EDIT: READ THE SIDEBAR BEFORE COMMENTING HERE

There’s now going to be a war against Iran, and the US media is portraying Iran as the aggressor, even though Israel blew up Iran’s embassy. THAT should have been a call to end support for the genocidal ethnostate of Israel and call for a ceasefire, but instead we’re doubling down on support.

Also, friendly reminder that Israel would not be able to do this without US support. Biden could have ended this, but chose not to.

What is your defense now? How can you still justify supporting this genocidal maniac? How low is too low for you? How much suffering is too much? How many lives have to be ended or destroyed because of Biden? How much is enough that you are willing to protest, speak out against it, or at the very least not defend it in some deranged manner with “aT lEaSt He’S nOt TrUmP.” People are dying. Imagine being the caliber of person who can excuse this and say this, or even approve of him and say he’s doing well.

Literally the only way to look the other way is by convincing yourself that Iranians and Palestinians aren’t really human. “Scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds” – maaaannnn I used to think this was a bit overstated, but it’s really no exaggeration at all, is it?

Edit: Lol at the right-wing neolibs who can’t help but parrot their genocide-defending bullshit in spaces where they’re not welcome. Thanks for providing examples of exactly what this post is about. Imagine thinking the person who is literally making a genocide possible is also the person who is “best for Palestinians.”

    No one said Trump is better, and you’re defending someone who’s committing a genocide. Thanks for providing an example of the type of fascist-enabling rhetoric we keep hearing from liberal centrists, though. Really validates my post.

      They’re not defending Biden personally, and they’re not saying you shouldnt protest. They’re saying “Don’t forget, on election day you still have to go and vote for Biden because Trump will be worse”. Unless you’ve got a better proposal on how to handle the election specifically, their point is perfectly relevant and doesn’t undermine anything in your post.

        I don’t have a clear answer other than dissolving the United States, which would do the world a whole lot of good. Saying “I intend to vote for Biden because…” is fine; saying “you need to vote for Biden” is not.

        They’re saying “Don’t forget, on election day you still have to go and vote for Biden because Trump will be worse”

        This is not allowed, per the rules:

        Discussion, not debate. It’s okay to ask someone to elaborate on an idea, but most communities shout down leftists and post-leftists, and that’s not supposed to happen here.

        One of the reasons I created this community is because I noticed that communities that try to welcome right-wingers and centrists tend to shout down leftists, attack strawpeople, and constantly “whatabout.” Specifically, I’ve noticed a tendency to go “whatabout Trump” every time Biden is mentioned. This is not okay and will be removed on sight. This stifles discussion.

            “Whatabout Trump” is literally a silencing tactic by *centrists (no leftists use it)

            There are plenty of communities where that shit is tolerated, and this one was created expressly to have a place to discuss things productively without that horseshit
