      I’m gonna vote for Biden if I have to rise from the dead and crawl through broken glass to do so, and I hope everyone reading this thread does.

      I’m not willing to pretend he’s not facilitating an ongoing genocide though.

        This. You deal with the choice in front of you, and not the ones you wish you had. Life is bigger than our little worlds.

            Not really. I’m in Northern Ireland and my vote does fuck all to affect who’s elected UK Prime Minister. The current governing party runs candidates here but they’ve never won a seat and their closest competitors don’t run any candidates at all here. Never mind I live in a stronghold seat so it won’t change anyway.

          The Democratic party expects their members to pretend that what’s happening in Gaza is not a genocide. They censured Rep Tlaib for saying so in Congress.

              So what you’re saying is that you’re a-okay with fascism and genocide, provided it wears a blue jersey?

                  I see a whole lot of excuses flying form Democrats to try and distract from the fact that they’re voting for Genocide Joe in November.

                  This thread is littered with them.

                    If you actually cared about saving Palestine, your best bet is genocide Joe whether you like it or not.

                    Every other option just increases the chance for Turbo Genocide Donny to “finish the job”, and you know it.

                    But you don’t care about Palestine, do you? You just want to sow chaos in the US.

                    If you’re wonder why it seems like no one takes you seriously, it’s the “gEnoCiDe jOe” thing. It’s just as cringy as “Let’S gO bRaNdOn! but with the added take that it’s coming for a group of people that should know better.

        What is that law? Closest I think I can get is HR 4986 sec 227 which mentions Israel, but I can’t read further. Who put it in place?

          From the linked politico article,

          Legally, the U.S. can’t cut Israel off completely. Since 2008, the U.S. has had to weigh all arms sales to Israel and other countries in the region against the requirement that Israel maintains a “qualitative military edge” against all enemies, both state and non-state actors.

          In 2008, George W. Bush was in his second term as president.

      Tankies don’t show up to forums about headlines they can’t cram into their preordained propaganda forms.

      Yeah, those stupid kids should just realize that one constant in America is that we kill or enable the killing of children. They should just accept that children will be killed in their name and get over themselves like us grown ups.

      No, it isn’t.

      We want to replace Genocide Joe with the Greens.

      Unfortunately most American voters lack a conscience, so it’s not going to happen.

        If you actually want to attract people to your cause, you may want to consider changing your tone. It could also be beneficial to mention some positive things about the candidate that you recommend instead of just bashing the current regime.

          I’m shouting into the void and I know it. Nothing I do or say will change anything.

          I can look at the last 40 years and be astonished at how little American voters care about their own welfare, and rest assured that the election in November will likely be 49% to 49%, because for some reason they all are just exceptionally well-programmed to vote for the candidates that the wealthy want them to vote for. All of them are poorer now, both economically and socially, than they were even just ten years ago. They can see with their own two eyes that they get poorer no matter which party we elect, and it doesn’t stop them from voting solely on team color anyway.

          Hell, the Democrats had Marianne Williamson, an anti-war, pro-living wage, pro-universal health care candidate who can actually form a coherent thought in their primary. They decided overwhelmingly that they wanted the old, addled warmonger to be their president, even though he’s done nothing meaningful to try and fix their poverty, opting to spend his time keeping his scumbag son out of prison and the war money flowing to other countries.

        Lmao, comment more.

        You’re definitely not making yourself look like you need live-in nursing care to wipe your ass.

        You’re also making really REALLY good, logical fair points and you’re totally not moving the goalposts.

        Take your bad faith ba to .ml or hexbear, you troglodyte.
