It's not both-sides to say that Genocide Joe sucks ass. Yes, Trump is worse. But Biden is still awful. I don't say that in some effort to appease the right or sound somehow neutral, I say it because it's true.
Nah, you say it to sap unity and make people stay home from voting.
Your vibe is the same as the girls who say they bluntly "tell it as they see it" in their dating profile, but anyone with any relationship experience knows that means they're completely willing to make things toxic as fuck because they'll just vomit their selfish so called truth anywhere without caring about consequences or how it destroys, because it serves some sort of other motivation for them.
Using words to encourage people to embrace hopelessness and not vote is a propaganda technique to put Trump back in the Whitehouse, and him being there weakens the nation so immensely and catastrophically that it's extremely attractive to cash and weapons poor enemies to plop someone in front of a cheap computer to spread propaganda to attempt to destroy a nation from within. People who can't fight the US with military might will use words instead.
In short, your words are not neutral. You're either what is called a useful idiot, an ordinary person who swallowed outside propaganda whole and does the work of other interests here, or you're a knowing perpetrator.
I hope people here use whatever skills they picked up in English class however many years ago to think about not just the exact words of the poster I'm responding to, but why they posted this thing at this moment, their motivations beyond what they claim they are, and the effects of an appeal to truth on a reader and how that can influence perception even when the thing said isn't actually necessarily true or contains such a small flake of some truth that it is effectively turns into a lie when put beside the bigger and more vast and complicated truths.
Yeah! Everyone rally around genocide Joe! It's not like he's been paid more than any other US politician by pro Israel groups!
Helps you understand why he's so enthusiastic about delivering the weapons though.
Those stats go back 35 years. He's maybe the only person that's been in office that long, of course he's going to accumulate the most.
That’s not really a knock against his statement. That he has gotten a lot from Israel for a long time, and so may feel beholden to them.
I am also getting absolute sick of all of the people who are jumping down the throats of people who express weariness at Joe Biden being the democratic nominee. Like ffs, he is in no way representing my interests and is another step tword the right. It may be slower then the full on sprint of the Republican Party, but my ONLY input into this process is my vote. In the primaries i sure as shit did not vote for joe, and anyone refusing to vote because of the bull shit he’s pulled is justified.
Instead of blaming the disenfranchised you and the Democrats should find a better politician and better politics
LOL. Straight up apologism, nice.
LOL. Straight up misrepresentation of facts, nice.
Support colonial genocide more, I'm sure it will age like fine wine!
What's our other choice? More genocide and Ukraine falling as well.
You don't get a choice. I'm sorry if that was unclear.
Anyone not actively against it, is complicit, unfortunately.
Is that your conclusion? Not that supporting a candidate aiding in a genocide in the middle east, is supporting genocide?
Lol.
Most people here are voting for Biden, who is currently aiding a genocide, and structured arms deals to Israel in such a way to avoid congressional oversight, so why would I care about their conclusions?
This just in, disapproving of others distorting facts means you support a genocide.
You guys will really shoehorn that in anywhere, huh?
Genocide Joe thanks you for your support, Corn Pop.
Trump thanks you for yours.
Trump should have been hanged for treason, but you can buy your way to the presidency instead LOL.
I guess keep supporting treason then
Maybe if I lived in your country, you'd almost have a point. Keep supporting that genocide though, I'm sure showing unwavering support for a political party that's rapidly shifting right will have no long term consequences. No siree, smooth sailing after this 1 genocide.
You might just!
Keep supporting treason. I'm sure showing unwavering support for a political party that's already shifted far to the right will have no long term consequences.
Wut
What part are you having trouble with?
Oh you think I'm lying about not being in the US?
I'm Canadian. I live in Canada. I think we should sanction Biden.
No, I don't think you're lying about not being in the US.
You said you don't live in my country. How do you know that?
My apologies, I assumed your rabid support for a genocidal geriatric was because you were American.
Why do you have rabid support for a genocidal geriatric if you don't live there?
Why do you have rabid support for treason if you don't live there?
If me saying trump should have been hanged for treason is support, then you're too far gone to be reached.
If me calling out misrepresentation of information means I support genocide, then you're too far gone to be reached.
i think it's spelled "canadia"
Lol
