crazy how both parties have their interests aligned with each other behind the scenes while you see them play fighting on the TV screen. Really makes you think...

I'm starting to think that's for show. They get on perfectly well when they want to silence us

it's almost like neither parties serve the working class's interests and only exist to serve themselves

Joe Biden has been working quite hard to create more opportunities for middle and lower class Americans. He has been one of the most labor-friendly presidents in recent history, what makes you say he doesn't care? His Administration's policies and positions say otherwise.

Apprently reminding you guys that Biden has a pro middle and lower class domestic policy and factually isn't like Trump gets downvotes

Good question. I found this in the plethora of sources outlining Joe Biden's domestic agenda which he centers on working Americans

Biden promised student load forgiveness and instead gave a 0.00001% for 1% of the youth and that’s delivering?
What’s that young person’s medical expenses after we have paid for all the foreign wars, genocides, etc??

No debating that the US and his admin has been bankrolling and aiding the state of Israel, just pointing out that Biden's domestic policies are centered more on working Americans than previous presidents, and can be distinguished from Trump in this regard.

Yup, typical of American Foreign policy. His domestic policies focus more on middle and lower class Americans.

Yo numbnuts, police brutality has happened at peaceful protests over the past month... under Biden, who has been continuously providing Israel with money and arms to carry out the massacre

u/volanger May 28 '24
Police brutality always happens, but imagine how bad it'll get with trump who, again, wants the government to actively Crack down on those using their first amendment rights, compared biden, who doesn't. And we know behind the scenes biden's been against netanyhu.
I'm not saying biden's been good, but trump would be far worse. The 2 are not comparable.

There's one side trying to get dirtier, and the other trying to clean itself up. I agree that both parties need to be eliminated. I want all parties gone. But between these 2, biden's clearly the better option on this subject.

Cool, then you don't get to complain when trump sends more weapons, allows Israel to kill more civilians, crushes protesters with harsher actions (see hellholes like Florida or Texas for examples there), and attacks your own constitutional rights more (assuming you're American). Cause that's the consequences of your inaction.

Voting for “the least bad” has got you here, voting and publicly supporting a genocide enabler. Congrats.

u/volanger May 29 '24
Re-read what I said. Biden is trying, albeit poorly imo, to end Israel's slaughter in Gaza. Trump would help Isreal hit the gas.
It sucks, but there's scenarios where you have to choose the better of 2 bad options. And in this case, I would much rather have biden at the helm than trump.

u/FatCatNamedLucca May 29 '24
Your message is not complex. It doesn’t change when re-read. “Biden is trying to end Israel’s slaughter in Gaza”? Yeah, no wonder you’re calling us to vote for this genocide enabler. I have no idea what world you live in, but it must be very comfortable to be so detached from reality.
Trump is horrible, but voting for Biden is not an option. There’s nothing rational about your argument. It’s just regurgitated ideology: “Trump is bad, Biden is good. The system works and this is the lesser of both evils”. Spare us, please. We’re tired.

Both sides get dirtier tho.

u/volanger May 29 '24
They're really not. Republicans are by far dirtier. Trump literally has 91 criminal charges against him. Biden has 0. That's how low the bar is

u/captaindoctorpurple May 28 '24
Biden needs to stand up to Netanyahu period. Like, at all. He needs to, as the head of state, comply with his duty to prevent genocide.

And this is why US politics are stuck between not just a rock and a hard place more like a rock and a pile of metal spikes.

Both parties are Zionists,just look at the major donors.

So same as Dems...awesome. We knew when they let the police riot during BLM (Repubs) and Occupy Wall Street (Dems) that this would happen. With the conventions coming, neither side will treat the protesters like they are protesting Americans with rights. They will use arbitrary laws to justify the violence. Can't wait to see what happens s. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

In comparing the two current presidential candidates: Orange man and very old guy, orange man will crush the protestors, he will crush free speech, and he will allow for genocide to continue. Old man will at least call for safer practices in hopes things improve and attempt to hold people accountable, a good start. If you are pro Palestinian and are looking for peace in Gaza, then do not vote for Orange Man for he promotes the opposite of peace.
