On one hand, you have people who are mostly comfortable with letting Palestinians die. On the other, people who openly talk about nuking them.
You have a group of people who may be willing to throw minorities under the bus. And you have another group that is waiting for the opportunity to do so and make it law.
Both choices are terrible, I agree, but there is one that is a clear better over the other. It sucks, but you have to accept that it's the way it is for now and you are not going to pull some third party out of your ass. That is going to have to wait for now. You have to make a decision between the lesser of two evils.
I'm counting on you, Americans. As a trans woman from a European country which political climate is heavily influenced by yours, I can quite confidently say that my rights are in your hands.
Quite frankly, I can't think of a more terrifying thought, but it is what it is.
Don't fuck this up. Please.
As a trans person in America, shut the fuck up 😀
Hey, if you'd rather have the Republicans open fascists in power, you do you. I question your survival instincts, but still. I just hope you're just a tiny vocal minority, otherwise we might be all fucked. Or, if you're not a vocal minority... well, I hope you're right and I'm wrong.
We'll see I guess.
Trans people are under attack with our current administration. No reason to fear a future that's already happening.
I love it. It doesn't matter that Biden has consistently supported trans rights with tangible action during his administration, trans people are still under attack, so it's Literally All The Same. Like people who ask why there are still fires if there are firefighters.
The tangible actions he waited until his final year of the term to enact, that are instantly being challenged by states. That's not consistent and it's hardly tangible. You're not going to tell me that my own struggles are worth ignoring a genocide.
So which is it? He hasn't done anything or he waited too long in his term? How does any of this even compare to the other guy??? Sometimes I wonder if you guys are smoking shrooms because you make no sense
He waited too long to do barely anything. It's okay if reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.
Even if it was "barely anything" which is not true, how is the alternative better? Address the points without the unnecessary banter.
A token display of support that you know will be annulled, and thus have no consequences, is meaningless. Just keep on speaking for minority groups who dare question Democrat orthodoxy and its tokenism, I'm sure that'll endear you to them eventually.
You know what? You deserve the other guy. Good luck
It always comes out that y'all are just as hateful. You're the one gleefully threatening fascism.
There's just no winning with you guys. There will never be a perfect candidate. How can you not understand that? The fact that I have to argue the difference between a "token of support" versus complete annihilation is so mind boggling stupid. But here we are. Last thing I'll say: Biden is far from perfect but change takes time: It's incremental. There will be no revolution until you get the whole party on board. Good luck with your nihilism.
The bar is so low, just don't do genocide. You're the nihilist who thinks we have to accept that.
Israel has been a strategic ally in the middle east for decades. We've been trying to broker peace negotiations with Hamas since forever. The arms deals have slowed, with Rafah being a major point of contention. It's really fun to scream about genocide on Lemmy --the real world is much more complicated.
Lmao I don't give a fuck about United States military strategy, especially if it requires funding genocide to enact. That's a horrible reason to do genocide. Because the land will be useful for a world superpower? Do you hear yourself???
I think you're unable to hear anyone but yourself
I heard you, you care more about military positioning than genocide.
Nop, not at all what I said.
OK so you are just arguing in bad faith to get that guy upset. If we get trump again you never bidens -will- deserve it. You'll lose. Hard.

Too busy smoking shrooms to skip the banter!
So what do you want to actually happen?
Honestly there is no amount of support for trans rights that he could do that would make me overlook Biden's support of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Spain just vowed to turn away ships at their ports carrying weapons for Israel and recognize Palestine as a state. The United States is continuing to send bombs, and the only action that has been taken is ... threatening to send smaller bombs. It's absolutely disgusting, and this is what Biden is doing. I am horrified.
It's funny. I've had this song and dance before. When I break out previous actions towards guaranteeing trans rights, it immediately shifts from "It was too late in his term" to "Well it wasn't enough".
I said both of those things! 😀 It was too late and also not enough! 😀
Great, now we're celebrating kettle logic.
You're telling me I'm moving the goalposts I'm telling you the goal was never scored.
That's right, and it never will be, because you'll always have another excuse ready.
You're just imagining situations to get mad at lmao
Biden can't control right wing wackadoo legislation.
