And you all told me the blue maga border bill that Republicans rejected was 4d chess.

    I’ve keep being put into a position where I have to further my consideration in voting for Biden.

    He’s the strongest the Democrats can muster, we can’t have any one else (but please don’t criticize him, he’s incredibly weak, a strong breeze will knock him over). Hes the best option we’ve got to stop a Palestinian genocice (oh except earlier today he vetoed a vote via the UN that could have stopped the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people). But we have to vote Biden because Trump would probably be worse (even though, you know, Biden is the one right now supporting the genocide. not hypothetical).

    If you think this delusional policy is defensible, right here right now, you are part of the problem.

    NO right wing voter is going to support Biden. PERIOD. NONE. You will ONLY get votes for Biden stepping to the left. Literally every Democratic victory in 60 fucking years have happened that way. But yeah, keep pursuing these genocidal right of Rumsfield positions, Democrats. I"m sure you’ll find that center once you have cripwalked past Cheny’s undead beating heart of evil.

    THe entire last decade of political progress made by progressives has been lost because of this idiot.

      This is fucking delusional. Democrats are not all further to the left than Biden - you’ll never get conservative votes, but you can sure as shit lose moderate Democrats. And the only leftists not voting Dem at this point, with ‘Day-One Dictator’ running, are people who run fucking purity tests and won’t be satisfied until Biden is waving a red flag. Which, while amusing, is not a realistic way to win an election in the current US.

        Listen, I will be voting for Biden, who is clearly worlds better than Trump. But the idea that Palestinian Americans who won’t vote for someone funding the ethnic cleansing of their own family members are “purity test” losers is…well, its a take.

          Yeah, no, if the opinion is that “This decades-long US policy of supporting a foreign country isn’t ending now, therefore, everyone in the US and in Palestine can get fucked, including me and all of my family members”, that’s not an opinion worth taking seriously.

          You can say it’s an understandable emotional reaction, but it sure as shit isn’t a reasonable one.

            What’s unreasonable is acting like not supporting the active genocide of your own people is unreasonable.

            Especially since you’re conflating genocide with apartheid.

            I have friends that have lost the ENTIRETY of their extended families, you sick fuck.

            Mother, father, sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts and uncles all murdered in a single fucking night.

            I’m pretty sure that you wouldn’t be capable of looking them in the eye and saying the same thing. Or, at least, not if you had any human decency.

            Edit: changed lost to murdered because they didn’t just mysteriously die.

              This frames voting for Biden as a white man’s burden to save Palestinians from their own emotions. Surely you see a problem here?

    “Biden considers vague unspecified action on a subject that over 70% of the American electorate considers a problem, clearly Both Sides are Just As Bad”

    Absolutely disgusting. I don’t know how I can vote for this despicable person again. Appalling. Democrats are supposedly the good party?

    Give me one reason to vote for this fascist that isn’t “he’s not Trump.”

    P.S. Willem van Spronsen was a hero, and I wish we all could follow his example.

    Fuck your imaginary border.

    Biden’s team somehow thinks that enacting republican policies are going to win him more democrat voters?

    Either that or Biden has been a republican this whole time and is enacting policy he openly supports.

    Leaning towards the second option, but man. Biden is going to lose the fuck out of this election.

    I don’t think there’s much he could do at this point to win my vote. He’s already doubled down on every issue I care about.

    And I’m definitely not alone. Fuck neoliberals.

    And fyi. I don’t fucking care if the other guy is worse. Please stop saying that shit over and over again.

      Biden thinks you will vote for him no matter what, and so is going to focus on winning over so-called “moderate Republicans”

      Watch him get even worse as the election gets closer.
