This is the true litmus test.

If they actually cared about Palestinians more than Biden winning they'd be yelling at Biden to stop doing a genocide.

Fuck if they cared more about winning than just supporting the status quo they'd be screaming at Biden to stop doing a genocide since people have been incredibly clear that's why they're withholding their vote.

It's really really telling where their frustrations lie.

They're more concerned with continuing to genocide muslims than they are with winning.

Voting for school board members who actually believe in public education and local government officials that believes that funding local government is a net benefit.

I'm going to apply my same standard of "not voting for anybody currently enabling a genocide" for that race too, it's just that isn't an issue for the vast majority of people excluding Biden.

Especially when half the country is trying to say the slow fascism isn't fascism.

Literally.

Trump randomly derails actual fascism because somebody didn't kiss his ass hard enough, liberals want to make sure the fascism machine is running at peak efficiency.

Perfect examples democrats tried to eliminate asylum status for immigrants and suggest literally just turning EVERYBODY away afyer a certain number of people apply on one day, the most cruel policy proposed for the border to date. Fortunately Trump randomly decided to torpedo that deal because he didn't want democrats to get credit for being extra cruel on the border.

This is a concrete recent real life example of the incompetent fascists being less dangerous than the spineless fascist enablers.

Boy that sure seems like an argument that democracy is a failed system if your only choice is what kind of fascism you elect.

Yup if Trump was president every elected dem would have "from the river to the sea" in their Twitter bio.

But it's a dem president so instead that's a terrorist slogan.

Al this fear mongering about how terrible a Trump term will be would be a lot more effective if we hadn't all lived through a Trump term, and then watch him get voted out despite doing everything he could to stop it, and then watch dems not do anything about all the terrible things that did happen during his first term because they suddenly weren't a big deal when a dem was president.

God forbid women and Trans people lose rights and become scapegoats for everything wrong in the country and we participate in a genocide while a republican is president instead of doing all that with a democratic president as God intended.

Friendly reminder that this is how they would justify any of our murders. Super cool not mainlining American propganda makes you a persona non grata to the libs.

Reddit already naturally lashes out at anything that threatens white male hegemony Twitter he actually had to rip down a bunch of guardrails to get it to the shitshow it is now.

Reddit is doing the work for free.

It's like how republicans are suddenly supper concerned about lgbtq rights if it means they get to be Islamophobic or how they were suddenly all really concerned about the integrity of women's sports records when it meant they had plausible deniability to be openly transphobic.

That is a very specific situation you've invented in your head to he mad about.

It'll do the bullshit travel sites do where it figures out how much you're willing to pay by slightly increasing it every time.
