Biden is so outraged that just in the last 4 days or so he's promised the sale/transfer of tens billions of dollars worth of F-35s, F-15s, and huge bombs for Israel. His talk of grief and anger is cheap political theater to save his presidential campaign and anyone who actually believes him is wilfully blinding themselves. His words only changed when people started voting uncommitted, and his actions never did. What he actually does, which is the only thing that counts, is force US money to enable nation-level war crimes whether or not the citizens want it.

He is a neocon giving the most facetious of lip service to the left wing HALF of America.

Liberals officially have no party.

Small wonder since we have let this 2 party farce go on for so long.

In the historical sense of liberalism, liberals have a party. Left-wingers don't.

[-] Melkath@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago

I'll take your word for it.

All I know is that in the Bill Clinton era, the middle class thrived and America bombed Serbia instead of giving them armament to genocide Croatia.

His hag of a wife made sure to kill all that though.

I think you meant power hungry cunt. Hag is too nice a word.

She was a bad opponent against Trump after decades of attacks from the right, she was not viable for most of the country ignoring the fact that misogynist men won't ever vote for a woman in any office.

[-] Melkath@kbin.social 4 points 7 months ago

I don't know how relevant "misogynistic men" is.

If liberals got a primary, AOC would be DESTROYING both Trump and Biden.

I firmly believe it.

Amazing to be throwing around the word misogynist while unironically using misogynist insults

And what did they do in Yugoslavia?

[-] Melkath@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago

Serbia was Yugoslavia. They tried to genocide the Croatians. They got bombed to hell.

Like Istanbul was Constantinople.

Idk when the first one ships but the order is set to be completed after 5 years from now. Biden's still a fucking loser over how he handled Isreal, I hope he keels over because of it, but we do still have to acknowledge the nuance that the F15s won't affect the current situation in Gaza.

Irrelevant. Someone who is outraged shouldn't be offering to help in the future, either.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 2 points 7 months ago

Well, I mean, it was purely semantics but idk if it is completely irrelevant.
