What a performative clown. Your fucked dude. Just focus on Gaza and getting Bibi out of power.

Yeah, that fucking clown of a politician trying to create policies that would only benefit his voters (well and everyone else, but clearly he doesn’t care about those people). If this passed, and thankfully it won’t because the Republicans in congress will be sure to protect the public, then it might actually get him reelected because people might think that he was good for the majority of Americans. That would be so awful.

Some people also seem to think the entirety of our political structure is only in DC and can only focus on one thing at a time.

More is happening and going on than just the situation in Gaza. And actions in that direction unfortunately take time to happen.

No. Biden is a capitalist. He serves money first and voters second. American people in general are dead last.

Because nowhere else in the world matters, right? There are no horrors happening anywhere else so the American election should depend solely on what’s happening in Gaza? Personally, I would love to see Bibi out of power and the Palestinian people freed from tyranny, but opposing Biden’s reelection will have absolutely no positive impact on the likelihood of that happening. In fact, if Trump gets in he has said he’ll support Israel’s campaign in Gaza. Undermining Biden will not get you what you want. Trump and a Republican congress would help Israel wipe out the Palestinian people completely.

Now, if you really want to help make the world a better place, start opposing Republican candidates at every level and start supporting progressive candidates who will work to change the whole world instead of just the tiny portion of it that worries you most right now.

Establishment democrats are supporting Republican candidates in order to block progressives. Also, while we’re at it, here are a few things that Biden did all on his own fucking over progressive and leftist efforts.

You actually quoted me saying your should be supporting progressive candidates and reply with a list of things that “establishment democrats” have done or are doing. What’s your point exactly?

I love how politicians become “very nice” and “active” when it’s elections time 😂 Like, my brother, you’ve been in this spot for 4 years, why are you just calling for these fucking obvious things? Also, yes, mother fucker, stop the fucking genocide first before anything.

And the smoothed brain cheerleaders here just gobbling it up.

Bro its an election year. Precisely 0 legislation will be getting passed. You had your chance at one bill Biden and if you didn’t get it into that bill, it wasn’t a priority to you.

This is the mechanism that politicians use to lie. The only people this kind of wag the dog propaganda works on are people who are already voting for Biden, but its the 18-36 year olds he’s lost right now. Its the tiktok generation who have watched the atrocities their meager wages have paid for in taxes he needs to get. And no, a lip-servicing isn’t gonna do it.

Absolutely. Couldn’t have said it better. I’m so fucking sick of “see, the other guy is bad, elect me” while doing less than the bare minimum. No, fuck face, go get fucked. Biden ran on public option in healthcare, and haven’t beeped a word about it ever since he got what he wanted. People are fucking drowning in student loans and medical debt and he couldn’t even keep the $10k student loans forgiveness and Medicaid got even more cut on his watch. Fuckers don’t give a single fuck about us. We are on our own, but like you said, they have their smoothed brain cheerleaders who are all over their dicks no matter what.
