He didn't stop the genocide either.

Short of invading Israel, you won't stop them.

Besides condemning protestors and advocating for the use of force?

Recyling memes on posts that are critical of genocide joe, hahahaha

Remember how people reacted when Trump was president, Presidents do have power, no need to act like they don't have influence and power to change the status quo...

Biden/Trump are the duopoly that will keep the status quo going, even after they are gone from the limelight, we have major systematic problems.

We must continue to question and be critical of those in power and with influence!

Presidents have power, but not when it comes to state and local police, that's by design.

When Portland was turned upside down by 100+ days of protests in 2020, we were VERY pissed at Teargas Ted (Mayor Wheeler). That was HIS fault, not Trumps, with one very, very narrow exception:

(making things worse - "Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf was in Portland during the day." it turned out, Wolf had been acting illegally - https://www.theverge.com/c/23172433/chad-wolf-homeland-secretary-illegal-tenure-dhs)

Things only calmed down when Governor Kate Brown sent in the State Police.

"Letting the right win will work this time!" the people least immediately in the right's crosshairs said.

What is the message you’re trying to get across here?

What are you trying to say?

What is your intent?

Lmao election is exactly 6mo from today. You'd think the Russian bots would be less transparently incompetent. Guess they think we're Twitter/reddit.

Edit:

  • improved wording, a bit...

Blaming and labeling everyone that does not think the way you want them to as bots...

I hope you and I keep on learning and talking to people that don't think like we do, it is of great importance especially when we talk to people face to face instead of just being anons on online forums!

Do not forget to:

We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach.

Join your local groups and start directly helping our communities as well!
