lol what democracy?
Whether a country is a democracy or not depends on whether its people are really the masters of the country. If the people are awakened only for voting but enter a dormant period soon after, if they are given a song and dance during campaigning but have no say after the election, or if they are favored during canvassing but are left out in the cold after the election, such a democracy is not a true democracy.
This narrative of "trump will be worse for palestine" is dogshit when the status quo is already an exterminationist genocide.
What's he gonna do? Double genocide? Fucking libs are so stupid.
They think Trump would nuke Gaza for one thing. They can't think of the reality of that, or they think Israel would want a nuke going off in what they consider their own territory.
They can't fathom another Trump presidency outside of complete apocalypse. The reality is too painful for them: Biden and Trump are the same person and their presidencies have been largely the same. The only difference is Biden is less funny.
Nuking gaza is no fucking different to bombing it until there's nothing and nobody left.
I do not give a shit who is doing the genocide. It's genocide. You can't go higher.
If their argument is instead that Trump will be more competent as a military leader than Biden and Palestine would have a harder time resisting ... is that really the line they wanna go for? That Biden is less competent than Trump?
no it's different, if we nuke it israel can't settle it as soon
It also completely disregards who Biden is and his history of being a genocidal warmongering maniac
Yea unironically good if Trump "hands over" Ukraine to Russia.
Also pulling U.S out of NATO? U.S. is NATO.
Of course. Somehow libs cling to the delusion that all those countries are equal members, because power doesn't exist in their world - at least when its inconvenient for them
Ukraine wants to join NATO so that Estonia will protect it from Russia. Everyone knows that.
just an alliance of totally equal partners
When things are fine, we're all equal citizens of the world!
But when things are not fine, those ~~dirty savages~~ terrorist militants are about to find out why we don't have Healthcare!
One of those losers was saying he can't call what 
is doing a genocide because the court hasn't ruled on it yet while simultaneously saying 
is being genocided for the 2nd time
I Hate libs so fucking much
Ooo! Oo! i want early modern europe webs of complex opposing alliances! 
Always wanted to clap me an Archduke
say it with me:
abstaining from voting is not the same as voting for republican
voting a third party is not the same as voting for republican
the democrats never had my vote in the first place because they dont care about me and want me to die. well and also because im not american, but you know.
They're basically admitting that they consider themselves entitled to everyone's vote by default.
They don't care. Their whole world view is based on them being the "good people." That's why they never have to reevaluate their positions, and believe that they "can't fail, the can only be failed."
I used to like/tolerate some of my city-level Dems for some half-decent stuff they did with the schools and infrastructure, but then they started saying bombing hospitals was self defense and even they lost me.
Tell me how Biden will stop any of those things happening when he failed to even stop trans and abortion bans?
Say it with me: If Biden loses, it was his failure to appeal to the left that caused it.
The Democrats have done everything in their power to burn bridges with the left. They have made it very clear that they are not our allies. If they want peoples votes, they will have to earn it. That is democracy.
The worst thing about the Ukraine war wasn't even the support, but the fact Ukraine had agreed to a peace deal in April 2022 and then the west conjured up this grand double down strategy of endless support because they believed Russia would be defeated through sanctions etc...
The Russians were right to call it a SMO and not a war it was going to be over within 60 days with mostly all their goals achieved.
They're pre-blaming the left for the eventual loss because they know biden is cooked
This is correct. Cant blame the Bernie bros or Russian troll farms for Bidens total lack of domestic support
I am gobsmacked by how bottomless the pit of liberal idiocy is. Even they should see the argument of putting pressure on Biden to make him stop a genocide.
But that's supposedly unreasonable. Liberals don't even see that possibility. Apparently it is the other way around pressure needs to be applied on those who are against genocide as genocide is just a given. How fucking dare they.
Consequently they see even less potential for political participation than I do, yet they call the US democratic and I don't.
They want to get it in your head that there is nothing you can do to prevent your representative from genociding, but that that doesn't mean he doesn't still represent your interests, "C'mon man".
"If your representative doesn't represent your interests, then we have to work on your interests! Especially if you have a problem with genocide."
There must be a way to wake up from this fucking nightmare. Or better yet wake everyone else up!
People who still think like this after Biden are a lost cause. They might as well be Qanon.
lol go canvass for Biden if you love Genocide Joe so much, libs. Put your feet to the street and show us how the importance you ascribe to this election translates into mobilization. See how well you can motivate people lol.
Oh, you're just gonna whine in advance about your likely loss? Cool. Most important election ever?
PS commies don't vote for libs for president, we're not on your team and you can't shame us into supporting capitalism or genocide. Go shame your racist peepaw, you'll have better luck and you're waaay closer to him ideologically.
Biden can't even enforce the Supremacy Clause and has almost half the states saying they may send troops to Texas to oppose the federal government.
dismantles democracy in the US
Yeah get out there and vote for one of the two kkkrakkkas that like 70% of the country don't want to run again.
That's the democracy they think they're saving lol, where they are always one election away from dictatorship, and there is only one choice, and he's someone that no one likes who has mostly maintained the policies of the "authoritarian" predecessor
democracy in the us
what in the US????
Whomp whomp run someone better. I'm voting Green Party. 
I got sick of blocking endless democrat "shame" texts and started telling them directly to fuck off. "This is our ninth (!) Attempt and you still haven't taken your loyalty pledge and given tribute to Biden!"
Just seriously fuck off. There is no difference for the next 4 years. In 2028 we can the opposite party for 8 years. Which brings us to 2036 with a younger fascist republican all so you can keep your genocidal zombie.
So:
-changes nothing
-ends a war
-critically diminishes the military arm of the US empire
-continues what started under Biden thanks to the hubris of RBG
-who gives a shit
-that's just JROTC and we already have it
-changes nothing
-lol
Trump fucking sucks, no doubt, but the scaremongering is off the rails. Trump was already president and was basically as ineffectual as any president, with a bit more racism.
Every single election cycle it's suddenly painted as a life-or-death situation to vote Biden, seemingly just to shut up anyone who actually wants to criticise the system as a whole.
What a tiresome election year.
Honestly if Trump could and would realistically pull US out of NATO, he'd be the best US president and it wouldn't be close
where's that yu-gi-oh meme where a guy says a vote for a third party is a vote for trump and then yu-gi-oh pulls a card out that says a third party vote is a vote for biden and then the dude recoils at this epic comeback
this kind of thing hasn't worked for me because I think liberals can't fathom someone voting for Trump. They think of conservative voters like a tornado or gravity, like it's an inherent feature of nature that can't be fought or bargained with. They only see room to gain ground among leftists.
and conservatives don't believe their candidate wins through voting, but rather through divine appointment, so nothing is gained by threatening to sit out a vote
Jesus fuck they're hyperbolic and the pulling US out of NATO shows how little they understand geopolitics while being smug af about it
It's going to come down to one vote and it was mine and I didn't vote so a deranged lib or chud shoots me.
It's the dunk tank.
