So the genocide is going to stop if Republicans win right? …Right?? I mean it’s not like presidential candidates are signing bombs used on children saying to finish them… riiiight?
Who said anything about voting for a republican?
Context clues my guy, when my feed is flooded with Genocide Joe memes because it’s an election year and various interests are trying to dissuade people from voting so Republicans take power, it’s pretty easy to tell what this meme is doing.
You think genocide Joe memes are to dissuade Republicans from voting for Joe Biden? You think someone concerned about genocide would vote for Trump for Biden? What?
It’s about voter disillusionment. Make a big show about Joe Biden sending weapons to Israel equating that action to being the mastermind behind the Israel’s genocidal campaign and distracting from the fact that trump will literally open the floodgates of our weapons stockpile to Israel accelerating tje genocide and get people who begrudgingly vote for biden because he’s the less awful choice to reconsider voting at all.
Do you think maybe this is something beyond just trying to get people to vote for Trump? Maybe people just really hate genocide and don’t like the idea of voting or supporting someone who is okay with it?
Think maybe there are third party options?
Do you think maybe the electoral college and the stupid voting situation in this country has made it so many people have an opportunity to vote third party while their state still goes to Biden??
Listen all I’m trying to say is people have a ton of different reasons to call out Joe for his support of genocide. You immediately defending it makes you and the things you stand for look bad because you’re defending genocide. Just saying
I’m defending genocide by pointing out Republicans will accelerate the genocide if they win by people deciding not to vote?
Yes.
If anytime someone brings up how the current political establishment are aiding and abetting genocide and that’s a bad thing and you immediately start defending them. You are defending genocide. 🤷
That’s why I asked who said anything about voting for Trump. I’d shoot myself in the head before I did that. You know when I’m not going to do pretend like genocide Joe’s not a f****** genocide enabler. Cuz I don’t defend genocide or people who help commit them. You should try it real easy.

Calculating whether you can safely throw your vote away to a third party candidate is a next level strategy.
Yes, thank you! If you were to go through my comment history, you’ll see me arguing for voting for third parties in non-swing States. I also cite that if any of those third parties gets 5% in the vote, they get public funding in the next round as well as a chance to actually contend.
My vote is probably going to end up going for Claudia de La Cruz or Dr. Cornell West. Because I live in a hard blue state that will not change.
Biden doesn’t need my support right now. He needs it on election day. Until that day I’m going to criticize his actions (or lack there of) and how he runs his campaign (as is my right as an American) because he’s doing a bad job (again) at making people want to vote for him.
It shouldn’t be this difficult to beat an open fascist like Trump, but Biden is putting forth only token efforts to actually earn votes. He can stop payments to Israel. He can stop weapon shipments to Israel. That would earn him votes on the left, but he’s too busy courting the right to bother. Too busy arguing with the ICJ that what’s going on isn’t genocide.
Yeah, Nikki Haley signed some bombs. Joe Biden signed the check that paid for them (metaphorically).

Excellent take. We can all be in agreement that Biden deserves criticism and needs to change positions, and then vote for him unhappily on election day if nothing changes. We don’t have to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Better the devil we know than the ones explicitly telling us they will be worse.
Did you miss my first three sentences? I can still be critical of a candidate that I plan to vote for. We all should be more openly critical of the candidates we support. It promotes better candidates and lowers the tribalist walls that keep us insulated in our echo chambers.
Its not going to stop no matter who wins.
It’s the American Way™
The bombs don’t kill as many children if you (edit:) don’t sign them.
What the fuck?
Whoops, edited.
Which candidates did that? Or do you not mean literally? 🤔
No I mean literally. Nikki Haley is signing bombs headed to Israel, most likely for use in Rafah, writing Finish Them on the bombs.
Holy shit. I honestly thought this was bullshit so I had to look it up.

What in the actual fuck
Wow. They really buried that one… I’m not sure if I’m glad I asked or not
I’m not sure what you have set up on your lemmy, but there’s been a few posts on lemmy.world that picked up some traction.
I intend to criticize Biden’s position today, and every day henceforth until the conflict is over.
That is independent of my vote for him. I will criticize him on election day and hopefully on his inauguration for a second term.
