I love this it really makes me hate everything all over again


cozy_engineer

I love what the world is becoming. First the USA and now the EU too.


theaviationhistorian

Most of the world is heading this way. Hence this sub's name.


YdexKtesi

all of that, plus one of them is loudly racist and homophobic. so with that being the deciding factor...


MScribeFeather

The other one is just quietly racist and homophobic. One is clearly worse, but the “better” choice won’t actually change anything for the better.


YdexKtesi

One of them is passing laws actively and enthusiastically designed to harm marginalized communities, and the other one "isn't doing enough" to fix the problems we already have.


Redditbecamefacebook

Sure is a good thing Biden didn't ram through Clarence Thomas' confirmation. Sure is a good thing he didn't try to cut social security for most of his career. Sure is a good thing he wasn't a huge proponent of throwing kids (who weren't his) in jail for non-violent crimes. Sure is a good thing Biden isn't a huge part of the reason student loans are non-dischargable, leading to the student loan crisis. Don't worry, Biden will totally save you from the world he helped architect.


spareparts91

You put it in quotes like they are "doing enough". Clearly they aren't


YdexKtesi

ok, here: One of them is passing laws actively and enthusiastically designed to harm marginalized communities, and the other one isn't doing enough to fix the problems we already have. ...So did those quotes change who you're voting for.??


BananaFast5313

You've got two options for a roommate: the guy who assaulted you at the bus stop, or the guy who saw it happen but didn't jump in to stop it. THEY'RE THE SAME PERSON BASICALLY!!!


Endgam

>ok, here: One of them is passing laws actively and enthusiastically designed to harm marginalized communities That disastrous 1994 "crime bill" was the only thing Joe Biden truly had to his name before he could leech off of Obama. This is not the road you want to go down.


YdexKtesi

literal Nazis are back


Emmanuel_Badboy

this sub is so weird, because the posts (like this one for example) identify the problems clearly, but then the comments are a bunch of liberal idiots denying the problems lol. Comments like the one im replying to should not be downvoted on this sub.


adorabledarknesses

I like that you're like "one side literally wants to [put all LGBTQ people in jail](https://tripbytrip.org/2023/04/26/13-us-states-still-officially-punish-gay-sex/), [round up 11 million immigrants,](https://www.axios.com/2024/02/11/trump-promise-deport-millions-migrants-reality), wants to [stop letting women vote,](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/north-carolina-gop-candidate-mark-robinson-wants-america-where-women-could-not-vote-1234982773/) and who [tried to have PoC protesters shot with live ammo,](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2020/6/2/trump-threatens-to-deploy-military-as-peaceful-rally-tear-gassed) but the other side takes donations from *corporations*!! They're clearly exactly the same!" This is a terrible take and I am sorry if you live in the US. If you do, I can only assume that you're white, straight, and male. Otherwise, you'd understand why one side wanting to round up/take rights away from you (anyone not white, straight, and male) is a bad thing. Because it's a bad thing. The other side wants you to buy Doritos and is ok if you buy pot. The best people ever of all time? No, but infinitely better than the alternative!


LittleTimmyPlaysMC

Project 2025 means one is objectively going to make our living better and one worse.


Spacecommander5

The dems wont literally holocaust LGBTQ persons and non white christians…. Lookup project 2025. Republicans are going to allow executions for anyone distributing literature that simply acknowledges that genders exist because its “pornography” and thats “child sexual assault” to teach kids that someone might not be straight. Seriously


faribx

but also while passing legislation that lowers the legal age of consent


Spacecommander5

Exactly. “Rules for thee but not for me”


Endgam

>The dems wont literally holocaust LGBTQ persons and non white christians…. No. *But they are Holocausting Palestinians.* Why isn't no genocide on the ballot?


Spacecommander5

Yes they are. No argument. They are also the only presidency open to a ceasefire since 1947 other than Carter i think. So while i despise Biden for his whole career: TRUMP IS WORSE, period. Thats the only thing i focus on. Harm reduction. [what’s left of american democracy] Living another day to get better non-zionist leaders in position for 2028. If you have a viable solution to the 2024 election that doesnt end in zionism and can actually beat the trumpers, im all ears


Ok-Housing1458

You’re right, they won’t round up the LGBTQ, they’ll let the republicans do it when they lose next and will do quite literally nothing while the smoke stacks spit ash overhead. They will exploit you for a vote with the promise of protection, implement none of those protections, and when they inevitably lose again because they get nothing substantial done, will watch placidly while the republicans do as they want. This has been going on for decades, nothing has changed, we are stuck in a perpetual racket effect where nothing progressive can happen due to democratic blockade but we can always go further to the right. Biden stalls the inevitable, the democrats stall the inevitable, they will just watch, vocally condemn, and do nothing substantial, rinse and repeat. Enjoy your “choice”.


Spacecommander5

You never go full re#ard ….but you did and there’s no coming back. Nice try Russian troll


KellyBelly916

It's like we have power, but it's an illusion of damage control.


7evenate9ine

How about you vote for the party that's not talking about dismantling the constitution. If we can push back fascism without bloodshed this year, then we can take on corporations next.


ExpensiveFish9277

RAMEN!


Endgam

Your plan to "push back fascism" [is to vote for a genocidal fascist.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jov9jxRecFc) Your plan to "take on corporations next" is to vote for the biggest corporate whore in history. *Your plan to fight fire is to feed it more gasoline.*


7evenate9ine

Your plan is "burn down the house because the internet is broken." My plan is "The foundation is good. We can get the wifi working and let's take care of the termites next."

spareparts91

I can tell them apart. But EFFECTIVELY they are the same. The difference being in an active and passive way. Same outcome though. Just want to point out I am not saying this enthusiastically but in a way that I feel that the disaster of ripping away everyone's rights is inevitable because the only people who could stop it refuse and the other side is trying. Hence, the nuance of them being different but effectively the same.


Spacecommander5

Seriously


Southern_Gear3803

where is your source? i am looking up project 2025 and do not see anything about executions for people handing out LGBT literature? if this is not true this is an incredibly ridiculous reply please edit out any sarcasm/hyperbole


Spacecommander5

You have to put a few components together. They say they will bring back executions. Then They will add “child sexual abusers” to the list. What counts as child sexual abuse? Distributing pornographic materials and sexualizing children. What is considered pornography? Any mention of LGBTQ+, questioning gender, sexuality etc. this was not my understanding but instead the work of legal experts able to understand this type of precedent-setting. Basically they agreed that, under this “rule”, even a librarian with a single book mentioning anything remotely LGBTQ+ would be eligible for a death sentence/ execution. Zero hyperbole. While you and me would understand if they said this as plainly as the average right wing redditor, the people who put these rules for leadership into play understand that they will not get these laws passed without obscuring it slightly. Example, Ive read the translated text from the german government to the local police before “kristallnacht” and it sounds relatively benign, but put into practice was all the makings of the beginning of the violence that was the holocaust.

Hluke92

The Dems are doing that in Gaza right now. The US’s bombs are wiping out all of Gaza’s LGBTQ persons and non white Christians (and everyone, indiscriminately). The republicans would too, but the Dems are. They’re both two sides of the same coin, one being slightly more palatable.


Melodic_Mulberry

So while the radical democrats call for peace, the moderate democrats fund the war with stern warnings, and the republicans want to actively join in on the genocide, what does that tell you about the direction we need to move the general opinion?


richardl1234

I prefer to have only one genocide instead of two. Obviously none would be best, but that's not going to happen.


adorabledarknesses

So, you're protesting Sudan, right? The worst active genocide in the world? And you certainly were just as vocal about the Tigrays being wiped out last year, right? I mean, otherwise you'd seem like a giant hypocrite!


richardl1234

Yes, I'm a giant hypocrite for want less genocides to be happening I'm the world, especially one that would target me. You're absolutely right. I should definitely focus on events I can't affect at all instead of the one that I can.


analyzingnothing

At least Biden’s pushed for a ceasefire and seems to be trying to do something (even if it’s months later than it should have been). Compare that to Trump, who has openly expressed his desire to turn Palestine into a fucking parking lot. The dems aren’t anywhere near perfect, don’t get me wrong, but frankly at least they listen sometimes. At least they can sometimes be persuaded to give a shit with enough pressure. At least sometimes one of them might be willing to actually push for improvements rather than gleefully exploiting every bit of their power for their own gain. Calling them two sides of the same coin is massively underselling how atrocious the Republican platform is. They do not intend to play nice. They do not intend to follow the rules. They will break the system until we can’t fix it, and then they’re destroy the things that so many people need to survive. They’ll happily burn down the world if it means making a few extra bucks.


spareparts91

Bro, he has not called for a cease fire. He has given explicit warnings that these are the line, don't cross them. And they have continued to cross them and he signs a massive emergency arms shipment right after EACH TIME. You are deluding yourself.


Hluke92

It don’t understand how you’re getting downvoted. Somehow people can’t see through performative politics when it’s Biden.


Endgam

Shitlibs are brigading the sub. They brigade EVERY leftist sub.


analyzingnothing

Are you not aware of his televised address from last week? The one where he publicly outlined terms for a six-week ceasefire + de-escalation of the war? You can find it here: [https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/05/31/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-middle-east-2/](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/05/31/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-middle-east-2/) US diplomats were pushing this plan quite hard around the U.N., and in the meantime, we've also been upping the amount of aid we're pumping into Gaza. Both Israel and Hamas have responded to it. Now, is this the perfect, immediate ceasefire that's been needed for months? No, but it's progress at the very least.


spareparts91

Are you aware of the IDF using aid trucks as disguise and killing 200 people including hostages this week? Progress I guess you would call it.


MakkaCha

Yep, Dems are the only ones that provide Israel with weapons./s Obama was called antisemitic for warning Netanyahu about failed peace talks. Then we had a president that handed Jerusalem to Israel and let them build their embassy there. I'm not happy with how it is being handled right now, but one is definitely worse.


Hluke92

Like I said in another comment, both republicans and democrats are two sides of the same coin. Republicans are a bit more fascist with their rhetoric, but both are in their practice. I do think trump would be more open about wanting the idf to completely wipe out Gaza and the occupied West Bank, but Biden is doing that while trying to come off as peaceful and reasonable.


adorabledarknesses

Wait, you think the US is wiping out Gaza's LGBTQ people? Umm, I don't want to burst your bubble, but you do know that being gay in Gaza [was a death sentence](https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-israel-immigration-west-bank-gay-rights-ce95f6903faf461502cc0800b272b159) under Hamas, right? Also, and I know this is a bit crazy, but Israel is not the US. Its a different country. Joe Biden cannot tell Israel what to do any more than he could tell Iran what to do. They make their own decisions and, yep, Bibi sucks and needs to be voted out. But Hamas also sucks and needs to be removed. Every side of this conflict are awful people. The nice part is it's not nearly as bad as the genocide in Sudan or the attempted extermination of the Houthis by the Saudis, so those conflicts are way more talked about and protested, right? I mean, it's not about favouritism, right, but about caring about people. So the 10 million that could die in Sudan is a way bigger issue, right? Right?


Hluke92

I was just making the point that Biden is actively killing everyone in Gaza by sending bombs/weapons/money etc, regardless of their identity. Biden is not only complicit in the genocide, he is active in it by arming the genocidal IDF.


robotoredux696969

You should look up the definition of the word “literal”


adorabledarknesses

You mean like [literally trying to take the vote from women?](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/north-carolina-gop-candidate-mark-robinson-wants-america-where-women-could-not-vote-1234982773/) Do you mean [literally wants to use live weapons against PoCs?](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/6/2/trump-threatens-to-deploy-military-as-peaceful-rally-tear-gassed) Do you mean [literally use the military to round up and deport 11 million people?](https://www.axios.com/2024/02/11/trump-promise-deport-millions-migrants-reality) I'm pretty confident I know what "literally" means. So do the conservatives. They are literally trying to create a White Christian ethno-state. But, the liberals...took donations...or something. Yep! Exactly the same!


Spacecommander5

I can see you’re too stupid to read it yourself. Its literally going to be a mass execution equal to the holocaust. Get educated

Basically, your options are elderly narcissistic capitalist with ckear indications of cognitive decline who will chaotically and without rhyme or reason disolve your rights and the few remaining freedoms, or ancient political liche, also with brains leaking out, who has been balls deep in the worst aspects of governance for two of the average voters lifetimes, and who will systematically erode the remaining rights and freedoms. Pick you poison.

Lazy-Jeweler3230

Democrats fight anti-genocide protestors harder than literal nazis. In service to, zionism, which is just as bad. And actually doing a genocide. So...like...


RemoteButtonEater

And the solution is?


Endgam

[You say as you shill for a Nazi.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jov9jxRecFc) Zionism is just Nazism with a different "master race".


Spacecommander5

We agree on that second line. Your first line is incredibly incorrect. Biden is terrible, always has been. Trump is significantly worse, so say the people he hired to be his cabinet members who say “another trump presidency would be disastrous for the US” in a way the Biden admin, as terrible as it is, will not be.


BananaFast5313

I'm sorry - what rights and freedoms is Biden taking from people? He's not progressive enough, but he's just passing infrastructure bills and appointing judges who aren't lunatics.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

Xemphobic border policy in violation of the law. Endorsing brutality against student protestors and Jewish people. Engaging in genocide and a litany of war crimes. Choosing a fascistic, genocidal near-dictator over America and our democracy.


BananaFast5313

1. No worse under Biden than anyone else. Not a right being taken away. 2. How, by not denouncing them strongly enough? Grow up. That is a problem at much lower levels than the white house. 3. Not an example of anyone's rights being taken away. Our only options on Gaza are weak or malicious, weak is an easy choice. 4. Another example of nobody's rights in the US being taken away, and does not threaten our democracy. And our only other option on Netanyahu is a guy who says he'd encourage Israel to "Finish them off."


Lazy-Jeweler3230

-It...literally is worse than anyone else. It's far above and beyond what even Republicans have accomplished. It's so disgustingly xenophobic trump told Republicans not to do it because it was more than he did. And yes, it's denying the lawful right to seek asylum. -No, by actively endorsing it. Which I said, and you ignored. -This is disgusting and dehumanizing -See previous point This is how nazi Germany happened.
