Current Events > GOP rep: Palestinian babies aren't innocent

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's astounding to me people stroll into this topic and think all of the people who would vote Biden to prevent losing voting rights and the persecution of LGBT people somehow also hold the notion that we think he's above criticism.

Like, no. I'd vote blue down the ticket if the candidate was a day old ham sandwich. Biden is simply the head of the party that's the least likely to jail my brother or his girlfriend, so he's going to get the vote.

You can still be critical of his policies and believe he's the best option of the two. Which he is, and if you believe otherwise, you're a fucking idiot.

You can push democrats to be better, but you havent really done that for most of this topic. Instead you just say theyre bad for promising things that usually get struck down by republicans.

The abortion shit you do is the best example. You blame the democrats for not enshrining the rights (that we already had under Roe), instead of the republicans for actually squashing them.

You just told me voting for the party that isn't giving me rights out of their goodness of their hearts is the wrong choice. As opposed to what? The GOP who calls me a pedophile and promises to take away everything because I'm a danger to the country? Some third party candidate that I should wish into existence and political prominence by November? Not voting and leaving it up to chance?

Oh great Humble has joined the discussion to complain about leftists.

This is what I was talking about. Everyone knows genocide is bad, and we can criticize him for it. Everyone knows this can and will harm his turnout. This is not news to anyone

Why is it we just accept Republicans being pieces of shit, but it's democrats who need to be better.

And the way to mitigate that is not by open hostility. I've seen plenty examples of critics being accused of being Trump supporters, commies, accelerationists or even nazis. It's a significant share of the voter base who has very valid moral issues on this topic, telling them to "stfu, accept that genocide is inevitable, and vote anyway" might not be the way to go.

And they don't have a moral issue with millions upon millions of Americans suffering if Biden does not win? What the fuck kind of morals are those?

Clearly screaming that anyone who Votes against the Repubs loves Genocide is a perfectly fine way to get a discussion going.
No fuck of with tis disingenous tactic. We are sick of it.

It's triggered you enough to respond.

What's good for liberals is also good for leftists.

1. lol No
2. Try to go five minutes without blaming leftists for something.

Who has said this?

Are you saying we don't have people ITT arguing that genocide is inevitable? It's referring to statements like this: "Genocide happens either way, chief."

I keep getting proven right.

Again, completely ignoring the part that this stance is what can cause Biden to lose. It's like talking to a brick wall.

Are you telling me that doubling down on support for Israel's war crimes is not a good strategy to win Michigan, a swing state with a high Arab population?

Are you sure you don't mean Muslim population rather than Arab population? Because Arabs only count as 2% or more of Michigan's current population.

Michigan is a critical swing state, one that Mr. Biden won by a thin margin of about 154,000 votes in 2020, but that Hillary Clinton lost in 2016 to Donald Trump, who appears likely to be the GOP presidential nominee this year. It's home to a large community of Arab and Muslim Americans, 146,000 of whom voted for Mr. Biden in 2020, and many of whom disagree with Biden's stance on the Israel-Hamas war.

Trumble posted... It's pretty clear that a lot of people ITT just want their team to win and don't care if they're voting for literal genocide in the process. Furthermore, these same people are perfectly content to spread the "you only have two choices" propaganda that keeps not only the Democrats, but also the very Republicans they pretend to be so upset about, in power.

There's no morally honest way that support for either Trump or Biden can be justified, hence why supporters cling to excuses, false claims, or blaming the other of those two while refusing to even acknowledge, let alone support, any other option.

The reason you keep ending up with people like those two is because you keep voting for people like those two.

ok once again, what do you think about the lgbt and minority rights going to shit under trump? What are the other options you keep talking about? Not voting doesnt do anything.

So basically, Michigan will be decided by an even thinner margin of 8,000 votes or less if Muslim Americans within the state stay home?

You offer nothing at all besides "just vote for the guy who supports one less genocide" so don't criticize me for at least offering a first step.

So who's the viable third option you're gonna vote for in these upcoming elections that's gonna get you what you want?

You offer nothing at all, so don't criticize me for at least offering a first step.

My thoughts on voting are that it's nearly useless unless you are willing to withhold your vote.

There it is.

2.) Those who abstain. You're not as culpable as I do fully believe you believe you're doing the right thing, but it won't really matter when LGBT people are imprisoned how good you felt about yourself. If Trump wins, you're nearly as culpable.

The leftists who've chosen not to vote are already expecting liberals to fully blame them for this and they are defiantly gleeful over it.

Again, completely ignoring the part that this stance is what can cause Biden to lose. It's like talking to a brick wall.
