How about: No arms deals with any entity that indiscriminately murders innocent people, women, and children?

[-] ironhydroxide@partizle.com 15 points 1 year ago

Shit no deals with Boeing, Northrup Grumman, etc.

Oh well, I'm certain they won't bribe Congress to force their deals through..... /s

What? Think about the BlackRock's and Vanguard's!

So practically every major power in the world?

Fuck Israel. We shouldn't be supporting them at all.

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

They would fold under even the littlest bit of BDS, but that's not going to happen because the US sees themselves in Israel.

I can’t believe how many shitlibs there are in here, using this opportunity to guilt people with an actual conscience into voting for this piece of shit as if he has some sort of moral high ground.

What is the lesser evil when both the DNC and the GOP work directly for the exact same military industrial complex?

The real villain here is the system that makes any party outside of the two party system completely irrelevant: first-past-the-post.

We have two Republican parties. One of them just so happens to pretend better at being inclusive..but they secretly also wish that the poor could be burned to fuel their mega-yachts.

[-] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 44 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The one that isn't taking away trans rights, making abortion illegal, and saying the last election was stolen, seems like the lesser evil actually. I can agree that I think our parties would be slightly better if first past the post was changed to allow for multiple parties, but i think it's ridiculous to say both parties are currently the same. Edit: As I responded to thecrotch, I disagree with the assertion that the Dem party is evil. Flawed? sure, our 2 party system will only allow for flawed parties, but to say their evil is downright showing ignorance of US politics or disinformation given the examples that I gave.

Not to people overseas. There’s no difference between being indiscriminately murdered by a Republican or a Democrat to the people dying.

i can’t see any of them, which means a lot of them must have been banned already from hexbear lol lmao

[-] demesisx@infosec.pub 26 points 1 year ago

Maybe I should switch to hexbear. I feel like I’m on 2016 Twitter, arguing with Neera Tanden’s astroturfing PPI team and they’re trying to brainwash other leftists to think that Single Payer is somehow bad.

[-] bazingabrain@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

please switch, your braincells will grow back, and we have silly stickers to plaster everywhere posadist-nuke

Went and checked the lemmy.ml version of the thread, and they sure weren't lying about the shitlibs.

No, we have Eisenhower Republicans, and Nazis.

My thing is, why are some people here just finally throwing away their votes?

Like I knew from a very young age that this country doesn't care and will enthusiastically turn it's back on you if your hardship is an inconvenience to capital in any way, look how they treat the ndns.

And if anything there is money to be made off our suffering.

This is why colonization anywhere is colonization everywhere. From the river to the fucking sea, Palestine WILL BE FREE

I get why - congress is increasingly useless - but there's obvious accountability problems there.

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Accountability problems with funneling infinite weapons to an Apartheid settler state? No way, the US has a high degree of integrity about such things

Spineless, pathetic cowardice. I mean we already knew that about Democrats but this just indicts the entire administration as such. Israel makes no apologies for their slaughter, they just don't give a shit, but this means that Genocide Joe and Co. KNOW this is wrong and they'll still bend over backwards just to kill a foreigner.

Zero attempts at "harm reduction" pfff, they're actively taking steps to make the harm (literal bombing of children) worse. I live in a swing state, so when I throw my vote away I'll get to feel proud knowing it was worth even more. Glory to the martyrs and may "Israel" and her American dog be annihilated.

He really does think this is his holy mission to bring about the yadda yadda biblical prophecy huh?

[-] GreenTeaRedFlag@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Which is super weird because he's catholic and we don't really, uh, follow the book of revelations. That weird ass prophecy is a Baptist thing

[-] moonlit2107@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

I'm not voting for this man a second time. No more harm reduction. I'm not degrading myself by voting for a genocide enabler.

[-] fiercekitten@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago

You getting downvoted for refusing to vote for Biden for a very valid reason is proof of how broken our two-party system is. This is why every state needs to pass ranked-choice voting. Maine did it and proved it could be done, and now they get to vote for who they actually /want/ without having their vote “spoiled”.

Everyone in the US should be working to get ranked-choice voting in their state.

I don't like this trend! War movies in 10-20 years will be boring. No Rambos, no Schwarzeneggers, no Spielberg and Tom Hanks emotional patriotism! No funny casual racism, no casual homophobia, no casual misoginy... Did Mark Hamil play a terrorist in Star Trek after all? The End of an Era. We're gonna have to watch films about how a bribed White House politicant struggles to keep up with weapon manufacture demands while managing to convince his wife not to divorce him because she feels neglected since he's never at home... directed by Clint Eastwood.

That's boring. I'm out!

Genocide Joe knows how evil it is, and wants to continue arming the zionist entity. Monstrous bastard.
