    Look, we know it sucks but you have to make it through it AND you have to continue to participate in this system if you want it to work for you.

    I lived through Reagan, through Bush, through Trump and every time republicans are elected it sets us back decades.

    Do you actually think a republican is going to stop the genocide when the Christians want that shit to happen?

    This type of shit is foreign or domestic douchebags trying to derail Biden.

    We are going to get him in, we are going get rid of the foreign agents within the parties, we are going to tax the fuck out of the billionaires, we are going to fund healthcare and education, we are going to get more progressive.

    Why? Because it’s time. But we can’t do it while carrying all the boomer dead weight. It will take another term for us to rid ourselves of the boomer era cancer that plagues politics. We will take time to get progressives in office. Maybe 8 years if you all actually start getting involved rather than just making memes.

    You vote Republican you vote for genocide, you vote Biden and you get a chance to get rid of Netanyahu for good.

      Neither is Biden. Neither is any Democrat. When faced with even a hint of moving left of mid right dem establishment the dnc went to court to affirm that they do what they want.

      Telling yourself the guy who sidesteps congress to supply and fund genocide is less fascist than the guy who wants to sidestep congress to back genocide is lunacy.

      Meaningful change never comes from voting. It never has. It has always come through organizing and direct action. If you have been around for awhile you should know this already. In my country two elections ago the social democrat party got elected and implemented some of the most anti-worker and anti-immigration policy this country has ever seen. It’s not about who is the president or who you vote for. In non swing states your vote literally doesn’t matter at all. In swing states it’s rare one vote or even a thousand matter.

      The real vote for genocide is arguing and putting your faith in voting. I honestly thought that Biden enabling genocide would make people see the flaws in our system. But people only seem to bury their heads in the sand deeper. If you truly care about genocide do something about it. And if you already do please take some time to try to understand why people, many of them muslim who care and do everything they can to stop this genocide, might not wanna vote or participate in this useless and meaningless action.

        3rd party isn’t even participating. If you want to play the game, you have to understand the rules.
