No let's not ignore that. Just remember that there is no option that leads to ending that genocide. Not in this election cycle.

Picking between genocide or genocide will not motivate unengaged voters. This is simple strategy.

Cool. Because if the turd wins and his choices are "overthrow democracy" or "not overthrow democracy", I'm sure he'll pick "neither" just like you. Oh wait, he already said he'd "only be a dictator for one day"! Because if there's something dictators are known for, it's voluntarily giving up the power once they have it!

How do you think "you have to vote or else Trump will overthrow the democracy where you have to choose between enabling genocide or enabling genocide" sounds to unengaged voters?

I watched both their Georgia speeches yesterday.

Trump has this weird pivot halfway through his ranting where they put on some Hans Zimmerman style soundtrack and he matches his tone to it as if softer sing-song bullshit is easier for his audience to swallow than off beat bullshit. So weird.

Meanwhile Biden's was the cliff notes version of his sotu address which was eh, honestly boring and less effective to see again, but same points got across and he didn't make it weird or Orwellian. Plus picking up the button at the end and reading it out "Regulate Guns not Women" was great to see.

Good thing I'm not choosing betweeen that. I'm choosing between defending my friends right to live. I know you think that them being arrested for being born differen't is a small price to pay for you to feel morally superiour but I don't want to sacrafice them for the feeling of smugness.

youre doing that thing where people think the president has unilateral power to do literally whatever they want.

He does have the power to do the things I'm suggesting.

Allan Lichtman says a protest vote is meaningless and will be quickly shortlived and forgotten. It's like voting out the frying pan and into the fire. Can't be stressed enough how worse off we will be in a Trump dictatorship saddled in controversy and constant gaslighting.

Do you honestly believe that people are protesting America's involvement in Gaza just out of smugness? The idea of people having genuine moral issues with their government facilitating the bombing thousands of children is something outright unbelievable to you?

Do you believe witholding a vote from Biden is helping them? It is purely out of msugness.

I believe it's a false dilemma to suggest that Biden unconditionally sending weapons to Israel and Trump winning the election are the only options.

There are many steps that Biden can take to use his leverage to deescalate the situation. And considering the sheer amount of death and suffering, I think it's worth pushing for.

I've seen no evidence whatsoever that continuing to send weapons is an absolute necessity in order for him to win the election. If you cannot prove that, any amount of 'but what would Trump do' is meaningless and serves only as a disingenuous way to silence criticism.

My biggest slag on Biden is how he addressed the Gaza stuff. I personally consider it the worst thing that's happened with him as president.

I mean when you put it in that completely inaccurate way, it almost sounds nice! Until you return to reality and understand Trump would be overthrowing democracy to establish something far worse.

Thanks, Captain Obvious. Thats some real insight there. The displacement of millions because their government committed a massacre and took hostages, kind of hard to be worse than that.

(And I know I know, the last guy allowed a global pandemic to happen.)

And the knock on Biden isnt just his age now. Its that hed be 86 when his two terms were over, assuming he lives that long. Not to mention, he wants to raise your taxes is you make millions of dollars, and tells you if you are a billionaire that you arent doing enough.

The whole point about the age knock is that it equally applies to Trump.

oh no! Wont somebody think of the poor millionaires and billionaires!?

I just want to find an ACTUAL criticism of Biden as president, not one based around superfluous fluff that isn't really a factor.

As it stands I would vote for him but mostly as a last resort to keep Trump from being president. Ideally I DON'T want him to be president.

It should be obvious but there's still dumb topics like this asking stupid questions like "So the only knock on Biden is his age?"

You really think rules and regulations are going to be a thing if Trump wins. Like he and the GOP doesn't already have a plan to take over?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

This. Everyone deflecting to Biden is sickening when the other guy openly states how he wants to be a dictator and plagiarizes Hitler speeches. Then when someone brings up Project 2025 they have nothing to say about it for some strange reason.

Do yourself a favor and don't have a genuine political conversation on here. Vote Biden and fall in line or you get trolled and ridiculed.

I talk about it every time. Does a plan being public knowledge make it easier or harder to achieve?

You wanted to talk about Project 2025. The problem is you actually don't want to answer simple questions about it.

A genocide is happening with Biden's help. There's not enough Palestinians to be 100x worse.

Will it not happen with Trump?

It will. There isn't enough Palestinians for 100x and we need the starvation to end now. A healthy adult can only survive 28 without food while Palestine is mostly children.

Who?

DuranOfForcena posted...

what the fuck is this post? is Nikki Haley the RNC?

How do you not know how membership in an organization works?

She came in second, figuratively or literally as I personally could lean either way, and was given gobs of cash by wealthy RNC members for ads.

Still waiting for someone to explain why sending bombs to Israel is required for Biden to win the election. Remember that Biden's handling of Gaza has been met with disapproval.

A lot of you eagerly threaten with whatever Trump would do but skip over this step in the logic.

They dont care. Thats why theyre posting against Biden on GameFAQs instead of trying to do anything productive. Theyre not going to do anything that actually helps, theyre just going to suck out your energy as you try to engage honestly with someone who has no interest in an honest conversation.

If you're going to ad-hom don't be hypocritical and nonsensical.

1288 / 295 = 4.36610169492

You're 4x doing absolutely nothing.

"Who?" is sarcastic in this case, as I was indicating that Nikki is wholly irrelevant in this discussion. Maybe if Trump croaks before November, but otherwise she's stuck in "Who cares?".

That being said, shock is correct in his assessment of you. Your nonsensical response only reinforces it.

Bidens handling of Gaza sucks. Right now our best way to help Palestinians is to vote in a progressive Congress to push Biden on this issue.

Now how does Biden losing result in things being better for Palestinians? Still waiting for this step in the logic to not be skipped over. What about Biden losing can bring about better circumstances?

Palestinian children are starving to death right now. The only power we have over Biden in this critical time is his election going badly.

Democrats will hopefully learn to not take voters for granted. There's also the chance of a Democratic supermajority like after 8 years of George W. Bush.

It probably wouldnt have been a supermajority if the economy didnt crash 50 days before the election.

And youre assuming progressives arent barred from running as Congress now holds the sole responsibility to define insurrection.

And Trump will probably green light the complete annexation of Gaza. A progressive Congress can push Biden sooner. Asking them to eat 4 years of shit so you can roll the dice isnt going to make their lives better.

Involvement not apathy is how you take over a party. We literally just watched it happen on the Republican side.

No, Congress has power over the president. Electing a progressive Congress has power to act. Waiting 4 years as a lesson when people are starving now is selfish.

The election is 8 months away, the best way to help Palestinians is to push those with power for a change NOW.

Straight back to the repeating the false dilemma. Biden taking a stronger stance against the human right violations in Gaza will NOT make him lose the election.

If anything, a case for the opposite can be made: especially young and non-white democrats disapprove of his handling of Gaza so far (aka the part of voters more likely to stay home). Half of dem voters believe Israel is committing genocide. Yet Biden is sending them bombs to help.

Stop pretending that 'Biden must send bombs' or 'Trump wins' are the only options. There is no truth to it.

Hornezz posted...

Right act now, not 4 years and 8 months from now. Pressure Congress to pressure Biden. But Biden losing is waiting almost 5 years and things are going to be so much worse for the Palestinians after Trump gives Israel a blank check endorsement.
