But damn please do not forget the drastic difference between this peaceful rhetoric vs having your president declare citizens unpatriotic or an enemy, liars, or whatever for disagreeing with him.

Biden’s supporters on lemmy are doing their best to compensate for this particular oversight on his part.

But I do notice you on every trump post insisting people are screaming both sides…

“Both sides” is just one of those things centrists say when they know they’re wrong but don’t want to change.

Heard by whom, Joe?

Hey centrists, this is the sort of person that agrees with you.

Just wondering, when people were driving through BLM protesters, were you like “stay out of the street and you won’t get run over”?

Maybe he thinks that arresting anyone who opposes genocide is the right thing to do.

And 16 centrist Democrats voted with Republicans on the bill because, and I cannot stress this enough, centrists fucking love genocide.

Everyone they kill is retroactively Hamas.

Coathanger Cuellar truly represents party leadership to absolute perfection.

And I have no faith that Senate Democrats won’t just go along with it, considering how many of them voted against conditioning aid back in January.

No, I’m not sure that the senate won’t pass it. And I’m not certain Biden will actually veto.

Another pointless bill that still has to be voted on in the Senate and if it passes there will be vetoed by Biden.

I’m not so sure on either count. Particularly not the senate.

Uh huh. I’m sure you won’t preemptively decide they’re all progressives without evidence.

I wouldn’t be doing it if you hadn’t responded to me agreeing with you by calling me a trumpist.

I was responding in kind. I was doing exactly what you did, directly quoting you in one case.

You don’t like it very much, do you?

So you’re going to blame progressives if RFK peels off enough votes and trump wins, regardless of if those votes come from progressives or centrists.

Not voting for Biden is helping Trump and the GOP.

There is no making assumptions here.

Yes, there fucking is. I’m voting for Biden. You assumed I support Trump because and only because I don’t love genocide like you and every other centrist always has and always will.

I’ve already agreed with you that the Genocide is terrible.

And I agreed with you that Trump is worse than Biden. You responded by calling me a trumpist.

The Genocide needs to end. Biden must do more to end any support or the situation completely. Trump and the GOP must not gain the Office of the President of the United States.

This is my position, which I openly stated, and you replied by calling me a fucking trumpist. If you don’t like it when people ignore your words and make up abhorrent positions to ascribe to you, good. Tell your genocide supporting buddies what that’s like.

Ah now see, this is what I’m talking about. Rather than look at the story, maybe double check, recognize that there are levels and nuances that while don’t excuse anything, they at least provide some reason

I did. You’re lying and pretending that Biden’s hands are tied, and I explained how they very much are not.

“Genocide lovers”? Really.

Just shut up. Fuck

You and people just like you, Genocide lovers all. I no longer care. Every single one and I’m calling you out.

If you want to ignore my words and call me a Trump supporter, which you have straight up done in this thread, I don’t see why anything you say should carry any weight at all either.

Your support for genocide is ALL you are.

FDR was the last president who was really afraid of Marxism at home

So in order to get actual progressive change, we need the looming threat of Marxism?

It’s why democrats are so insistent on pretending that Biden is the second coming of FDR.
