Not even a month...

If this is the kind of mental illness floating on the left. strap up and strap in, The Republicans will never lose an election again. Even if they are legit

This is so bad it reminds me of the conspiracy theory that Just Stop Oil is actually run by the Oil corpos, with the aim of being so distasteful they turn people against enviornmentalism.

He's got every flag in his bio except for the US. Who does this guy work for, exactly?

[-] lilaxo@lemm.ee 8 points 9 hours ago

Literally only the mental cases speak this way. By mental cases I mean the people that want destruction of a country for their own greedy reasons instead of building the country to what it once was.

Legit 0 IQ take, holy shit

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago

Now that's some medical-grade copium.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 81 points 23 hours ago

I don't remember hearing any Dems talking about turning Gaza into a beach resort after they purge the locals.

[-] thesven@lemm.ee 15 points 22 hours ago

They didn't say it out loud, but they allowed the Israeli government to bomb the shit out of Gaza.

You mean he said it while Biden was trying to persuade us that he was the one most aligned with Israel?

[-] Mouette@jlai.lu 6 points 22 hours ago

Act matter much more than word

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 30 points 22 hours ago

If you honestly believed he wouldn't act when he was back in power you need to have your head examined.

What a meaningless thing to say in this context, as both parties act the same way: supporting Israel.

So the only difference we have to go by is words. And Trump's are the most ghoulish shit any elected politician has said so far.

[-] Mouette@jlai.lu 7 points 21 hours ago

What a meaningless thing to vote if whatever you vote both parties act the same. I'm glad we have more than 2 political parties in France

Get fucked and civility be damned. Permaban me

Can't hear them over the sound of the bombs they send

Edit: to everyone who upvoted the guy below and downvoted me, check their latest comment in the thread. In case they delete it:

Well, you might recall that the funding was approved by Congress, and Presidents should be impeached and held accountable for overstepping those bounds, like how trump was impeached for withholding aid to Ukraine in 2016. Furthermore, Israel is a long term ally, who suffered a brutal terrorist attack in October, and they are in a precarious situation, as their neighbors are not found of their existence, so we have to toe the line between supporting our ally, but also resist genocide and ethnic cleansing. Turns out, geopolitics is not simple.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 33 points 22 hours ago

Oh, did Trump stop sending bombs? I was under the impression he was escalating things.

Holy shit what a dumb take

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 22 points 20 hours ago

Fuck Jill Stein and every additional piece of shit who promotes her.

Watch this hour long interview Mehdi Hasan did with her. She's fucking horrible and I'm glad the finest interviewer of our time got an hour to push her on her bullshit.

The Green party is fucking worthless.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 15 points 22 hours ago

Especially with Jill "any attention is good attention, have you heard my album?" Stein at the lead. She doesn't want a political platform she just wants a taller soapbox to shout from and act smug from.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

It literally always has been.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 73 points 1 day ago

☐ Genocide and things stay pretty much the same

☐ Extra genocide and things get worse

☐ Waste vote (get extra genocide anyway)

"Democracy"

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Its almost like money and first past the post elections only serve to narrow down political options.

Lol is this real? I've never seen a real person make that argument.

I assume they are just not-so-secretly endorsing Trump. Like, nobody is that dumb.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

This argument boils down to, "I want to be told there isn't a genocide while there still is. I just want the media gone and the watching orgs defunded and threatened so that I don't hear about it. Yes it's still happening at full speed... yes, it's probably even worse now... but I would have heard about it everyday with Harris. With trump, the news is talking about the gulf of America, so I don't have to see it anymore."

No, the argument is about presenting oneself as having superior morals regardless of real world outcomes.

Consequences don’t matter, only adhering radical ideology.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 41 points 1 day ago

People should be free to vote for who best represents them while still counting their vote if their preference didn't win.

Passing state level electoral reform will not only empower the creation of stronger 3rd parties, but also force the legacy political parties to have to compete and actually represent people.

No more safe seats, no more hostage situation, no more voting while holding our noses, only democracy. More democracy was always going to be the solution to this problem. Who could possibly be against more democracy?

Whoa, either they're incredibly unaware of the recent news in Gaza or this is quite mask off about their side and goals. "the moral stain of reelecting genocide"? Give me a fucking break, the conflict was self-resolving right before Trump's inauguration. Now he's fanning the flames.

Y'all wanna blame anyone but the Dems for their shitty campaign. Last time I checked adding all the green party votes to the Democrats wouldn't have changed the outcome.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 7 points 22 hours ago

Both things are true. Dems ran a campaign they didn't care to win but thought they were owed and Stein is a terrible leader welding the green party like a dog she's neglecting because she thinks it makes her look more responsible.

Wait, so how is letting Trump get elected a win for those who oppose genocide?
