one issue

WHAT IS THE ISSUE big-honk WHAT IS THE ISSUE

[-] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 53 points 3 months ago

This is the kind of comment that makes me love federated media more than ever. So glad reddit died so this could happen

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 124 points 3 months ago

One issue

No i disagree on a lot more than one issue. Covid, climate, surveillance, taxes, fracking, how to handle infrastructure, civil rights, war, funding for Nazis and a lot more. Palestine is just the dealbreaker.

Pretty telling that they think there's just one teeeny tiny thing he's wrong on (genocide)

[-] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 63 points 3 months ago

What are you antisemite? Are you a trump supporter? How dare you not vote for a tiny bit o genocide with a side order of massive police funding increase with it's inevitable brutality and anyway he said 'nothing would fundamentally change' so what did you expect healthcare or student debt relief? Get real. It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the trump again

"TRUMP WILL MAKE AMERICA A FASCIST POLICE STATE"

And how Biden doesn’t actually support unions (the railroad workers).

  • Disagrees on one issue
  • Police brutality against protesters on that one issue
  • Calls the protesters anti-Semitic
  • Bans a whole social media platform for that one issue
[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Drags the rest of the world into a war for that one issue.

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 84 points 3 months ago

Keep belittling my position, that'll win me over.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 74 points 3 months ago

Keep belittling my principled and consistent opposition to the systematic extermination of entire ethnic, religious, or cultural groups, widely regarded as the ultimate crime greater than any other conceivable crime.

Fucking liberals.

That "one issue disagreement" is concealing a fucking genocide. How can people post this, and genuinely think that bombing Gaza to dust is just an UwU Smol Bean disagreement?!

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 50 points 3 months ago

This is literally when republicans are like "they banned me for my conservative beliefs"

Very telling they're not saying what that "one disagreement" is

Also it's not one disagreement it's like the 4th or 5th it's just the one that stopped most people from even entertaining liberals bullshit excuses.

He's also still a strike breaker who's got us drilling more oil than anybody anywhere ever and I still haven't forgot that he proposed ending the entire asylum system like 4 weeks ago in order to appease republicans tonget them to send the other multi billion dollar aid package to famously corrupt neo nazis.

Genocide is an "issue" that we "disagree" on.

No gulag for you, liberal.

[-] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 62 points 3 months ago

Like it's somehow the citizens fault that slaveholders wrote a constitution where they presidential election is a shitshow, even by Western standards.

[-] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 34 points 3 months ago

Gerrymandering, voter suppression, media manipulation, primary rigging and finally the electoral collage safety valve. Oh and the two same parties that'd ruled for 200 years are practically identical. But hey, at least you can choose what color the orphan crushing machine will be painted these four years.

Remember to vote

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 59 points 3 months ago

Sorry genocide supporters, I’m still not voting for your decrepit old fuck

Honestly, libs must love the genocide. It gives them cover for all the other ways Biden is garbage too. They get to pretend it's just that one issue (which mustn't be named because genocide sounds bad), and they align with the left on everything else. Grossly inadequate action on climate change all but certainly dooming millions to death by climate disaster, white supremest border policies and foreign policy more broadly, failure to increase the minimum wage, failure to control cost of living, failure to protect reproductive rights, failure to protect LGBTQ+ rights, massive infrastructure failures like train derailments and Boeing and bridges, funding a corrupt military industrial complex grift in Ukraine, stoking a world war with China while simultaneously denying us affordable electric vehicles, robustly funding the police while discrediting and neutering BLM movement and then siccing their paid piggies on us first chance they get, expansion of domestic surveillance, failure to meaningfully address the rise of mask off fascism in America, healthcare please, no college debt relief, the list goes on and on.

But no, they just have to pretend we're all holdouts and unreasonable for caring about one issue. It's the only one they can't rationalize away because genocide is truly a bridge too far, so they retreat behind rhetoric and flatten the magnitude of that issue by pretending it somehow has to be considered in the larger picture while simultaneously refusing to give the larger picture any kind of sober analysis. These people are truly the smoothest of brains.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 42 points 3 months ago

Honestly, libs must love the genocide.

Of course they do, and it doesn't matter the flavour of liberal (conservatives/fascists) you talk to, it's like they're cruel for cruelty's sake. They believe that their imperialist genocides are unquestionably justified, and they'll be smug while they do it too.

The one issue is:

  • Genocide in Palestine
  • Refusal to do anything about abortion
  • Refusal to do anything about healthcare
  • Refusal to do anything about housing
  • Refusal to do anything about transportation/infrastructure
  • Doing 25% of what they promised about climate change (which is already 25% of what should be done).
  • Enabling fascism everywhere
  • Being hostile to China for no reason
  • Stopping all Covid protections months early
  • Rampant "inflation"
  • Social Security implodes in <10 years
  • Losing to the Republicans
  • Not punishing nerds like Fetterman and whats her name for not following the party line

Just that one. And that's ignoring the continued general Capitalist genocide, allowing companies to rule us, the rotting education system, collapsing meaningful tech progress (Remember the Space Race?), and the general inability to govern without resorting to marshal law.

[-] Greenleaf@hexbear.net 49 points 3 months ago

I am in my early 40s. The genocide of Gaza is probably the most evil thing the US has been directly involved in in my lifetime. One thing my ass.

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 54 points 3 months ago

Just to be clear, as somebody in the same general age cohort: that's a pretty high fucking bar. See: Lebanon, Panama, Iraq, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Afghanistan, Iraq 2: Daddy Issues Boogaloo, Yemen, I'm missing somewhere in the ballpark of a hundred (not an exaggeration) evil things America has done in my lifetime. Some shit in Sierra Leone? Definitely some fucking around in Iran. The evil shit piles up so high it's hard to keep track.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 47 points 3 months ago

Nobody against the genocide is gonna vote Trump you dumb dicks. They're just not gonna vote. And you goaded and prodded progressives to vote for Biden last time because we could "move him left" which has occurred zero times (everything "good" Biden has done has been bog standard Democrat stuff you'd expect them to do anyway) and the one issue, the key issue where people are trying to move him "left" is to stop arming a fucking genocide. A genocide! If I'm in the car while my friend does a drive by I go to fucking jail too. Fuckers. Smug liberal fuckers.

According to them, I'm an antisemite, so why would I vote for pro Israel Joe?

Do liberals have even one non-contradictory stance?

"wins if you don't choose"

oh yeah? i'm in a heavily blue state, meaning my vote literally does not matter unless god's voice booms down from heaven telling democrats to stay home. that's thanks to the electoral college. you know, the outdated institution that Joe Biden went on record saying he was against abolishing?

[-] thoro@lemmy.ml 31 points 3 months ago

And it's the same for heavily red states. It literally doesn't matter unless you live in Florida, Ohio, or one of the other handful of swing states, but they love to act like we're the problem for why they can't motivate people to support their shit candidates

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 43 points 3 months ago

(The one issue is genocide. Also there is more than one issue)

[-] BynarsAreOk@hexbear.net 42 points 3 months ago

So they take support for Ukraine as a given, so why is it ok to give unconditional support for Ukraine but not unconditional support for Palestine? Even a completely naive person should spot the hypocrisy here.

[-] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 40 points 3 months ago

Didn't biden have the ability to just not resume student loan payments but then just did it anyway, same as when he hit the COVID OVER button and fucked up people's food stamps and federal assistance

[-] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 30 points 3 months ago

Because now I have like another idk 400 ffucking reasons per month to hate fucking Biden. I'm just ignoring my loans until they garnish my wages i guess idfk

Biden: disagree on one issue

WHAT ISSUE IS THAT, LIBERAL?! FUCKING AQUAMAN?! just-one-small-problem

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago

These people agree with Biden 100%.

Including the "one issue" but they're not stupid enough to say they support genocide.

[-] SexMachineStalin@hexbear.net 34 points 3 months ago

After 7 months, some anti-cracker-aktion from Johannesburg no less, probably Sandton, finally asked me if I condemn Hamas and recognize the legitimacy of Isnotreal, lmao.

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 34 points 3 months ago

lmao yeah that snide weaselly racist horseshit is definitely gonna convince people to vote for Biden, libs are fuckin cooked and they know it

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 34 points 3 months ago

It’s just “one issue” bro…

the issue: exterminating a whole race of indigenous people, auctioning off their land before the job is even done. irony completely lost on the perpetrators.

[-] Ericthescruffy@hexbear.net 33 points 3 months ago

I wonder if this is the same type of person who has said and believed: "Adolf Hitler would have been remembered as a great man if it weren't for the Holocaust."

Uggh. They go on about MAGA, but in my eyes, at least you know that Trump'SS a SStupid KKKunt , I mean what the fuck do they mean by "one issue?!?!?!?!?!?!" That "one issue" is Palestine, failure to protect queer and trans lives, failure to protect abortion for women and people who can get pregnant, funding UKKKrainian naziSS, more border KKKontrol, more KKKopSS being funded, more KKKop citieSS, and don't even get me started on the allegations of Biden (how #metoo covered him up, that fucks me off.)

In other words, there is two predator dictators running for the PreSSident of AmeriKKKa, but good ole' liberalSS only care that there is one predator dictator and not both. Truly, they are hypocrites, and I'll say what I mostly say:

Death to AmeriKKKa, death to ISSn'trael, cursed be to the liberalSS, and victory to communism. amerikkkaisntraelfucking liberalscommunism-will-win
