    uhh, yeah. If we give him what he wants he’ll go right back to comitting genocide.

    When power balks, when it takes a step back, you don’t congratulate yourself and go home. You kick it in the balls, stab it in the throat, and steal it’s wallet. There’s no “incremental change”, you either go all the way or you lose everything. We didn’t “win” by making Biden stop sending bombs, because he didn’t stop sending bombs. this is feint, and if we fall for it he’s going to shiv us in the kidneys.

    Why don’t they just focus their energies on getting new voters? 30% of eligible voters are unregistered. You could counterbalance the “lost” votes from the cocaine left and their toxic podcasts with just a fraction of newly registered voters.

      Those people are too alien to them since they cannot imagine not picking a horse in their two horse race. Not to mention that they know those 30% are not gonna be receptive to their shitty politics.

      Because that would mean putting money and resources into local, on the ground organizing and building community connections. Can’t fit overpriced DC consultants and media producers into that equation.

        the fucked up thing is no, some of that is not. his choice to continue most of trumps immigration policies is purely executive

        he choice to let pete basically do nothing at all in regards to the countries crumbling infrastructure is another executive decision. he could have pulled a “im going to use homeland security and anti-terrorism funds to make sure the nations bridges and other infrastructure is safe from attack” and just basically funneled that to the dept of transportation.

        there are so many loophole dirty tricks to employ here and they do none of them because they dont want to

      That’s how the western left operates though. Literally everyone thinks anyone to their left is either loonies or secret rightists.

      You know what’s extra stupid? I’m thinking of that video of the Isntraeli business man in Egypt getting shot in his own car by some random Egyptian. Like the Egyptian guy not only recorded himself dumping, but he literally says in the end of the video “shalom from the children of Gaza.” He was part of a group that’s going around carrying out vigilante justice against Isntraelis and (suspected) mossad agents.

      Even if those stupid gulf countries “normalize” the Arab people will not. I don’t think they actually understand that Arabs in general do not fuck with Zionists period. Normalization was only going to benefit the monarchy and ruling class, which the average Arab hates more than westerners hate their own government.

      It was destined to fail.

    Biden isnt ever getting tough on Israel, and if Democrats wanted to win this election they would have backed someone with a different platform.

    If Biden supporters were soo scared of Trump winning they would have pressed for a primary with alternative candidates, or at the very least called for Biden to reverse his positions on key issues. [-1]

    That’s a lot of words to say “nyet” [+7]

    You dare to criticize our genocidal warmonger? What time is it in Moscow, comrade?

    No matter what happens, remember that it’s leftists’ fault that the Democratic Party couldn’t find a person capable of beating Donald Trump, who was the most unpopular president in history when he was in office, a man who is one of the most blatantly criminal and corrupt people to ever hold that office, who has no small amount of innocent blood on his own hands and is also personally repellent (even if he can be funny when he’s ripping on someone else who sucks).

    They found the one fucking guy in America who can lose to this person, and they’re gonna blame us for it.
