As "funny" as this might be, if you don't fucking vote Biden you're likely voting for a huge world wide change off a cliff. If Trump wins, then your precious Gaza will be wiped out or whatever similar words he used. And that is just the start. His claims, he wants to be a dictator, the 2025 document basically wishes the US to become Gilead, and lots more fun stuff.

Seriously, maybe this might be slightly panicky, but these are things that are in all seriousness claimed by the Republican party and Trump. That is what you will be voting for if you don't vote Biden , so how about you shut the . up for now about this, at least until after the elections?

On a side note, I can guarantee you that these groups end up receiving funding from Russia and whatnot. Not that they do that willingly or knowingly, but with Russia continuously meddling in US politics, you can rest assured that Putin won't sit by while this is happening, he needs his useful idiot in US power.

You know who could very quickly win those voters back and make sure he wins in a landslide? Joe Biden. And you know what is all that he has to do for it? Stop sending weapons and money to Israel. This is already what the US laws mandate by the way. So all he has to do is uphold US laws he is currently breaking

Bonus points for recognizing Palestine internationally and getting Israeli war criminals in front of the ICC.

Why are you blaming the victims of Bidens politics instead of Biden, who has all the power to change these things right now?

You can fuck ALL the way off with that bullshit. Libs like this are going to guarantee low turnout if they keep callously screaming shit like this to people who feel strongly about not being party to butchering children.

Instead of threatening and blaming voters you should be threatening and blaming the administration for alienating and disenfranchising millions of voters who would otherwise vote for him.

Criticism of Biden is not endorsement of trump. The people protesting are likely progressives who hate trump.

What about Atrocity Trump? They point at Biden, but never the disaster trump would ensure.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 months ago (16 children)

Biden is the one supporting slaughter right now, and Biden is the one with power to stop it.

What would protesting Trump do?

You know who's currently president and is currently sending weapons to Israel right?

[–] Classy 9 points 3 months ago

I'm so glad Trump is running because it means Biden can do literally anything and every single voter can just scream BUT TRUMP TOO and suddenly Joe is absolved.

How is that relevant to this? Are people not allowed to protest now because "other guy would be worse"? That's an actual authoritarian tactic.

This isn't saying "Trump would be better". This is saying "Biden supporting a genocide is unacceptable".

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

Woaah. Hold up there cowboy. Are you suggesting we hold politicians responsible for their policy?

Yeah, we should all pretend everything's fine so that after the election happens we can keep sending bombs to do genocide.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I personally fully agree with the image created by the protestors AND plan on voting for Biden.

Young people think this election is theirs to lose.

Say hello to your ronald regan moment. Say hello to your nixon moment. Say hello to your george bush moment. Say hello to your trump moment.

That's what will haunt you until you die in a shittier world than what you started in.

And when you wonder why progress is never possible you can think back to it.

These kids are gonna feel none of the blowback when trump wins and when actual palestinians ask them why they let the Genocide come here they'll give some karen shit about how it's the party's job to convince them to vote against fascism happening here.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Yeah

"Genocide Joe" seems like the perfect republican plot to make people abstain from voting because the deliberately leave out how Trump would make matters 100 times worse.

Biden is constantly challenging Netanyahu while Trump would deliberately hand them a full and permanent occupation of Palestine on a silver plate.

People already forgot that it was trump who moved the embassy to Jerusalem basically destroying the USAs support for a two state solution?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Yes it's actually quite despicable. Anyone using the brain dead slogan of genocide Joe is literally downplaying genocide. This isn't a defense of biden. Biden is making his own problems here. What he is doing is enabling. Not committing genocide. Even then he actually has been pushing diplomatically for it to stop. I get it though. Enabling Biden or enabling Joe doesn't really have the propaganda punch. Not like Bibi The Butcher of Bethlehem.

People don't want diplomacy. They want what they want. And they don't care or understand how they could get it. It's easy to make demands. Anyone can do it. Getting things done is a lot harder. This isn't too attack anyone putting pressure on Biden to put pressure on Netanyahu. Just the irresponsible ones making it genocide belittling propaganda slogans.

It would be the ideal platform for the GOP to run on...if they weren't also in AIPAC's pocket like the Democrats and Biden.

Oh, you bet. Republicans are getting a big fat chub over this topic. This war in Gaza is the best thing that could have ever happened to them in the year long run up to the election. Wouldn't doubt that China and Russia are also responsible for spreading the message to sow discord and doubt. For every person they successfully convince to stay home on election day, that shortens that gap between Trump and Biden by one less vote in Trump's favor, not to mention the even more important down ballot races.

Forget trying to explain this to people on Lemmy, though. They're not interested in listening.

Yeah, we should let Joe do genocide because if we don't, Trump will do genocide 😢

Pathetic.
