What the actual fuck? They are pretty clear what they want. ONE we stop giving weapons to isreal. TWO we stop getting in the way of a cease fire. THREE we start giving humanitarian aid to trapped Palestinians. FOUR we cooperate with The Hague on what evidence we have on isreal war crimes.
These are things we could do without much effort that would have immediate impact on both stopping the genocide and boosting his numbers.
I get we want “our strategic ally in the Middle East” but maybe if we stop doing all the war crimes and genocide we wouldn’t need to write a blank check to Israel every-time they run out of genocide juice. If our status as an ally to isreal is contingent on what we are doing, we are not an ally we are being used.
It seems this thread pops up every time Fox News talks about Biden’s slipping numbers. The disillusionment of the left is real. And calling them out and saying “but trump!” Is not going to convince them, it’s not like they forgot.
If they complain about Biden being complicit in genocide. Now the time to do it. And it’s up to them if they follow through with their threat, and it’s up to Biden if he’s willing to risk it
Democrats claim to be the good guys but can't stop themselves from engaging in this massive faschie disinformation campaign about anyone left of genocide Joe. I've not seen a single user in leftist forums saying we should vote Trump for "acceleration" but I can't fucking escape it being thrown around as a consistent fact by dems.
Same with how they can't call a third party vote a "third party vote," its always a "spoiler" or "protest vote," (when they aren't outright lying and claiming anyone not voting Biden is actually not voting and advocating for others to not vote.)
Turns out, if you need leftists to win you should probably stop telling them to eat shit and lying about them at every fucking turn. I'm no political expert but 🤷♂️
The president isn't the entire government there are other places you can put pressure. I'm not saying what's happening is right, I'm not saying that you should vote for him.
If you are moral compass won't allow you to align yourself with Joe Biden I completely understand that.
You have to acknowledge the reality that by dying on that hill you choose the other option whether you mean to or not. We should be rioting the streets to change it but it is the way it is.
It is more complex than that because of things like unequal vote distribution but more or less that's what it boils down to.
"If you don't vote blue no matter who its actually your fault"
No, it's Democrats fault for consistently and firmly moving right time and time again to court ""centrists"" as they tell me as a voter to shut the fuck up , tell me "no we won't consider your positions," and flat out lie about me and my positions to villify me in the eyes of establishment voters.
I didn't say any of that, I sincerely don't care who you vote for or if you even vote.
All I'm saying is in the system as currently implemented, choosing not to vote or to ignore the two party bias is still a vote for one of the two.
Please do not put words in my mouth.
