And he’s losing a LOT more votes from younger people for supporting the genocide of Palestinians without question.
Finding hundreds of billions of dollars without any question for more bombs that will kill more civilians, and yet never even raising a finger to fight for some of the these younger generations’ needs that were supposedly part of his agenda.
It’s not going to be pretty when Biden loses the election.
Young people don’t watch cnn msnbc fox etc… all of these networks never question the support of Palestinian genocide and unconditional support of israel.
The media young people watch question these things. Thank god
I can tell you don’t watch CNN or MSNBC because they totally are questioning things and are highly critical of Netanyahu, who is basically Israeli George W Bush. Young people can vote for who they want to vote for, but if they all toss their votes in the trash for a Russian plant like RFK Jr, I will be blaming them for the repercussions of a second Trump term as equally as I would blame his brainwashed cult.
The funny thing is that close to 2/3rds (more on many issues) of Americans actually support the policies that are on the far left (of American politics).
But because we have all been watching corporate media that is literally lying to us, we have been lead to believe that we don’t actually believe what we actually believe.
When you starting breaking down the policies and explain them in simple details, (should we all have healthcare), america is far left when it comes to policies we ALL support.
But ask a Republican if they like “Obamacare” and you will get a completely different answer. This is assuming we are not discussing policy minutiae within Obamacare just Obamacare in general…… and it is pretty much like this across the board….
America is FAR more leftist than the corporate oligarchy would have you believe.
But instead of burning down buildings because of police brutality, low wages, and lack of even the most basic social safety net……
We are arguing over whether rail workers should get one hour of sick time a year….
It’s fucking ludicrous.
And I know y’all don’t like it…. A vote for a Biden is a vote for more of the same corrupt politics, corporate PACS and corporate donations and the revolving door of senators being bribed for their votes and lining their own pockets.
Y’all are arguing about whether a facist will be our leader, but we already live under a corporate oligarchy…
It’s okay, many of them will learn when the fascists turn on empathetic people like them, people like their LGBTQIA+ friends, and an ever more purity-shifting test stupider than a swatch of paint held to their faces.
Because people (maybe some like you?) don’t explain nuance and responsibility to them, just throw blame around and make noises about where all of the fault lays (it’s never also on your–metaphorical you, I hope–laps is it?) and why this agenda is better and would not lead to this or that.
You don’t need to address me if you prefer of course. I don’t actually foresee any useful dialogue here so just yelling at two-faced clouds.
These arguments about lesser of two evils, oh it’s not Biden’s fault he couldn’t do anything, oh (the Republican candidate) is going to bring facism.
People are tired of the same tired rhetoric. They don’t care. They aren’t going to just fall in line because you are shouting at them vote blue no matter who.
And a lot of career politicians don’t understand that the old way of doing things isn’t going to work anymore. It’s a slow change and yea hopefully we can claw back democracy from the corporate oligarchy, but I personally don’t have much faith. I probably will not vote for Biden but I do live in a pretty solid blue state in an extremely blue county, so i can leave President option blank without much recourse.
Sounds about right. I expect very little of the far left anarchists and they still somehow disappoint. Have fun torching your own communities after you willingly enable Trump back in power
They quite literally don’t exist in the United States. Fox addled brain rot right wing media consumers are told that someone like Obama was a communist… Hell someone as “progressive” as AOC isn’t even radical and yet the right will tell you she’s a female Mao.
We get milquetoast centrists masquerading as being on the left, while the right gets to have their actual racist Nazi leaders… No wonder they question why we aren’t as hyped for Biden as they are for Mango Mussolini…
Because not many Americans want that? I don’t know how many times it has to be demonstrated. You won’t settle for a moderate candidate like Biden who will slowly push the country away from how unbelievably far right it’s gotten. You want to flip the system upside down and that’s not viable right now. Move the needle slowly but surely, or try to change everything and continue to fail.
Not many Americans want that because we’ve had decades of propaganda telling us how radical the left is already and scaring everyone to move to the right. That’s why the right has gone so far right and we get pulled to the middle more and more so we can calm the scared people of spooky spooky socialist policies… If we continue we’re literally never going to have actual leftists in government. As it is the entire world sees our political system as 2 conservative parties fighting for control.
And I totally agree with you but I don’t think the Democrat Party is all conservatives. Some are, for sure. But not all of them are Brandon Presley and Joe Manchin. It’s a liberal party, which aligns with the conservatives on several things but vastly differs on much more.
Liberalism in America has been hijacked by white collar criminals ever since Reagan fucked the country up. I agree that we need more socialism in America, but I don’t see how we’re gonna leap directly to it. What we can do is form a coalition to continue defeating the conservatives so we at least aren’t on track for extinction because of climate change. And before you say “Biden’s America is producing more domestic oil than any administration before” I would remind that if he didn’t, he would absolutely lose the upcoming election. When half the country is as conservative as it is, we’re not gonna see the change we want by electing a President who will have limited support in Congress. Getting people like Biden who at least pull the needle closer towards the middle is how it happens.
And then, maybe after a decade or so more Americans will realize they’ve been lied to by Gingrich, Trump, Rove, Bush, McConnell, and all the others who have set this country so far back.
Just my opinion. I don’t know if America can get to where you want it to be in our lifetime after 4 more years of Trump.
I pretty much agree with all of that minus the optimism lol
If Republicans haven’t learned over the past 30+ years that they’ve been lied to again and again I don’t see it happening any time soon as we have propaganda outlets designed to “keep the voters in line.” They’re really our biggest problem, everything we can’t solve is because propagandists pit us against each other and mislead everyone.
Biden isn’t pushing the country away from being far-right, he just isn’t nose-diving into it. The US needs radical change. Everything you’ve said is just buzzword nonsense.
I don’t give a fuck about the average crayon eating over-medicated american retard. Half the country thinks climate change is a joke and Raptor Jesus will save us.
Alright well unfortunately those people vote, so we can say we don’t care, but we can’t say that reality doesn’t affect the current situation we’re in politically. You can absolutely change their minds. So why not start with people like Andy Beshear who has already started doing this instead of someone who is too extreme for them and will only alienate more people?
I think it’s around the time israel murdered the hostages in cold blood that the likes of MSNBC was like “Wait a minute… maybe israel isn’t telling the truth when they say everyone killed is a Hamas soldier?”
Yup, thousands of murdered brown children were fine for MSNBC, but three young Jews getting murdered while trying to surrender to their own military is where the moral outrage starts. It’s pathetically transparent why they suddenly saw this as problematic.
How is he a Russian plant? He’s related to one of the most influential political dynasties in America. During the Obama years he was the left’s sweetheart when he was championing for the environment. Even going so far as calling for Exxon Mobil and Koch Industries to be put to ‘corporate death’.
Biden and Trump love Exxon and sucking Koch. Maybe you should blame yourself for trusting soundbites.
He doesn’t support genocide. There has to be a military reaction to the Hamas terrorist attack. The big issue is Netanyahu who doesn’t care who dies as long as Hamas is defeated. Biden’s team is critical of the civilian toll but they’re not going to force Israel at gunpoint to not go after the terrorists that raped and maimed over a thousand Jews on October 7th.
So why are they forcing at gunpoint Palestinians not to go after the terrorists who so far after October 7th killed 3k childrens?
The us government and whoever is in charge for it support both genocide and Hamas as they are using it as a warrant for israel to expand their borders. Do you really believe they are unaware of the fact that indiscriminate bombing of gaza will bread even more terrorist? They are bombing thousand of childrens, they don’t care about their own either, politicians and billionares do not fight their wars and neither care about anyone below them.
It was EXTREMELY cynical and transparent when the announcement of baby steps towards marijuana legalization came RIGHT as the latest polling showed a nose dive among youth support.
Because he/the DNC clearly had the power and clout to unilaterally make that move months or years ago, but didn’t feel the need to. Having the press release drop at 4:20 eastern was such a cringe ‘fellow kids’ moment designed to distract from the ongoing injustice that keeping it schedule I for decades has done to society.
I live in Georgia and I remember how they promised if we got both our Senate seats to turn blue they would have majority and weed would be legalized along with a third stimulus check. We beat the odds and Warnock won the special election. All of a sudden it was like an wave of amnesia and helplessness hit.
I’ve been waiting for them to play the legalization card again
Their interns spent a lot of time harassing people on Twitter for reminding them about the stimulus check promise. They were quick to revise the history of and gaslight you by doing some weird used car salesman math
Hope the young people will enjoy having Trump as their dictator. Maybe they’ll be just dumb enough to not notice him doing anything differently on the subject.
I’ve spent my whole voting life watching things only get shittier and shittier voting for the lesser evil. I stand by my claim that we deserve to collapse as a nation at this point.
You’ll tell me thats a crap attitude, and it is. But I will tell you that no matter how you vote, the tipping point where it breaks into unsalvageable violence is getting closer and you better be ready for it. History shows us it always ends in violence when an empire hits this stage.
Some people out there see him as the anti-war candidate since he didn’t start any new wars in his first term. The bar is so pathetically low on candidates and warmongering
Tell me you’re in your teens or early 20s without actually saying it.
Begging for the beneficence of someone who has spent the last 6 decades pissing on us and being happy it’s not worse is pathetic.
Don’t worry. I’ll “vote blue” like a good boy. But we rot as a country either way. It changes nothing except how long before the tipping point.
That’s not to say we can’t save our communities. Look inward. Local mutual aid and organization is going to mean more than ever. Just don’t expect help from the corporate parties.
And I’ve lived long enough to know that we live within the grey area that exists between the polarized black and white everyone wants to see nowadays. I’ve also lived long enough to learn there’s nuance to EVERYTHING. And stubbornly crying about how an elected official’s stance on policies abroad is wrong- while ignoring the bigger picture at home- is a potentially catastrophic and downright dangerously ignorant line of thinking.
But you do you.
Were can be done with this discussion now. The fact that you’ve made knee-jerk assumptions without knowing a single thing about me speaks volumes on how much of a waste of time this discussion has been, and will be.
There really isn’t much nuance or gray area when it comes to genocide.
The United States’ Biden Administration is currently funding and supporting a genocide in Gaza. That is unforgivable.
Trump would be even worse than Biden. But there are enough people in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona who are going to be turned off by this (and by inflation, etc) that it won’t matter.
The Democratic Party is fully to blame for this result, no American voter is culpable for what happens in November.
The 2024 election should be a slam dunk for any Non-Republican Party. The Democrats’ political incompetence is solely to blame for any loss - and that incompetence is reaching a point where it is hard to believe that they are accidentally this stupid. All of this is going to support the “Monoparty” and other conspiracy theories, which are looking less and less like mere theories
But a candidate can lose many votes over one issue. And Biden willingly supporting the genocide of the Palestinian is bad enough to cost him the election. We have already proved as voters that we’ll let trump win. It can happen again.
Okay. So, both support the genocide, but one will remove body autonomy from women, remove lgbtq+ rights, gut funding to education, and run the government like a dictatorship with the military threatening civilians.
If Biden loses for the stupid shit he does then good. Maybe democrats should stop trying to straddle the middle and fucking things up by not listening to their base. I dont think our country will be destroyed by him losing, even if it ends up being another four years of trump. Yeah it’ll suck, but things can get better and showing their voters they wont stand behind him just because he has a capital D next to his name might be an eye opener. Or at least it should be.
I feel like, for many, the choice isn’t voting for Trump if they’re disillusioned with Biden, but just not voting for Biden. I’m aware the result of inaction is likely the same as voting for Trump, but cognitively it’s easier to stomach.
Did you forget Trumps handling of Israel? He would support the genocide even more. THEY NAMED A SETTLEMENT AFTER TRUMP. If you still think he will be better for palestinians than Biden you are crazy
I know they have to make calculated decisions like this, but isn’t this kind of thing why Hillary lost, because she basically didn’t campaign at all in a few states because she assumed her support would stick with her because she deserved it and trump only had degenerate supporters
I think you’re making this more complicated than it is. You’re trying to view America’s position as a domestic issue when it’s an international one, and it’s the international nature of the issue that explains America’s position.
Although there is growing pressure and agreement that is real has gone too far, there is no appetite for suspending support for Israel.
The facts are:
There is no region of the world more essential to global security for the next 100 years than the Middle East;
Israel, though classified as a “flawed democracy” same as the US, is the only democracy in the region;
Hamas and Iran have a shared intention and goal to destroy Israel;
Israel is nuclear armed and will obviously not surrender to Tehran;
US support, specifically air and missile defense, is the thing that prevents Iran from invading Israel;
Open war between Iran and Israel will kill millions more people than there are in all of Palestine;
There is no appetite in Washington for another failed state in the middle east.
That’s my two cents. The enemy here as usual is nationalism. Nationalists pervert everything, including democracy. Whether it’s the nationalists in charge of Israel or the ones in charge of Iran.
Just wait until instead of merely keeping Trump’s draconian border policies, Biden goes even further than Trump in order to secure funding for more bombs to slaughter Palestinians.
And he’s losing a LOT more votes from younger people for supporting the genocide of Palestinians without question.
Finding hundreds of billions of dollars without any question for more bombs that will kill more civilians, and yet never even raising a finger to fight for some of the these younger generations’ needs that were supposedly part of his agenda.

Be complicit in genocide or you’ll end up complicit in genocide. We deserve to fail as a nation if those are our choices.
Trust me. One is WAY worse than the other. I hope you can learn the truth of this before you make a big mistake.

Lesser Evil, Greater Evil, all still evil.

Decide.
Maybe Biden should decide NOT to do some shitty things thatll cost him votes. It works both ways.
It only works both ways for people too stubbornly stupid to understand that they’re NOT the same thing.
If Biden loses for the stupid shit he does then good. Maybe democrats should stop trying to straddle the middle and fucking things up by not listening to their base.

Florida is a red state. It’s Trump’s home state, It’s a winner-take-all state. Biden won’t be getting any electors from Florida.
If this is indeed the strategy, it’s sheer foolishness. He’s taking a hit nationwide just to shore up votes in a state he won’t win.
I hope we’re not running to win the popular vote and lose the election. Again.
An anti-Semitism scandal also wrecked Labour in the last UK election.
I think you’re making this more complicated than it is. You’re trying to view America’s position as a domestic issue when it’s an international one, and it’s the international nature of the issue that explains America’s position.

No. I’m suggesting that nobody in Washington really has any intention of doing anything differently with regard to Israel.
