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.
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.
Ah yes, because as we all know, the only thing that matters about politicians is their direct effect on Discoslug's personal well-being, other people be damned...
This has nothing to do with your previous point, I'm just saying that it's ridiculous to judge a politician's performance based on how you personally as an individual benefitted from their policies. Like, we can take the labor wins, and the child tax credit, and the infrastructure bill, and appreciate that even though some of us didn't directly benefit from these it's better for society overall.
Pretty on point for a genocide supporter
I didn't mention the conflict at all, where did you get this from? Would you like to be an adult and maybe ask what my position is before making such a bold assertion that has nothing to do with my previous statement? You're too mad to see the forest for the trees, dude.
This guy has no other arguments. They appear to have just one problem personally affecting them, which is student loan debt; otherwise, they’re fortunate enough to be able to care about one other issue and no more than that. That’s why they’re okay with the possibility of Trump winning because none of his policies will otherwise directly affect them. Must be a charmed life.
How about women then? Because guess who isn’t trying to end reproductive rights? One guess.
This isn’t even on the national level. We just voted here in Ohio to enshrine them into the state constitution, and wouldn’t you know it, the state legislature immediately responded by openly expressing their intent not to abide by the will of the people. Who makes up the majority (~70%) of the legislature here? Again, one guess.
By the way, I also had a choice on the ballot for who is on the board of education. One was a right-winger. The other was… also a right-winger, and an avowed member of Moms For Liberty. Maybe anyone on the left who was qualified for the position thinks like you, that nothing important gets done at the local level. [I voted for neither because, unlike you, I literally had no choice, it was a one-party vote] So now we have two more people on the school board who can and will work to ensure that kids learn the virtues of slavery, “traditional” family roles at the exclusion of all others, the nonexistence of people who are not 100% straight, and so on. But I’m sure that you’re cool with that because none of this pertains to genocide, the most important one solitary issue that matters in our lives. Guess we should stop caring about all that.
If someday my daughter is consigned to be a brood mare in the Dominionist Theocracy of America, don’t expect me to salute you because you “don’t support genocide”, you fucking hero.
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.
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.
