Under the caption about something the House did...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

If you're gonna be such a pedantic shitlib, should I edit the caption to be something from this article Linkerbaan mentioned? Since it's about this incident specifically.

Biden denounces ICC for ‘outrageous’ implication of equivalence between Israel and Hamas

The Biden administration on Monday forcefully denounced efforts by the International Criminal Court to seek arrest warrants for top Israeli officials and Hamas leaders, saying the court’s efforts put the terrorist organization and a top US ally on equivalent footing.

Why go out of your way so much to try defending a fascist? Why do you have an image saved to defend this piece of shit?

I'd be Ok with changing that caption, don't blame Biden for the stupid shit the House is doing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Linkerbaan's article isn't on this bill. Articles on this bill say he doesn't support it https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm5512l7yero

Again denouncing and sanctioning have differences. He wags his finger, but he is against punching them down.

Being pedantic and defending fascists is also very hot right now among shitlibs apparently

Replace the caption with any of the other shit biden specifically has done that they mentioned if you're this much of a redditor

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm all for blaming Biden for things he did.

Sanctioning the ICC is not one of them and was done by his opposition.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Dems and reps are equally part of the ruling class. There is no real "opposition" between the two aside from optics.

And as you'd expect, Biden does of course agree with this move like another user mentioned.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

75% of Democrats voted against this

100% of Republicans voted for

Dumbfucks: bOTh siDes!

Biden does not agree with this move. Denouncing is using words and sanctions are actions. Biden has implied that he opposes this bill and his administration have stated that they do not support sanctions. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm5512l7yero

There absolutely is opposition between the sides.

The right wants to take away womens rights.

The left wants to take away gun rights.

Just as a quick example.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

? Of course there is opposition between the left and the right. What does that have to do with two right wing genocidal capitalist parties?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

They are not both right wing.

Examples:

Left:

Student loan forgiveness.

Right:

Blocking student loan forgiveness.

Alternately:

Right:

Capital Punishment

Left:

Blocking Capital Punishment

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Is it also "left wing" to bypass congress to send weapons to a genocidal state faster? Or denounce the ICC for actions against that state like in the post you're commenting on?

Studen loan

Education Dept. announces highest federal student loan interest rate in more than a decade

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

And the student loan interest rate has fuck all to do with the plans on the left to forgive student loans, plans which are continually blocked on the right.

You can't take a single issue and go "BoTh sIdEs aRe tHe sAmE" when they clearly are not.

The right wants to invade Mexico for gods sake!
