Your choices are Biden or Trump, both will support Israel. Choose
"Erm akshually you have to vote for genocide"
How about you vote for your favorite brick in this here wall, Good German.
Reader, I address you because this person is a lost cause. If your government and media apparatus tries to compel you to go along with a genocide, and explicitly or implicitly tells you you have no choice, you have a moral and practical duty as a member of the human race to tear it down and impede it at every turn. We all ultimately have to live with ourselves, never let someone chide you into carving up your soul.
Besides, what you let them do over there today will be done to you over here tomorrow.
Already got ours passports and flights booked.
We'll vote w/ somebody that agrees w/ our beliefs about what is "right" and hope the libs have a change of heart eventually...
Absolutely 0 faith in that happening though, so gunna wait out the fallout from outside of this clusterfuck ;)
Leaving is also a cool and good response which weakens the state and I'm glad you guys are getting to safety
Hmm fascism, fascism, or a real choice. Tough choice.
Sure if you want to run from your problems go for it. If you want to actually live long enough to try and fix the country and oust imperialists, there's only one option.
If you genuinely believe in "only one option," then you don't live in a democracy mate. I'm voting for the correct choice and you can do whatever you want.
I never said we live in a functioning democracy lol
Not a binary system mate.
Get with the program or revisit 2016, your choice.
Quite objectively is, change the system. Can't do that under fascism 乁[ ◕ ᴥ ◕ ]ㄏ
Fascism has been here since the beginning, since before we called it fascism, it was just applied unevenly along class and racial lines. Our fascist party and our "democratic" party will always stop their kayfabe bickering and fall into lockstep when it comes to supporting imperialism and genocide abroad, and crushing the working class here at home. The pool of donors that "both" parties share are all following the same profit motives.
My sibling in christ, your "non-fascists" are doing a genocide right now.
Ok and your option is prevent another from starting here and trying to fix the system to get rid of these assholes or let the people who want to start another genocide right here who still support Israel's active one
Not a binary choice mate.
Show me a candidate that has any chance of winning outside of the two party system then
Lol China and Russia are not the communist safe havens you think they are. They're just as bad as the US. Absolutely delusional
Hmm? Doesn't really make sense in context.
My favorite part about arguing with 'true communists' who venerate Russia and China is that they don't even read the propaganda they spread before sending it.
You're putting an entire argument in my mouth without me even saying it. Tf are you smoking mate?
This is the next stage of liberal cope. Nobody but you guys thinks Russia is communist, and China is just undeniably, measurably better than the US in pretty much every way.
Ah yeah because what we need right now is millions of deaths in a civil war that will ultimately achieve nothing and will probably result in even worse fascists taking power.
Millions are already dying, with billions more slated to follow them. Imperial war, mass poverty, covid eugenics, nuclear brinksmanship, economically engineered famines like we did to Afghanistan, climate collapse and (I cannot stress this enough) the current ongoing genocide have already far outstripped your "millions will die" hysterical excuse for inaction. We live in a country where snake-handling evangelical psychos and childwife-collecting Mormon cultists control most of the nuclear arsenal at the highest reaches of military command. Out government literally doesn't know how to exist without cannibalizing other countries through war, and foments it at every turn. People are starving to death in tents on the streets and being dissapeared into police blacksites. You can either recognize that fascism is already here and try to stop it, or wring your hands and make excuses for why we have support the right fascists, like a German liberal in the 1930s would.
Your mindset is servile and blinkered and I will not be supporting your genocide.
Alright then, move to China or Russia like the rest of your communist cosplay friends and let the rest of us try and fix the country without causing another genocide or civil war.
Is this a rage bait account? Tf are you even saying at this point lmao.
They're already doing another one here too. Our concentration camps are packed full of kids and asylum seekers, imprisoned in squalid conditions where disease and sexual abuse from border patrol freaks is rampant. Do you know how Anne Frank died? It wasn't in a gas chamber. It was from Typhus, from the horrible unsanitary camp. Many asylum seekers and their childern have already died of diesease in these hellholes. We are currently creating countless Anne Franks, but you libs stopped giving a shit as soon as blue fascist got elected. Even when they started tear gassing them and forcibly cutting out their wombs, blue maga zombies still found excuses. You will always find excuses not to act, and your final excuse will be "I was simply following orders."
Both of those happened under trump, letting him win will make it worse that is guaranteed.
YOU are the one letting Trump win btw. Let that sink in you doomer.
