I'm glad Trump isn't doing any genocide. /s

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

Fuck them. Hiding behind such a horrible thing to support trump.

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 12 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 13 points 18 hours ago

Now that's some medical-grade copium.

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

[-] thesven@lemm.ee 17 points 1 day 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?

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 34 points 1 day 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 23 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.

☐ Genocide and things stay pretty much the same

☐ Extra genocide and things get worse

☐ Waste vote (get extra genocide anyway)

"Democracy"

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

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

The Green party is fucking worthless.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 15 points 1 day 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 3 points 18 hours ago

It literally always has been.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] 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?

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.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago

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.
