We have no popular vote in the US. I voted against trump, but not for the Democrats, because the result in my state was a forgone conclusion. You said that I should side with the democrats because it's important to have a popular front vs fascism, I pointed out that in this equation the US/Israel and the democrat/republican genocide coalition is the greater evil to be opposed by the rest of the world.

You never seem to be able to land a hit unless it's against a straw woman you've set up.

I'm the one going to the camps at this rate, tyvm.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago

One might be tempted to think you actually have no principles, and are operating purely on some weird internet circlejerk tribalism like most campists.

You are a campist who has chosen camp 1.

You are the one trying to get everyone to vote for your preferred genociders, I'm just a bystander 😇

If you’re trying to rationalize not voting as it not mattering just stop, you fucked up but it’s ok, don’t let the cognitive dissonance help them

I watched Bush get elected while losing the popular vote and he invaded two countries. You are welcome to think that Trump losing the popular vote would be meaningful, I don't think it matters.

If you’re trying to rationalize not voting as it not mattering just stop, you fucked up but it’s ok, don’t let the cognitive dissonance help them

If you're trying to sway me with this, just stop you fucked up, but it's ok.

I have extensive criticism of the Dems and regularly post it - unfortunately, I don’t asspat people who support Nazis, which apparently makes me Hillary Clinton Incarnate or something.

Weird how that criticism doesn't extend to their complicity in an extremely public genocide. Rather than reflect on that loss you blame people who were literally nowhere near being in power because your preferred mass murderer lost.

Like I said, you’re a cynical operator, obviously nothing is going to change your mind.

How ironic.

I'm not the one running a snark comm about communists and claiming to be 'anti-fascist'

I wasn't being asked to vote for the Houthi though was I? They aren't being directly funded by my taxes like the US government and by association Israel.

They're just acting in opposition to our terrorist settlers, my support of their opposition doesn't extend to every action they take, quoting you:

Yes, under the same principles as WW2. I would probably be telling people that supporting the British Empire or the USA or the Soviet Union was non-negotiable despite all being imperialist genocidal states.

Supporting enemies of the US and Israel is following the same principles as supporting the enemies of Nazi Germany without necessarily approving of everything they do.

Holy fucking shit.

This is a Republican level take on the powers of the President.

Damn straight I'm for a unitary executive giving everyone healthcare and housing

“The people in power weren’t entertaining enough for me to vote against murdering minorities!”

The people (who were) in power were too complicit for me to view them as serious opposition.

Sitting with your thumb up your ass is a common idiom. Like, you know, ‘touch grass’.

I will take your word for it. Still seemed like a weird comment.

So literally affirming my accusation. Jesus Christ.

Are you able to even criticize the democrats? All you seem to do is rage about people who aren't as genocidal as you are.

Like I said, you're a cynical operator, obviously nothing is going to change your mind.

(by giving them a rounding error in their budget) 😊

It took several months of several carrier groups as well, don't forget. They're just doing what they're capable of, which is clearly not enough to warrant that level of response.

Apparently you don’t give a shit about genocide or executing LGBT folk either.

That's literally what Israel is doing with multiple US aircraft carriers and endless ammunition supporting it. I oppose Israel because I'm directly implicated in that one. Just because I want to see Israel and the US lose doesn't mean I approve of everything their enemies do, per the original quote from you about 'popular front'

Oh no, cratering international shipping and hurting free trade opposing a genocidal settler state 🎻

I'm an anarchist lol why do you think I would care about free trade

[the article literally outlines the Biden adminstration’s attempts to stop Medicaid disenrolment by the states]

yeah because they'll spin anything, Biden was fucking president he could have just said "oh no there's actually still COVID, keep everyone on medicaid"

Golly gee, I wonder why I might blame people who opted to let literal Nazis win in order to worsened a genocide they supposedly oppose??

The people who were in power are the only ones to blame for their own loss. You are a cynical operator though, so keep on blaming everyone except those losers. Maybe it will work one of these times.

… or is it by the votes of the electorate?

If you don't do heinous evil shit maybe people will vote for you. simple as. The Biden/Harris admin decided that levelling Gaza was more important than winning.

So exactly as I said - you’d sit with your thumb up your ass

weirdly sexual comment but ok

let the Nazis genocide everyone they wanted, because opposing Nazis is too much of a burden on your poor wittle soul.

once more, this is on the Democrats for their incompetent governance. They refused to do anything meaningful to stop Israel, refused to do anything slightly meaningful economically because the parliamentarian said no, and we all get to pay the price.
