Isn't it funny how you dismiss every thing that reflects poorly on the party you support? Despite the fact that the DNC did not dispute the contents? They sued over the release of the emails because they believe it interfered with the election. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. But they don't deny the contents of the leaked emails themselves. I guess anything so that you can vote blue no matter who, huh?
Also, the idea that Trump "certainly" wouldn't get in a public spat when he is, in fact, Donald Trump and public spats are exactly his MO is fucking laughable.
I don't believe this "row" with Netanyahu will amount to anything, which I am basing on Biden's record of always backing Israel every single time. You and I agree about Trump. We've clearly come to different conclusions about Biden. I don't think we are going to get any further in this conversation.
No. That is a false dichotomy, as I have said to literally everyone else who has tried to use that argument. There are other options here. The DNC's and/or Joe Biden's unwillingness to explore those options doesn't make them not options. It just means we need to push them harder. Your unwillingness to do so does not mean that the options don't exist. I am not required to subscribe to your way of viewing politics.
If Dems need my vote to win, then they need to run a candidate that doesn't support genocide in Palestine. If they can't or won't do that, then they are forfeiting my vote. If they do that and lose, then they are the one's "at fault" for losing.
I don't currently prefer democrats over Republicans. I think they are equally harmful in different ways. What do I do? I agree that Republicans are wrong on everything, but Dems are wrong on enough things, and majorly so, that I don't think that they can be reformed. RCV is a pipe dream for the US at large. Especially with dems in positions of power. They haven't historically been willing to give up power once they have it.
I do care about those things. But I also care about Biden not being president for different, equally valid, equally moral, reasons. Also for pettiness sake, he fucking said he'd be a one term president before he ran in 2020 and we should fucking hold him to that but no one fucking remembers it. I cannot bring myself to vote for a man who has said and done the things he had said and done. So if I care about those things as I "should" and if I also care about doing something about the runaway supreme court and not arming a genocidal right wing government (just to name a couple of my objections to Biden's presidency), who do I vote for? Do I just give Biden another 4 years because the other guy sucks? Even though I know that it means that he will allow a genocide to be carried out and join wars to defend that genocide which will lead to untold deaths?
Like, even in your comment, while you tell me it's a personal decision, you're still laying it on a bit thick and its clear what you think I should do with my vote.
How could trump be worse?what is worse than arming the Israelies while they engage in genocide? Unless you don't believe that's what is happening. In which case,you have been misinformed. Genocide is genocide. Why am I the asshole here for not wanting to vote for someone who is enabling a genocide? Why isn't Biden the asshole for enabling the genocide or not stepping down?
I have 3 comments from before that "copypasta worthy political rant." You realize copypastas have to be copied from somewhere right? So all copypastas were at some point posted by a real person. Maybe think about that.
I get that US politics affects other countries. But why should you be attacking me as a bot off of one comment against a politician who isn't in your country? Like... You were an asshole. I'm sorry that I connected your behavior with my own country. You just act so much like one of us.
You're inability to imagine a scenario does not make it impossible. You gave me a false dichotomy, I gave you an explanation of why it was false. You don't have to like it. Nobody does. But they would have months to campaign. The primaries aren't even over yet, so it wouldn't theoretically cost then anything. Dems just need to do it. They've had since October. They're the ones making the choice here. They could make a different one.
But they won't. Because they care more about making sure the "right people" have power than representing their constituents or even doing what's right. This isn't the first time and it won't be the last.
I don't comment on UK politics, despite the fact that I watch a British alternative media news source daily. I'm sorry, I just genuinely didn't expect someone to be calling me a bot (I may not have many comments, but they're fairly varied) and have them be from another country. You caught me off guard.
But I think its shitty that you think my account is suspicious. Sorry I couldn't transfer my Reddit account over so that you can see every comment I've made going back to 2010.
You responded to my comment about American politics calling me a bot because I have the nerve to not suck biden's dick. Why would I assume you were not in the US?
That's simply not true. Biden has the option to step down and let a Democrat who isn't dog shit run in his place. He and the DNC are choosing not to do so. The election is months away. He can still back out if he wants. It is not Trump or Biden unless Dems refuse to listen to voters.
Okay. But Palestine still gonna be fucked. I get that you don't care if Palestinians die. But I do. So I get to not vote for the guy currently enabling their genocide. "Trump would do it too" so you admit it's bad? Demand better from your politicians you weakling.
No. You don't get to tell me that I have to vote for Biden when he's not doing anything to earn my vote. He's allowing Israel to carry out a genocide. So he's not actually less evil than Trump. You're just upset because Trump's shitty policies will impact you more than Biden's shitty policies. Biden has the lower approval ratings than Trump did at this point. He has not earned a second term.
How about the Dems run a candidate who isn't dog shit? I vote for Dems as a form of harm reduction, but they aren't reducing harm anymore. So what's in it for me? Dems haven't not done anything about the supreme court, student loans, or threats to democracy and they are largely supporting the actions of Israel. If I'm right, and this is a genocide (I am), then voting for anyone who supports it would be an evil act. They're going to have to make some changes if they want to earn the votes of people who don't want to see a genocide carried out on our watch with our bombs.
That said, it would be a real problem if Trump won. So if that happens, I hope you'll be willing to place the blame where it belongs: with the Democrats. They are the ones doing nothing to earn our votes. Biden isn't even campaigning.
