A great philosopher once noted that Evil will always triumph, because Good is dumb.

We are not choosing good over evil, we are choosing the lesser of two evils though the line is getting blurrier.

50 years of accepting any degree of evil has resulted in these two pieces of shit being the options available. The lesser evil eventually grows into an enormous evil

Are you seriously suggesting that Biden is almost as bad as Trump?

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 13 points 7 months ago

People really have absolutely no idea how much genuinely good things Biden has done because they only pretend to care about Gaza and they're too stupid to realize that Trump will be 100x worse for the entire world including Gaza

Are you seriously incredulous at such a comparison?

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago

If Biden was good he would have said AIPAC be damned, there's children being blown to bits and pieces over there. Your support is pulled, Jack."

But he didn't. I don't want any of this other shit about politics either. Fuck that. Executive order that shit away if you have to. Put American fucken boots on the ground, if Americans want to be heroes maybe we can leverage this massive fucken military to dig people our of the ashes and rubble.

But whatever you fucken do, don't change definitions to keep getting fucked by Beni. My eyes are fucken bloodshot. Stop. What is anyone going to do? You wield the biggest stick in the known universe. Protect people with it you fucken goon.

Good isn't running.

I'm not sure, who this good she is referring to is

So. Our democracy hinges on the fact that the lesser of two evils is being a clown, to protect a ICC criminal dictator, while innocent civilians die daily, and will for another 7 months, to American paid bombs.

I wonder if we can move to Canada based on political asylum from Trump. Because if not, we are so fucked.

they are both evil and in service to the exact same people. one will definitely destroy this country but functionally what will the difference be? we will still fight all the same battles regardless.

maybe the brainworm guy is our best option lol.

[-] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago

This might be the dumbest take I've heard in a while.

[-] 4grams@awful.systems 6 points 7 months ago

Well, I’m kidding about rfk.

[-] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

The rest of it was stupid, too.

[-] 4grams@awful.systems 6 points 7 months ago

I love you too.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

The majority? Absolutely! Too bad that's not how we elect Presidents.
