lol what democracy?

Whether a country is a democracy or not depends on whether its people are really the masters of the country. If the people are awakened only for voting but enter a dormant period soon after, if they are given a song and dance during campaigning but have no say after the election, or if they are favored during canvassing but are left out in the cold after the election, such a democracy is not a true democracy.

Quote is too generous. ‘A or B’ is not being master of the country, nor is anyone really favored during canvassing either.

That being said, it shows what an incredibly low bar western democracy doesn’t clear.

This narrative of “trump will be worse for palestine” is dogshit when the status quo is already an exterminationist genocide.

What’s he gonna do? Double genocide? Fucking libs are so stupid.

They think Trump would nuke Gaza for one thing. They can’t think of the reality of that, or they think Israel would want a nuke going off in what they consider their own territory.

They can’t fathom another Trump presidency outside of complete apocalypse. The reality is too painful for them: Biden and Trump are the same person and their presidencies have been largely the same. The only difference is Biden is less funny.

Nuking gaza is no fucking different to bombing it until there’s nothing and nobody left.

I do not give a shit who is doing the genocide. It’s genocide. You can’t go higher.

If their argument is instead that Trump will be more competent as a military leader than Biden and Palestine would have a harder time resisting … is that really the line they wanna go for? That Biden is less competent than Trump?

It also completely disregards who Biden is and his history of being a genocidal warmongering maniac

Yea unironically good if Trump “hands over” Ukraine to Russia.

Also pulling U.S out of NATO? U.S. is NATO.

Of course. Somehow libs cling to the delusion that all those countries are equal members, because power doesn’t exist in their world - at least when its inconvenient for them

Ukraine wants to join NATO so that Estonia will protect it from Russia. Everyone knows that.

I guess the logic is NATO = good, Republicans = bad, therefore Republicans(bad) don’t like NATO(good)

say it with me:

abstaining from voting is not the same as voting for republican

voting a third party is not the same as voting for republican

the democrats never had my vote in the first place because they dont care about me and want me to die. well and also because im not american, but you know.

They’re basically admitting that they consider themselves entitled to everyone’s vote by default.

They don’t care. Their whole world view is based on them being the “good people.” That’s why they never have to reevaluate their positions, and believe that they “can’t fail, the can only be failed.”

I used to like/tolerate some of my city-level Dems for some half-decent stuff they did with the schools and infrastructure, but then they started saying bombing hospitals was self defense and even they lost me.

I’m glad to see that people on hexbear talk less about supporting local democrats these days. I used to be involved in local politics, and the local democrats are just as shitty as the state and national ones.

Tell me how Biden will stop any of those things happening when he failed to even stop trans and abortion bans?

Say it with me: If Biden loses, it was his failure to appeal to the left that caused it.

The Democrats have done everything in their power to burn bridges with the left. They have made it very clear that they are not our allies. If they want peoples votes, they will have to earn it. That is democracy.
