#fuck Biden too

[lupa-von-wolf]

I very rarely make serious posts on here, but this is a very serious one, and I need it to be shared as quickly as possible.

Friday, June 28th, the US Supreme Court overturned Chevron. What this means is that the Supreme Court will now have ANY and ALL power over any decision that has any generalizations that has come through congress. Previously this has been delegated to federal agencies that specialize in these generalizations, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Occupational Heath and Savety Administration (OSHA), the Federal Avian Administration (FAA), just to name a few.

Previously, the levels of harmful objects found in food, such as rat droppings or pesticides, were monitored and maintained by the FDA, going forward it will be up to the Supreme Court to decide what these levels will be.

And this is only exacerbated by the fact that the Supreme Court has also made it legal to bribe them into deciding in your favor (as long as the "tip" comes after the decision). They've made it legal to be bought by corporations so they can turn a blind eye to the safety hazards that they'll be allowing.

The vote for overturning Chevron AND the "tipping" decision were both 6-3, with all 6 conservative justices voting in tandem, 3 of which were appointed by Trump during his presidency.

This election is more important than just "I'm going to show how I feel about the state of things by not voting." Rights and safeties are deteriorating before our very eyes.

Trans people are going to be forcefully detransitioned, and in the state of Florida, the state officials can rip apart families if *anyone* in the house is trans. Being trans in the state of Florida, if there are children present, is considered a sex crime, which can be punishable by execution. Trump has already stated that he wants to eliminate term limits if he wins again, and make it so he can't be removed from office. He wants to force the country into a theocracy and is complete against abortions, no matter what, including loss of life, ectopic pregnancies, or impregnation by rape or incest.

Refusing to vote, or choosing to vote for Kennedy is choosing to vote for genocide. It's choosing to vote for Trump, because we all know each and every one of his cultists is showing up. It's choosing to vote for the death and annihilation of your friends, your family, and America.

Yes, Biden is fucking terrible. But he's not Trump.

The entire democratic political strategy is The Sword of Damocles Hanging impending far right fascism over voters heads as a threat to force people to vote for them without actually standing to improve the lives of the people

They have no interest in actually combating fascism because if they did they'd have to find a different way of getting people to vote for them other than fear mongering

[thisgunisonfire]

Happy save democracy day everyone!

[maggiemooo]

Remember, every time you see one of those "vote (for Biden) like your life depends on our posts" that personal fear is the main way genocide is sold to people.

Before the primaries even started, we saw Democrats start campaigning for genocidin Joe with this tactic. There's no plan to make things better, they never even considered running another candidate. There's no discussions, there's only manipulations of your fears to support a president and his genocide.

learning things about american politics makes me feel crazy. one of the two men who will be president next year wants to start a christian nationalist autocracy and it’s just on wikipedia? can anyone else see this??

[maggiemooo]

What metric do y'all use to qualify "better" and "worse" cause under the current administration police funding is up, death by cops is up, more cop cities are being built, more border walls, arguably worse - or at least as bad as Trump's - treatment of immigrants, more drilling permits, and a massive increase in bills targeting trans people as well as more censorship (like kosa or the tiktok Bill), as well as a worse covid response, and increased criminalization of being homeless. Not to mention the genocide of Palestine and increased military actions in Africa and the middle east

So what do you mean by better? Is it that you're just more comfortable with a democrat in office? Or does how the president talk about it make more a difference to you than the material conditions?

The United States is a fascist state. Joe Biden is a fascist. Trump is also a fascist. The only real difference is he wants to upset how that fascism is structured. The Democrats do not offer an alternative to fascism, but propagate it and collaborate with it. The myth that Biden is better than Trump is propaganda that maintains a genocidal system. If we want a better world, the United States must fail. Colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism must fail. We must devour it from the inside.

Okay to be more direct, the left-liberal reluctantly pro-Biden sympathetic to Gaza stance is something like "well, it's true Biden has a lot of terrible policies but Trump is meaningfully worse on literally everything" -> "everyone should vote for Biden"

And a lot of people disagree with that conclusion, and I don't really have it in me to argue with them. What's happening is morally repugnant and I don't feel like there's really anything I could say or do that would make voting for Biden feel acceptable to them, and frankly, trying would make me feel gross. So I'm not gonna do that.

However. I feel like I also see a lot of people disagree with the premise - that Trump is meaningfully worse than Biden on everything, including Gaza - and I just don't think that's an informed take. I think he's the same guy he was as president with four extra years of radicalization and resentment and time to plan. I think if he wins, he will hit the US and then the rest of the world like a wrecking ball, Palestine included.

genuinely would love for some of the "both parties are the same" people to name me a single election in the entirety of the twenty first century where the outcome for the country wouldn't have been better if a democrat had won

[timeisacephalopod]

If American politics wants to be the funniest 2 weeks to a month before the election both Donald Trump and Joe biden would die of natural causes

[cometrose]

like the thing is people are dying from abortion bans and dying from FDA deregulation and everyone just looks at each other and goes “hmm my gas prices are too high”

JD Vance HUMILIATES Kristen Welker when she tries insulting him on live tv

[kcdodger]

If voting didn't work, they wouldn't gerrymander.

If voting didn't work, Donald Trump would have won 2020.

If voting didn't work, they wouldn't try to rig elections.

If voting didn't work, you wouldn't see Republicans bitch about mail in ballots.

If voting didn't work, you wouldn't see Republicans try to stop minorities from voting.

Get your head out of the fucking sand. Go vote when the time comes.

Because you aren't going to raise arms, and everyone knows it.

[luvmoonie]

is this not.. world war 3??

[delicatefury]

Of course they are. Apple’s not anyone’s friend. Apple likes the tyrannical practices in China that keep manufacturing there.

Afterall, it’s the Apple/Foxconn labor camps that are revolting. Without their cheap labor giving them ridiculous profits, Apple might have to innovate! Or take a slightly smaller gain!

And yes, I’m aware it’s mildly hypocritical of me as I’m sending this on an iPhone. My only defense is I did not know Apple’s practices when I bought it, and I refuse to upgrade or switch until it dies or I can confirm manufacturing processes for a replacement.

But fuck China and all the western companies helping the CCP.

ending gravity ❌ ✅

just LOOK at the list its all right there the obvious right answer because politicians never lie and we have NO term to look back on to showcase whether or not thats true so just VOTE BLUE!!!!

[fionatheicicle]

I hate that this needs to be said, i also hate that i’m saying this. I do not support biden at all. He is a despicable excuse for a human being. However the truth is: a third party candidate CANNOT WIN THE ELECTION. If we do not vote for biden then PROJECT 2025 WILL HAPPEN, the conservatives will genocide every single individual who doesn’t believe what they do. It will be WORSE than the handmade tale. They will make the Spanish Inquisition seem like a pleasure cruise. Iran will look positively tame. It will usher in another dark age. Please do not let your attitude at biden allow trump to win. Vote blue.

Edit: it is with both satisfaction and a bit of anxiety that i announce that as of 7/21/2024 Joe Biden has dropped out of the presidential race. I will be both updating this post and making a new post (will be similar in nature to this one) upon a candidate being selected at DNC.

Hi so if you see this post on twitter, do not listen, do not retweet it.

I understand people think voting third party will magically solve our problems, but it won't. Mainly because the electoral college is quite literally rigged by Democrats and Republicans against third parties to prevent them from winning. And this mindset that "if just enough people vote third party we'll win!" is one of the major reasons Trump won in the first place.

And I need to you listen, ok? I need you to listen closely.

If Trump wins, we'll lose the entire Democratic party, he'll have personal control over the military to go after anyone who opposes him, including other politicians and protesters. Pornography will be criminalized alongside surrogacy, contraceptives and divorce. KOSA will be implemented and anything even slightly "unchristian" will be censored on the internet. Women will be forced to marry their rapists, immigrates will be forced out of the country, queer people will be massacred, and PoC and disabled people, all of us, will lose our rights.

This. Is. Not. The time. To be gambling. With third parties.

Additionally, Cornel West is only available on ballots in two states, meaning most people can't vote for him. On top of that he supports Russia and wants to disband NATO, praised Reagan, and owes half a million in taxes and child support. He's not going to fix our problems, and with so few states even offering the option to vote for him, he's basically already lost.

Do not vote third party. Do not gamble our future. Biden is our best chance at stopping Trump and Christofacism, just vote for him.
