ahh you see that was different. like when the russian flag was edited out of television broadcasts for a while until the war fad wore off a bit

wimbledon loving banned russian players from competing and the ATP stripped the event of points, and the FA forced the russian owner of Chelsea to sell the team (while allowing a saudi group to buy newcastle!!!)

Here I go, wading into the sewers of this thread:

Active genocides in the world, 2024 (7 major):

Israeli Genocide of Palestinians
Ethopian/Tigrayan Conflict
Burmese Junta persecution of Karen/Shan/Rohinga
Chinese genocide of Uighur peoples
Russian genocide of Ukrainian people
Darfur/ South Sudanese Conflict (Arabs against Dinka)
Yemen Conflict (Sunni persecuting Shia Arabs)

Adjacent to Genocide (Pending or Nigh Genocides with a high probability- 5)
Congo conflict
Azeri-Armenian Conflict
Indian genocide of Indian Muslims
American 'MAGA' genocide of Mexicans/ democide of LGBT

Perennial Concerns- 3
Turkish/Iraqi treatment of Kurds
Indian treatment of Sikhs
Brazilian persecution of Tupi/indigene peoples

That's the current (lovely state of the world)

Now next, I'm trying to gauge whether a Biden administration would worsen or lessen each of these crises:

Israeli Genocide of Palestinians: WORSEN
Ethiopian Conflict: No probable effect
Burmese genocides: No probable effect
Chinese genocide of Uighurs: NO EFFECT
Russian Genocide of Ukraine: LESSEN
Sudanese Conflict: NO EFFECT
Yemen: NO EFFECT

Congo Conflict: NO EFFECT
Armenia-Azerbaijan: LESSEN
Indian BJP persecution of Muslims: NO EFFECT
American persecution of Latinos: LESSEN
American persecution of LGBT: LESSEN

Plight of the Kurdish people: LESSEN
Persecution of Sikhs: NO EFFECT
Brazilian persecution of Tupi: LESSEN

So overall, my assessment (with my JD in international law, Master's in History, BA in Political Science, and one thesis on international law): Biden is a wash on current genocides (score of 0), and a win on averting some significant near genocides that we are close to (+3).

No, here's my informed assessment of a 2nd Trump administration:

Israeli Genocide of Palestinians: WORSEN
Ethiopian/Tigrayan Conflict: NO EFFECT
Burmese persecution of Karen/Rohinga: NO EFFECT
Chinese genocide of UIGHUR: WORSEN
Russian genocide of Ukraine: WORSEN
Darfur/ South Sudan: WORSEN
Yemen Conflict: WORSEN

Congo Conflict: NO EFFECT
Azerbaijan-Armenia: WORSEN
Indian genocide of Muslims: WORSEN
American persecution of Latins: WORSEN
American persecution of LGBT: WORSEN

Turk/Kurds: WORSEN
Indian treatment of Sikhs: WORSEN
Brazilian persecution of Tupi/indigenes: NO EFFECT

So on the active genocides, Trump is at (-3), on nigh genocides (-4), and perennials (-2).

I revile Biden. I think he deserves condemnation in the manner of Clinton or Lyndon Johnson.

But in the hope of easing the suffering of the Ukrainian people, and averting further genocides/democides of the Latino peoples and North American LGBT, and also the Kurds, I'm voting and organizing strategically for Biden.

There are far too many of you who are willing to allow the perfect to become the enemy of the good. I'm acting on my best calculus that I can manage to minimize the maximum evils of our world.

None of this is to detract from the very real and very immediate genocide of the Palestinian people. But I'm trying to build as many lifeboats as I can manage from the shipwreck that is our species.

School taxes are unpopular only if they get used to support kids in "poor" schools.

I hate to break it to you, but taxes tend to be unpopular even when they’re directly supporting the people being taxed. School taxes face uphill battles even in lily white ultra rich districts. The racism is just a cherry on top of the baseline materialist objections.

tuns out dejoy was the smartest guy in the trump admin and immediately set about kissing up to all the dems on the usps board of governors and in congress, so i wouldn't hold my breath on any bad press

You say this as though all the dejoy stories from 2020 weren’t baseless propaganda to get dumb rubes to VBNMW. They will immediately vilify him again if necessary to get you to vote for Biden. So he can fire dejoy and fix the USPS in his second term, for real this time.

Dejoy is and always has done exactly what he was put there to do and the dems, especially Biden, have been in on it from the beginning.

he says the dems, including him, are idiots and mocks the idea that jan. 6 was "an assault on the temple of democracy" and points out that trump is "more ahead than he's ever been" bc the dems, including him, are idiots.

it's bizarrely & refreshingly honest, like a deathbed confession.
