When did lemmy become such a shithole? I know people here tend to be young, but I thought they were generally more intelligent than this shit. So much "genocide Joe" bullshit. People that will refuse to vote, and then completely absolve themselves when they hand it to Trump and the genocide escalates.
It's not about Palestinian lives, it's about making sure you don't feel guilty for personally voting for Joe Biden.
Grow the fuck up
It’s just idiots, can’t escape them. Not on Reddit, not on Lemmy, and not when it comes to deciding our shared fate via elections. And I assume some portion of the “genocide Joe” crowd are just plants.
You can demand better from your elected officials, while continuing to vote for them. Joe is a horrible democrat candidate, and I have zero qualms about making that known. But he’s also the only candidate the party has been willing to put forth, so it’s who I’ll end up voting for. That doesn’t mean I need to be happy or enthusiastic about voting for him.
Biden is actively giving money to a genocidal state, I'm still going to vote for him because the only other choice is a literal fascist who wants to start genocides here as well.
One can literally hate Joe Biden, and still continue to vote for Joe Biden. If I am in the position of voting for democratic candidates that aren't funded by AIPAC, and is willing to be critical against Israel, I'd vote for them unless forced to (the other candidate is a Republican.). I think the responsible thing to do is to continue criticizing the decision to support Israel, as well as their action, reject Hamas, vote for democratic candidates and try picking the ones that aren't paid for by the AIPAC.
Ok, protesting and poking Joe with a stick is not the same as refusing to vote for him in the general election.
