Libs would rather make fun of their genocide that they're funding than resist it.
That's literally why nobody votes for y'all creeps.
I’m think you’re missing the point.
You face three choices:
Choosing choice 3 is equivalent to choosing choice 1 because you’re contributing to choice 1 happening practically.
Choosing choice 3 is directly creating more death and harm than choosing choice 2 and in that way is morally worse.
Why should we accept genocide as normal? I don’t get it? Is it because it is happening to Arabs?
At least now we know many Democratic voters are just as racist as Republican voters just tacit about it

God, you liberals are disgusting scum. MLK was right about you, you are the greatest threat to justice.

Rather than being sanctimonious why not give some actionable advice.
Ok, how about this. The way you’ve been doing things? Don’t do that.
Typical, always there to tell people how it should be, completely detached from consequences
Kinda low bar to clear. The fact she didn't screwed her.
Don't have to be perfect, just good enough, and she couldn't even do that.
Imagine unironically making this meme. I envy the history students in 2138 who get to study this crap and scratch their heads
Imagine not understanding first past the post elections and harm reduction.
The people of Palestine asked us to vote against Trump. But they're not worth listening to. They're not even real.
There is no harm reduction. Kamala didn’t support a cease fire, and she refused to stop the flow of weapons or support. The choices were killing kids fast, or killing them slowly. You don’t get to act self righteous, like there’s a more moral choice there.
Democrats are baby killers.
Uh huh..
You realize there are other issues out there right?
Yeah. Democrats suck at addressing those too. Do you really wanna talk about all the ways democrats are shot human being? Cause all of Lemmy is here for that.
Of course they're shit. Obviously. But FPTP dictates we vote anyway.
DID she really understand FPTP if she wouldn't acknowledge it as a problem?
Yes. It's not a problem for her.
But your question makes me think you don't.. FPTP benefits the two major parties. It's completely illogical to think they would not like it.
Or did you mean that she should've lied about her real opinion on order to get more votes?
Evidently it was a problem for her.
The History students of the Future will watch all those who sat by as complicit in the rise of an authoritarian racist President in the USA
How cute to think this is the first authoritarian racist president. You should check out the rest of USA history sometime.
Look at this genocide enthusiast. Nah, if the Democrats are going to support Israel unconditionally they deserve to lose. If saving the US means that the US will continue supporting Israel then better if the US is unsaved. I voted for Jill Stein and don’t regret it, but I still regret voting for genocide Joe in 2020.
Those 20 million people who sat by were democrats. But sitting by while facism rises is kinda your thing, isn’t it? Too bad you can’t hand-wring your way into a better union, huh?
No, but I can get a better confederacy. Given that I come from the confederatio helvetica and not the united states, you know.
Also I'd like to know how you got to the conclusion that I, vocal and voting against fascism, am complicit in its rise?
The history is already set. The dems ran a mediocre campaign after the sitting president flubbed a debate and lied about his physical ailments. It was a campaign so out of touch with voters that they lost the entire government.
I'm pretty sure the anti-genocide people were the ones violently confronting Nazis four years ago while the Democratic mainstream said that wasnt the right way to do things.
Probably lots of overlap with the people who blockaded and flooded airports and courts to stop the Muslim ban.
Probably closely related to the people who put their bodies on the line and blockaded ICE detention facilities.
I'd bet they were involved in organizing the BLM protests too.
Nah, man.
The real Antifa are the ones brunching and quietly judging while they sip their mimosas.
quietly?
Fair point.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
MLKJ, "Letter from Birmingham Jail"
You remind me of the MAGoos who only quote Martin's line about judging people on the character and not the color of their skin. Using that letter ignores the fact that the letter was written before the Liberals passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Harris lost and Trump is getting ready to nuke Gaza. Maybe it's time for you to reassess your plans.
I'm arguing that we should be working in and with working class communities to tangibly improve their material conditions and you're comparing me to a MAGA?
That's some weird dissonance.
You mean the voting rights act that was gutted by the supreme court while liberals just watched?
Did they expand the supreme court? pass ethics legislation? add term limits? use the same dirty tactics the Republicans use? censure Synema and Manchin for being republicans?
They sure didn't. But the Republicans sure made sure Liz Cheney knew she wasn't welcome in the party anymore.
Seeing how this is the 2nd time in a decade that moderate liberals have lost an election due to their lack of widespread support, maybe it's time to reconsider their appeal to the increasingly hypothetical "average" American and listen to the base.
Turn it around.
The Dems lost twice and what great rewards did you get?
the end of American involvement in Syria and Afghanistan
So, the genocide of the Kurds is fine?
Also, the bombings of Kurdish positions today are done by NATO member Turkey who also compelled Sweden to change their laws and hand over Kurdish journalists that Erdogan didn't like.
The US is no ally to the Kurds-- it was a partnership of convenience. In Kurdish, there's a saying,
So, it wasn't a massacre?
Because when I asked what your big wins were, you named two massacres.
You didn't say your ideas failed, you said that massacres were fine with you.
Not at all, but ISIS was a creation of the Bush administration's disastrous policies post invasion that excluded any Ba'ath party member from joining the new administration. Given that Party membership was a prerequisite for any government job under the Hussein regime and that most of the GDP was based on nationalized oil exports, this excluded pretty much every working professional from participating in society post march of 2003. That's precisely why ISIS was able to set up a massive and functioning bureaucracy in a matter of weeks-- tons of people had valid reasons to hate the US backed regime and had no other option, economically.
I personally went to Kurdistan to teach refugee children how to use computers during the first Trump Administration and when the YPG insisted I carry a gun for self defense, I only kept a single bullet in the magazine. So, I do very much put my money where my mouth is.
I smoked hookah with teenage Assad Regime soldiers who became ISIS guards before the Kurds took over the administration and they became YPG recruits. The single most striking thing about the experience was how little the ideology mattered to the people on the ground. Consistently, it seemed like the primary concern was feeding ones family rather than this or that ideology.
These problems were created by the colonial conquest of the Ottoman empire and the root issue has always been Sykes Picot. More white people in the middle east shooting brown people will never solve that problem.
Tu dizani Kuri, heval?
Depend what they will write in history books...
