      I love when there’s a comment that’s so wrong it’s not even necessary to post anything disagreeing with it

      Like what’s the point. I’m gonna come in here with some kind of fact check like “As a matter of fact, Biden has NOT tried to order the National Guard to fire on the Palestine protestors with live ammunition! Or told his followers to attack the capitol to kill anyone who stands in the way of him seizing power anyway, if he loses in November. It’s a common misconception I know!”

      I genuinely cannot comprehend how uneducated and uninformed one must be to think Biden has done the same or worse than Trump LOL.

        Have you tried deliberately ignoring 2017-2021 and literally everything Donald has ever said, like that guy is?

        The problem is that from an anti-capitalist perspective, any pro-capital candidate is completely unacceptable. We have never really been given the option for anything else.

        Obviously there are degrees of wrong, but man, it really isn’t a good situation to be in to have to vote for one degree of wrong over the other. Even if it is multitudes of shades worse than the other.

        I don’t find it productive to blame the voter for our situation. All you are doing is alienating would-be allies on the left.

          That’s literally how democracy works. That’s the only possible way for it to work. You must compromise somewhere.

      You are either a Russian troll or you have fallen victim to the trolling and have been indoctrinated.

      Biden is orders of magnitude a better choice than Trump who is literally the closest political figure to Hitler I have seen in my life…

        How Israel tortures Palestinians

        Israeli officers went on to teach one method of torture to American occupation forces in Iraq torturing detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison.

        Dubbed “the Palestinian chair,” according to Eric Fair, a former American interrogator at the prison, the stress position has detainees crouch their bodies on the chair, with their weight centered on their thighs.

        “They call it the Palestinian chair,” Fair wrote in his memoir “Consequence,” referring to two American army sergeants.

        “They say the Israelis taught them how to build it during a joint training exercise. I assume it’s called the Palestinian chair because that’s who was forced to sit in it,” he wrote.

        “They say everyone breaks in the chair.”

        In his memoir, Fair describes the self-disgust he went on to live with having witnessed a detainee tortured in the Palestinian chair.

        “Witnessing a man being tortured in the Palestinian chair requires the witness to either seek justice or cover his face. … I’ll spend the rest of my life covering my face,” he wrote.

        “Having seen the Palestinian chair, it’s impossible to deny that it has all been wrong.”

          So we’re using Bush era torture to justify inaction against fascism? Idk man seems a little weird.

          I get voting isn’t enough and half the problem is people often limiting their involvement in society to a ballot once every four years, but I’d really like to prevent The Palestinian Chair from being used on anyone deemed an enemy of the state by a man who is talking about deporting 11 million people.

            Democrats have been wholly inactive on facsism. Weve held power for four years and should have done literally anything about the looming fascist threat instead of sitting on our hands. The fact that Trump is even on the ballot, and not behind bars, is a damning indictment of Democrats’ spinelessness in the face of problems.

            It should be horrifying that we’ve let democracy be on the ballot.

      It’ll be the same shit and more. We all know there is gonna be more. The Republicans are telling us to our face. Really is crazy how anti gun the democrats are even after the events of the last 8 years. Some of us aren’t privileged to be on the bottom of the Republicans hit list.

      First Past The Post voting: Heads we tie, tails we lose. Wanna play this game for the rest of our nation’s existence?
