and a lot more people will die

Biden is sending in US troops and air support, approved the invasion of Lebanon despite the DoD and Pentagon disapproving, and triggered the Iranian retaliation by lying about a ceasefire. Both the DNC and GOP are genocidal monsters, trying to pretend Trump would somehow be a lot worse than Biden already has been is nonsensical. Both are evil.

Called it, the anti-Muslim hatred from liberals is already here, and they haven't even lost yet.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

Nope, they don't want either and both have promised genocide. Do you stand for or against genocide?

continues a policy you dont agree with

Reducing genocide to a simple policy that can be agreed or disagreed with is monstrous.

Calling the majority of Muslim-American voters and Palestinians "kids" is wildly racist and condescending.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Ah, but one choice will definitely lead to more.

You sure? Biden went against the DoD and approved the invasion of Lebanon, triggered the Iranian retaliation by lying about a ceasefire, and sent in US infantry and air support.

Biden's legacy will be a Middle East regional war and the end of Israel at this rate.

So you think that what I meant by "I’m more worried about [some people who] make other communists look bad" was that I'm an anti-communist? That seems highly unlikely. If I were anti-communist, surely I'd love those people precisely because they make communists look bad?

"Left" anticommunism is a thing. People who claim to be leftists yet bash leftists.

Literally your first response to me in this entire thread was uncivil condescension.

I don't agree.

Yeah that's not what I mean by Tankies, and it's not what most people mean by tankies. Not all marxist-leninists are tankies, for example. In fact I'd go out on a limb and say most aren't. But those who try to sweep under the rug the bad things that nominally-communist states have done are tankies, and they give other communists, other marxists, other marxist-leninists, and indeed all other leftists a bad name. (As an aside, most of the time those things were done by state-capitalist governments, not communist ones.)

Mind explaining what "state-capitalist governments" that are supposedly supported by "tankies?" This is where I believe you're going for the "left" anticommunist bit. The whole "no true Communist movements" idea is "left" anticommunism.

I'm actually from the Global South. I can promise you the US state department is full of shit. As are most Americans who speak about it, including most American leftists.

Cool, that doesn't mean you can't be a "left" anticommunist.

I have never advocated for exterminating everyone.

Where they came from. Netanyahu is from Philidelphia.

"Blood and soil" is fascist rhetoric.

Or, they can stay where they are, just in a secular, democratic Palestinian state.

Then I implore you to abandon the genocidal Biden regime. Side with humanity.

I'm furious that the administration isn't doing more to end the goddamned genocide

Biden approved the invasion of Lebanon and is sending in US troops and air support. They want this.

I'm sure there's some realpolitik going on there, but like, realpolitik can suck my asshole when my taxes are paying for bombs and missiles that are being used by a different country in an unjust war to kill innocent people in a genocide.

Israel helps terrorize enemies of the US empire and secures the Petro-dollar.

With all that said, I just don't think that we will be able to enact meaningful change in 30ish days. To enact change within the confines our current system, we would need to convince hundreds of millions of people to vote for a candidate that truly represents them in that timeframe. Given the constricting nature of our two-party system, I think many people wouldn't know who that is. I certainly don't know who would represent me. It certainly wouldn't be Jill Stein, to provide an example of a third party candidate.

So hopes and prayers while you vote for continued genocide, got it. Your feelings don't make the bombs lighter.

There are two primary candidates. One candidate will likely maintain the monstrous, awful, status quo. The other candidate may or may not direct the largest military force in the world to level Palestine and order the destruction of every man, woman, and child within its borders. The former gives the people of Palestine more time while to survive while we try to unfuck our system. It's not a guarantee, but it's a chance.

Biden has already ordered US air support and ground troops, the die is cast.
