Maybe AOC doesn’t mind that Gaza getting flattened.

Maybe she reads settler the same way as Janet yellen reads Das kapital

Maybe she knows that Biden losing would only result in worse deviation for Gaza.

We’ve had the largest investment in renewable energy in our nations history, investment in infrastructure, a reduction in inflation, economic growth for the bottom 20%. His administration has protected access to contraceptives and abortion medications, expanded protections for trans people, and improved the immigration process.

If you think foreign policy was better under trump you’re delusional. Perfect is the enemy of good, we don’t need to love Biden to understand how keeping trump out of power protects millions of vulnerable people.

“You have no real choice in US but to vote for genocide”

yes, thank you for this searing critique of electoralism that everyone here is already aware of

The two aren’t equal. In our two party system, a vote for Biden is a vote against Trump. Sometimes the best option you have on a ballot is harm reduction, you can’t expect voting to fix everything. We need to organize outside electorialism, but voting is still an essential task in slowing down fascism.

Trump assassinated Soleimani and moved the embassy to Jerusalem; he’s said he’d reject humanitarian pauses and increase hostilities with Iran. I agree Biden should work to cut funding to Israel, but at least he’s been pushing for water access and electricity for Gaza, for medical care and humanitarian corridors; as bad as it is now, trump would make it staggeringly worse.

we’re not going to do a damn thing other than protect Israel in the process. Not a single thing.

  • Biden when asked if there would be any conditions on support for Isreal

Until one of you fucking liberals can explain to me what is worse than “unlimited unconditional support” you can stop trying to make this argument

The only difference is of a republican was president every elected Democrat would have a Palestinian flag in their profile, when it’s a Democrat you just get the president saying anybody who says they support Palestine is actually just a Trump supporter (literally in the last 24 hours)

This is already the worst devastation in the history of Gaza, not being able to criticize that means she’s a careerist hack that is just waiting for her marching orders. The new Pelosi

Didn’t you hear Trump’s going to nuke Gaza instead of doing what Biden is currently doing, which is bypassing Congress to give Israel weapons while openly calling every protestor a MAGA idiot

It would be the exact same, the democrats dont have a real political project thats why theres no serious pushback on anything real. Someone else telling them no and accepting that is the true metric of their political agenda not what they say can do.

Right, Trump would probably bypass Congress to send aid to Israel, continue to veto UN resolutions demanding a ceasefire, call peace protestors names, and actually be sued by advocacy groups openly accusing him of genocide.

Oh wait.

Your guy’s a fucking loser who should be strung up too.

There is a genocide going on in Gaza right now, tens of thousands of women and children have been killed by American made bombs that Biden has supplied to Israel by bypassing congressional approval. The Biden administration is complicit in genocide.

You do realize if we keep following this logic forever the DNC basically loses any incentive to improve at all, as long as they remain even slightly better than the GOP they will keep winning. So at what point do we say “enough is enough” and draw a line where we won’t support them even if the other option is worse? Does that line not exist? If it doesn’t does that mean we’re trapped in this cycle forever? What’s the long term plan here? Trump isn’t going to turn into dust if he loses this election, even if he did his supporters would just find a new cult leader, so are we are just eternally supporting awful liberals forever to keep the super awful republicans out of power?

This already happened before even the oldest of us were even voting age. The Vote Blue No Matter Who crowd is only accelerating the DNC rightward shift to unprecedented levels

If you do not like the current state of affairs, do something about it. Get help find and recruit candidates that represent you and perhaps run for office yourself. Local government is where it all starts.

The next Bernie Sanders does NOT magically pop up out of nowhere. The future generations need to step up and do so in a significant manor. Be that change you want yourself. Otherwise let the downward spiral happen and just live with your choice to not get involved personally.
