    I think a lot of people are neglecting to think of Biden’s lifetime record in public office. The United States is the nation on Earth with the greatest proportion of its own citizens imprisoned and we have Biden’s 1994 crime bill in large part to thank for that. Unfortunately it wasn’t terribly shocking when he went on to be more supportive of the Palestinian genocide than any other president in US history other than Trump.

      They’re not neglecting it, they’re purposefully ignoring it. People will tag (correctly, mind you) Reagan, Nixon, and Dubya as the issue of modern America, but if you bring up the voting/writing record of the most recent Blue Guy, somehow its not their fault, people are allowed to change, people can learn better, etc. etc.

    Every liberal would be cheering and partying in the streets if Trump got stage 4 cancer.

    Then they turn around and say “Wow you’re so uncivil for cheering for the guy who has aided in a genocide, helped make COVID a permanent issue, ignored kids in cages, and made Trump run again.”

    Do they just not see all the issues with their favorite candidates or are they just unable to witness their own doublethink?

      Blue MAGA is not a saying born lightly. These people are truly incapable of seeing their own party for the monters they are.

        And then when you call them out, you’re calling being a useful idiot for having a braincell that wasn’t fed propaganda for a doupoly.

        Every time someone says “Blue MAGA isn’t a thing” I just roll my eyes and recall every time I was right about the DNC failing to protect the democracy they claim to support, and got downvoted, banned, flamed, censored, etc.

    I won’t excuse genocide. And apparently I’m the devil because of it.

    If someone can excuse genocide that’s a personal failing they should see to.

    You leftist rabble-rousers with your lofty ideals of “not doing a genocide” don’t know anything about getting elected and getting things done

    *loses 2 elections to the most disliked president in history*

    DAMN YOU PUTIN!

    I’ve already run into this today and been accused of alienating “Palestine supporters” for suggesting that Joe Biden deserves a bomb dropped on his head.

    Fucking civility perverts…

      I’d imagine if one genuinely cares about stopping the genocide they’d be exactly as civil as they’d strategically need to be.

      If your excitement in the cancer diagnosis of a old man is more important to you I get why people are weirded out.

          they are responsible for a genocide

          So then shouldn’t we do everything strategically possible to oppose the genocide?

          Why is “we should adopt the best strategy possible to stop genocide” so offensive to you?

            Sorry, but you are suggesting that the best strategy possible to stop the genocide is to be nice to the person committing the genocide. Can you explain to me how that helps stop the genocide because I’m clearly to dense to grasp it.

            Maybe you could point to some recent examples where genocides were stopped by being really nice to the perpetrators.

              No, I suggested we adopt the best strategy regardless of what it is.

              You said that even if the best strategy possible is to be nice, you wouldn’t consider doing do.

            “Manners” are rituals to designed cast out anyone who is “different”

            Its disguised ableism

              I’m sure as well. I don’t want the guy to die, I want him to stop doing harm.

              If death is how that happens I could take that. If death isn’t necessary I’d prefer it.

              Ideally we could try people who commit war crimes publicly.

                Well good luck trying to persuade people not to celebrate his death in the spaces that are currently banning you for celebrating Biden’s.

                  I’m not going to be trying to persuade anyone about culture war bullshit that doesn’t matter.

                  The original guy was talking about strategy. Is there a strategic reason to try to persuade those people not to celebrate Trump’s death?

    its so funny seeing all the libs seething that many people think biden got what he had coming if not got off extremely easily considering the evil shit he’s done. they dont see the evil tho. they just see that he’s a democrat so surely that must mean he’s good.

    when brandon dies the universe will be righting a wrong. fuck him. no sympathy or empathy for him or his fucked up family who have neither for any of us or our families or especially those in palestine or otherwise exploited oppressed nations

      Buuut it’s your guy’s fault, if only you’d have voted for the less evil of the two evil guys we’d have a waaaay less evil guy doing less evil guy shit and being waaaay less evil-y obvious about their evil shit. Don’t you see? You made it obvious that the evil guy is an evil guy, instead of the less evil of the evil guys, damnit!!!

      I was kind of surprised they are batting this hard for Genocide Joe when he already lost them the election. You’d think that after Biden screwed their winning chances they would have slightly more disdain for him.

      Not because of the genocide of course, they don’t care about that because it doesn’t affect them.
