[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago (5 children) I'm expecting a bunch of them to just bitch about Israel and genocide and how the Democrats will be "just as bad" yet again. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] AmyAye@nord.pub 9 points 1 month ago Even f that shit were accurate I can't even understand why that makes it ok to throw our country to the fucking Christfascism Nazis. "Oh Democrats will be just as bad for iSrAeL aNd PaLeStInE". Like, maybe, probably not, but they are going to be way less bad for literally everyone else. I do not understand why so many people have this stupid fucking love boner for Israel. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dionysus@leminal.space 6 points 1 month ago These apathetic fucks will find any one topic to cling on to in order to avoid making a decision. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago (2 children) I'm ready to vote blue because the Democrats are almost as bad permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago I’m ready to vote blue because the Democrats are almost as bad This is the way.

It sucks. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 point 1 month ago (1 child) They've got an old reliable boogeyman who hasn't come out to party for a while, so they'll dust him off, and send his creaky bones out for a turn on the dance floor - Communism. It's going to be all about Communism and the rise of the Red Menace in the Democrat Party. What BOTH parties don't get, is that a LOT of people, especially young people, are fed up with both sides, and Socialism - a little light Communism - is sounding pretty good right now. A third of Dems already support the Democratic Socialists, which mean even more are cautiously leaning that way, too. About 50% of Democrats are listening to DemSoc candidates, in one of the most contentious elections in history. A LOT of people, including some on the other side, are starting to think that ANYTHING would be better than this. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 month ago A LOT of people, including some on the other side, are starting to think that ANYTHING would be better than this.

Last June, a UN report found Israel intentionally targets children in order to extinguish the Palestinian people. Literally bombing maternity wards in order to make sure as many babies are killed as possible. Why can't you treat the subject with at least some respect? Why do you feel the need to belittle it? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago “Bitch about genocide”? Christ, have some decency. Yes - bitching about genocide - because THAT'S ALL THEY DO.
