So sad that after so many failings, they still cannot learn! Do what's right, not what's personally profitable, you scumbags.

Do you want trump? This is how we get trump.

If you want to prepare, watch The Handmaid's Tale. Probably less entertaining when it's real life.

Exactly, the best thing Democrats or anti-Trump voters can do right now is blame the party for it's own failings rather than shame the left voters they need who are on the correct side of every issue. I view that as more a confession than anything. Too often this turns in to "oh you care about ____, well that's how we get Trump, get off your high horse and live in reality." Well now that blank is genocide, so they can't say this and save face anymore. Even though the US is always supporting this type of foreign policy, and you can rant about it all day if you're on the left while they shame you for caring, you're only taken seriously by Democrat voters when it's not able to be brushed under the rug as a minor issue.

Just think about how this is framed, "damn, this genocide is really bad for... Biden's polling." If that's the main concern of someone's here then you've already lost.

unfortunately for us and the world:

Do you want trump?

Roughly half of voters: YES

If you support biden, you are the scum bag.

Billions for bombs on Palestine, zero money for student loans.

I will never forget. And I will never vote blue again.

Billions for bombs on Palestine

And that's wrong. But it's better than a Trump presidency giving x10 the amount.

zero money for student loans.

It wasn't zero. Biden was still able to get some borrowers off the hook, just not as sweeping as necessary.

And you're ignoring SCOTUS's part of this.

And I will never vote blue again.

Which is the exact type of decision that will lead us to another round of election lies, social safety net destruction, defunding of education, and corruption.

I'd rather haven Biden than live in Gilead.

Biden cuts a check for genocide

Dem voter: better than trump, better than trump, better than trump, better than trump.

You should get this tattooed on you.

And you're ignoring SCOTUS's part of this.

No I'm including the flaws in the supreme court as apart of a large flawed structure that you insist I buy into and support.

It wasn't zero. Biden ....

I saw exactly zero money for student loans from biden, so that's how many votes he will get from me.

Biden cuts a check for genocide

Bringing this up again and again doesn't help your argument when I've already addressed it.

Dem voter: better than trump, better than trump, better than trump, better than trump.

Have you run out of arguments, leaving you with mocking as your last resort? Or do you have an actual argument here.

I saw exactly zero money for student loans from biden, so that’s how many votes he will get from me.

For you it was zero but it wasn't zero as a whole like you're trying to pretend.

For you it was zero but it wasn't zero as a whole like you're trying to pretend.

Biden ran on debt cancellation, not a debt forgiveness of loams already eligable for debt relief.

This did nothing for me and thus I will give biden nothing.

Or do you have an actual argument here.

Do you? Your only argument is better than trump.

You deserved to be mocked, your playing into the same lesser of Two evils logic they were using with George W bush.

You said it was zero but it wasn't.

Do you? Your only argument is better than trump.

On basically ever single issues Biden is better than Trump I'm at least some way. That's about as good as it can get in our two party system.

You deserved to be mocked, your playing into the same lesser of Two evils logic they were using with George W bush.

You're just using ad hominems. And it shows how dogshit your arguments are.

You said it was zero but it wasn't It was zero for me, and everybody I have ever met.

On basically ever single issues Biden is better than Trump I'm at least some way.

And yet everything still sux.

You: Would you like to eat dog shit or chicken shit. ?

Me : I don't want to eat any shit.

You: you must choose chicken shit or we will have to eat dog shit every day!!!!!

Me: What if we found something other than shit to eat?

You: better than dog shit! better than dog shit! better than dog shit!

And yet everything still sux.

You're not understanding. Everything sucking is better than everything being made intentionally worse.

You: Would you like to eat dog shit or cardboard. ?

Me : I don’t want to eat either

You: you must choose cardboard or we will have to eat dog shit every day!!!

Fixed it.

Me: What if we found something other than shit to eat?

You have not found something better. There are three options:

  1. Cardboard

  2. Shit

  3. You waste your vote and have to eat shit.

So why you think picking number 3 is the best option is beyond me.

Biden is not cardboard in my mind. It is not acceptable or palatable at all.

It's actually really funny to me that you decide to make this choice. To purpose biden is not chicken shit but instead cardboard.

The fact that you look at biden and the genocide that he is directly helping commit, and see that as acceptable, Says a lot more about you than me.

You are a genocide apologist.

It is not acceptable or palatable at all.

Or in other words, carboard.

The fact that you look at biden and the genocide that he is directly helping commit, and see that as acceptable, Says a lot more about you than me.

Dude, cardboard is not acceptable. I never said it was. I have explicitly told you that the current situation is not acceptable.

You are a genocide apologist.

Dude I am so close to getting banned from c/conservative for saying Isreal's genocide is bad. You've got it backwards.

Dude, cardboard is not acceptable. I never said it was. I have explicitly told you that the current situation is not acceptable.

Then why are you accepting it?

A vote for biden is support for him to continue doing what he does. How do you not see that ?

Dude I am so close to getting banned from c/conservative for saying Isreal's genocide is bad. You've got it backwards.

While I can appreciate that. ( although its probably a waste of time) It doesn't absolve you from what your doing here.

You are actively pushing people to vote for a party who absolutely supports the genocide. They are the ones in power now. They are the ones who cut the check. There is always nuance, but there is no watering this down.

Biden supports genocide , you support Biden.

You support genocide.

Then why are you accepting it?

I'm not. I'm specifically voting against it where possible.

A vote for biden is support for him to continue doing what he does. How do you not see that ?

Not really. A vote for Biden is a vote against Trump.

50 is bigger than 5. So I'll vote for 5.

While I can appreciate that. ( although its probably a waste of time)

I'm aware it's largely a waste of time. That's why I do it at work when I'm trying to kill time.

You are actively pushing people to vote for a party who absolutely supports the genocide.

The democratic party is split. That's not good. But in comparison the republicans are at nearly 100% support for the current genocide, plus they are cool with a second one in Ukraine.

Both sides are not equal here.

Biden supports genocide , you support Biden.

You support genocide.

I don't support Biden. I voted against him in the primaries. I hate his policy just as much as you do. You can vote for a politican without agreeing with 100% of what they do.

I'm doing what I can to reduce the impact of this country's terrible politics. And that start with making sure the least bad politician is the one that gets in, because doing nothing means the worst option (Trump) gets put in power.

I could just as easily say you support genocide.

You support Trump. Trump supports genocide. Therefore you support genocide.

zero money for student loans.

I will never forget.

Bruh you already forgot lmao

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-11/student-loan-debt-biden-forgives-127-billion-bringing-borrowers-relief

Through making changes to programs, after SCOTUS rejected his larger plan, $127B in loans has been forgiven.

This brought zero relief to me. So thanks biden for nothing. Nice gotcha tho.

So if you don't personally benefit, it doesn't matter? Don't expect others to care about you if you only care about yourself. Because Biden not forgiving Discoslugs student loans isn't a problem to me, nor anyone else here. I don't see why that should factor into my voting decision or anybody else here's.

Don't expect others to care about you if you only care about yourself.

Like how you are caring about the Palestinian people being genocided rn? by voting for the guy who approved money for their ongoing genocide.

I could ask you the same question.

Fewer Palestinians are going to die under Biden than Trump. Do I wish the number was 0? Yes, absolutely. And I'm really disappointed it isn't. But there's still a choice to make here that'll save Palestinians who would be otherwise killed.

If 10,000 more Palestinians would die under Trump than Biden, and you don't see that as enough reason to vote for Biden, what does that say about how you feel about those 10,000 people?

There's a very easy way to tell the difference between someone paying lip service or using a tragedy as a weapon, and someone who actually cares about the issue. The person who cares doesn't stop when 0 deaths isn't achievable -- they keep working to make the number as close to 0 as possible. And with this context, when the options are to vote for Trump, Biden, or neither, I think the choice is fairly clear.
