You should know, anyone that says "genocide Joe" unironically isn't fooling anyone. It's generally seen as a conservative dogwhistle round these parts.
Genocide Joe is a nickname coined and used by progressives.
Calling it a dogwhistle is generally seen as IDF propganda around these parts.
no progressive use that term. you're being intentionally disingenuous and it's obvious to anyone.
any reasonable progressive doesn't like America's support of Israel right now but we are all very aware that drump would be worse in all of the ways. so your attitude is pointless and clearly just unnecessary agitation.
I see your username making dumb and controversial comments all the time. high time I block your trolling ass.
Label us whatever you want. I voted for Biden in the 2020 general election and I won't be voting for him again. The label is irrelevant, all that matters is if you think you need my vote. If you don't think you need it then ignore me. If you think you need it then start fucking paying attention.
right. so genocide plus fascism is better than just genocide. makes perfect sense.
Stop electing procorporate trash in the primaries. How many times do you need to learn this lesson?
way to dodge the topic
That is the topic Boomer. If you need our votes to win general elections you have to take that into consideration in the primaries. You can continue to elect procorporate trash in the primaries but no amount of finger wagging is going to make us show up for shit candidates in the general. You know exactly what game you're playing. Knock it the fuck off.
lol at calling me a boomer... why are you resorting to baseless assumptions?
and wait, you're arguing that Biden is a shit candidate vs trump? they are both shit but one can't even complete sentences against the other. this kinda renders all your points completely irrelevant.
Buddy, you clearly don't know what a primary is. Sit down and be quiet while the grownups are talking.
I thought I was a boomer. now I'm a child? if you're going to resort to derogatory assumptions at least get your story straight.
I was never talking about primaries. the post and my entire issue is with trump vs Biden. you're the one who decided to randomly bring primaries into that topic for no apparent reason.
I guess I could try to derail this by talking about how congress is toothless. but that would make me sound like a confused dufus.
I'm not voting for Biden or Trump. If that means Trump wins that's on the people who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries. Don't elect procorporate trash.
I can usually appreciate the principle. but this feels like a time when pragmatism is more important than the principle. there are only 2 possible outcomes. hopefully you don't mind feeding those leopards with your face.
