Lmao I'm glad I'm not alone in getting it stranger. Thanks 😊
"We should end genocide somewhat"
Literally the Biden position. Which is a mild milquetoast lukewarm moderate take on an issue that should be far more serious.
But I guess Trump's "We should intensify and start new genocides" is more appealing.
The extent to which he's done this (not much) he's been dragged there by protests and complaints from voters. Literally what the people you're criticising are doing.
You could not be more like the meme if you tried. Only an idiot would vote Trump because of this. Most people are just pissed off at Biden for what you describe as his mild, milquetoast moderate take on the issue. It's almost like you agree but you still shame people with "Trump would be worse" as if 95% of us complaining don't already know that.
I expect better from Biden. That's it. If we can't criticise him for this dogshit policy then when can we?
There's a vast fucking difference between criticizing him for his Israel policy and peddling "both sides" and "I'll never vote for Joe!" shite, or throwing a fit over being told that sitting by and letting Trump win is literally just voting for more genocide, regardless of whether you pissed away your vote in Green or Republican red.
Yes, and pretending that those people you describe represent a majority or even a substantial proportion of the people criticizing him is disingenuous and frankly insulting. Criticism is just that, criticism. And it is deserved.
On here? It's definitely a substantial minority. I'm not out on the streets bitching about Biden being attacked from the left - I'm on the Fediverse bitching about it.
And we're only complaining on the Fediverse too. About something pretty fair to complain about.
I think the amount here that say "they're both the same" or will actually vote Trump is very small.
Not voting I can understand a lot more but obviously not a good decision pragmatically
I think the amount saying "They're both the same" is far too large on here, and is a sentiment that, like in 2016, has great opportunity to be exploited by fascists to eke out a narrow victory.
