The point would be to at least get something out of Biden. Not just to give up without any demands. Bluffs and all that.

Lol neoliberals are stroking themselves about how clever this is and just out of view there was another choice back in 2020.

But they like to ignore the fact they voted for a geriatric, procorporate genocide supporting candidates in the 2020 primaries.

Thats crazy how every government only has two parties

If your point is that the American system is fucked, we all know. We've known for decades. We're trying to fix it, but progress is basically nonexistent, because every politician who is currently elected benefits from our fucked system. Trying to get to a parliamentary system, like most developed real democracies, is almost entirely out of reach. Just getting ranked choice voting is like pulling teeth, and we'll have to create a brand new party to have politicians free from corporate interests.

I will have to fight all my life to enact positive change in this country, all because a bunch of rich white assholes who came to power long before I was born have stolen my future from me. Don't belittle us, mourn for us and never, ever repeat our mistakes.

Biden is anti-abortion, anti-BLM, doesn't care about muslims... Not saying the tracks are equal, but it is definitely not as one sided as this.

[-] evranch@lemmy.ca 13 points 5 months ago

Why should he "care about Muslims" any more than any other group? Would your opinion be the same that he should care about Christians? Jews? Buddhists?

The president of the USA is supposed to care about Americans.

Also Biden is not even slightly anti-abortion, wtf. Biden is a Catholic and would not personally choose to abort a child of his own, but as the President he supports the right to choose in service to the office and not to his personal beliefs.

This is what it means to be President, to do what is right for the people even if it goes against your own opinions. Did Trump really lower our expectations that badly?

Pakistan got the CIA coup treatment under BIden's term, so this meme is already wrong.

Why are you blaming the voters for not choosing the lesser evil, instead of blaming the dems for forcing them to make that choice in the first place?

Stop supporting and enabling the fucking genocide, then it's a no-brainer for everyone. And with so many other people's lives at stake as well as the Palestinians, how dare the dems play chicken?

Absolutely insane democrat-mental-gymnastics

Would they have the US still being a two party race no matter what in 2100? In 2200?

You know the real solution to the trolley problem that is used in real life? Purposeful derailment. You let the front wheels go down one side, then flip the switch, and the back wheels follow the other path, which derails the trolley.

It either kills everyone, or saves everyone. And then you can figure out a better option as you untie your rail prisoners.

The let it burn and start over crowd are in this third category. The vote for Mickey Mouse crowd is not.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

It kills the trolley passengers.

The reality is you're a actually on the rails, a billionaire is controlling the trolley, and the passengers are all ruling class.

You can vote for who controls the trolley. The trolley has a brake but they won't use it because there are profits to be had.

Derailment is the only thing that will bring about meaningful change.
