I’d do it myself, if I had an ounce of courage

If courage is all that you lack to complete your convictions, you're a shitty citizen.

Me? I happen to believe in democracy, as messy and slow as it is. Guess I'm just not a big fan of oligarchies and autocracies.

Answer me: If 70% of the population believed we LGBTQ+ people should be put to death, then you’d think that’s alright?

Ignoring that unspecified action on 'securing the border' and putting LGBTQ people to death aren't even in the same conceptual ballpark, if 70% of the population believed that LGBTQ folk should be put to death, then it's pretty clearly a losing plank to run on in a democracy.

So tell me - if 70% of the population thought that LGBTQ folk should be put to death, would you say "Let the guy who wants to genocide non-whites AND LGBTQ people win! Both sides are the same!" like you are now?

I don't see immigrants and refugees as humans worth saving... because I don't equate Trump and Biden?

Or because I think committing suicide by cop is a dumbass decision?

Please, clarify.

For calling Willem van Spronsen, a man who flung a few molotovs around and committed suicide by cop, a half-ass revolutionary?

See, this is what I mean by “treat them like political pawns.”

By... acknowledging that action in a democracy happens by consensus of the voters?

Tell me, how do YOU think decisions should be made? Who's your autocrat of choice, here, since democracy is apparently unacceptable?

Thanks, I now have a very easy thread to refer to when someone says "WELL I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE SAY BIDEN AND TRUMP WERE THE SAME WHEN CRITICIZING THEM"

You're absolutely right. Your position isn't different in the least than anyone else using refugees and immigrants like political pawns.

Biden is just more Trump, and his supporters are just as unhinged and cultlike.

lmao.

Hitler's opponent needs to EARN my vote!

You don’t see me treating refugees and immigrants like political pawns.

Literally fucking over refugees and immigrants under a Trump administration for the sake of your politics. But tell me more about how you're the Moral Side(tm)

"Biden considers vague unspecified action on a subject that over 70% of the American electorate considers a problem, clearly Both Sides are Just As Bad"

They'll be in line for the death camps with the rest of us loudly proclaiming "At least I didn't vote for JOE BIDEN"

Someone remind me what the U.S. gets out of the BILLIONS we spend on them every year? What do we get? Genocide of vulnerable people? Preservation of some conservative fairy tale about “end-times”? Access to oil being sold by completely different countries who already sell it to us directly? What exactly?

Well, Israel gets to kill US citizens, sell US technology to China, betray US intelligence agents, and cause incredible damage to the US's reputation internationally.

I don't see a downside! /s

When the F16s arrive, Russia's own air defense will vanish in smoke & fire.

Doubtful. I would love for this to be the case, but a supply of F-16s will just strip Russia of its current dominance over contested airspace. There's a reason SEAD motto is "You gotta be shittin' me"

Lemmy.ml has censors built in, I think.

"My friend, you bow to no one."

"Stop defending civilians!"

And don't worry about poking air holes. It'll be fine.

Luckily, ISW suggests that the city isn't a particularly vital win for Russia.
