Lol go for it
I just want to add: this isn't only a leftists thing. This is a Michigan thing. It's Muslims and Arabs who are watching their brethren slaughtered.
In September 2023,, did you think you'd be supporting a candidate that you acknowledge is committing a genocide? Because my expectations for liberals in 2023 were already very low. But this is some Nazi Germany shit that we're living in now.
It's like that old poem:
First they came for the immigrants.
So I also went after the immigrants, because the other side was going to go after them worse
Then they came for the Palestinians.
So I also went after the Palestinians because the other side would've gone after the Palestinians even worse...
Yeah you're right, genocide is not a deal breaker. /S
I hate Biden as much as every other leftist here. But I'll still vote for him because Trump is worse. If there's a single bone in your body that cares about the lives of your trans friends you will too.
I'm a trans person. Here's what I'm most concerned about: the dehumanization of Palestinians and immigrants. Biden has gone along 100% with the dehumanization of these groups
how the fuck am I supposed to trust Democrats that claim to support trans people when this is how they support Palestine? This is a president thats supporting an ongoing genocide while persuing draconian immigration policies. Am I supposed to just throw those groups under the bus for my own personal gain?
You've made it abundantly clear that if Biden was pushing anti-trans policies, you'd still support him. You've made it clear there is absolutely nothing Biden could do that would lose your support.

I'm not making a legal argument against searches, I'm making a moral argument for international solidarity.
The lawyer's statement isn't that objectionable in a vacuum. But it's representative of how Americans view the world. We see something terrible in our own society, and we say, "How can this happen here? This isn't [a country we completely fucked over]!" Then the rest of the discussion is how to solve the problem here, instead of addressing the root cause.
If Afghanistan or Gaza have something similar to the fourth amendment, then maybe I can see your take.
Think of the context the bill of rights was written in. Most of those amendments were a reaction to the fear of an occupying force. Obviously these anti-occupation policies don't apply to a people under occupation.
Here's the thing: does a citizen in a crime ridden neighborhood in America have something similar to the fourth amendment? Legally they do. In reality, many don't. After you have the police bust into your home for no reason without a warrant, you have a different take on the constitution.
Thanks to SCOTUS, the fourth amendment is functionally non-existent for a large number of americans, and the police operate as an occupying force. They use the same weapons as international occupying armies. They train each other. They fund each other. They're all part of the military industrial complex. It's all the same struggle
“We're not in Afghanistan or Gaza,” he says.
I hate this mentality so much. We're not in Afghanistan or Gaza, but we're all still human. Their deaths are equally tragic.
It's even the same weapons a lot of the time! The cops are all kitted out in surplus from the Afghanistan war, and receive "counterterrorism" training from the soldiers currently slaughtering children in Gaza.
Here's an article from 10 years ago about the Ferguson/Palestine connection. https://www.ebony.com/the-fergusonpalestine-connection-403/
This is an honestly insulting thing to say. We have eyes. We know where the missiles are made. We know that a convoy of trucks can deliver more aid than air drops and a dock built out of rubble and corpses. The Biden administration supports genocide in palestine. Full stop. No amount of gaslighting can change that fact.
