The reason I think 2016 was the last off-ramp is mainly because of conversations like this. The democrats could not have won in 2024 without the Arab vote in Michigan. You would be a single issue voter too if your mother, your father, your brother or, your lover was killed in a genocide with arms provided by the Biden administration. That is already fascism which you are engaging in apologia for. The Biden administration was no reprieve for some of us whose lives you’ve already disregarded.
I can only imagine the outrage coming from liberals if the same thing had happened in Israel and Trump had been in office. But Biden does it and you shrug it off.
The protests aren’t coming because civil society in the US has been destroyed by decades of neoliberal compromise with the right. American democracy wasn’t killed in a single election it was whittled down over decades of compromising with the right. Arguably going back to the new deal. The same thing is happening in Europe albeit more slowly.
It's astonishing that you'd let your country burn down just to make a point. America truly doesn't deserve Bernie.
Just so you know, to the rest of the world, you and MAGA supporters seem identical, just repeating diferent talking points.
By saying I’m just trying to “make a point” you’re only demonstrating you do not grasp the gravity of the situation. I’m willing to do what it takes to stop a genocide. After the holocaust the slogan was “never again” not “only again if its politically convenient for liberals.”
You’re willing to uncritically support your leaders because you think they’re on your side.
Well, I guess you guys need to work on your political science education over there, liberals are much closer to the far-right than leftists.
You say I don't grasp the situation, and I say that you are all deluded and are all burying your heads in the sand, just like Trumpers. Keep going like this, you guys are doing a great job. History will judge it as always.
Bye.
I’m like MAGA yet you’re the one defending a position which MAGA and the democrats agree on. Yes you’re misunderstanding the situation. History will judge us indeed.
Bye
