Lmao did you think I was suggesting he's somehow better?
I just find it funny that Americans pretend like their bourgeois "democracy" isn't just a poorly veiled oligarchy where you get to "choose" between the genocidal zionazi party and the fascist party.
Neither of whom give a fuck about the working class, though one is a bit better at pretending like they do.
One side is clearly better unless you do false equivalence, look at the mortality rate of mothers in states with abortion bans and without etc.
I know this is not as edgy of a take as your both sides cuntery but there is clearly a better and worse choice for the US regardless what kind of zionazi epic words you want to use from your basement setup.
It's not like Americans don't know their system is broken, but it's not like they can fix it one day to the next, they have an election coming up where they have to choose between a shit candidate and a straight up fascist who tried to overthrow their election
Yeah I do agree people should probably still vote for the genocide party, as long as they're organizing outside the system and building class consciousness to eventually overthrow it.
Just that they shouldn't pretend like they're not voting for a genocidal zionazi.
Are "genocide" and "nazi" also "epic words"? It conveys the fact that Biden is a zionist and a nazi quite well, no? Specially when I've linked him admitting he is one.
He's backing Israel because it's what they've always done. It's a strategic alliance. It's Nathan yahoo dropping bombs on cities
How is what Americans pretend to do relevant here?
Lmao, did you think I am American?
Ah sorry, were we talking about African elections?
When did I say you were?
Oh so you just went on some rant about Americans as a reply to me even though it's not relevant at all, gotcha
Yeah sorry I thought we were talking about American elections for a second there
I think they're suggesting that what regular Americans think doesn't actually affect the results of their "democracy" so it's not actually relevant. So ig they do agree with you
