genocide because he's going to maybe commit less genocide than another candidate and also by voting for and thereby normalising genocide I'll be shifting the overton window left somehow, and it's really important we do that because then in a few elections time I might be able to vote for a democrat who isn't pro-genocide: Straightforward, simple path
So... I'm not hearing that he actually paused, or even reduced, the weapon shipments here, which kinda means you're still just assuring us that trump would definitely be way worse.
Shut your reddittoid debatelord fuck hole you little pissweasel, I haven't moved a single goalpost - I asked for evidence Trump would be worse, and you failed to provide that, so I asked follow up questions so your ignorant ass could find a better way to make your point.
Also, you do know about the result of that aid pause, right? Israel invaded Rafah anyway and Joe backed down like a good imperialist dog. Holding back some bombs for a little while didn't slow the genocide in the slightest, it just meant their stockpiles didn't get replenished quite so quickly. Like sure, technically you fulfilled your own conditions of showing Biden paused the shipments, but the goalposts I set at the start were Biden enabling the genocide less than Trump (hypothetically) would. If the pause not only has no effect on the genocide, but ends up being backtracked on, can you really say that he's enabling them less than Trump would? Sure the schedule's not the same, but the effects are.
Fuck off and die you disgusting ghoul
I'm not voting for a guy that enables genocide.
Ok so try political change that destroys a system that forces you to vote for blue or red genocide every 2 years
this is what i would vote for
If neither major presidential candidate is moving against genocide, might it be better to build up a new party that is against genocide, or join an existing anti-genocide party?
Depends on the direct ways in which one party is better, by how much, and what will materially change.
PSL does exist, and Claudia De La Cruz is on the ballot representing them. If that's all that is necessary to be a relevant proposal then I implore you to suggest PSL to your friends and family.
Sure wish there was a Primary I could have voted in, and I sure wish the DNC had any good candidates to begin with.
PSL has been recieving increased support at a rapid pace.
My insulin for 30 days with insurance was 215$
Fuck you
Remind me how this is Medicare 4 All?
It's capped for people on Medicare. It's not capped generally.
That insulin should be free. The patent for insulin was sold for a dollar by the original inventors because they recognized what it meant.
Your point stands, I guess, the complaint I have is that Biden farts in the wind and calls it perfume and wants credit for it.
If this was satire it would be fucking hilarious
If he's not freeing the slaves I don't care
