nice strawman

Then you are siding with the guy who moved the embassy to Jerusalem and supports the a no holds barred genocide with zero calls for restraint and cheers for the settler terrorists.

Sitting on the sidelines in 2024 will not improve the lot of the Palestinians but it will have severe negative consequences for other oppressed groups world wide.

:thunk: gee I wonder what they could mean by "severe negative consequences", perhaps they could put into words what those severe and negative consequences would be. What would we be trying to prevent from happening??

thanks to the strong and vibrant nature of our democracy, for most Americans there is basically no chance that your vote for President will actually impact who becomes president. lol

Very confused on the fanfiction that Trump won't step down at the end of his second term. The guy wants to die in Mar-a-Lago, the presidency is too much work. He just doesn't want the shame of being a one-term president.

Point that out and they'll say that he tried and came so close to succeeding and democracy was only saved by the skin of our vote, and if he gets a second term, he'll be able to finish the job before democracy has a chance to fully heal.

who gives a poo poo if it did, its not like being able to vote for one of two halves of the oligarchy changes anything

because of the 2000 election we already know libs would take it lying down if someone actually did steal an election

If we elect Trump again, he might invite some small business owners to mill around the us capitol for a few hours before leaving and all being sent to jail forever

Only this time it'll work!!! And he can't do it if he loses the election, because the power of your vote will have defeated him

Rich people were happier under Trump

I think the powers gave Biden a chance... I don't know what for. The illusion of American hegemony?

But that experiment's over, nobody cared and it didn't really move the needle - in fact, Biden ended up making GBS threads up the global status quo worse somehow.
So there's money to be made and Trump is going to make sure the people who put him back in charge are the ones making it

They really love to say “but what about the GOP?” when people want to hold Democrats accountable. You bring up how the Democrats failed to codify Roe, they’ll say that it’s really the GOP’s fault even tho the Dems were in power.

also they'll deny there was a straight line from dem gov. casey's state-level restrictions that led to the overturning of Roe.

quote:

They also individualize the Democrats when it comes to the things that are bad or they fail to pass something. So it’s specifically Manchin’s or Sinema’s faults but not the whole party. But they’ll demand that you vote for the Democrats at the same time simply because they’re Democrats. Assessing whether or not a democrat is bad is alright but the party as a whole deserves your vote.

that's why they were protesting schiff's & porter's speeches at the convention, bc both oppose a ceasefire.

and that's why I said the current schism is so fascinating, bc even tho dems love to point out that The Other Guys Are Worse this isn't true when it comes to the I/P war, for which only one senator (durbin, of all people) has called for a ceasefire--a stunning lack of backbone combined with AIPAC capture when clear majorities of dem voters (and a majority of GOP voters!) want a ceasefire.

People protesting the Democratic platform should be a good thing: it means they are persuadable voters that you could get on your side by negotiating with them. If they gave up on you and went to try to influence the GOP instead that would a bad sign.

It's like when those activists asked Hillary to stop supporting bad things and instead of hearing them out went "oh well why don't you run for office then if you think you know better", do they want votes or not.

it really does no good for their entryism arguments, bc as we've seen there is no moving the party leftish in any way & they'll end up moving further right, as with their Fund the Police in the year of BLM protests.

Because when libs do it, they're simply trying to save us from ourselves since we're too stupid to vote any better. They absolutely believe we should be free to vote for whoever they choose.
Trump obviously wouldn't even allow that.
