there is no fucking “after” if trump wins again. there is america as we know it now, and there is post-america. that’s the choice. you aren’t voting for president, you are voting for the country you have always known, or one you’ve never known.
the fourth estate is fucking kneeling in advance and that is, i think, worth a lot more discourse than whether the only non-fascist in the race is an old man, which he is.
People WILL protest, and they WILL get shot.
And it won't be the assholes going "genocide joe", they'll just be congratulating themselves like when they voted for jill stein
No, they'll get to be morally stupid. Trump said in the debate that if he gets to be president, he will encourage Israel to "finish the job". His son-in-law is eyeing waterfront real estate in Gaza.
I have, but Trump isn't the solution. My take:
* Protesting under Biden isn't working
* Protesting under Trump won't only not work, your LGBTQ+ friends lose rights, all recent climate change progress gets wiped out and pollution regulation gets hugely weakened
Trump winning in November makes the US the same as Nazi Germany circa 1934, the number of similarities are huge. There were some pro-Hitler Jews early on too and that didn't work out for them.
Voting 3rd party might give them higher moral ground but for '34 German Jews I don't think they were claiming victory 8 years later. Gotta avoid the closest boulder before worrying about the one behind it.
what is a "third party" in the context of the two 1932 german elections?
what is a "third party" in the context of the 1933 german "reichstag fire" election?
To preface: Trump is the worse option. Protests against things either president disagrees with aren't a thing - we *already* have the autocratic protest-crushing dystopia thing happening, just not for things that matter as much to most people.
I’m sure things in Gaza will improve tremendously under the guy being backed by freaks who think that conflict can be used to bring about the apocalypse
Which is not to excuse Biden’s disgusting failure of policy in that area, but if you want a chance of things improving there, letting Trump make those decisions either by sitting it out or otherwise isn’t the answer
Biden’s bombs killed two of my friends in Gaza. So to me it’s personal.
The point being you shitting on people who use “genocide Joe”.
Which is an accurate name. Maybe you don’t care about 180,000 plus people being exterminated but most people I think do.
I'm not shitting on them (you). What's going on in Gaza is horrific and neither of the two leading presidential candidates are going to do anything about it. Single-issue Gaza voters only option is neither of the two, right?
My point is Trump will make it worse for even more ppl than just Gazans.
Also, I am sorry to hear about your friends in Gaza and of course you have every right to be outraged at Joe and the larger US system that puts profits over humanity in so many places. George Carlin said it best - we like to bomb brown people.
