I decided to scroll through lemmy dot world and laughed out loud when I read this comment.
Bernie or buster in 2016
bulllllllllllshit
Such a weirdly specific unforced error
I didn’t vote from 2016 onwards and tbh I feel…well, not good, but when I look at the contortions of people like this I feel the distinct lack of this type of evil on my conscience
What is the anti-genocide choice because I don’t see one.
Third party options like Jill Stein, cornel West, claudia de La Cruz. But sadly no one with a chance to win this election from what I can tell though.
But If a third party gets a certain percentage of the vote, they get funding and are able to participate in more things in the next election. So not being in a swing state I threw my vote to stein. I’d just love to see a new party challenge the status quo.
“do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good” MOTHERFUCKER GENOCIDE ISNT GOOD
I was a dem soc in 2016, border line “Bernie Bro” or whatever, and still voted Clinton in Florida and the best progressive options I could down ballot.
I got blamed for her losing Florida.
I voted Biden despite this. Even though I was a real leftist is 2020.
Somehow, I’m still to blame.
I ain’t falling for this shit this time. They want to piss and cry and fart that I’m a problem. But they won’t work to get any of the 50% of eligible voters that are disengaged, only to blame the 0.3% that protest vote. Controlled opposition is too nice, they’re just opposition at this point.
I was a Titan Project or buster back in 3028 and I deeply regret it. The Drej won’t be defeated by joining Matt Damon, John Leguizamo, Janeane Garofalo, and Drew Barrymore on some silly quest.
Bill Pullman and Nathan Lane had the right idea, so we should participate in their system.
I feel like listening to some Powerman 5000.
TFW the supernova goes paawwp
I thought they were actually pretty fun when they were making ridiculous scifi-themed songs and dressing up in astronaut suits. Ironically, when they tried to get more serious they got very cringe.
Yeah, I prefer the old style wackiness.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
wow that’s one for the olds
Yeah, it’s an old gag, but I liked the “Dredge/Drej” pun for this comm too much to not invoke it a bit.
ive had mayan pilot stuck in my head for longer than most hexbears have been alive
edit: oh wow that song isnt in the soundtrack, but the band is
I think Creed’s “Higher” was in one of the movie’s trailers but wasn’t in the movie, either.
I found out about Jamiroquai from that movie and I still like that band.
won’t defeat it by not participating in the system
the system IS genocide and you won’t defeat it by participating within it
Imagine if someone evil was shooting at these prisoners instead of me
Straight up genocide denial. It’s the only way I would describe this. Neither Harris or Trump are going to stop the genocide.
“as aoc said when arguing why you should vote for biden the first time: you’re not just voting for the person who already gives you everything you want. you’re voting for the person you will argue against, criticize, protest and try to convince to do what you want. out of the two, who do you think is less likely to respond to protests? who’s more likely to be open to dialogue, even if it’s an adversarial one? vote for Harris, then protest the fuck out of her positions you don’t like. maybe with enough pressure you can force some change. with mango mussolini you have no chance.”
My favorite lib strategy. Give up what little leverage you have, give the person you don’t like everything they want, and then complain about it from a position of zero political influence. Also, if you complain well enough to actually require an issue be addressed, you’ll get the full weight of the US legal and enforcement mechanisms on your ass.
If that’s your metric I’m not sure K-dolf comes out on top. Both are genocidal maniacs but Trump is so vain and erratic that you could at least imagine him doing something for popularity’s sake even if it was the right thing to do.
who’s more likely to be open to dialogue, even if it’s an adversarial one?
Libs completely ignoring that both Trump and Harris are equally unlikely to listen to the average person. With a majority of the country opposing genocide, it’s still full steam ahead even though it might cost the dems the election.
The “both sides” argument. Lovely.
Oh no, you misunderstand. One side.
“how can you think they’re the same? Trump will sign the authorizations for weapons and funding with a darker sharpie” —you, a clueless genocide apologist
Both are supporting a fucking genocide you ghoul
Yes, both sides are complicit in genocide which should be a red line. Is there literally anything that the democrats could do that would result in you not voting for them? If Harris came out and openly said “I support the genocide of Palestinians”, would you still vote for her because Trump would be worse?
Is there literally anything that the democrats could do that would result in you not voting for them?
the question you will never, ever receive an answer to
@migo@lemmy.dbzer0.com prove me wrong
Seriously, lol. Harris could shoot someone on 5th avenue and they’d still vote for her.
Do you guys say this even when both sides are the same? In a vote between sky blue and navy blue, neither option is red, and neither option is closer to red.
Genocide is evil and I will oppose it by carrying out my prescribed role in the genocide machine. I’ve heard if you just work hard enough the machine will stop doing genocide and build a welfare state instead.
you won’t defeat it by participating in the system either.
Bruh trump may have been effective in turning some arab states’ backs on palestine but biden and harris ran one of the most effective white washing of a genocide I’ve ever seen. I don’t think people contemplate how bad it is.
how it doesn’t psychically break liberals to campaign for someone like Harris is inconceivable to me
It’s a paper thin cover up
They’re burning all their soft power for their MENA base and it’ll fuck their standing in the long run
the more egregious ignorance in that post is the notion that they are participating in the system
its not a very big club, and you ain’t in it
Torment is bad, which is why we all must do our part and clock in our 16hrs a day at the Torment Nexus type beat
