Exactly. But we still have weasels even on here defending their genocide-loving asses. The Democratic party needs to be purged or burned to the ground. We're in a two party system. And the Democratic party is currently the biggest barrier to progress in the country. It is fundamentally beyond reformation. Only by burning it to ashes will leave space for an actual left wing party to rise.

Don't look now, but you summoned one.

[–] Tja@programming.dev -1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes, if democrats were in power, people would be starving in Gaza right now. Wait...

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why are you pretending that you don't love it anymore?

[–] Tja@programming.dev -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Never had, fuck Israel and fuck netanyahu. But Biden at least pretended to help. Even if it didn't help that much, building a pier for humanitarian help is better than building a gaudy hotel and golf resort.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're really touting the pier that fell apart because a wave hit it?

[–] Tja@programming.dev -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I take a flimsy pier over genocide.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't pretend it was either or.

You got your flimsy pier and your genocide.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, you had a pier and genocide, now you have no pier, turbo genocide and a golf resort. I liked the first one better.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, I voted for harris and wanted her to stop. I'm not going to stop criticizing her wing of the party for making morally reprehensible choices just because you think second most immoral is moral.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm not saying it's moral, it's the lesser evil.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The election is over. Why are you still carrying water for evil?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm not, I'm taking about the past.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're defending genocide support. Because it's all you believe in.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm not defending genocide support, I am defending not making the genocide worse as the first step to get rid of genocide altogether. You must be the other guy.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m not defending genocide support, I am defending not making the genocide worse as the first step to get rid of genocide altogether.

You're absolutely defending genocide. harris said she wouldn't differ from biden, whose refusal to curtail arms sales to netanyahu worsened the genocide. It didn't sToP iT fRoM gEtTiNg WoRsE, biden made it worse. for you.

so it is with all incrementalism. Do as little as possible while shit gets worse, announce that you're helping.

gestures into the general Gaza direction

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't put Gaza in my pants, that's a super weird thing to say.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And here you are again, deliberately misunderstanding. Centrists don't do honesty, ever.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't know about them, I'm a European socialist, so quite to the left of Bernie Sanders even. What I'm not is blind to the reality of trump voting Americans.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don’t know about them, I’m a European socialist

If you lie so. Go support genocide at someone else.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 1 week ago

It's what I vote. And you opinion of genocide is actually backwards, so Im glad you think that about me. I'd be worried if you agreed. Have the day you voted for!

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe Kamala would have won if Biden stopped all aod to Israel?

[–] Tja@programming.dev -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I doubt it, the goalpost would have been moved. Kamala was clearly less bad and still lost.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And yet people still voted for Biden in 2020. Maybe the idea that the left will simply never support Democrats and will always move the goalposts is just a shit idea.

[–] Tja@programming.dev -4 points 1 week ago

Biden in 2020 was in the middle of the pandemic and Biden was a dude.
