You should ask the Gazans how Hitlerian they think Biden is ~if~ ~there's~ ~any~ ~left~
Dude fuck off, I'm sorry but there is no viable "tell Israel to get fucked" candidate. Biden isn't bombing Gaza personally, the US military isn't bombing Gaza. The GOP has showed they staunchly want to see it escalate and wipe Gaza off the map completely, this is a holy proxy war for them. Israel and its genocide has overwhelming support in US politics. None of this makes it right, but it does make it not a relevant issue in this presidential race.
You don't pick a candidate that shares every belief and opinion as you. You vote for the candidate which will do the least harm and the most good and only the frontrunners count as candidates and you know it.
It's nice to see that some people will morally compromise for "just a little genocide", either enacted or enabled (which is functionally the exact same). Must be so convenient and freeing to be so absent the weight of a conscience.
It must be so freeing to live a life so simple and ignorant that you think your little world can be zero harm and morally perfect while living a lifestyle that would be remotely sustainable for the world. The world is a big and scary place and a democracy is made up of a myriad of perspectives on the world. We all do the best we can with the choices we have. To pretend that we can accomplish anything by refusing to participate in an imperfect system is absurd fantasy.
By all means protest, organize etc toward noble goals. But don't act like "both candidates bad, myeh" is a real stance.
If both candidates support genocide then my moral line in the sand is crossed, no reasonable person who's against genocide can vote for either. But if genocide is on your list of ok things, then I'm sure it's a very complicated issue for you.
Don't worry, your mother and I will teach you about the basics about morality when you're an adult.
trump is pretty braindead at this point. I'm pretty sure if he was beheaded he would keep talking for several days but wouldn't make any less sense
I like to think this is what they used to convince him to step down.
This is anti Hitler propaganda, because you chose a pic where AH isn't smiling to make him look more hitler 😑
You got me. I confess: I have a bias against hitlers.
You know, I just realized I don't think I'd ever seen a picture of Hitler smiling.
So I looked it up. And there are plenty of them. And he looks...nice. Like, it's weird. He looks like the fun uncle. He looks like there should be a mockumentary of him where he's played by Steve Carell.
One of the big things they taught us in history lessons was how he came across very charismatic and that he was good at winning people over.
It's really important for people to understand and learn in order to not repeat the mistakes of populism, evil people don't generally go around shouting about how evil they are.
Kamala is literally a Hitler. Woman openly laughs at forced labor prisoner slavery. The difference between the actual nazis and her office as DA is that they targeted blacks and browns instead of jews. Idk why so many cucks are fangirling over her rn
This is a common layman misconception. The term "hitler" isn't actually based on how much the candidate engages in human rights abuses: it's just a marker of how widely voters recognize them as "hitler-y" (to use the technical term).
A fun fact: within the field of meme political science it's recognized that if we did apply a quantitative rubric, ALL of the US Presidents are actually hitlers!
