I can't tell what on the left is doing. Someone help?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

If you are being serious that's Derek Chauvin murdering George Floyd

Thanks, that is very helpful as I had no idea what the OP image was

[–] [email protected] 17 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I was. Never saw photo before thanks for helping

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Of course!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 13 hours ago

From Wikipedia:

And the guy representing the DNC is Tou Thao, who prevented onlookers from intervening in the murder. Highly appropriate meme.

Please report any genocide denying US democrats below. They set up shop on a lot of the fediverse, but we don't have to provide them a space here.

Why did your party do this?

After winning the Nobel peace prize, he dropped an average of 30k bombs / year (80 per day) during his presidency, mostly on Muslim countries, 2, 3. In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia.
Began a campaign of drone assassinations in the Middle East and Africa, in which 90% of those killed were not the intended targets, but innocent civilian bystanders, including women, children, and US citizens. 1. Drone strikes are used by the military and the CIA to hunt down and kill people the Obama administration has deemed — through secretive processes, without indictment or trial — worthy of execution. He authorized 10 times more drone strikes than George W Bush, 2. The Obama assassination program is detailed in the drone papers.

The US democrats are a vicious, brutal, genocidal party.

If not sooner or as soon as he distanced himself from Reverend Wright's words, let alone with quitting his church over them to become more powerful, we should have known. And it's easy to "sell our souls" by centimeters, of "not as bad," and I've certainly been guilty. It creeps up on us.

It's hard to know exactly when that sudden, terrible decisive action needs be taken, but there is a point when not taking it is the worse crime against humanity. In thinking of the necessary terrible wars fought, I think of the Kali myth of going into battle to help her husband. She licked the blood from the ground not as an act of simple bloodlust, but because not doing that would mean a demon would have sprung from every drop spilled.

What that looks like in a decisive war action is in need of serious and long discussion.

Any criticism of Democrats isn't the same thing as saying "both sides are the same"

[–] [email protected] 21 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Nah, people like you who were willing to defend any evil committed by the democrats, up to and including genocide, are the reason you have Trump now

[+] [email protected] -12 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

if you still think that reps and dems are the same after Trump's actions during his current term, then you must not be reading any news or you're willingly blind to his atrocities.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

"willingly blind to his atrocities"
Says the Blue MAGA character that for a year at least didn't want to see the painfully obvious mental state of Genocide Joe(IDGAF) but worse, his atrocities in occupied Palestine or the kids he put in cages in record numbers.
Complete hypocrite.

Let me guess: You didnt vote for Harris and wouldnt have voted for Biden? You still call him genocide Joe showing how completely stupid you are. Under Biden Gaza got some help at least. Trump wants Gaza to be cleared of Palestinians to built his Hotel there. Why dont you call him genocide Trump?

You are responsible for everything that is happening to palestinians under Trump if you didnr vote for the only candidate that could have beat him.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 18 hours ago

Why did Biden do this?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 18 hours ago

I don't live in your embarrassing banana republic.
I just make fun of you idiots.
He will eternally be Genocide Joe bcs he did absolutely nothing to end it, on the contrary he helped tand armed those genociders.
The Pissraelis said it themselves.
OC you in your infantile campist reasoning want to make it about Trump.
Trump bad, our side good! Any criticism means you're from the other side.
And I love Trump, yes he's a slightly more fascist AH than Blue MAGA but he's very good at destroying your shithole.
Expediating the demise of your warmongering shithole. This is the best thing that can happen for the world.
Since 95% votes for 1 of 2 MAGA sides you all deserve it.
I feast on your tears.
Please cry more.

"Whoever knows what is right but doesn’t do it is sinning. So then, if we do not do the good we know we should do, we are guilty of sin".

Just to quote the Bible that the Republicans love so much

[–] [email protected] 19 points 20 hours ago

They're not the same. But the Dems are just watching.

You know, like the picture shows.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 22 hours ago

Tbf he's a fascist in disguise, and his followers don't know how to open a pdf, so there's that.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago

Not exactly. The mass pig expansion program across the country in the 1990s was spearheaded by Bill Clinton. The pro pig Dems are just as actively racist and murderous as the pro pig Reps.
