I genuinely don’t believe that’s possible. The only thing you could be doing worse is nuking Gaza. I’ll accept that Trump is no better than Biden, but it’s literally not possible to be worse.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 40 points 1 year ago

Actually I think Biden is worse. Biden understands what it happening and is making calculated decisions. Trump would give zero fucks and would just support the side that gave him more contributions.

On the specific issue of Gaza, Biden is definitely worse.

The whole "nuke Gaza" thing has never made sense. The zionist entity wants to colonize Gaza, they wouldn't irradiate the site of their future The Villages But Even More Racist development.

People live in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and they started rebuilding the cities pretty much immediately. Modern bombs are considerably cleaner than the ones dropped on Japan and we understand better how to mitigate the fallout.

no but Trump wouldn’t even have the dignity to pretend to handwring over it at least Biden would get the media to lie about things he doesn’t do behind closed doors

at least if trump was doing it a bunch of brunch-drunk liberals would be up in arms about it.

i'd disclaim accelerationism but it's not even clear which geezer is the accelerationism candidate anymore.

This is basically my position on who is worse. Like they both seemingly have almost identical policies but the media and liberals shit themselves in rage when the one whose doing crimes against humanity is Trump. Biden restarted construction on "The Wall" that Dems made resisting their central optics for several years and then fucking nothing.

Biden has done more damage to the empire than Trump could ever manage

[–] btfod@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

How dare you make me want to vote for Biden

[–] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Biden doesn't seem to be doing that much even. Press releases seem to be the only thing doing any wringing of hands.
