"continuing like 80 years of US foreign policy" which includes genocides but not in their own country, so it's therefore not nazi-like in the slightest. cool.

okay i love your posts and work and understand why you hate the US and both parties (reasonably) but can we please stop with like. just the biden slander. like haha biden old and dumb bothers me because it equates 81 year old continuing like 80 years of US foreign policy and 78 year old who openly paraphrases NAZI rhetoric in one of the worlds superpowers. like i fucking hate biden and am vocal about this but equating status quo old guy and fascist old guy is such a false comparison

you (plural, i have multiple of these asks rn) gotta reflect a bit on what you're using your political campaigning energy on if your biggest issue of the day is me making a shitpost. my post i made last night literally just comments directly on the two biden press conferences that day where he first referred to ukrainian president zelensky as "president putin" and then later referred to his vice president kamala harris as "vice president trump".

i am making fun of the CURRENTLY SITTING president of """""the free world""""" who's very clearly not in any position anymore to be doing this job. none of what i said in any way even pits him against trump, but im not making fun of trump because right now he's fucking irrelevant as he's not currently in control of the most powerful country in the world. i sure hope he still won't be after november, but you're not going to win this election by getting mad at some european tumblr user who made an observational joke.

there is so much more i could say about this and especially how meaningless this election really is when it's suddenly taboo to at all criticize the lesser of the two evil, who as a reminder, has been actively aiding the genocide in gaza and has now thrown trans kids under the bus for some minor campaign points. i somehow remember there being this thing about how biden was the compromise candidate but surely we could push him to the left, but hey, what do i know about politics.

#anyway i'm reblogging this mostly for the last paragraph which is the useful part. the ask is beyond repulsive at this point #if you claim a guy is the lesser evil then you can't complain every time the evil is mentioned #you just sound like a liar who doesn't actually believe he's that evil #which is pretty evident here in the 'not spouting nazi-like rhetoric' bit #yeah! he's not saying as much shit as trump! there are not as many angry headlines in your life as there were in 2016-2020!#i guess that was the point that mattered as opposed to people's actual safety huh #also if your point is just 'oh but when we criticize him now people will feel like not voting :('#well if your only way to get votes for a guy is to pressure people to not care for a whole year of politics genocide and news #you're creating a group increasingly desensitized to things #which goes directly against your goal of 'pushing him left later' (about which no concrete plan is ever given btw)#also honestly goes directly against pushing against republicans as well #how many people vote right-wing not for being epically violent beasts #but because they excuse the violence for the sake of other political/economical interests?#you can vote however you want at the end of the day. no one is stopping you by making mean posts online #but if you were convinced to prioritize your interests over a genocide you became more right wing #you need to at least acknowledge this to at least stop it from getting worse #and at the end of the day as soon as the election is over #all the people wanting to protest both will immediately become your allies #because the whole point is that voting is 'damage control' and the real change is later right??#so you're gonna work for the real change during the four years where there's no (presidential) election right???#racism #genocide #nazism
