  • Idk if anyone is saying they’ll vote for trump over Biden because they think he will be better for genocide or for people in the states.

    Saying Biden and the Democrats are enabling genocide and watching it happen is not the same thing as saying “we will vote for trump”

    It’s calling out people and hoping they do better.

    But I guarantee you if Biden loses the election this November, all the pieces will be about why black and brown and Muslim voters didn’t come out, rather than examining why an absolutely massive proportion of white people vote for trump and the Republicans at every turn even though they’re destroying the country.


  • The idea that Hamas is hiding behind innocent people has been completely disproven by the fact that Israel just keeps bombing people with impunity.

    On top of that, it’s a bit wild to talk about how evil Hamas is when Netenyahu and his government quite literally, without hiding it, spoke about how they fund Hamas because they know it makes a Palestinian state harder to come to. Hamas would not be half the issue it is if it wasn’t for the Israeli government.

    Also, when you live in a place that’s about two miles wide and 26 miles long, you are guaranteed to be among the civilian population. The reason they are there is because of Israel in the first place.

    On top of that, resisting an armed occupation with violence is not a crime.

    If you are facing constant apartheid, it is natural to hate the instigator of the apartheid. That happened in South Africa, it happened in India, it’s happened all over the world.

    Finally, Israel keeps stating there are thousands of miles of tunnels under Gaza, with very little evidence of that. There is evidence that THEY built the tunnels and rooms under the hospitals. New York City is almost twice the size of Gaza. The New York subway does not have the miles of tunnels that Israel says exist in Gaza. It doesn’t make any physical sense that they would have that many tunnels

    I’m not defending October 7th at all, but let’s not act like this all began with Palestinians and not Europe just kicking a bunch of Arabs out of their homes because of something EUROPEANS did in the first place.






  • At the same time, apparently the distress call went out moments before. A ship that size is not going to be able to turn in time, and a ship that weight is going to impart a hell of a lot of force even if moving slowly.

    Someone very well may have fucked up, I would say the chances are pretty high, but I feel like that happened well before the power went out


  • I’ve voted in every election that’s taken place since I was old enough to. When it comes down to it, I’d still vote for biden, because I agree, having the democratic party in charge is way better than having the republicans in charge.

    However, that also gives me pause. Because you shouldn’t be able to run on “hey I’m not as shitty as the other guy”

    That’s what I hate about the two party system. Democrats by and large are not progressives. They prop up the current system just as much as anyone else. There needs to be an actual progressive party, and massive caps/bans on lobbying






  • A protest vote in the democratic primary will not elect trump. Biden is still getting the nomination. This is a vote to show him that a large segment of his base does not like what he’s doing.

    And it’s not just Palestine, though that is a HUGE part of it. He has not been a good president. He was the better choice in 2020, and he said he planned on being a 1 term president. He went back on that promise like he has on many others.

    But having a Biden Trump rematch is absolutely ludicrous for this nation, and both parties need to get their heads out of their capitalistic owners assholes.
