Lol. This is the party they want to replace 'genocide joe' with. Well done, kids!

I'm gonna vote for Biden if I have to rise from the dead and crawl through broken glass to do so, and I hope everyone reading this thread does.

I'm not willing to pretend he's not facilitating an ongoing genocide though.

These are the people that are going to be ruling America soon.

These are the people who have been ruling America for a long time.

And it will be the end of popular elections, period. Congratulations, assholes, you got your dictatorship to own the cucks.

FYI: Most of those braindead “am I not allowed to criticize Biden???” comments and posts on social media are a concerted effort by right-wingers from /pol and other such sewers, trying to get people to not vote against Trump. Don’t fall for it. These aren’t “lefties” or “tankies”. Just downvote, report, and ignore.

Maybe they're involved, but a much bigger player pushing that line of reasoning is the Kremlin. They want to get Trump elected again so he cuts aid to Ukraine.

And work to undermine NATO.

Plus, there's 4 years of new Top Secret info for Trump to turn over to Putin.

Lemmy is fucking FULL of them. Every other post is some Israel / Genocide Joe bullshit.

If you didn't know any better you'd think Joe is literally flying a bomber over Gaza right now.

It's getting tiresome even down voting this crap.

Why would you think it's a good political move to sign a bomb in such a controversial conflict. It boggles my mind who suggested that as a good idea.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 5 months ago (17 children)

The conflict is only controversial to one party.

To some of these people there’s no such thing as bad media coverage.

How can they say they love Israel but also say Jews run everything and be generally negative towards Jews here?

"Doublethink is a process of indoctrination in which subjects are expected to simultaneously accept two conflicting beliefs as truth, often at odds with their own memory or sense of reality. Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy."

Edited to add:

It's a common tactic with fascist regimes. Nazis used to do it with Jewish propaganda by simultaneously claiming that Jews were weak vermin that needed to be exterminated and that they are this supervillain that controls all the money.

You currently see it a lot with the people chanting "Genocide Joe" and claiming he is some mastermind warhawk with at the same time claiming that he is some feeble, senile old man. He's Schrödinger's politician!

Why WHY would Joe Biden sign off on providing Nikki Haley with PERMANENT MARKERS!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (2 children)

An incredible oversight. How can he recover from this?

See, that's why I can't vote for Biden. /s

Typical republican filth.

Hey Nikki, why don't you use your birth name - Nimarata Nikki Randhawa?🤔

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (13 children)

That isn't, in my opinion, something to criticize her for.

If we are going to respect people's names and pronouns, that needs to apply to Republicans too, even if you suspect they changed their name for political reasons.

Caitlyn Jenner is an absolute piece of shit who killed someone, but I'm not going to call her Bruce because of it.

How hard can it be to not act on your weird chauvinsitic impulses in public as a politician?

Not oniony -- just normal Nikki Haley things, by this point.

What a callous human being. I'm sickened by her actions.
