I mean... folks got a kick out of covfefe, but no one really lost their shit over it; and Biden's approval ratings have been dropping since we started pouring Palestinian blood onto our hands, so idk if I'd call it a blind eye... while I would have expected a harsher response from the general pop, they're not outright ignoring it.

And in the general pop's defense, being vocal about disapproval like my original post here might be a dumb move anyway, cuz the absolute worst thing the US could do to Palestine, and Ukraine, and the fucking US, is to put Trump in charge again; so now might be time to just shut up and take the SIGNIFICANTLY lesser evil. I hate it, but that's the nature of our political system.

The ones turning a blind eye are the ones demanding everyone but Republicans need to vote for him. The ones that genocide is not a red line. Genocide and increasing poverty is not the lesser evil. This is bullshit liberals tell themselves to accept an ever growing evil that's gotten so large someone like Trump became a possibility.

Liberals did this to us, liberals have us Trump

The DNC gave us Trump. Liberals have been pissed off at this bullshit for decades, but our options are:

  • Less genocide (but still genocide)
  • More genocide
  • Spoiler (more genocide)

 

So which one are you advocating for here?

More genocide is speculative and hyperbole. Trump is shit but Biden is equally shit.

Simple solution, if you don't want trump, pressure your party to primary Biden. Or elect trump and push him left, like voters claimed they could do with Biden. Edit sp

More genocide is speculative and hyperbole. More genocide is shit but less genocide is equally shit.

Simple solution, if you don’t want more genocide, pressure your party to primary less genocide, greatly increasing the odds of electing more genocide. Or elect more genocide and watch as he commits more genocide.
