  • The United States is committing unspeakable acts of evil. The one who loads a gun in full knowledge that it will be used for murder is as guilty as the one who pulls the trigger. We loaded it, reloaded it, reloaded it, and reloaded it again. The blood of Gaza is on our hands, on Biden's hands, every bit as much as it is on Israel's. Aaron Bushnell knew that.

    And yes, everything you said of Israel is true. But it is equally true of the United States. I have family who supported cutting off all food, water, and medicine from Gaza after Oct 7. People on here insist that we must vote for Biden. This is no less psycopathic. It is banal evil.

    If Biden was carpet bombing Kansas and Trump was saying we need to do it harder, no one would argue that we must vote for Biden as the lesser of two evils. It would be crystal clear that if the only choice we have is either Trump or Biden, the whole system must be dismantled. We must pursue every avenue to end the carnage. But when Kansas is replaced with Gaza, genocide is merely an unpleasant pill to swallow.

  • Yes, a lone tear will roll down Lemmy's cheek as they pull the lever for Butcher Biden

  • Well you know, Trump would genocide them even harder, so we really should be grateful. Plus the US has strategic interests in protecting the only genocidal apartheid democracy in the Middle East, and by protect I mean help them genocide brown people. Anyways, after Iraq and Afghanistan, it's about time we score some wins against the Arabs

  • Yeah, he says that and then says you need to vote for Genocide Joe. Just a reminder that Bernie is a Zionist and waited until Dec. 13 to even call for a ceasefire. He's hot garbage, just like AOC who refuses to call the conflict a genocide.

  • So simple you need to use three different currencies

  • Israel needs protection to continue its apartheid. If it ceased its illegal occupation of Gaza and the West Bank and allowed Palestinians to return to their homes per international law, it wouldn't have nearly so many enemies.

  • No. My point is if you arbitrarily redefine free speech to exclude speech you don't like, free speech loses all meaning.

  • They've forced most of the population to Rafah on the southern border and are preparing an assault on the city while Egypt is preparing a walled camp just across the border to contain refugees. Sounds like they're well on track.

  • The second half of your comment shows you know the answer to the first half. Yes, it is that easy.

  • Sedition is not free speech. Defacing the flag is not free speech. Blasphemy is not free speech. Criticism of party officials is not free speech.

  • It's so easy, isn't it? Genocide: like rolling out of bed.

  • No matter how many mental gymnastics you do, you are still voting for genocide if you vote for Joe Biden.

  • It's not clear at all that a smaller number of votes are at risk. And the whole idea that whether Biden supports genocide should the result of a political calculus is abhorrent.

  • This isn't the trolley problem. We have other options. We could force Biden to step aside and have an open convention. If that doesn't happen, I'll vote for Cornel West or Jill Stein or Claudia De la Cruz.

  • You can't assume the 80% of people who voted for Biden would abandon him the minute he withdrew his support of genocide. They might as easily believe the fud I keep hearing here that an uncommitted vote is tantamount to a vote for Trump.

  • Oh yeah, I get all my news from random tweets

  • Free speech is not a left or right issue anymore. The left is anti-free-speech as often as the right is. The left is happy to silence speech it doesn't like when it's online or on campus. The right is happy to silence it when it's a library book or story time.

    I hope leftists wake up as they watch anti-Zionist speech get silenced by the mechanisms they used to use against the right. The answer to bad speech, whether hate speech or misinformation, is more speech.

    Edit: spelling

  • lol. The only thing the coalition behind Genocide Joe wants is not-Trump. Same as the last time he ran
