Do you genuinely believe that people who are angry about supporting a genocide are bots?

They both suck. You have to pick one
That’s how Trump won in the first place. You cannot message your way to winning an election. This is not a problem with voters, it’s a problem with democrats passing right-wing policy, and can only be solved by the democrats.
If you pick the wrong guy, you also won’t be able to protest for any kind of change.
You don’t get to say that while cops are beating the shit out of students for protesting. You shouldn’t be pissed at me, you should be pissed at the guy doing things that lose the election.
Dems could have had Bernie, Warren, Buttigieg, even Klobuchar, but Biden won pretty handily. That’s on people people.
Is it though? The media confusing people by claiming Biden is more electable because his policies are closer to what republicans want isn’t on people, nor is every conservative candidate dropping out at once to endorse Biden, while Warren remained in to keep Bernie’s share divided (ensuring that none of the popular policies the former Reagan campaigner ran on were actually implemented), nor is the DNC giving Biden debate questions before hand.
If everyone in Gaza is dead or displaced, it literally does not fucking matter. That is the path Israel is on, which Biden is assisting with.
You are delusional if you think you can win an election on “the other guy will be more vocal in his support for genocide”.
Instead of coming at me for pointing this out, you should be coming at any dem who isn’t calling for a massive u-turn in policy before it’s too late.
This is the same head-in-the-sand thinking let everyone around Biden tell themselves that he was fit for this debate.
Cyberpunk 2077’s Cyberpunk was entirely aesthetic. I have zero faith in the devs being able to actually address those issues in a meaningful way.
Which is a shame because the genera’s whole purpose was to criticize how capitalism would subvert potentially utopian technologies to make everything worse.
level headed voice trying to minimize palestinian casualties
Biden isn’t doing that though, you can’t send someone the bombs they’re using to cause those casualties and say you’re trying to minimize it. Minimizing Palestinian casualties would be using all tools at your disposal to make Palestinian casualties the as low as possible.
The question is would you rather a president who openly facilitates the slaughter of Palestinians or pretends to oppose the slaughter of Palestinians while facilitating it.
The answer is it doesn’t fucking matter, ethnic cleansing is ethnic cleansing.
I have been saying this since Obama.
In 2020, people believed they were voting for healthcare, defunding the police, emptying the migrant concentration camps, protecting Roe v Wade, etc.
When you fail to do the things that brought people to the polls, and do the things the opposition wants instead, the opposition’s voters still won’t vote for you and your own voters just don’t vote.
Trying to appeal to moderate republicans just lowers your own voter turnout. The republicans will always vote for fascism over diet-fascism.
But no, pointing out these very obvious mechanisms just gets me labeled as an evil conservative Chinese Putin-bot trying to disrupt the election.
dropping out of the race at the convention
The face of the party is infinitely less important than the impact the policies have on people’s lives. It doesn’t matter if it’s Biden or Pete Buttigeig at the front, the dems only shot in hell is to use every power at their disposal short of drone striking Trump and the SCOTUS (maybe) to demonstrate to voters that 1. They want the same thing the voters want (eg, not genocide) and 2. They will actually do those things (no blaming the parliamentarian or norms or some rules you set or fear the SCOTUS might ask you to stop).
The adderal or whatever they were giving him for the 2020 debates would kill him now.
For Final Jeopardy, I want to see each of them try to draw a clock.
Do you just do things entirely at random with no input from your understanding of the world?
No? Then congrats, you’ve got ideology. I’m gonna assume it’s liberalism, since they’re typically the only ones both dumb and arrogant enough to think they’re not only non-political, but non-ideological.
That’s not at all what they’re saying, IHeartCheese is saying you, the citizen, don’t have power over the SCOTUS.
But you’d be right as in both sides are ideological, how else do you think they decide which interpretation to use if not by ideology?
Or are you one of those libs who doesn’t think they have ideology?
Well if you speak Tagalog, they’ll hate you for being Mexican.
I’d hope it would have you asking yourself why you’re supporting the same policies we all agreed were bad under Trump.
These shithead illegal immigration policies probably wouldnt even be in the spotlight if scared old white people weren’t the biggest swath of participating voters.
Fascists are never going to vote democrat.
Triangulation doesn’t work. When you triangulate yourself to be 1 inch left of hitler, the people who want hitler vote hitler, and the people who wanted not-hitler don’t vote. When you get elected for being not-hitler, and proceed to facilitate genocide, people who wanted not-hitler don’t vote
You learned nothing in 2020.
You learned nothing when Obama lost the house and senate in 2010 after not pulling out of Iraq+afghanistan, ending the war on drugs, and doing other stuff that voters expected of him, instead tryed to reach out to moderate republicans.
You learned nothing when Kerry lost after campaigning on doing the wars more competently in 2004.
And you will learn nothing in November.
Now what the fuck do we do about this impending presidential vote?
Pressure Biden to cut off all aid to Israel and sanction them until they give equal civil rights to Palestinians and return their homes, use military hospitals to provide healthcare to women, send in the military to destroy the child-drowning fence on the rio, etc.
Doing good things instead of bad things is only way Biden can hope to be reelected (no, the republicans or the parliamentarian or the SCOTUS or Joe Manchin or civility and norms aren’t an excuse).
You don’t get to promote right-wing policies in another futile attempt to court moderate republicans (who will always vote for the real thing over diet-fascism) and then complain about division.
This is exactly how we got here. You want to stop eating shit? Stop supporting objectively evil policies and then complaining that other people won’t support them with you.
Blue Maga about to explain why actually it’s good when Biden does it and you’re a russian bot if you think otherwise.
No, it’s because that’s where they counter the <insert enemy of the state department>'s propaganda with truth and facts.
Same reason Reddit’s director of policy comes from The Council on Foreign Relations and worked for Madelin Albright. They certainly wouldn’t be using Reddit to influence the perceptions of Americans, the primary users of Reddit.
That site is garbage. The atomic unit of propaganda is not lies, it’s emphasis. NYT (and most western news media have supported every single military action the US has done when it mattered.
This isn’t reflected in their ratings, since they don’t need to use lies to get people believing wild misconceptions. It is reflected in the way the American people are mobilized to support each military action.
Shoulda used salt water.
You really don’t understand what I’m saying do you?
No amount of messaging or vote shaming or self delusion can override the dogshit policies Biden has enacted trying to appeal to “moderate republicans”.
But if you learned nothing from 2016, I’m sure in November you’ll blame everyone but the people with power.
