"We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not."

That's gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I've heard in a while.

Still better then genocide. You and your fellow cohorts would be in an uproar if the exact same thing was happening if a republican was in the WH. You don't care about people's lives, only the one doing the killing

If supporting Israel is supporting genocide than Trump supports that too. Trump is one of Netanyahus strongest supporters, LOL.

I said nothing about supporting trump, I said oppose Biden. But Biden does happen to be the largest recipient of JStreet money

[-] shitescalates@midwest.social 12 points 1 year ago

Opposing Biden is supporting Trump unfortunately in our two party system. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Instead of voters punching left, they should be making demands of the DNC to replace Biden.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

How do you plan to convince people to do that? What strategy would you employ?

Talk is cheap. Idealogues like you are glib to demand change, but y'all never have a viable plan to get there.

We do have viable plans, but have to fight fucking shitlibs 24/7 that are convinced it's their way or nothing. Your way doesn't work

Is your way any different though? It seems you're just as convinced it's your way or nothing. If the tables were turned, and a bunch of liberals were refusing to vote for a communist incumbent unless they had more neoliberal policy, would you agree that the communists should compromise?

Everyone's self assured of their path being the righteous one. What actually makes them different though is if you're willing to do the same if the tables are turned. If you aren't, then why should you expect the same of your opponent?

There should be NO compromise with anything or any party that prefers capital over people. Democrats claim to support marginalized communities then vote for politicians that enact laws against the marginalized. Which translates to you dont have our back other than for social clout. I trust someone that hates me to my face over someone that does it covertly

[-] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

And as a non white guy, I fear for my family more with the person who hates me to my face than the one who whispers about it behind my back.

Democrats claim to support marginalized communities then vote for politicians that enact laws against the marginalized. Which translates to you dont have our back other than for social clout.

Can you explain then why most minority voters tend to pick Democrats over Republicans? Or why black voters vastly preferred Biden over Sanders?

You and your fellow cohorts would be in an uproar if the exact same thing was happening if a republican was in the WH.

You're making it obvious that you have a double-standard and are simply projecting that.

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

There's no double standard, your comment makes the assumption I advocate for a Republican

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

There’s no double standard, your comment makes the assumption I advocate for a Republican

I made no such assumption. But considering how quickly you jumped on this despite me not saying, it's clear how much you were intentionally baiting it.

Projecting and not arguing in good faith. Probably should be obvious from your name that you're just a bad troll.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

"Me and my cohorts" you seem to know who I am. Why dont you tell me about myself, and I can explain a "false dichotomy" to you.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
