Only one of them wants to actively kill my queer friends, so yeah, it matters.

[–] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Both of them want to actively kill Palestinians, including its queer population. "The lesser evil" one is currently bypassing congress to do so

Sounding alot like this rn

Cool story, still matters for my non-palestinian queer friends.

Notice how you haven't addressed how dems are any different from reps if both are okay with a genocide so long as they themselves are fine.

No queer friends in Palestine, I'm guessing. But even if only people in the US deserve life, Biden isn't doing anything to stop LGBQT rights from being dismantled. It will get worse even if Biden wins a second term. If Democrats didn't codify Roe v. Wade when they had the chance, why do you think they will do anything concrete to protect them, when they can use their fear to scare them into voting for them.

Yup, the same dynamic as the right and immigration. More to gain using as a political football instead. The tactics are from the same, cynical playbook, and partisans are happy to play along when it's their team.

Biden only passively wants to kill us and is willing to look the other way when states do it, youre right.

[–] porcariasagrada@slrpnk.net 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

it matters. one is an accelerationist the other is a conservative of the status quo. neither are going to improve anything but one will try his most to destroy any confidence.

[–] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 13 points 9 months ago (2 children)

one will try his most to destroy any confidence

Talking about Biden? You know, the one currently supporting a genocide? I'd think that counts as trying "his most to destroy any confidence"

Damn you really destroyed my comment there 😔

[–] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.de 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don’t have to destroy your comment. Everyone with half a brain already knows that you‘re talking bullshit.

Arguing with people like you is just a waste of time.

Yeah, sorry. Everyone who thinks Trump and Biden are the same, has no political education and or is blinded by ideology. And has, simply put no eyes in his head.

You’re an idiot. And you’re little downvote brigade changes nothing about that.

There was a little grammatical error you missed here friend

And you’re little downvote brigade changes nothing about that

[–] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Dude! Dude!!!!!

Are you trying to tell that it’s actually „your an idiot“????

AHAAAHAAHAAAAA!!!!!!

[–] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 8 points 9 months ago

Uhh that's not the part I quoted

[–] explodicle@local106.com 6 points 9 months ago

"Everyone in this thread is an idiot but me"

[–] porcariasagrada@slrpnk.net 2 points 9 months ago

germany is doing the same. so i guess confidence isn't being destroyed between those two. but is was talking about the american isolationist trump.

For the first one, it'd be great if the US actually let NATO destroy itself, but that's just rhetoric to get Russia to ally with the US against China; like they allied with China against the USSR in the Cold War. Unfortunately the US would never truly antagonize NATO; Trump would just be assassinated and replaced like JFK was for wanting to abolish the CIA.

For the second... you're currently watching a zionazi president bypassing congress to hasten the Palestinian genocide.
