#in 15 days we will be lead by a party founded by a waffen ss and a torturer who had his best life torturing arabs in in colonial Algeria

I tried to be cheerful and keep my message positive because the goal was to encourage people to vote, but this last response was the straw that broke the camel's back (no pun intended since I say this as an Arab).

I'm not American and honestly I didn't understand 80% of your message about your electoral system. This shouldn't be a problem: I should mind my own business quietly, not understanding any of your fucking useless, perverse American political mind games.

Jill Stein is on the ballot and she's the only sane option at this point. That you can still nitpick about her level of commitment and her ability to win, without even trying to make her win, says everything there is to say about your stupidity!

What a privileged life you have to be able to not care about the consequences of your choices on the rest of the world! And you really like rubbing it in our faces!

This is not possible for us. The stakes - a world war is looming with a new almost certain genocide but this time throughout the Middle East - of this American presidential election are too great for my continent, my country, my region, my religion, my culture and my family ! I'm totally trapped in your quagmire and I can't escape it, even if I don't want to be involved.

You have no idea what it does to our minds:

to see you weigh the options as if it were a consumer choice, the same one you make between spinach and broccoli. You don't like the menu: Trump nor Biden, but you still feel powerful like rich people because you eat at the restaurant (democracy reserved for whites and as an exception poc living in Western countries), so it's your right to critique each meal/option in detail. Maybe your restaurant is small, not famous, cheap (you'll suffer from racism or discrimination), but you still feel proud of your privilege of putting your interests first and letting someone else pay for you. So the taste of this meal will be forgotten as quickly as the new massacres you heard about on the radio on your commute to school or work. You're just going to turn off the radio and continue your daily life

Seeing you pretend that this is democracy, because if your rights are protected, everything will be fine.

To see you pretend that your trans rights are more important than our lives, as the pathetic and shameless TheRogueFeminist reminded us earlier in this thread (I'm not even tagging this empty shell who pretend to be a human being).

To see you pretend that Biden didn't act like a serial killer butcher, cutting up entire human beings, from babies to the elderly, reducing them to limbs, smashing their heads until their brain matter was out of their skulls.

To see you pretend that Biden is not doing this with the American bombs paid with your taxes, making YOU responsable for his actions!

Seeing you pretend that what happens in the Middle East, in Russia, in China, in Africa will never have direct effects on your lives, because "America is never at war, America is in shopping malls" while others suffer the consequences of the wars your government chooses to lead on your behalf.

You know what? This time, you'll have to give a damn. I have two updates on what the Biden election means for your precious lives, so superior to ours:

First, Biden “the least bad option” is in the process of militarizing the whole american society, as explained in this Antiwar article about conscription:

Friday both the U.S. Senate Armed Service Committee and the full U.S. House of Representatives approved different proposals to expand and/or make it harder to avoid the requirement for men ages 16-26 to register with the Selective Service System for a possible military draft.  The House vote was 217-199.

And it's not just about guys this time:

The Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) approved a version of the NDAA that would expand Selective Service registration to include young women as well as young men. This version of the NDAA will now go to the floor as the starting point for consideration and approval by the full Senate.

There is also a worse version of the proposal where enlistment is automated to track everyone who tries to escape enlistment:

Also on June 14th the full House of Representatives approved a different version of the NDAA that would make Selective Service registration automatic while keeping it for men only.

Combine all the worst of these proposals and imagine what Biden, the protector of your dear American democracy, will do to you at the end of the year, after his election, considering this draft came during his mandate and it is he who pushes for wars with Russia and China through NATO and the EU :

Floor amendments are still possible in the Senate before it approves its version of the NDAA. But as of now, it seems likely that competing bad proposals with respect to expansion and/or attempted enforcement through automation of Selective Service — one from the Republican-majority House to try to make it automatic, and one from the Democratic-majority Senate to expand it to women — will be included in the House and Senate versions of the NDAA and go to the eventual House-Senate conference committee to sort out in closed-door negotiations late this year, after the elections.

No matter how much he doubts the practicality of this technical solution to meet the Biden administration's need to "enable planning and engagement in endless, unlimited wars,  without needing to consider regard for whether young people will volunteer to fight them".

the author's conclusion of this article said:

Young people should continue to resist draft registration and keep the draft out of the policy arsenal of the warmongers. Allies of young people and of their resistance to the draft should lobby members of Congress who oppose endless, unlimited, undeclared wars to reintroduce and push for hearings on the Selective Service Repeal Act.

If you think World War III isn't around the corner, that means you're really out of the loop in terms of current events.

In the following video (I can't post the short clip of the video I wanted to share in this thread, so I added the link to Twitter), Serbian President Vucic literally breaks down over the possibility of a nuclear confrontation between the West and Russia before the end of this year.

We are talking about a Western head of state who has been present at all NATO and EU meetings on war and peace and who is aware of all the intelligence on the subject. In this interview, he is about to fall off his chair from fear, because he knows we are heading towards a global nuclear war that will be fought on every continent.

The link for the complete video:

“We are heading for a major catastrophe and it seems that the train has already left the station and can no longer be stopped. No one in the West is talking about peace anymore - only more war. The West thinks it can win and take out Russia. I think the West is wrong. Both sides now believe it is existential for them, so I don't think they will find a solution other than war and everything, everything is at stake. In Europe, the leaders act as the big heroes, but they are not honest and do not tell their citizens that they will all pay a big price if it comes to war.”

So keep your condescension to yourself and start campaigning for Jill Stein!

to be honest it would make me a lot more comfortable if you guys would show a little concern about trump running for president again. Do not inbox me and say you don’t like joe biden omg i already know. but can we show a little concern. about donald trump. being the republican candidate for president. for the third election in a row.
