Like, has anybody honestly checked on Biden lately? Does he not understand what he's saying or is he really leaning into "what are you gonna do, vote trump?" Strategy this hard already?

Because the danger is depressing turnout enough trump may win, not Dem voters voting trump.

And this shit show of a comment is going to depress turnout for Biden...

I really think Trump will win again. Regardless of my opinion, I see that Republicans are focusing mainly on "look how good our guy is" and Democrats are only saying "look how bad that guy is" . The Democrats don't seem enthusiastic about their candidate.

The thing is they're half assing it.

They want voter to believe at the same time:

If trump is president he can do anything he wants.
If Biden is president, the president has no power.

Only Republicans and neoliberals are used to dealing with that level of cognitive dissonance.

It's why 1/3 of eligible voters don't vote.

It is because they aren’t. Biden is a “not Trump” candidate. That’s it. We are voting against Trump, not for Biden.

[–] hightrix@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

I would LOVE to vote FOR something. It’s been many years since that has been an option.

Not only supplying Israel is the direct reason why US soldiers are being targeting but also it bace the way to radicalized the new bin laden and the new ISIS. Who would target US individuals and interests every where.

While in the past the attacks are mostly is happening in middle east, there are no guarantees to fight will affect civilians in the US.

No one talk why bin laden became anti-usa eventhough he studied in western university and from a wealthy family. It is the US foreign affairs in supporting Israel that resulted in 9/11 directly or indirectly.

Not just Gaza, USA is the biggest arms dealer in the world.

I think that's a good, fair way of treating arms dealers. Let's apply that to everyone then yeah?

Lets apply that to everyone.

So they'll sue gun shops owners when there's a mass-killing going on, right?

[–] Reddit_Is_Trash@reddthat.com 3 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Do you sue car dealerships when a drunk driver kills someone?

[–] SquirtleHermit@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Bars certainly can be held liable for drunk drivers they served.

Q Mr. President, do you hold Iran responsible for the death of those three Americans?

THE PRESIDENT: I do hold respon- — them responsible in the sense that they’re supplying the weapons to the people who did it.

Cool. Now do Israel.

That means Canada’s done some bad shot too. We actually sell a shit-tonne of weapons.
