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?
Remember when they got mad after Trump said "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters"? They said it was cult-like behavior by his followers.
But when Biden bombs children, or backs a genocide, it's somehow not cult-like behavior to keep supporting him.
Murder is bad when its the other guys, our murder is just the way things are, nothing can be done to prevent it.
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.
Watch out, you're going to upset the folks at lemmy.world
.world is upset anytime someone lightly criticizes their favorite politicans, we can ignore them.
And the german feddit
Feddit already permabanned me for calling the German government Nazis a few weeks ago so their precious eyes are protected from seeing this meme.
The 'good german' feddit.
Libs stop thinking in electoralist terms challenge [back-breakingly toilsome]
Democrat politicians abandoned you decades ago and don't have your interest in mind, please please PLEASE stop defending them/putting your hopes on them (and the electoral Kabuki theater in general) and do something about your situation yourselves. Organize, build community, help people in need, use your privilege where it matters.
It's too late for elections, even more if that's the one and only thing you're willing to do politically. You might "win" a presidential term for a democrat president next time but the damage is already done and everything is rotting around you.
All this dumb bickering about "voting for the lesser evil" is incredibly frustrating for people from countries who endured dictatorships. So if anything, listen to them and act before it's too late.
Genocide is an antiseptic term for a very nasty thing.
There's been so many blue maga types popping up since the news came out and it's hella annoying. For an entire day on bluesky you couldn't go anywhere without seeing some ex Facebook boomer blue maga type glazing genocide joe. God forbid you said anything against him and you got absolutely dog piled and scolded by people who were one wrong turn away from being Trumps strongest soldier.
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!
Liberals: but what if we compromised, how about only some genocide? What if Israel only tortured half as many babies? What if Israel only illegally annexed half of the West Bank instead of their current plan to annex the entire thing? What if people were able to afford 50% of rent and 50% of all bills? What if we only cut Medicare and Medicaid by 50%?
Don't be silly, liberals aren't offering to spare half the Palestinians, there offering "killing all of them, but with a troubled expression on our face."
Or kill just half of them and then, as a compromise, only kill half of the ones who are left (repeat until total remaining Palestinians is less than 1)
The recursive two state solution
What if Netanyahu put pronouns in bio?
I think gloating about cancer is gross.
I also think using cancer as an excuse for hagiography of a man who knowingly sold weapons for an ongoing genocide is gross.
I got plenty of downvotes for not having sympathy for biden the other day
