This "both sides" is bullshit when you are getting a train run on you by the Republicans...

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 65 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

And the leader of the Democrats describes his job as "keeping the left pro Israel".

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Correct, but still not even close to the same thing. More of this "balanced" stuff.

Anywho on the plus side, he's getting wrecked in the polls vs AOC who's looking to take his place though.

How isn't it the same thing? Supporting Israel is supporting Israel if you put a Donkey on your branding or an elephant.

Interesting.

Obama dropped an average of 80 bombs per day on the ME and North Africa during his presidency. The number of civilians murdered is impossible to calculate.

For a USAmerican(or any other person), their primary concern would be their own safety, right?

Unless they can form/support a major third party, they are effectively forced to a two-choice system

[–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Choosing not to participate in the two choice system is how you get a third choice btw

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

When both choices explicitely lead to mass murder its mandatory for any ethical person to do all they can to make some third outcome happen.

Voting quietly for what may be slightly less mass murder but certainly is still mass murder is a pathetic and shameful way to chart a course forward. A handful of us have more dignity than that.

Yet clearly that did not fucking happen and people are STILL getting genocided on top of many many more shitty things. Life is worse for everyone now congrats.

[–] Achyu@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago

What would the steps be for that?

I'm not USAmerican, so I don't know much of the base level stuff there. I think they have a green party or so. But are they a good/distinct enough choice?

The USA is not the world, and its citizens should start looking towards the welfare of the people their country murders.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 18 points 2 weeks ago (17 children)

Are you denying that the Dems are shit? Just because the Reps are worse and currently in power?

What kind of an argument is that supposed to be?

For sure, the republicans are worst.

But the dems are still not good.

Americans have no representation at all.

[–] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago

After the train run on you by democrats...

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You really don't get it, huh?

People heard that shit last time, and they voted democrat, and Biden won. And ABSOLUTELY NOTHING changed.

At the end of the day, the rich got richer and the poor got poorer, just like they did with trump, and with Obama, and with every single president who has taken office in god knows how many decades.

And still you're here yapping "oh noes the horrors, vote Dems".

Bro, the Dems aren't LISTENING! Get a Bernie up there, or an AOC, or anyone that the people actually believe will do anything other than feeding the same interests they have been feeding.

And if you're too thick to realize that, at least you're not alone, the whole DNC is right there with you.

When it comes to foreign policy and making the rich richer? Absolutely. The only potential difference is on some social issues.
