I mean yeah, between Gaza, Republicans managing to push shit through the Supreme Courts and blocking Ukraine aid, and the fact that Trump is STILL somehow avoiding facing any consequences for his actions beyond fines that aren't even an inconvenience to him...
But mostly Gaza right now. It's blowing up every media outlet, it's incredibly easy to see that Israel is going way beyond all reasonable boundaries of retaliation, and it's completely impossible to ignore that the US is facilitating Israel's actions, arguably INSTEAD of aiding Ukraine.
Of course, I'm not exactly blind to the fact that two of Biden's biggest failures are 'The Republicans are doing comically evil shit for party-over-country political gain'. Even if him failing to stop them is a point against him, that doesn't change the fact it's pretty clear proof that the Repubs shouldn't be anywhere near a government office.
I wish democrats were the right wing option in American politics. Any decent country would value them as firmly neoliberal and basically conservative in the dictionary sense. Social progress laggards, fiscally careful, and totally latched to the corporate teat
The fact that they're the lefties was enough to make me leave for good. If things get much worse I'll renounce my citizenship.
The Dems are to the left of their main party counterparts in most of the rest of the democratic world on both fiscal and social policy.
Like are you trying to compare to Latin America where neo-pronouns are considered a legitimate cause for murder or Europe where a number of migrants over a ten year period roughly equal to how many people the US mints as new citizens every two or three years at most sent the entire continent into a neofascist brain aneurysm?
Maybe Canada where Quebec basically has state permission to ethnostate so hard that even french literary scholars will fail the language proficiency exam. How about Taiwan where brawls literally break out on the floor of parliament, or Turkey which tried for decades to do everything it could to crush religiosity, ethnic distinguishment, and even letters of the alphabet used by languages they didn't like.
"At least their much more institutionally powerful Nazis have healthcare!" is what I hear every damn time someone tries to trot this that fucking line out.
"Any decent country" does not imply the existence of decent countries, only that I had a slightly less awful option. Bye
Nice goalpost move.
