Just in case it wasn't obvious, Israel offered him a big chunk of real-estate in exchange for supporting their genocide.
What did they offer Biden? Or did he do it for free?
Biden isnt in office.
Oh but he is. In their mind.
Crimes do not disappear. Would you also be ok with Trump not being held accountable once he is no longer president?
He was in office for the first year and change.
Your reply is intellectually dishonest, and you know it.
Also, your last few comments are replies to me. Are you stalking me or something? Given that it's on different subs, seems like more than just chance.
You're not that important, get over it.
Apparently important enough for you to leave a reply to two of my comments.
/not sure how your comment is even relevant to this discussion, but whatever
Hi I'm a scary stalker replying to your comment, wooga wooga!
Lol, you aren't the same person (unless you're an alt?).
My point is that getting a few comments from the same person on different subs that are all snide or bad faith / specious arguments is going to raise suspicions. I am unlikely to have even noticed if the comments didn't come off like someone trying to argue for the sake of arguing.
Thanks for the bit of levity.
:D
All accounts on Lemmy are actually just you and one other guy
As opposed to bringing up specious arguments like "what about this guy who is longer in power" in threads about trying to actually accomplish something? Or arguments about how something doesn't apply to a situation because it doesn't specifically apply to you?
Perhaps your own arguments are made for arguments sake and others just respond in kind. Take stock of your own life before blaming others for your shortcomings.
Yours is fear mongering and whattaboutism. The problem we currently face is not someone who is no longer actively in politics, and constantly bringing it up as though dealing with it now is going to make any kind of difference is intellectually dishonest.
We need to deal with the situation we have now, not what has happened before. Doing otherwise is little more than distraction.
And as far as my last few comments... perhaps you just make a lot of comments worth replying to? I honestly dont pay that close attention to it.
It'll be a problem in 2 years when Democrats run an unwinnable candidate like Holocaust Harris again and JD Vance wins the election.
Would you rather talk about it now or then?
"There is nothing to be learned from the past, we must be strictly reactionary." Truly a liberal approach, I'll give you that much.
I do not understand why you are calling "holocaust Harris" someone that wasn't against selling weapons used by someone else with the explicit intention of doing a genocide (she knew but she was ok with that) BUT you're NOT doing the same to the other one, which instead is actively planning the final solution???
Because it's important to call out every genocidaire but I assume no one here is so incredibly stupid as to support Trump. Just stupid enough to support Dems. So calling out Trump would just be preaching to the choir.
Report the stalking. That is what I did for mine. They might get banned from the community, or just have their comments deleted. Some people are just toxic.
How is this relevant, he's not in office. Trump is not less of a corrupt fraud because of someone else.
It's relevant because people on this website are desperate to pretend Democrats are in any way redeemable, a notion which should be cut down at every opportunity.
And that attitude is what got us Trump 2.0 lol
No, I know Blue MAGA struggles with facts, but this is very basic, elementary-school level math: Trump would've won even if Holocaust Harris got every single third party vote. Your party's refusal to accommodate left-wing populism as represented by Bernie Sanders got us Trump 2.0 because the DNC instead ran an unwinnable candidate who sounded like a drunk aunt at all times and got predictably steamrolled by right-wing populism, the only form of populism permitted by the oligarchs who own both parties.
I'm not arguing that Harris was a great candidate, but that inducing voter apathy is a republican strategy. Republican voters are pretty consistent which is why higher turnout = democrat victory more likely.
Not sure why you're calling it my party, I voted for social democrats in the last local election. I'm not American.
The "both parties are the same" line is a tried and true republican strategy to win elections.
That's why I always say the American left should focus on real change between presidential elections, but shut the fuck up when the candidate has been announced. The right gets it. Did you hear a single conservative voice criticise Trump after he was nominated? I didn't. Even though before he was nominated the first time, many did.
Maybe the Democrats should stop proving that they're right then.
If you think Democrats are "left", you should probably learn a lot more about American politics before speaking on it.
The DNC is where leftist / progressive movements go to die. Leftists don't want unity with Democrats. Democrats are capitalist, Zionist dogs whose vision of the world is fundamentally contradictory to socialism, communism, anarchy, or whatever your preferred flavor of revolutionary thought is.
Democrats ARE the American left. Point me to a party that has the voter numbers to win elections over both then and the republicans. There is none. Most people don't want a communist revolution because they don't want the inevitable dictatorship that's part of it. It's kinda like the current dictatorship, but there's even less you can do about it.
You ain't effecting change by running interference in a first past the post system. All you're doing is getting Trump elected. All the ICE victim blood is on the hands of not just those who voted for Trump, but also those who didn't vote at all.
The party itself needs to be changed from within. You can't just tell people to stay home or vote third party because that's how you get the cheeto that wants to cancel elections.
You understand why it is relevant and are being willfully ignorant.
Nu-uh you are comparing two very different situations as if what Biden did or intended is even close to what trump is doing.
Biden is likely a true believer like most democrats (and republicans for that matter), Trump is the one who needs to be paid off.
He was a true believer in Zionism. But he was also the largest AIPAC recipient which didn’t hurt.
Given Biden's belief system he did in fact do it for free yes .
Didn’t you hear? Genocide Joe was successfuly stopped, that’s why everything is going so great now
Almost like both parties serve fundamentally the same goals and the working class will be ground underfoot regardless of whether it's the right boot or the """left""" boot.
Inserts everything is fine meme
Thank god Kamala didn't get in (/s for morons)
He is just a cynical sell out, he's an old dog, and rolling over for treats is his go to move, along with barking at the left and prostrating himself before the right. He's a submissive pee-er too. He was chosen for those known quantities.
He did it for the love of the party
(He was also not the one in power when this started in the 40s, your point is moot)
