Whoa people are mad that their president is funding a genocide?? :0
Smh they should just stfu and vote. Who cares about foreigners dying
Trump didn't care about US citizens dying, or did he apologize for fucking up his covid response yet?
Trump is a fascist piece of shit.
Biden is not, and he should not be supporting a genocide.
Trump is a fascist piece of shit
Biden is a zionist piece of shit
Lmao did you think I was suggesting he's somehow better?
I just find it funny that Americans pretend like their bourgeois "democracy" isn't just a poorly veiled oligarchy where you get to "choose" between the genocidal zionazi party and the fascist party.
Neither of whom give a fuck about the working class, though one is a bit better at pretending like they do.
One side is clearly better unless you do false equivalence, look at the mortality rate of mothers in states with abortion bans and without etc.
I know this is not as edgy of a take as your both sides cuntery but there is clearly a better and worse choice for the US regardless what kind of zionazi epic words you want to use from your basement setup.
It's not like Americans don't know their system is broken, but it's not like they can fix it one day to the next, they have an election coming up where they have to choose between a shit candidate and a straight up fascist who tried to overthrow their election
Yeah I do agree people should probably still vote for the genocide party, as long as they're organizing outside the system and building class consciousness to eventually overthrow it.
Just that they shouldn't pretend like they're not voting for a genocidal zionazi.
Are "genocide" and "nazi" also "epic words"? It conveys the fact that Biden is a zionist and a nazi quite well, no? Specially when I've linked him admitting he is one.
He's backing Israel because it's what they've always done. It's a strategic alliance. It's Nathan yahoo dropping bombs on cities
Is that why Biden is such an ardent zionist?
People trying to blame one guy for everything wrong instead of blaming the capitalist system that necessitates supporting a genocidal colony for profit and expansion in the first place will never not be funny.
Take "Nathan yahoo" out of power; not much will change until Palestine is decolonized against US and Europe's capitalist interests; i.e the basic material conditions for this conflict happening in the first place are addressed.
Correct, it serves to continue to destabilize the middle east to slow down opposition to western imperialism by not letting the region unite.
How is what Americans pretend to do relevant here?
Lmao, did you think I am American?
Ah sorry, were we talking about African elections?
When did I say you were?
Oh so you just went on some rant about Americans as a reply to me even though it's not relevant at all, gotcha
Yeah sorry I thought we were talking about American elections for a second there
I think they're suggesting that what regular Americans think doesn't actually affect the results of their "democracy" so it's not actually relevant. So ig they do agree with you
But you do get how it is clear to everyone that you thought you were talking to an American otherwise your reply makes no sense?
Unless you don't get it, in which case sorry for your affliction.
Which part of my reply made you think that? I don't remember saying "you Americans" or something
Maybe it's just an issue with your reading comprehension?
So thats even worse than, you just went back to doing a both sides argument, oof
Are you saying the two parties aren't on the same side? Lmao
Both are right wing parties supporting the ongoing genocide; one is just even more fascist than the other.
There is no "other side" leftist representation in the US; the country is built on slavery and capitalism after all. Even Bernie now supports the genocidal ethnostate.
no I am saying one is clearly worse... hence me mentioning "both sides argument"
mate...
You're part of the problem.
Which problem? But I highly doubt it
