C’mon Jack, Biden was still shipping munitions until his last days in office. None of those assholes we’re going to stop this

Yeah but at least we could have retained our domestic civil liberties and our own right to civilly protest the genocide under the other guys? Now we have nothing, less than nothing.

We could have also not have a dept of DOGE, but that’s not the argument here. Enough whataboutism and just accept that there was no US candidate that was actual stand up to Israel.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 11 months ago

Trump is, in more than one way, your punishment for trying to have civil liberties at home while funding genocide abroad. That contradiction was only ever going to result in one thing and that was Trump.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

LOL, you think most Americans, let alone most Democrats, support funding genocide abroad?

Also, I love how people constantly blame anyone but the far right and their decades-long efforts for the culmination of donvict slithering into office. No one deserves a shitstain like donvict ruining the country and working to make the entire world worse.

Not enthusiastic support, but "Let's wait for Later™ before we do anything about this" is also support. The resulting anti-dissent defensive herd mentality is proof of that. You'll probably defend that as "strategic voting" or "picking your battles" or whatever, but nothing less than a resolute "No" is acceptable as a response to genocide.

No one deserves a shitstain like donvict ruining the country and working to make the entire world worse.

Really? Because I can think of a few names. And in the first place things are only getting worse for the first world; the destruction of the American-European imperial alliance will be met with celebration over here, but let's not lose sight of the point. Keeping your civil rights without opposing genocide was a losing proposition from the very start, and no amount or "hold your nose and vote for her" will change that.

The centrist wing has no other policy they're willing to actually go to bat for.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I'm talking about the voters. How many Democratic voters want genocide in Gaza?

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

Sorry, not allowed to reply honestly.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 11 months ago

Imagine getting your post removed for "misinfo" when you're saying the truth. clown.world

You never deserved those liberties if it means you're okay with enabling genocide.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that anyone ever listened to my opinion on the subject.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 11 months ago

You the People of America had a year-long referendum on the subject.

[-] nomoregerm@lemmy.cafe -3 points 11 months ago

You were willing to sacrifice foreigners in exchange for your safety. You're a coward and you don't deserve it.

If I'm ever given the choice between fascism here and genocide in America, well, I hope you have places to hide. How does your own medecine taste like?

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Those deaths did nothing to enhance our safety. They may have added to the power and wealth of a few of Netanyahu's cronies, and probably his family members. That's all.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

Yeaaaahh, but would it have been the exact same? Would it have been juuuust as bad as it is now, and will become, soon?

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I suppose we’ll never know…outside of the fact Biden was still providing bombs up until the end of his term. Maybe he would have just stopped, but all of his actions refute the idea.

[-] FatCrab@lemmy.one 1 points 11 months ago

If you look at Harris' history and the constituency of the DNC in general as compared to that of the RNC, no, I think it's fair to say that her presidency would have been very different when it comes to Israel. Keep in mind, that Trump getting elected basically have Netanyahu a multi-day orgasm. There's a good reason for this. Likewise, all of Likud and the Kahanists.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 0 points 11 months ago

Yeah, no, sorry, not sorry, if you can't see the difference between boden and Trump then you're an idiot. I'm fresh out of patience for people claiming the cheeto isn't that bad

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

There are many differences between trump & biden, but not when it comes to Israel.

[-] nomoregerm@lemmy.cafe 0 points 11 months ago

Shut the fuck up bitch they killed my friend LAST YEAR. not now. LAST YEAR.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Several members of my wife's family were massacred in the nakba, and my wife and kids narrowly escaped being bombed in Beirut in 2006. And I can say with full confidence that you are babbling incoherently.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io -2 points 11 months ago

The cheeto isn't not that bad. The Democratic establishment is just that bad when it comes to Palestine. The cheeto is still as bad as can be, but in this particular case the Democrats also are.
