    Meanwhile the guy who can actually do something about it right now has done nothing but continue to aid Israels genocide in Gaza by providing them weapons and instructing his UN ambassador to continue providing cover. Fuck Trump, but goddam can’t you people ask the bare minimum (oppose genocide) from your party leader?

      I mean he did reportedly call for a cease fire today. Not great but better late than never.

        Irrelevant. We have the biggest military in the world, and with great power comes great responsibility. We should have bombed their capitol and assassinated Netanyahu months ago. Biden is complicit in genocide.

            They’re trying their hardest to spin any statement about preventing a second Trump presidency into you actively supporting genocide. No mental gymnastics are too difficult for them.

            I’m not usually inclined to conspiracy theories, but to me this smells like a concerted Russian astroturfing campaign to bring Putin’s sock puppet back into office while sowing more division. What’s also interesting is that all they want to talk about is genocide, but only the one happening at the hands of Israels government right now. Putin’s genocide in Ukraine is conveniently ignored or denied.

        The point is they don’t want either, and act like not voting for either means they won’t get one of the two, which is false.

          First, this is a self-created scenario. Honestly, if it came to Bernie and Trump… would you be more scared of Trump winning or Bernie? If your answer is Trump, then ask the Democrats why they are more scared of having someone like Bernie win than they are of risking Trump winning again. That should tell you all you need to know about what and who you’re actually voting for. It is the same show different season, but you forgot to watch seasons 1-7 to see they all are the same story with new actors every now and then.

            It’s not, there’s 2 candidates right now, one is trump.

            There is no known democratic politician that if they replaced Biden, I’d vote for trump. It’s not gonna happen. Bernie, fuck it Hillary, any of em. Trump must not be president.

            Trump is unlike any other president or presidential candidate in the modern age. Avoiding project 2025, insurrection 2.0 or any other maga shenanigans is the top order.

              Yeah, no shit. There were the same two candidates last time too and Biden didn’t win more votes cause he was well liked. So same story and same characters, different season. They are taking a bigger risk this time around though, but hey… if Trump does win, make sure you blame everyone but the Democrats.

                Absolutely. Just asking. Lots of people from outside the US love to act like they know everything about our elections.

                  I don’t need to be from the US in order to understand US politics / political system better than the average US citizen.
