No bitch, that's a whole new sentence

Anyone to the left of the DNC leadership: constructively criticizes Joe Biden

Biden stans: You love Trump, don't you?

[-] franklin@lemmy.world 37 points 6 months ago

On the other side of this, what I find really common is anyone who acknowledges the reality of how the US voting structure works is seen as a Biden Stan

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

"Hey maybe we should just elect the most popular candidate instead of potentially not electing the most popular candidate"

"HAHA LOOK AT THE LIBTARD"

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

First of all: least unpopular. Neither of them are very popular and most people would prefer that neither of them were amongst the two options.

Second, valid criticism ≠ voting against, not voting or telling anyone to do either.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Nothing wrong about acknowledging the reality of the system being a broken dichotomy, of course.

I'm talking about the people who shut down all valid criticism with the "but Trump is worse" whataboutism or "stop giving Trump ammunition" as if anyone sane didn't already know Trump is awful and as if the Mango Mussolini wouldn't just make shit up regardless..

[-] franklin@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

That's completely fair critism is a healthy part of democracy.

[-] BennyHill@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

If you think voting the DNC will fix anything YOU don't understand how the US voting structure works

[-] franklin@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

I don't think that.

What do YOU think will work?

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

Eating won't fix cancer, so don't bother.

My guy: sometimes you do things to prevent new problems. Making nothing better still beats making everything worse.

That's because it's a common argument of Biden stans. It's pretty telling that they can't think of anything good to say about their candidate, so instead it's this stuff.

[-] franklin@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

There's a lot of good and bad.

Bad - Supporting Israel financially, forcing the rail workers back to work from their strike, his environmental policies seem half hearted.

Good - Forgiving large amounts of student loan debt, having his cabinet work with the DEA at reclassifing weed while promoting the idea publically, putting billions into Urban reconstruction to help cities become less dependent on roads and more accessible for the least fortunate.

It's more nuanced than he's great or awful. He's just better. As it often ends up coming to in American politics.

As an aside I long for multi choice voting.

Sorry, but no. Lemmy is an echo chamber. If one server likes pancakes and another server likes waffles, they'll just defederate.

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 27 points 6 months ago

Modern debate literally anywhere:

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

'So you think [some made-up bullshit]?' 'Fuck off.' And then a mod comes in and goes 'How dare you be rude to that smug liar.'

When the correct moderator action is often 'Yeah, fuck off.'

[-] asciimage@sh.itjust.works 26 points 6 months ago

Me: maybe consider your ability to love a child as part of your “can I afford a child” criteria.

Reddit: so it doesn’t matter if we can’t even afford to feed ourselves because “all you need is love”?

Me: b1tch that’s a whole other sentence

Is it the only place if this same thing is posted on every social media platform in existence with the name of that platform edited in?

Two days ago, I wouldn't have felt particularly strongly about this sentiment, but my last few comments yesterday had some interesting interpretations...
