Did you know in Sudan (5x the population of Israel/Gaza) there is a literal ethnic genocide going on right now? As in Arabs going village to village and straight up murdering people based entirely on how dark their skin is? And this started before the 2024 election. How many times have you posted about that?
Funny how all of these disingenuous anti-Biden and anti-DNC posters are so conveniently playing into the Republicans’ hands by making Israel a single issue voting point.
What did anyone do? If I’m so dumb, who tried to stop it? Who is defending? I’m accusing everyone. You didn’t do anything. I didn’t do anything. Literally no country came in and said “stop it or else!” Dumb is wanting to blame one person so bad you’re blind to reality.
Is Biden currently in charge? No, it’s Trump and we need to deal with him now instead of putting the focus on what the Democrats did in the previous administration. Unless you’re suggesting we ignore Trump and continue to blame Biden of genocide?
I didn’t say biden, did I? I said democrats. Are they going to start opposing genocide? Oh right. Of fucking course they won’t. genocide support is all they are.

Democrats already had a credibility problem. You say you want to deal with trump, but democrats keep voting for his nominees. democrats voted for his continuing resolution. democrats voted against the minimum wage increase they claimed to support. biden ran on cannabis legalization but ran out the clock instead. democrats keep lying and expect everyone to keep acting like they’re not useless liars.
But they are useless liars. This is a pattern of behavior going back for some time. democrats say they want something. they run on it. Then they get into office and find some way to avoid doing it. They say they’re doing something behind the scenes, then it turns out that it was a lie and they weren’t.
I am all for coordinated movements, but organize with who, plan what, act how?
I see this kind of sentiment all the time on Lemmy and generally agree with it, but it feels like platitudes at this point when no one can recommend anything concrete.
Recession, tariffs, no due process, people with papers being deported, measles, no environmental or food protections, state sponsored religion, state control of school curriculum and staffing, the elimination of safety nets for poor and sick Americans, the president selling meme coins, the dismantling of independent journalism, increased government handouts to billionaires, etc.
Where does this rank on the list of multiple issues at once?
Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don’t hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent - I don’t care which one - but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator.
That’s cool. I think we have big shit to worry about now.
If you can’t be bothered to not aid an active genocide, you are going to do shit to defend democracy. The US is fundamentally broken
Western democracy in general in that regard

Was Joe Biden bankrolling that for 70% with US taxpayer dollars?
Literally yes, the US funds the KSA who fund the RSF
Are we currently arming the genocide in Sudan that you’re whatabouting?
Nothing changed with Trump. In fact it has gotten worse for them… and also the rest of the US who oppose Israel.
Also… absolutely every other country on earth did 100% nothing to stop Israel. So, point fingers all you want—everyone on earth allowed this.
No, not even close. That is just dumb, almost as dumb as the temporary pier. Why spend the time defending war crimes?

Yemenis stopped trade through the red sea costing a lot of money to Israel. I bet you cheered for operation amazon prime.
Oh goodness, they stopped trade?! Thoughts and fucking prayers. I bet you were just fine with that.
Stand for nothing, fall for anything.
People can focus on multiple issues at once.
Unfortunately we can’t change the past. We need to focus on Trump who is very open about accelerating the genocide plan.
So, democrats are going to start opposing genocide?

what action can i take about this
Organise, plan, act

Look for local mutual aid groups, get stuck in

Clearly you don’t understand, both sides did something I don’t like, which makes them the same
/s
Also bird flu, climate change, housing bubble bursting, high likelihood of food supply storage and that kid back on the fucking escalator.
What’s the kid on the escalator one?
It’s from Mallrats. Pretty old reference but Lemmy trends to the older crowd.
