I would like to clarify that my upbear of this post is not an endorsement of Joe Biden for president in 2028.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 35 points 1 month ago

I would like to clarify that my updoot of this post is not an endorsement of the meta nature of this post but rather because it was topical and gave me a sensible chuckle

[-] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

I would also like to clarify that my previous comment is a "bit".

[-] EndMilkInCrisps@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

Biden ain't going to be alive in four years.

[-] dumpster_dove@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago

That's what makes it funny

If he had actually died and they managed to Weekend at Bernie's him this election he probably would have won.

Shit i'da pulled the lever for him fer the one chance to vote for a good dem.

[-] Sasuke@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

he can still win if we vote for him

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

But what about the other Biden?

[-] blight@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

Jeb Biden, Jill’s new husband, heeds the call jeb

[-] blight@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

You underestimate the power of modern medicine for people who have money. Also he doesn’t have to sit the full 4 years, he just has to win.

They're gonna need to build a Golden Throne for Biden where they sacrifice thousands of Dem interns and volunteers daily to sustain him.

I understand the sentiment but this is a bit misanthropic

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Ya but they're already doin the blood ritual in gaza i say it's just bringin the game to the players

[-] Yllych@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

I don't think the bulk of democrat volunteers are directly complicit in Gazan genocide, their bosses/party officials/bureaucrats/bourgeois donors are the ones with the hands on the levers.

I don't think the bulk of democrat volunteers are directly complicit in Gazan genocide.

Though i am in no way fit to judge others whom i do not know, i strongly disagree with this. "Just doin their jobs" doesn't hold no truck with me. If you knowingly continue to work for a killer you are explicitly consenting that your own basic human right to life is equally valid. That is to say, their claim to that right is only as strong as their commitment to that right.

At the very least it would be unfair to be surprised of that being a consequence of their lack of morality.

[-] Yllych@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

I want to clear up that I am not absolving their efforts , I don't mean to absolve whatever effects democratic volunteers have on the Gazan genocide. However I think if you are talking people with direct culpability, there are much more useful targets than doorknockers or phonebankers. Media companies, arms manufacturers, AIPAC, Zionist lobbyists, democratic and Republican politicians and their major bankrollers are more accurate for a party to form a political target/program around.

I'll say first i'm not really arguing just in case i seem aggressive towards you. I'm not in the greatest mood but it's not you or this subject at all.

Let's not forget this convo is stemmin from a joke an all, but that aside yes there are more important targets but they would hardly be sacrificed for his eternal reign now would they?

Context of joke being the govt starts killing its lowest level workers and (which isnt even far of from the truth), not which of these motherfuckers should face the wall first.

Yes you are right I wandered off the og comment a bit. I'm just sick of being surrounded by this monstrous society when I know that there's nothing fated or determined about how shitty it is ,and sometimes I feel insane knowing that two German guys 150 years ago proved mathematically both how shitty it is, and how it could be transformed utterly by the same people mired in the shit. And here we are still pushing that boulder up the mountain. But what else are we gonna do?

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I wrote a long-ass effort reply yesterday which just basically boiled down to agreeing with you but then hexbear ate it and i got sad. Anyway

I don't think the bulk of ~~democrat~~ National Socialist volunteers are directly complicit in ~~Gazan genocide~~ the holocaust, their bosses/party officials/bureaucrats/bourgeois donors are the ones with the hands on the levers.

[-] Poogona@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

Honestly I'm gonna assume this is what's gonna happen

It would be by far the stupidest possible future, and that means it's most likely

[-] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

If Trump doesn't run again in 2028 they don't need joe biden, who as we all know, is the only democrat to NEVER have lost an election to DJT
