No, this very well could be a genocide, and the Biden admin needs to work to stop it as soon as possible, in a way that creates a lasting peace.

That doesn’t answer the question of who you think is possibly better for palestine and could win.

Except Biden has been decreasing the size of the military and growing the C.C.C.

And is also beginning the conversion of the military to green energy.

Try again, I’m sure you can make better anti-biden propaganda than this.

Trumpers/Republican that don’t support genocide Joe, but there’s literally millions of us.

Disregarding the stupid “gEnOciDe jOe” comment, do you have a source for millions of people willing to switch from voting for Joe Biden in 2020 to not voting for him in 2024?

There’s literally no candidates with a better track record on this than Biden, and any candidates that could have a better Palestine policy aren’t going to win.

Bullshit.

Biden has never once called communists vermin, never once called for them to be expelled from our society, Biden has worked repeatedly with socialist politicians here and abroad.

There’s a monumental difference between Trump and Biden, but I guess if you refuse to engage in basic political analysis and see the difference between Liberalism and Fascism you can just sit on your island over there remaining eternally politically ineffective.

For a leftist, neither candidate changes that reality. It will simply be more comfortable under one than the other.

I mean, I’m perfectly aware Biden isn’t going to institute an American Meidner plan or start nationalizing key infrastructure and industries tomorrow and would probably vehemently oppose anyone trying to do so.

But if all I have to do is show up one day this year, and try and get my friends to do the same, just to not be possibly persecuted for any LGBT or socialist affiliations, that feels like not that big of a hassle for the gain of atleast keeping the status quo.

Every other volunteering and organizing day of the year is still going to be towards something not directly related to electoral politics.

That’s not the point: voting is unrelated to the work of uprooting fascism.

I mean that’s partially true, but If the praxis for destroying American fascism is going to be so much harder under the rule of the fascist rather than the rule of the liberal, then shouldn’t making sure the liberal stays be a prerequisite to the other praxis?

If you spend all your energy getting Biden elected, you are still no closer to solving the problem.

I certainly don’t think it’s the only thing leftists should be focusing on. We need more organization around lots of things other than electoral politics (Union’s, Economic Rights, Building Up Socialist Orgs, etc), but I don’t see us making real gains federally with any of these other spheres of organizing with Trump in power.

The hard work of resisting fascism happens everywhere but the ballot box.

You realize that doing all of that hard work would be much harder under Trump than Biden right?

Even if you’re the most communist person ever, it makes sense to vote for Biden, he atleast tolerates your existence, and that’ll make all praxis easier than under Mr. “Root out the communist vermin” Trump

It’s basically a wishlist of policy proposals that a ton of far-right NGO’s have come up with that the Trump team has embraced.

It’s a super wide-ranging set of policies, but it ranges from abolishing the Department of Education to urging Trump to use the insurrection act to have the army occupy any cities that protect against him, to the deportation of all undocumented immigrants and the creation of massive deportation camps.

Serious question: Are anti-material rifles commonly used by cartels?

Yes but for different uses than a normal gun would be used for. The Mexican police and army have been trotting out more of their armored vehicles to try and combat the cartels. .50 Cals and other anti-material rifles function as the counter to those armored vehicles while being a lot cheaper than a smuggled rocket launcher.

You can find lots of videos of them using them, especially on reddit, can’t exactly remember what sub though, Cartel stuff is banned from r/combatfootage

You must not know how much influence the US has over Israel. It literally takes one phone call to reign in Israel and Netanyahu to stop their reign genocidal campaign.

And you say this because??? Oh because you heard it once and now you parrot it fucking everywhere even though it couldn’t be further than the truth. Israel is not a puppet of the U.S, and the U.S can’t just control it.

The US has repeatedly shot down Palestinian voices calling for a peace deal,

Because literally every peace deal Hamas has offered has been “Leave Gaza and let us prepare to do another October 7th”

Rafah was supposed to Biden’s “red line” and now that’s being invaded as well.

I literally watched the State Department press briefing on this last night, they’re still condemning any action towards Rafah, and Israel hasn’t even fully moved into Rafah yet, just issued an evacuation order, which even that the Biden Admin condemned for not being thought through enough.

Seems like you really should be reading up more on how influential US foreign policy really is instead of clinging to democratic talking points meant to deflect from complicity in this event.

I have and it’s not that influential, earlier in the 2000s Israel was pulling the same sort of shit in Gaza, Bush blocked their weapons (Just as Biden has already done) and Israel just kept on doing it’s war crimey thing.

Because he’s the one signing multibillion dollar aid packages with our tax dollars funding a genocide and literally ignoring calls for ceasefire. I mean, the only way you don’t know that is if you’re living under a rock.

I know that certain media sources love to put it this way, but Biden has not been ignoring calls for ceasefire Blinken has literally been the one setting up most of the Ceasefire proposals that Hamas has constantly shot down. But I’m sure you know Hamas has been an opponent of peace at every step, just as they bombed the southern border crossing where aid was starting to come through, Hamas doesn’t care about the people of Gaza, it wants to cling to power at any chance, even if that means starving a city on international TV to try and bring the world against Israel.

white supremacy and fascism

Oh yeah? And how are they doing that?

Shunning him for having the blood of 20k kids on his hands is not “fixating”.

Even accepting your numbers, why is the blame entirely on Biden for this? I’ve seen far more hate for Biden than Netanyahu on here, and yet Biden is literally the only reason aid has gotten through again after the Israeli blockade, Biden is the only reason Israel is practicing any restraint at all, Biden is the only reason that there’s even a hope of a ceasefire or lasting peace.

Seems really like you should be blaming the far right government actually carrying out the war, and not the centre-left government an ocean away whose been trying to walk the line between scolding Netanyahu at every turn, and also trying not to piss off the 60% of the country that supports Israel.

Banning .50 caliber weapons without discussing any other calibers, as if .51 and .49 are both substantially safer.

Don’t think they have a problem with the caliber… I think they have a problem with a popular American anti-vehicle rifle easily being acquired by the Cartels.

There’s no super popular and known of .49 or .51 caliber, but if Barrett made one I’m sure they’d try to ban it too.

In what way is anyone here defending the status quo by calling Trump a fascist? Pretty sure the only people really doing that are Progressive and Socialist Democrats, who do absolutely not defend the status quo.

And that you mention books, not (just) the internet as a source

Yeah it took be forever to start actually reading, I feel like only ever really reading when being forced to throughout all of school makes a lot of people wanna avoid it after they’ve graduated. Eventually I got sick of having only a wikipedia level depth of knowledge on cold war poverty in the U.S., so I bought Michael Harringtons “The Other America” and my library has grown exponentially since.

(was it me/my youth, or the school that made it seem boring? :D)

Almost definitely school lol, I feel like the whole learning through “Great history man did ____ on ____ day remember it for the test” really alienates people and makes it super hard to feel connected to or interested in any of it.

One thing I definitely remember being drilled into us back then was that we must be constantly vigilant to protect our rights, or we’ll lose them. How true that turned out to be! We’re on the verge of losing so much right now. :(

Maybe this was something else that changed or the deep south is just different, but I never really heard the importance of defending our rights as a kid (Unless that meant allegedly defending them from random groups in the Middle East).

Down here it was much more of a “Our country is the greatest and the free-est and everyone is jealous of us for our unexstinguishable freedoms” type of thing, and then most of us woke up in 2016 and realized that wasn’t true.

Gen Z’er here. I graduated high school without ever even having the option of a civics class. Everything I’ve learned about civics has been from history class and independent reading of wikipedia/books.

Exactly, even just his incompetence will hurt us for years to come.

including but not limited to wielding the military in a way that I bet will cause disasters we didn’t even really have on the radar as possibilities before they arrived.

Everyone who paid attention during 2020 and has read the Project 2025 plans should know that this will happen.

But it doesn’t even have to be malicious, though he will for sure be malicious, stupidity is enough. A million people died because Covid was so much worse here than it could’ve been, all because he was too petty to say “Put on a mask, save your country” which his base would’ve inevitably eaten up.

But no, his stupidity caused a million avoidable deaths.

Especially if their addiction is Reality TV, that shit is sneaky and dangerous.

Like Jersey Shore sounds awful, but wait till Reality TV finds your favorite hobby or a special interest of yours to make a show about, then you’d understand.

This is actually new. We don’t just dump literally everything we know on Mossad, we tell them what we think they need to know and keep other certain things close to the chest if we need to.

There’s many reasons we could’ve been waiting on telling Israel everything we knew about Sinwar, for example, he’s the highest ranking Hamas official inside Gaza, and is the one who would accept/negotiate hostage deals or ceasefire’s.

We might’ve expected Israel to instantly try to kill this guy, which we probably wouldn’t have wanted if Hamas still has american hostages.

Or we expected Israel to immediately kill him, and we didn’t want to do that because the U.S. was still trying to get some sort of deal out of him.
