I see genocide isn't a dealbreaker for her.
We had two choices:
A. genocide (with a slight chance to stop it).
B. genocide (with a strong chance for authoritarianism).
Unfortunately (thanks in part to misinformation like yours) we got choice B. So shut the fuck up.
The point they were making was that this woman should still have been in the streets protesting genocide regardless of the sitting president. They are calling the complicity of this womans desire for inaction disgusting and it should be viewed that way. Getting your genocidal fuck in office does not absolve you of responsibility, if anything you should demand more from them. Going back to brunch means being comfortable with the crimes of your empire just because you aren't threatened by them at that moment.
So you do know you have very few choices. How astute of you! Did you figure that out all on your own?
This is what you call a democracy? No anti-genocide choice, so just move on and normalize atrocities until the fascists kill you too. I'm never gonna look at the democrats as being separate from the Republicans again, because theyre not. They meet halfway with genocide when there should be none!
Unfortunately (thanks to living in a shithole) there’s no anti-genocide choice
And what the 2024 nominee, Kamala Harris, who, you know, the presumptive or leading nominee for 2028, she’s she signaled she’s going to run again. One would be curious what she would say about this. She has not commented. She lost the election about seven months ago. Has not commented at all on Gaza, except twice to hand-wring about Israeli hostages. She’s not opposed anything Trump has done with respect to the genocide in Gaza, not publicly at least. She hasn’t publicly condemned anything that Trump has done with respect to Iran. And the bombing happened last night. Since then, she hasn’t issued a statement. She hasn’t condemned it. She hasn’t opposed it. Now, a lot of people say, Oh, well, Harris would have been better than Trump. Again, very possible, but the one person in the world who could solve this mystery, which is Kamala Harris herself, has yet to criticize Trump on the subject of Israel at all.
It was bound to happen that the worst of the worse would won. Since american been fine with a teo party system for centuries
Because this administration stopped the genocide, right?
THEY DID SOMETHING. FUCKING ANYTHING.
Trump's a shitstain of a human, but so is every other of your politicians. Everybody knows they're liars, yet you pick favorites and sides. There was absolutely no chance Biden/Harris would back down, and, with the democrats in charge, you'd go back to living as though politics is a game for you and not recognize for others it's life and death.
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! American liberals are the stupidest, most inbred Neanderthals I've ever had the displeasure of knowing. You are more harmful to resistance than any individual Republican, and I'm well aware that after voting you'd just sit back and not care about children being burnt alive.
Fuck your "elections". A 2 party system was never a democracy. You've never been free. EVERYBODY else knows that the West, and most of all America, are fucking lying about freedom and democracy every time they open their shit eating mouths.
When are you going to fucking catch up?
You expect people to automatically have the correct opinions like we're all born ultra-leftist and act as though any belief that deviates indicates a flaw in their cognitive ability or a personality defect. You think a single mother working three jobs just needs to be scolded about praxis by some college-aged brat who just discovered Kropotkin last week? Do you think the black family whose about to lose their apartment from gentrification deserves it because they didn't have a Marxist reading group every Friday?
It's a shitty attitude to have and speaks volumes about your feelings of superiority. Try being more charitable instead of getting salty about people being imperfect.
This was a cathartic read
I understand the anger. I really do. But you need to relax. Because anger and hatred isn’t going to get us anywhere.
We need to try and understand each other better. We need solidarity, and that will only come from attempting to, in good faith, understand each other and where we come from.
We all have much more in common than you’d think, but speaking like this is just going to close the conversation off instead of opening it up.
Oh boy, how do you keep a brain so big in your head? Must be a real burden.
Its the same as saying that a person who puts a house on fire is as guilt as someone who did not put it off. Top burguerlander mental performance
You say that like Trump isn’t actively pouring gasoline on the fire.
"Its the same as saying that a person who puts a house on fire is as guilt as someone who [watched and] did not put it off. Top burguerlander mental performance"
ftfy
So if someone puts a house on fire, you see it and dont do anything, would it be fair to arrest both of you? Yes or no question
Yeah and that's the problem...
It’s a country well trained to think that centrists are leftists. All they gotta do is be better than the comically evil one and all their problems are solved!
Translated: if a democrat were president, we wouldn't care about the genocide, suppression of speech on university campuses, racist police brutality, and deportations, and we'd be having brunch while those things are happening, just like we did during the Biden regime
That's some unhealthy projection
no u
I don't get why you're salty, you escaped the terrible unbearable clutches of Biden regime, just like you wanted all this time, now there is presumably no genocides, and university campuses are doing just great, right?
My god you type are stupid as fuck, arentcha?
Genocidal brunch is what got us here.
Liberals are racists. The signs have been there all along, but it took me until very recently to notice it. Until November 2023 for me.
Edit: the sidebar made me feel safe to share my thoughts and opinions. I didn’t expect the Liberal Inquisition. I had liberals explain to me why the genocide in Gaza was necessary and if those were a fringe then there is also a video of Bill Clinton saying the same.
Saying 'liberals are racists' because of a few examples is like saying 'teachers are abusive' because a couple of bad ones made headlines. It’s not just a stretch. It’s a serious mischaracterization of the vast majority.
The overwhelming majority of liberals actively oppose racism and work toward inclusion, even if their approaches or language might differ. Just like with any group, there are going to be outliers, contradictions, and some people who get it wrong. But that’s not the same as the group being racist.
We should absolutely call out racism wherever it exists, but we should also be honest enough not to assign guilt to an entire, diverse set of people based on a biased sample or a personal turning point. That’s not truth-seeking. That’s scapegoating."
You are stupid. Now that is a fact and not a coarse generalization.
MAGA will just say enjoy your avocado toast and mimosas. Lib trash! I'm going to church!
Enjoy your stale cracker you pretend is a portion of the body of a naked man you like to cannibalize each week.
Oh I will 🥵🥵😩😩
🤣 🤣 🤣
is this a joke? is someone trying to ironic-sign the ironic-sign march? why do we live in this timeline
The Democratic National Convention™ of Libjerk
Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
- No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
- Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
- This is a genAI friendly instance, so no complaining about genAI content.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.
