Trump will arrest all Palestine protesters on day 1 and promote REAL genocide in Gaza. All you anti-Biden assholes can eat a dick because that’s what you’ll get from orange Mussolini.
K, and how is that relevant?
In your mind, all these students were "Palestine protestsers" that hate Biden? Can you help us out here? Do you have a full thought you'd like to complete, or are you just scared and angry?
To everyone else, how did people learn absolutely nothing about politics, or even basic communication during the last 8 damn years? Yelling and nagging at people, even if you're right, will always come off as being an insufferable, annoying asshole to anyone that doesn't already agree with you and isn't interested in something you've immediately felt the need to put down because you think you already know what's important
There's plenty of good books out there for anyone interested in learning how to communicate with others, especially those you disagree with - I recommend You're Not Listening or I'm Just Saying as good starting points

Sure let's go!
Okay so how did we do? Let's have a look. 12 things on the list were in process before he started. 14 things that aren't really more than performative politics. 10 things that are just gifts to corporations with fun wrapping. Okay though how many actually good things did he pass that SCOTUS doesn't have a standing opinion against? 6, six things out of a list of 30. And they all come with giant asterisks. There's one thing on the list that's just straight progress and that's the NLRB Cemex decision. As always it comes down to democrats failing to reform the supreme court. They aren't willing to do the actual thing needed to stop living in a status quo set by republicans.
Completely unrealistic bullshit most of your whining isn’t even about Biden lmao. Brrrt my ass lol.
Well that's because roughly half of the list wasn't about Biden either, despite the try hard headline.

It is already a real genocide. Israel just bombed tents in Rafah, causing a child to be beheaded.
Nobody here said anything about biden, you're just insulting people unprompted.
Edit: What exactly are you trying to accomplish by posting this?
It is related. Moreover, can't blame him for preemptively calling out the typical bullshit and virtue signaling we've been seeing.
Do you consider virtue signaling to be inherently bad? Because I'm pretty sure his comment also qualifies as such.
That's not quite virtue signaling. He isn't proclaiming support of a good cause or expressing some distinct moral correctness, he is condemning a single perspective and common response in these posts. After all, we can infer his stance, though he makes no claim towards his beliefs, all we know is what he is against. It's a petty distinction, though I feel it helps move it away from virtue signaling.
But no, few things are inherently bad. Our interpretation and our meaning(s) behind our words or actions make them that way. Which is why people tend to fall heavily on one side of a discussion or another.
edit: I see I am getting some downvotes. I am happy to take criticism on this take. No easier way to learn than to challenge oneself to listen and then do.
I’m trying to highlight the distinction between Biden and Trump options. There are many on social media that are proclaiming they will not vote for Biden because he is “promoting genocide”. Despite the fact that every POTUS in the last 50 years has had this exact policy (supporting and providing weaponry to Israel). Despite the fact that Trump is actively in favor of genocide and fascism. The lesser of 2 evils is also known as “the better choice.”
To what end are you trying to highlight that distinction though? What is the goal or motivation for writing that?
The lesser of two evils is also known as “the better choice”.
Unlike some paying lip service about "red lines", my promises are real. My red line is genocide.
You can vote for your varying levels of evil, I will not vote for genocide.
Personally I think it's probably best for Americans to vote Biden, since that will give the left some more time to organize, but I get that it's just too much for some to swallow. I'm just glad I have actual options in my country.
It’s America, you don’t get the choice to vote against genocide.
Just like you don’t get the choice to vote against capitalism.
Democracy.
If yout live in a swing state, maybe. Those of us in solid states can vote however we like as our votes don't matter anyway
Great system we have
That's not what I was asking about, what did you hope to accomplish? Are you actually trying to convince people or did you just think you'd feel better if you did?
Yeah genius, they're out there protesting "Biden"
Because they aren't being arrested now? Did you have some kind of news feed that didn't show the police going after college kids with batons?
Your inability to understand the difference between much and few is embarrassing. Thanks for proving my point of lunatics asking for worse than now.
Joke's on you, I love dick!
I can't tell if you're here to instigate as a right wing psyop or because you have so much electoralism brainrot that you have to make everything about an election that is still months away when there are more important things happening right now. People are dying.
JFC, pick your topic to get over outraged about. 150,000 people die a day in the world. Burning fossil fuels is responsible for nearly 1 in 5 of those deaths. https://seas.harvard.edu/news/2021/02/deaths-fossil-fuel-emissions-higher-previously-thought
Get some perspective and realize that there are more important things happening right now. People are dying. All over the world.
Are you trying to prove my point? I'm not going into threads about protesting or sabotaging dirty energy infrastructure and freaking out about how activists and the people who support them are all Biden haters and being overall inflammatory. Telling me to get some perspective is cute when it's obvious you came to this thread focused on a single thing and ready to start shit, you didn't come here to gain any perspective.
Not related to the article, and anyway if Biden wanted my vote he should actually try to earn it rather than bash his opponent.
lol how dense do you have to be to not realize Biden is the most progressive president in the last 50 years. Progressive enough? Of course not. But the most progressive in your lifetime. Good luck cutting your nose off to spite your face lol.
Yes he has green policies. Doesn’t change the fact that he actively insulted the Arab and Muslim-American communities and broke campaign promises. He’s completely ignored both of our communities this time around, and instead of saying any positive stuff he did it seems all his campaign attempts to our community are about how bad Trump is. So to reiterate, if he wants MY vote he will have to actually address my community at some point, otherwise he is treating the campaign as if he can win without me and thus doesn’t need my swing state vote.
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/02/02/joe-biden-30-policy-things-you-might-have-missed-00139046
Your article gives examples like he cancelled Trump’s plan to repaint Air Force One. That affects me how?
Let me save you time. He made campaign promises to the Muslim community and broke multiple ones, then stayed silent for years despite rising Islamophobia and instead focused his administration only on anti-semitism. (Both are terrible but he ignored our community despite our equal fears) He then decided to make it worse by saying he has zero trust for Palestinians, only to privately say he meant Hamas but never corrected the record. So he helped murder relatives of people in my community, and the only outreach to us is saying Trump would be worse. This is supposed to motivate a community that 80% voted for him last time? He’s not a good person and if he loses it’s his own fault.
Executive order 13769. If you’re happy with Trump being worse then by all means, vote for Trump. You deserve him.
And once again rather than show me something positive about Biden you again talk about how bad Trump was. You proved my point.
The origins of this are almost certainly rooted in right-wing operative and foreign troll farms intending to sow defeatism and wedge-drive the Democratic coalition. The people promoting this have a tendency to fall into the category of either being the ones serving the kool-aid, or drinking the kool-aid.
What's more is that the right is trying so hard to use this moment to paint the left as being antisemitic. If Republicans didn't paint with such broad strokes the pro-Gazan civilian protests by pointing to fringe protesters — often from outside groups — this wouldn't have been a problem in the first place. Shame on any university staff that cave to the bullshit pressure.
Are the democrats actively supporting genocide and alienating the voters they need to win in November?
No, it is the children who are right wing troll farms.
Circular reasoning fallacy / begging the question.
Actually it's a bit of a zero-sum situation, considering the number of Jewish Americans. However Biden has already shifted considerably since October 7th, obviously.
The real question you need to answer is why would Biden ever want to do this, if your premise was true. Realizing there is no good answer to that should permit you to reflect on the nature of how false your premise really is.
But I suspect you already know that.
Idk what any of this means.
It’s the principal skinner meme.
What do you think my premise is?
That's all I need to know. Good day.
lol what do you think my premise is?
