We coulda had Bernie...
When you compare Biden to Trump vs. the effects on the Palestinians, were Trump president again, he would not just help the Israelis exterminate the Palestinians, but encourage them to do so quickly- as he’s already told Bibi to “finish it”. So your dichotomy is more than a bit disingenuous .
If our only standard is not a Republican, then everytime Republicans lower their standards, they lower the only other option’s standards too.
It’s not fucking sustainable.
Again, actions I support. These actions, however, are not mutually exclusive to voting in elections for the lesser evil. In fact, these actions are more substantially suppressed under the greater evil. The rational action then is to use all avenues available to oneself, including but not limited to voting for whichever of the two dominant parties is less detrimental to action on other avenues.
Once of the two dominant parties is objectively worse for the organization of the working class. Vote for the less worse party, while you organize and pressure the powers that be.
are not mutually exclusive to voting in elections for the lesser evil
I agree with that. This case though, presents two very evil options. You guys have been legalizing child labour again, building a theocracy and doing an ethnic cleansing in the middle east under the supposed lesser evil. They are accelerating fascism regardless of who wins, vote if you will but other avenues must be pursued if you are to keep your thin veil of civility.
Yes, orders of magnitude. The only real world scenario that’s relevant (because again, child labor and theocracy are purely Republican initiatives) is Palestine. Biden is trying to reign in Netanyahu within the latitude assisted him by existing, congressionally determined defense agreements and the complex geopolitical landscape of the middle east. Trump loves Netanyahu and thinks he should hurry up with the genocide already. That is orders of magnitude worse.
The tiny minority of socialists aren’t capable of rallying large swaths of the population into countrywide action, this is true. But they can sway a slim minority of non-conservatives to sit out on an already dangerously close race. All they have to do is shave off a percent or two here or there to seal our fate.
democrats are literally doing all these things, right now. and you really do think geopolitics justifies financing a big fascist for a genocide? cmon man. sitting in the nazi table isn’t a flex
people dont want to vote to biden because peoples actual lives are still slowly getting worse, and all they can do is pretend not to be commiting war crimes.
This is pointless. You’re making things up. Show me which Democrats are pushing child labor and theocracy.
Is target my life slowly get worse than rapidly get worse, which is the alternative. Slowly getting worse buys time for grassroots. Trump will come down on grassroots. This is very simple logic, under no circumstance is Biden worse for socialists than Trump. This is ridiculous and you’re being willfully obtuse.
what do you mean. democrats are commiting genocide in the middle east, torturing mexicans at the border, sending ukranians as cannon fodder.
and moving no muscle to stop any advance of the aforementioned fascism.
Republicans would accelerate genocide in the middle east, torture more Mexicans at the border, and genocide Ukrainians.
They are the ones actively advancing the aforementioned fascism. Like I said, the cover is between things slowly getting worse, and quickly getting worse. Slowly getting worse gives us more time to do something about it. Democrats losing is objectively worse for all your talking points, worse for Americans, wise for the world, and particularly worse for leftists.
I don’t know who’s side you think you’re on, but I certainly know what side your actions support. Either you’re deliberately trying to hurt the left, or you’ve unwittingly fallen for talking points that serve to hurt the left. I’m not interested in talking to propagandists or their feckless stooges.
