    Supporting a genocide massively unpopular with your voters when your opponent is a fascist seems a bit like establishment entitlement bullshit to me, but idk, maybe I’m out of touch with slang.

    Biden knows what he needs to do to salvage his election, but the whole ideology behind this stubbornness and heavy police crackdown on protests is based on the fury Important People feel when they’re told to do something by their inferiors.

    Also Macklemore lives in Seattle, so it doesn’t matter who he votes for.

        Liberals: leftist Lenny instances are simultaneously so strong they determine the outcome of a national election yet so weak that they are fringe ideologies and nobody in real life thinks like that

        Really not a good look when you continue to align more and more with fascists, as liberals always do when faced with fascism

          No no. It can’t be that fascists have solidarity and a good chance to win. Or that reasonable people are rightfully worried. Everyone you disagree with, or who calls you out for being self sabotaging, is a “dumb liberal”. Very mature.

            The poster didn’t say the phrase “dumb liberal”, they said that liberals are siding with fascists which they absolutely are with their unwavering support for our president funding a genocide and repeating the lies that campus protests are anti-Semitic.

            Reasonable people are worried and make a plea to “please think of the women who will need abortions”. Or better yet, are out organizing with empathy. But zero votes will be gained by castigating people online, especially on a topic where Biden is well outside of the Democratic mainstream.

            Fascist-aligning liberals, like the account above, don’t really care about results just that the people they dislike will get hurt. He’s absolutely giddy at the idea that the (at worst, immature and misguided) lefties will get more jackboots when Trump wins. He was probably watching the BLM crackdowns with glee too. They have a lot in common with groups like the Proud Boys for whom politics is more about seeing power exerted on the people who annoy them than any real policies.

            This account joined Lemmy 10 hours ago to call the youth brainwashed and rejoice that Trump will make the cops even more violent. Why are you defending them?

              Nice straw man. What does it have to do with absolutely anything? That doesn’t contradicted for an age anything I said.

              Fascist-aligning liberals, like the account above, don’t really care about results just that the people they dislike will get hurt.

              The exact same thing can be said for those who are pushing for perfect over the best of what we’ve got. Nothing I said was an endorsement of the person above the person I replied to. Your reading that in yourself. I’ll check on what you said. I don’t think I upvoted or down voted them either way. But if it checks out I will definitely make sure it gets it down vote.

                Maybe leave the tone policing to when they aren’t correctly calling a spade a spade? They were responding to a comment directly demonstrating a fascist-aligning liberal. You didn’t need to dig into their history to scope them out, the source post was directly saying the exact same thing the fascists say: “I can’t wait until Trump’s cops give the lefty malcontents something to really cry about”.

                  Sometimes the worst guy you know still has a point. He’s not wrong that a lot of the angst and hyperbole around Biden. He himself literally can’t divest from Israel or stop the weapons all on his own. That’s a Congress thing. Though he was an absolute dumbass to expedite them. Is turning a lot of you against the only better option we have. Even if it’s not that much better. Regardless thank you for proving my points.

                    The point you think he has is you’ll be happy when the hippies get punched? There wasn’t a good point by a bad person there, the fascist-aligning liberalism was the whole comment.

                    Tell me which part of “Imma laugh when all these Never Biden goofs elect Trump again and cry when he actually Does crack down” resonated with you in particular?
