olivebranchlesser of two evils
21 day old account. Most posts are about not voting in the election to support Palestine.
While what’s happening in Gaza is genocide, this account smells like a Russian shill trying to spread FUD in the form of memes.
The key part of diplomacy is not running around telling everyone what’s being discussed in private. We shouldn’t hear about potential deals until they are decided on. If Trump wins, he’ll do the same thing Israel is currently doing to eliminate Hamas - which is to go through the Palestinian people.
If Biden listens more then does popular things, the effect won’t be in Putin’s interest. Just saying.
Biden needs to pull voters from Trump.
There are two types of Democrat voters today. Those who will suck it up and vote for him because he’s not trump, and those who will find some excuse to not vote for him because he’s not perfect. If he does the right thing for Palestine, they’ll complain it wasn’t fast enough, or they’ll complain about his stance on marijuana, or on the environment, or on some other random thing.
Did you just call a genocide imperfect? What would a perfect genocide look like?
Meh… the Holocaust could have been better. Listen, Biden’s doing a genocide, he’s not perfect.
Yes yes, genocide is super bad. Totally agree.
If you could point me to a candidate with a realistic chance to win that has no genocide, I’m happy to vote for them. But last I checked we were in the United States which has first past the post voting, so we don’t get that option. We don’t vote FOR candidates, we vote AGAINST the ones we like least.
I would be thrilled if I was somehow wrong, and would love for you to help me understand.
Congress and Republicans will limit or regress (see Roe ) any improvements by the population. The system was set up to limit the power of the people.
The reality is that only a consistent strong social movement can influence the ruling powers. They know this. So with media and consumerism, they have created a Controlled Opposition, with the illusion of concessions. There is a reason wealth inequality is worse than the gilded age of the robber barons, but there are no revolts.
Our society is too polarized and fragmented to effect real change. Voting for Biden is like using buckets 🪣 of water to keep the boat afloat. We’re still sinking.
It will take a catalyst. An economic crash, natural disaster, another pandemic, etc. to provide the space for mobilization to effect change through organization. Everyone is sleeping on the climate crisis and the droughts, food shortages and mass migration that will eventually cause global destabilization. That’s why inflation is here to stay and the rich are building bunkers. They know the jig is up and are planning accordingly.
Vote for the lesser evil, or don’t, it won’t stop the boat from sinking. I would love to be wrong; I hope I am.
If Voting Made Any Difference, They Wouldn’t Let Us Do It
<p>Whether you vote or don’t vote doesn’t really matter. What matters is what else you’re doing to push back against government incompetence, abuse, corruption, graft, fraud and cronyism. Don’t be fooled into thinking that the only road to reform is through the ballot box.</p>
So you think that has a realistic chance of happening before November?
☂️-no, it should have been happening already.
the second best time to organize is now.
Sure, trump has never genocided anybody. Im not saying hes not trash, but, no genocide.
He’s only promised to turn this country into a directorship…
I mean you can be happy you SUCK TO THE MAN with your last chance to vote in your lifetime.
But he hey you win!
