I guess to be fair I was never really a stickler for any particular method; I’m just a lot more open to a lot of them.

    Yeah there’s a difference, but you are being tricked into fighting against your own interests and the interests of all the victims of imperialism when you make your political struggle the struggle for putting people like Biden in power. You will never fix the problem by putting another Biden in power, or even a Bernie, because the problem is structural and it’s called capitalism.

      I’m being tricked? because I called out a shitty opinion? Takes a real true believer to see this much based on a comment on moral equivalency. This dude made a shit opinion. That doesn’t mean I’m a fucking “vote blue no matter who” dickhead. Slow your roll.

          jesus another hexbear user who has issues with reading comprehension. fuck me. one more reply then you are my fourth block.

          the current administration is worse for Palestine than the previous (also hostile to Palestine) administration.

          I’m talking about ‘normal’ shitty colonialism making milquetoast excuses, an administration who are bad but in the same way every other administration in US living history, versus the current eager and loud administration who delight and revel in the hatred, and actively encourage the visible and very real acceleration of the genocide against the innocent Palestinian population.

          Both are bad, I hate that those are the choices. But any sane person interested in the actual welfare of the living people who are being terrorised and systematically murdered by the hideous apartheid regime that is isreal, would understand that less harm is better than more harm.

          Honestly, in a world full of right wing hatred, the stripping of minority rights and open bigotry, you think someone who actually cares would spend their time attacking the people advocating for that rather than bickering with someone whom they think is supporting Palestine the wrong way.

          Fucking pathetic. I’m embarrassed for you, and all of your peanut gallery friends.

          One more reply, then I’m done.

        The thing is, I do agree with the moral equivalence. Biden committed genocide. Trump is committing genocide. Biden set up Trump to do all the right wing cultural stuff by never actually wielding power and doing things like stacking the courts, codifying Roe v Wade, etc. Biden set Trump up for the push on immigration with his own rampant deportation program, failing to shut down Gitmo, non-action on legalizing drugs, and ramping up of police budgets under his admin.

        There’s clear continuity of agenda between the admins. I don’t deny that there’s a difference, but if you think the difference is significant enough that your political calculus is anywhere in the realm of “we need a Democrat again but good” then you need to read Lenin’s Bourgeois and Proletarian Democracy.

          Yes there is, dems are the part of the ratchet that stops things from swinging back further left. The two party system is entirely broken. But being complicit is very different from being eager. Right now, more Palestinians are dead then could have been. I’d prefer no dead palestinians, but given thats not on the table right now I will take less genocide. Anything that results in less dead innocents.
