why do people love genocide joe?
Oh look. A two day old account.
Do you have anything to actually counter what i said or are you just going to attack me?
They’re implying you’re a troll with no credibility so there’s no point in debating.
Oh I know. I just think that’s a copout though because they can’t give a decent reply.
Gonna need to put more effort in beyond kindergarten name calling if you’re going to want an actual debate.
Because you can judge actions separate from other actions.
Doing bad does not mean he can’t do anything good.
of course not. him not doing anything good makes him bad.
At least Mussolini made the trains run on time energy
Oh boy more funding for the genocide
We can congratulate for the good while booing the bad.
Booing dont cut it, im holding them to account
He snuck a win past the GOP!
Article immediately references Aid for Israel and the TikTok ban.
I’m not sure those are wins.
The TikTok ban is a bad thing? Israel for sure is, but considering the current situation in congress, getting the Ukraine funding passes along with other legislature is amazing.
I have to disagree, I actually haven’t seen any evidence presented showing the Chinese government is meddling through TikTok, at least not to any higher degree than the US government meddles in US-operated social media.
A Tiktok ban comes off as red scare-style overreaction that risks losing the support of a lot of young Americans who already see the US federal government as a surveillance state. This certainly does not do anything to quell those sentiments.
Yeah, it’s kind of a distraction. Sure, it’s probably bad that the Chinese government has a source for so much personal data for so many people, but it’s also bad that Facebook does, and many more. The real problem is the lack of privacy rights, controls, remedies, regardless of whom collects it
Even back 30 years ago, I knew someone who wanted to build a dating app. Even back then, he didn’t care about income from the users. Even that long ago, the market for detailed personal data was the profit center
I think that Biden has done a better job of working the hill to get the stuff he wants than Obama ever did
See, I’m almost convinced that it isn’t even Biden. Like, Biden is not a strong leader at all…and I think that’s been a great thing (at least for domestic policy).
It feels like he’s gotten out of the way of the competent people who actually “run the show” in all the myriad departments of government and just let them do their thing.

Literally the definition of a strong leader, knowing when to step in and when to let the people you hired do their jobs is the hall mark of a good leader
enabling a genocide is a good leader?
There it is, I was wondering how long it would take before genocide got mentioned ITT
That’s great, but he needs to now self-promote and market himself, or we’ll be stuck with another Trump term (and possibly the end of democracy in America).
lol we don’t have a democracy in america.
We have a democratic republic, a form of representative government. While there is unfortunately a sometimes insurmountable amount of outsized power wielded by the ultrawealthy, we still can make change happen when the opportunity arises. That goes away if the flawed democracy we have goes away.
Don’t let perfection be the enemy of progress. A flawed democracy is better than no democracy.
We don’t have a democracy. The fact that nearly all of the primaries were cancelled this year and the dnc just decided to pick a winner is evidence that we don’t. we have a captilaist oligarchy in which no one reaches the high office unless the rich think it’s ok.

All this tells me is that you don’t understand what I said. You’re saying that because the systems in place can be used to limit the choices we have in frustrating ways, we don’t have choices.
But we still do have choices. It’s very rare that they’re the best ones, but they’re still choices. A choice between a genocide-supporting fascist and a genocide-supporting non-fascist is still a choice between a fascist and a non-fascist. That choice sucks, but it’s a choice worth making.
If those are the choices the system gives us then it’s probably a good idea to rebel against said system.
Really? Given a choice between fascist or non fascist you think a real answer is “rebel!”
Well alright then, fuckin do it mate. Don’t expect anyone else to lead the charge you want.
This is why nobody takes you seriously.
