    Ruh roh, looks like I'm a rUsSiAn BoT because I criticized our genocidal president ¯\_(⊙︿⊙)_/¯

    Arming a genocidal regime and imprisoning and murdering innocent refugees at the southern border is just normal after all, and I just need to be rEaLiStIc becuase it's so hard simply not to commit multiple human rights violations

    Whenever someone posts a meme like this all the "vote harder" people come out of the woodwork to get mad at the OP. I've never told people not to vote, but I do 1000% believe that voting is the absolute least you can do to progress society.

    Edit: don't bother reporting OP for this meme because I'm not gonna take it down.

      Same. I've literally said I'd vote for Biden, but I still get accused of supporting Trump by conservative and centrist Democrats. They're willing to hand-wave atrocities for the sake of a campaign. I'm not willing to overlook the suffering caused by our current administration, nor to deflect blame onto others.

        Well I'm not voting for Biden, I've never voted for a democrat presidential candidate as they are indistinguishable from republicans, at minimum, a decade ago.

        Therefore with whatever God or enthropic void entity out in the cosmos, or whoever is reading this comment more realistically, as my witness - I will never vote for evil.

    This is the most successful republican presidency since George Bush and you want to throw it all away for the republicans to win. We've declared war on the entire middle east, we're doing the most egregious genocide since the holocaust, we declared SARS-CoV over and the economy fixed purely through the power of pretending. We're this close to enacting the entire republican border policy, if only the republicans would vote for it but they won't tie that to funding our genocide or our Nazi Mujaheddin currently replaying how the Nazis lost WW2. We need to enshrine our fossil fuel production and expand it wherever we can, to put a right-wing Christian man in charge of handling abortion rights, and to ensure a senile husk is in charge of every major decision for however long he lives into his term. That's the only way Kamala Harris can run unopposed as an incumbent president in 2028 to save democracy.

      Except it looks like the border policy is shared by both parties. More people are being imprisoned and deported under Biden than were under Trump, but anyone with a modicum of empathy is told to stfu for the sake of a campaign.

        And means-tested to a point of absurdity that's on par with Kamala Harris saying you deserved student loan forgiveness if you're a pell grant recipient who runs a business in a ghetto for three years. It's like them inventing new kinds of mathematics to explain why your COVID stimulus payment is actually what you were supposed to get instead of what your lying tankie eyes see. Liberals are smiling foxes.

    Collateral damage from drone strikes went up 800% under Trump before his admin stopped reporting that data

      Lmao I don't think anyone's arguing that trump isn't a shithead.

      Point is both are genocidal imperialist parties. The US political system only exists to protect capital and imperialism after all, since its government has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2.

        You'd be surprised. Seen so many arguing that they should be protesting him too, because it's totally possible trump the deranged sociopath could be swayed.

      "Randomly" lmao

      "peace time" lmao

      More like in the middle of having their land stolen, their people dying and kept under poverty for decades, and the few that resist getting killed, tortured and worse, all with the benediction - or at best lip-service against it - of the West

      "Israel" is a colonialist racist project that will be destroyed

      “Hey, do you think, just maybe, that if we stop attacking Nazi Germany randomly during peace time, that this wouldn’t happen?”

      -You during the Jewish Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

      Neither were peacetimes of course, but I doubt someone this ignorant would care about that.

      Peacetime is when you're actively occupying another people's land and subjecting the indigenous population to a brutal apartheid regime.

      Have you ever heard the opinions of people who've actually worked in Gaza about the conditions Gazans were living under prior to October 7th, or did history just start when our allies and our government say it started?

      I'd say you're just being disingenuous but I've come to learn some people really are just this stupid.
