Unlimited government surveillance
Unlimited power to ban leftist non-profits
Banning leftist social media
Sicing cops on students all over the country
Giving $95 billion to fascist regimes all over the world

lmao this shit is nuts and an escalation of fascism we haven't seen since the early days after 9/11. After months of fear-mongering about the supposed takeover of all facets of government by MAGA fascists if Trump wins, the fuckin dems went and passed everything they warned us would pass if we didn't bend the knee and back Genocide Joe, I think most leftists (including me) are still too shell shocked at this early stage to realize the full implications of what we've just been hit with, seriously wtf

the parmesantarian revealed that the powers of the presidency can only be used to do bad things, sorry sweaty Biden doesn't have the power to make sweeping changes for good only for bad

"Look I hate to be the one to tell you this but the president isn't God, he can't just do whatever he wants"

*Biden announces he's sending more arms to Isreal with or without congressional approval

"Maybe some day you'll understand that politics is about compromise, also fuck you, were not going to stop doing a genocide and you better still vote for us"

If you don't vote for the blue genocide enabler then a dastardly red genocide enabler might get in! the-democrat

R/politicalhumor unironically had thisnpist today where it was the trolley problem but the democratic side was one person labeled Palestine and the republican side had like 4 or 5 people.

At least they've moved on from trying to say they aren't genocidal maniacs and are just tryng to brow beat other people into agreeing to also support genocide.

at this point Reddit is just various private influence campaigns plus the CIA influence campaign that is Reddit management sort of smashing up against each other

"Vote for our genocide or the other team will genocide even more people you care about" literally just a threat to frame it like that

Saw a comment in the thread (which was heavily downvoted obviously) that I'm stealing

"You have to vote for biden or else Trump might bomb the rubble and mass graves"

[-] Sons_of_Ferrix@hexbear.net 29 points 7 months ago

Look I hate to be the one to tell you this but the president isn't God

"Then how is Trump going to become Supreme Dictator if he's elected?"

"..."

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago

"Because he doesn't limit himself with the rules we invented as excuses for why we can't do anything, and if we also stopped making excuses for why we can't do good things we'd be no different from people who do bad things."

[-] Sons_of_Ferrix@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

"Even that being the case, wouldn't he need massive support from the military and upper echelons of the intelligence community? Which he doesn't have. Also I think the ruling class of this country are pretty happy with the current neoliberal order and wouldn't support Trump going full dictator."

What happened to the parliamentarian that pinned every Biden promise to the left against the backboard?

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 41 points 7 months ago

But he's the most left president since FDR! biden-leftist

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 21 points 7 months ago

If you say it enough times it becomes true! Don't you want it to be true? Why aren't you saying it then?

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 38 points 7 months ago

vote for people who seem good

they flip to terrible people immediately

get told should have voted harder to get anything helpful done

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 49 points 7 months ago

I wish.

The people aren't even making the effort to seem good.

The literal current message of the democratic party is "fuck you were going to keep doing whatever the fuck we want. We know you don't like it but what are you going to do, let trump win?"

Trump is a massive asset for the democrats because they're literally using him as a gun to take their own voters hostage.

[-] bleepbloopbop@hexbear.net 43 points 7 months ago

yeah. fetterman was the last one to get a big media push like "hey look at this guy he's progressive or whatever" and even with him it was a pretty thin veneer. Now he's one of the worst

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 35 points 7 months ago

Honestly Fetterman is about the one person I can think of recently (Sinema last election cycle) that actually did try to pretend to be halfway decent before doing a heel turn and literally telling his voters to go fuck themselves.

Hopefully it works as well for him as it did for her and hes a pariah for a couple years before being primaried by 40 points.
