I’ve been watching Israelis scattering children’s brains across the land for the last 8 months tbh

Yet when the people ask to not be owned by corporations, to have medical care, to not commit genocide, that all falls on deaf ears.
When wall Street wants something done, Biden jumps to it.
These are all sticking little plasters on the giant gaping wound and saying that you fixed it
Because his dad was part of al qaeda the kid deserved to die? That’s totally not fucked up at all
Al gore got fucked and he should have been president
The same way Bernie got fucked by the DNC and would have won against trump if he had been the nominee
Hillary Clinton is at best centre right and was an absolutely horseshit choice, her only redeeming feature was she wasnt trump
Maybe democrats should actually be progressive and not all be owned by corporations and then people would go for them
So is trump for electric vehicles now because they will protect him from sharks?
Honestly they’re not
I played constantly up til black flag, got unity and the Viking one, and hated both. Stopped playing after an hour
I work 5 days a week but have to go in 3 now so just counted those
The other two I still wfh
Not to mention it’s just exhausting spending 5 hours of your day in commute
That’s about 15 hours a week I could use to work and to go out with my dog, work out, actually do work more efficiently with two screens, and just idk spend some time with friends
Lol I have no reason to be in the office for my job. My company started forcing people back in January. I take the train in. It takes me 2.5 one way, 5 hours total. Doesn’t make any fucking sense that I have to make the journey, and it makes no fucking sense that the train ride takes an hour and 45 minutes
If it’s two minutes do you need to be driving? That seems like a walk or bike
Idk if anyone is saying they’ll vote for trump over Biden because they think he will be better for genocide or for people in the states.
Saying Biden and the Democrats are enabling genocide and watching it happen is not the same thing as saying “we will vote for trump”
It’s calling out people and hoping they do better.
But I guarantee you if Biden loses the election this November, all the pieces will be about why black and brown and Muslim voters didn’t come out, rather than examining why an absolutely massive proportion of white people vote for trump and the Republicans at every turn even though they’re destroying the country.
The entire thing of being third party is that it’s only viable if people start realizing that they can and should bring those people into the fold. If a third party candidate somehow pulled 10% of the vote both Dems and Reps would have to take notice and make some changes. That person might not win outright but it gets the ball rolling.
Biden has specifically said many times that he supports Israel and that he is a Zionist…
Erasing words because there is the potential for damaging feelings isnt the way to go.
I agree re sexism, etc., but I don’t think we should rewrite books or words. Let people know what they mean, and then explain why it’s bad.
For ex. Re-publishing Enid Blyton or Mark Twains works with certain words that are racist removed or edited. I don’t think that should be done. Let people learn how they were used and why they are wrong.
Or pulling down statues of Confederate leaders because they were racist and fought to have slaves. Don’t do that. Keep the statues up. Add a plaque or a message stating why they were assholes. Don’t erase history. Don’t rewrite it. Just make sure people have the knowledge.
What’s that have to do with anything?
I’m pretty sure the entire argument since 1948 has been that they want to be a state.
I’m pretty sure it’s literally in the idea of a two state solution.
By that logic you should never vote for a third party ever because the chances are low
By that logic you should never try to change anything or challenge the status quo because what’s the point.
People thought the divine right of kings was the only viable system for a thousand years too
They say that about literally every single election
The standards have sunk so low it is staggering
I’ll vote but I’ll vote third party
You guys will get pissed at that too
Democrats haven’t done shit for decades now. Every single time they come in, it’s a little glitter on top of the steaming shit pile left by the republican counterpart, and then the same old stuff as them, just with different words. Doesn’t matter which party is in the White House, both of them are bought out completely by fossil fuels, tech, pharma, and all the other main industries. The Democrats are not a left wing party, they are a center right party that has been drifting ever more towards the right.
If their only running point is that they’re not as bad as the republicans, well honestly, they have shown that to not be true. The same things that would have happened under the republicans is happening under the Democrats. Joe Biden is the one calling people who protest against genocide anti semites. He’s the one okay with the national guard and heavily militarized police beating up and arresting American citizens because they protest another country having exorbitant power here.
How is that different from Trump saying the same thing when Democrats were upset about Russia? How are you all okay with another country blatantly directing America’s leaders? And buying our politics?
If you guys can only ever dream of two choices, when literally half the western governments have more than two choices and have to form coalitions, that’s your own failing. The two party system was always broken that’s why even George fucking Washington warned against it 250 odd years ago.
But if you want a third choice you’re gonna have to vote for one. And telling everyone they should stick their head in the sand and only vote for two pieces of a shit sandwich because it’s been like that for a while is cowardly. Dream of a better world, then make one. Don’t just dream of it and say ah well it’s out of reach.
Ah yes all the European countries are starving
