Citizens of the US are really screwed, with a pseudo-democracy where they can only choose between conservatives or fascists, apart from practically half of the population who show that Descartes was wrong, because they exist but they don't think.
The US has never been a country that's good or fair. It's only very slowly gotten a little better through the sweat and blood of good people.
If we want it to get better it's going to be a lot of difficult and painstaking work.
show that Descartes was wrong, because they exist but they don’t think.
"A therefore B" doesn't imply "B therefore A"
Biden sucks... but vote for him. I mean the two party system sucks, first passed the post sucks, gerrymandering sucks... but the republican party sucks even more. I'd rather have a dottering old liberal than an outright fascist, and at the same time the system won't be reformed because of an election cycle. People need to organise, get off their lazy butts. But since you ain't doing that, there's only one thing to do.
Vote Biden. Don't be dumb. It's like the only sane alternative, no matter how insane that sounds.
You know, when Biden took office the capitol building had literally just been attacked by a violent mob who smeared shit on the walls. And we were still in covid-lockdowns, and gas was $4 a gallon, and Ukraine had just started getting attacked.
Idk why Biden gets so much shit, but given where he started, I think we are doing a damn fine job and our inflation numbers are much better than most of the rest of the world.
If inflation is our metric, then Democrats have been in agreement with Republicans ever since the Nixon Shock.
People of Gaza are so lucky that it's the lesser of the two evils facilitating their genocide.
Yes, I honestly dread to think what Trump would have done.
Lessor of two evils sucks balls, but you can still minimise the damage at least.
Trump would've done the exact same thing. You're not minimizing any damage your regime is facilitating a literal genocide. The fact that you're keep trying to minimize this fact because it's your fascist in office shows how utterly morally bankrupt you are.
Do you think that's any comfort to the Palestinians Biden is helping to genocide?
What's that? Somebody thinks that a different president is going to stop the drones and bombings!? Like they're not tied up in deals?! Like if a third party candidate won the process would just magically stop?!?!
Bush made the bombs drop, Obama made the bombs drop, Trump made the bombs drop, Biden made the bombs drop... wtf do you think the next president will do? The CIA tells them what's what and that's it.
Vote Biden, or get a republican president. Your call.
Counterargument: If the democrats don't want to lose they should stop funding mass genocide.
How can anyone think that Trump wouldn't support it. If anything, he would call the IDF a bunch of pussies for not bombing Gaza even harder.
That's not the point. People aren't saying that they'd rather have Trump in charge. The point is things will never get better if everyone keeps unquestioningly giving their votes to the Democrats regardless of how little the democrats represent their interests. The only real way most people have of making a political party change is by withholding their votes until that party changes in order to regain the votes.
Trump would denounce Israel, even as a lie, to win the White House.
Your options:
I mean, that's a weird-ass AI prompt. But if fascism wins and you voted third party, yes - it's partly* your fault unless you're too stupid to understand how first past the post voting works.
*conditionals against massive fascist party majority states notwithstanding.
Fixed
two things to consider
voting harder wont actually stop fascism, the nazis took power with 30% of the vote
not everyone gets a vote, myself included (not a citizen)
Eh, 30% in a parliamentary system is effectively the majority.
Why would we continue doing the exact same thing that has been time and time again proven to be a cheap bandaid that never addresses the issues? Fuck that. We have to try different ways of making progress in this country or we’re fucked. We’re not really a democratic country anyway. None of our representatives actually fight and do what we ask of them. So why fall for it again?
Bbbut we just need to buy time for [insert other thing that hasn't been working]!
This is so good, did you make it?
I used Dall-E to generate the individual elements and put them together in Paint.NET. AI couldn't understand the prompts I was using well enough to generate what I wanted.
Lol cool. It reminds me of 2016 when I checked the Republican party website and on the Donate page the background was a picture of Trump. Then I checked the Democratic party website and on the Donate page the background was a picture of Trump but with a scary red hue.
So, here's a thought.
Instead of complaining, get active at a local level. Start doing shit, instead of complaining that other people should do shit. Be a local activist. Run for office. Work in person to persuade people. Get backing. Shake hands, kiss babies, meet people. And then? Vote for the best choices that you have.
If you want shit to change, you can't complain on-line, you have to get off your ass and do something.
Tried that, all I got for my trouble was a total disillusionment with the American voting public.
Americans, generally, do not care, and I can't convince them that they should.
So, what EXACTLY do you think is my purpose in creating propaganda like this post?
And why do you assume I am not doing more?
Is it projection?
