Most cowardly old man award, god, it's hard to believe how much I advocated for his presidential candidacy with how much of a disappointment he's become, it's to the point I kinda wish covid or the heart attack gun got him, christ

Do you remember when he kept saying "We don't want a ceasefire. Hamas has to be dealt with. We need a humanitarian pause"?

What a fucking blowbag

y'all should've known he was a loyal servant to US Empire (which includes full support to Israel), during his first run, his suggestion for the Middle East was having the Saudis play a major role. When asked about his views on Hugo Chavez, he said he was just another dead Communist Dictator. Don't compare this spineless careerist to Corbyn, who has always supported Palestinian liberation and supported the Pink Tide, even at the cost of his political career.

Social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism.

People think this is a meme until they don't

That's how Maoist Standard English works too.

How it starts: "Lol, spelling/pronouncing it 'AmeriKKKa' is funny hyperbole.

How it ends up: "No that's just an accurate description of the USA"

More and more people are saying it.

yeah and it's really insidious because I think the natural response to a liberal hearing about it when capitalism is in crisis is like "aight, bet" so they end up halfheartedly supporting bandaid measures and never thinking to address how capitalism itself is an inherently exploitative machine that grinds people's lives for its fuel because they think if they just defeat the conservatives and get their bandaids it'll all get better

Opened my eyes, he’s not cowardly, he’s just a committed Zionist who wants the state of Israel to exist with a nice face

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

my wish casting is that time he got all bruised up they really scared the shit out of him and that turned him into a spineless worm but I know that that's probably less likely than he's just actually sympathetic to israel and a spineless worm

Something definitely happened to him between 2016 and 2021 or so. He became much more subservient to the Democrats and began echoing their narratives about "Russian Disinfo" that were once used to attack him, instead of talking about Healthcare/The 1%/Big Banks/Big Pharma/etc. He switched to a much more pro-Dem and pro-War footing, and sold out what was left of his principles. He basically got turned into a radlib instead of a socialist. Radlibs are dangerous for this reason, I think everyone knows what I'm talking about. The people who want to nuke Putler because he made America racist.

I met someone like that irl, an older woman who was lamenting the removedd state of the modern American left -- "I hate Putin because of what he's done to the American Left, turned them into mouthpieces for Russia and Iran. Back in my day we knew not to parrot the enemy's talking points!"

It’s a nice reminder that everyone has flaws and blind spots. Kill your heroes etc

i generally agree, but fighting tooth and nail to defend a genocidal apartheid state is a monumental flaw ngl

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago

Yeah it’s a huge indictment (and if he wasn’t already a gazillion years old) it alone disqualifies him from being seen as a torchbearer of the movement by ourselves or others.
