Hmmmm maybe, and just throwing this out there, maybe if they want to win they could stop doing a genocide. It feels like that's what people are saying here. Just a thought, probably nothing

[–] huf@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

the process is blessed.
the process has lead to a genocide.
trust the process.
vote

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

Doing genocide is more important than winning the election, which is why democrats don’t care if republicans win.

I've been seeing some complaints about the methodology of this poll, there is one good write-up presented here. Basically what it comes down to is that the New York Times not only cherry-picked from their own data, but they also polled heavily from Conservative voters rather than getting averages based on the demographics of each state.

It makes better headlines than the reality (both candidates are pretty evenly matched in each of the swing states with no clear winner), but this information is pretty much worthless other than hopefully getting more people to vote this year.

According to the Times, Trump is leading Biden in 5 out of 6 battleground states—and there goes the election, our democracy and the world!

Don't forget the known universe! He definitely wouldn't be exactly like the president they have now but more rude.

Powerful. Trump will surely be the savior of Palestine.

So who do they think they're going to vote for? Trump has also continually vowed his support of Israel and wouldn't have done anything different (except maybe sending even more weapons to them), while at the same time not supporting Ukraine at all.

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

They probably won't vote.

while at the same time not supporting Ukraine at all.

They're going to vote for somebody who is not open about the fact that they are doing a genocide. if that's too high of a bar for dems to clear that is dems problem and nobody else.

"You have tonvote for biden or trumpnwill bimb the rubble" is not an effective campaign strategy. They've concentrated the entire population into rafah and now they're moving into rafah, exactly like every single person criticizing Biden has been screaming they'll do since Biden started quadruppling down on unconditional support.

Trump might actually not be worse for Palestine because at this rate by next January there won't be anybody left to genocide.

It would be a lot easier for Democrats to stop supporting Israel if Trump was the one bankrolling the genocide.

Cornel West is the best option available, the united states NEEDS an intellectual, philosopher, and social critic in office. It's been an exceptional shit show more recently. Voting in someone with the ability to actually contemplate the consequences of their actions and not just listen to those with the most money is severely needed to get back on the path to being a functional country.

[–] Shdwdrgn@mander.xyz 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

True enough, but until we get some sort of ranked-choice voting, there's no chance of a 3rd party candidate being more than a minor blip in the voting numbers.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (36 children)

So your suggestion is to keep supporting the same people for ever no matter what they do.

How could that possibly lead to anything changing. You are explicitly sending the message "well keep supporting you no matter what so please do what we want even though it won't make any difference to you if you dont."

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Is it worse than allowing someone to be elected who may not let you vote again? Is that the change you want? Literally a guy who tried to overturn a free election?
