        A bit of false hope, a dash of inaction, sprinkle in some corpo lobbyist dong sucking, and top it off with a “at least we’re not the other guy”.

        I’m voting democrat, because at least they’re not the other guy, but this meme is fucking bullshit.

        Shit, perhaps? Perhaps the shit sandwiches which we have all packed for lunch, apparently?

      This is honestly the perfect microcosm of liberal thought. Just continuously posting low effort shitposts that literally state in the meme how ineffective and in-bed with fascists liberals are.

      We have OP coming into the comments acting like a holier than thou liberal, repeating the same vapid bullshit over and over.

      Meanwhile, Democrats just keep dumping one little bucket at a time as the boat gets lower and lower while screaming in tears at the guy trying to find the fucking life raft.

      “And fuck no, I’m not voting for you in November”

      Liberals in fucking hysterics throwing a tantrum about why leftists comprising 1% of the vote don’t like their blue MAGA instead of targeting the 60% republican vote with actual popular policy

      Lmao fuck liberals, y’all deserve to lose.

      “There is no genocide in Gaza”

        It’s the over-the-top sarcasm and insincere indignation that galls me

        Then they’ll inevitably try claiming that yea, it’d be nice if we had someone with better politics but NOW’S NOT THE TIME TO MAKE A FUSS

          insincere indignation

          Yeah, how dare those uppity minorities get agitated over the prospect of becoming legally second-class citizens or outright murdered. If only we knew our place, quietly accepting the Principled Stand of the Privileged in our honor!

              Yeah, I’ve never denied the sarcasm. Sorry that you find tone policing more important than genocide.

                Idk really seems like a stretch too suggest your impassioned defenses of the guy supporting the genocide is an indication of your outrage

                  “Wow, I don’t understand how you can defend the guy who doesn’t want to commit genocide in the US, and is less gung-ho about the ongoing genocide in Gaza than the opposition?”

                  It’s weird. I know, I should apparently support all genocide, everywhere, as often as possible, to be a good leftist according to these new standards, but for some reason, I keep gravitating towards the “Let’s not start up death camps in the US and run sorties over the West Bank and ensure as many Ukrainians are murdered as possible” option.

                  Very strange, I know, seemingly incomprehensible to the Very Serious Leftist Brigade here on Lemmy.

                    What’s strange is that the totally-different-and-very-cool party keeps finding themselves in situations wherein they’re totally forced into committing atrocities themselves, but end up being OK because somehow there’s someone worse right behind them

                    And it’s never actually their fault because there’s just too many people who support their totally unavoidable atrocities and if they don’t do them they’ll lose to the totally-worse-and-different monster party

                    And the people who totally oppose the atrocities have no choice but to support the party conducting the atrocities because if they don’t, more atrocities will be done by the totally different and bad party and maybe actually against them and not the faceless foreigners they can forget about

                    So strange

        Yes, yes, we get it, you find the idea of American minorities being murdered thrilling, and support all the aid to Israel Trump can muster. You can stop crowing about it from the top of every roof.

          Are we forgetting that biden is currently the president and loves genocide so much that he refuses to stop supporting it, even though it’s costing him votes? If the best you can offer is “not the other guy” then all you’re telling us is that things will get worse no matter what.

            Oh, okay, I didn’t realize the protection of minority rights was ‘things getting worse’, thanks for the self-report, I guess.

                I guess you love genocide

                For trying to stop as much of it as possible? Weird definition of love, but considering you spend all your time working towards ensuring as many Palestinians are killed as possible, I shouldn’t be surprised.

                    It is, for all reasonable intents and purposes, that someone other than Biden or Trump is going to win the election, an untimely death or other health crisis excluded. Thus, you are choosing between the two. Refusing to choose is saying that you support whichever of them wins.

                    But hey, don’t let me take away from your excitement at seeing more Palestinians dead under a Trump regime, to say nothing of American minorities (but fuck them anyway, right?)

                  Sending billions in weapons and denying any genocide is going on is a funny way of trying to stop genocide.

                    I didn’t realize I had billions in weapons to send, or that I was denying the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Thanks for teaching me so much about myself. Without white leftists to tell me what to think, I don’t know what I’d do.
