Yeah, I draw the line at genocide. Genocide is bad. Did they not teach you that in school?

Why are you paying for it?

Blue_Inigo posted...

Stop killing Palestinians

But you're fine with everyone else dying. Fuck them, right.

The Executive Branch has been unconstitutionally been giving weapons to Israel bypassing Congress. Congress should have the power to declare war and the power of the purse.

Nah he specifically popped off about $14billion. I want to hear him answer.

Republicans: "We're gonna wage a holy war on all the heathens poisoning our country"

Centrists: "Democrats have no one but themselves to blame if I die!"

Care to tell us how he gave them money then if he doesn't have the power to do so?

So you are also coming genocide with your taxes. Are you going to quit your job?

He should be doing that with Ukraine. Unfortunately, Ukraine isn't the same cultural mainstay expectation.

The lesser of two evils is absolutely the correct choice to vote for. Not gonna accept some chud saying its better that Trump gets elected

Blue, Imma happy for you and Imma let you finish, but theres a reason why President Biden isnt listening to the Genocide Joe demographic.

You guys are a very loud but very tiny minority of people. Most of your demographic doesnt even vote at all, let alone votes for the Democrat party. Further, the moderates and independents are very much are in support of Israel. It would be much more devastating to Bidens election chances to lose their vote than it would be to lose yours, and the Biden campaign knows this. Sorry, but facts are facts.

So if the people that care about Palestine aren't a significant enough group for their vote to matter why bash them for not wanting to vote for Biden

Because they're hypocrites and hypocrisy should always be called out.

As stated a bajillion times, if you can't see that Trump would be far worse for Palestinians than Biden, then you're not competent enough to have this conversation.

Cause it's a dangerous precedent to let go unchallenged when the alternative is the end of what we hold dear

I want nothing more than for people like Blue to be able to abstain. I abhor the state of American politics and how we have to treat every election like it's the end of days but here we are

Anyone that genuinely cares about Palestine would not want Trump. He has a history of dehumanizing Muslims, being friendly to dictators, and encouraging Israel to directly stomp on Palestine like recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Trump will definitely make things worse for Palestinians.

He clearly doesn't value it. Let it be. If all you do is insult people who don't tow the line, you literally feed Republican talking points of "democrats only care about votes. They don't give a fuck about you actually".

This whole topic is a testament to that, and seen by the fact that Trump overperforms with minorities, it absolutely working. The best strategy is too highlight the damage that the Republicans can do and give a list of options. Calling non white people dumb for hating Biden because of X is just affirming to many you just as racist as the competition and they will never listen to anything you say, and you better hope the conversation in their communities is more positive than the garbage that is current democrat discourse.

More like he's not being catered to so fuck everybody else.

So, like I said before
GranAures posted...

"I know Republicans want to murder everybody but you should blame the Democrats for not being nicer to me as to why I decided you need to be punished too" is a hell of a take. Shame that a functioning democracy somehow isn't appealing to you. Shame that LGBTQ people, any minority individual, women, not being openly legislated against by a regressive party isn't appealing to you.

And when you don't listen and insist on "Fuck you too," "this is you're fault that we couldn't care to help stop this" after being told what will happen, guess what you are.

Dumb at best. Psychopathically selfish at worse. All because everyone else can understand what is at stake but you need to be catered to.

When I read the messages from this gaggle of peeps in here, it honestly what you and the rest like you deserve to hear. You deserve nothing more, not even an explanation. Hope you like it.

I will be fair to those who show kindness though. Check my sign on why.

Haha youre a real winner, man.

This thread brought back memories of trying to have discussions with Covenant (mostly on 261, was here for a bit after the board's demise).

He'd basically brag about how he didn't betray his morals and vote for Clinton and as a result every woman he knows lost their rights to bodily autonomy, or at the least security of it as Republicans will implement a national ban if they regain government that will affect even blue states, due to the Justices Trump appointed and we've seen how it's helped accelerate this country towards being a Christo-fascist shithole version of Iran.

These people are short-sighted fools who think there's more nobility in society suffering en mass than them personally "compromising their convictions".

Get the fuck over yourselves already, this country has far more people than just you.

People could come up with a billion reasons why Biden is better than Trump, but single issue voters who don't feel their one issue is being taken care of will decide it doesn't matter who wins.

ClayGuida posted...

Looks like instead of asking for permission from Congress the Biden administration just said they could. The Supreme Court likes genocide and hates loan forgiveness.

I've seen people literally bitch that Biden hasn't canceled their student debt, despite canceling like hundreds of billions for others.

That doesn't answer the question. How exactly did they give money to Israel illegally? Did Biden sign a check? Did someone authorize a wire transfer?

And most importantly, if it was an illegal transfer, surely Republicans who have been looking for any excuse to impeach Biden would have pounced by now, right?

It's fine homeslice. You demand "kindness(read being catered to)" before you deign to care about others and that is the only explanation you need to give. Meanwhile, I don't need your respect to vote against Trump.

I'm not sorry you got upset and think that means I deserve to be punished with Trump that will hurt you more than me.

I think South Park gave a pretty good representation of this with their Prius episode, where the Prius owners became super smug assholes who loved inhaling their own farts.

That's the only thing I can think about when they try to laud themselves as amazing people for choosing the suffering of society over them compromising their convictions for the greater good.

Well, you see, if we keep letting the greater of 2 evils win, than the not even evil but just kind of mediocre will keep training with their weighted clothes on and finally take them off to reveal how super powerful they are and not only undo all of the evils the greater of 2 evils did, but they will give us everything we didn't tell them we wanted but just expect them to assume we want when we ignore their trying to make things better previously.

Duh.

A good part of that is because alot of yall are antagonistic, so they are inclined to just say fuck everything yall saying in the moment. If you just disengage where it clearly becomes unproductive, it breeds better discourse and the point linger for you long. Anything less than this is being a problem.

For me, I'm going to talk to my GF and the rest of my family to make a decision.

Nah if you believe for any reason that Trump and Biden are the same, especially if youre only saying it just out of spite because youre being a baby, i will be antagonistic.

Youre also incredibly antagonistic and unkind yourself, with the way youre speaking in this topic. Look in the mirror.

In a world where their morals are more important than anybody actually living. So, one purely of their own ego.

I thought for sure we were done indulging them after they blamed Biden for Roe being overturned, but here we are 400+ posts later still not focusing on the fact that Republicans are promising to destroy our democracy and punish their enemies if they win this year.

Yeah, I'm done with it. I went outside and played with my new pressure washer and came back and saw the idiocy continuing and was like... I'd probably have a better chance of having an intelligent conversation with my concrete than that dude.

But yes, that shit from CPAC is just straight up vile rhetoric. "anyone who has betrayed America" Uh huh, we know what that REALLY means.
