Biden's Middle East Policy Is Horrific. Trump's Would Be Even Worse

I’m a said this before… You can hate both.

What is your definition of tankie?

You guys really like to use the word "tankie", but you have no idea what it means do you?

If this horror continues until January, Gaza is already gone.

As horrible as you think it is, it can get worse. A lot worse.

Time is running out for Hamas to torture and kill Palestinians. This is a good thing.. Embrace it.

We could vote for someone else. We just have to do three very important things:

1. Stop bickering amongst ourselves.
2. Come together under a single unified stratagem even if we don't all agree 100% on it. This can be substituted for coming under a unified banner.
3. Continue pushing after the election has ended instead of the usual "Oop, election done. All good." and then panic four years later.

ALL OF THESE, each individual step, are massive steps to expect and to take. Yet they are what would fix things. The biggest hurdle, in my opinion, is finding leaders people can rally behind. Because make no mistake: Anyone leading this would be in significant danger, and I think most people know that.

The reason you don't see working people truly represented in politics is because whole system was set up by rich people a long time ago and there was a good reason for that - they had the money and time to devote to it. The same is true today. Most working folks simply do not have the time and resources, or will, to find and support the people they want to see in power. Additionally, the modern oligarchs keep most occupied with entertainment and worrying about "the other" folks. As the rich consolidate wealth it becomes even more true. Now we can add espionage into the equation. Russia, China and Iran benefit by pouring money into destabilization tactics through psyops programs designed to destabilize the US. This is accomplished through massive social disinformation, like we often see here and on Fox.

Unless you mean "because they emigrate", then they're not that smart. By not voting, they acquiesce to whatever becomes policy. They silence their own voice. Pretty damn stupid imo

Trump literally wants to execute Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.

Where will you find that in this election?

So instead of helping keep democracy from crumbling to the ground… you’re just going to step aside because you don’t feel listened to?

Dude… you’re not the only one in the country. It’s virtually impossible for a sitting president to make even half of the country happy with their policy…

Maybe look up what Biden has done just over the past four years compared to the previous 4. Then read up on Project 2025. Then have some responsibly to those that live on your country that are quite possibly going to lose only their rights as human beings if they’re lucky.

This isn’t a fucking joke man. Vote and then spend the next four years actually doing the work it takes to make the change you want. I even give you a bit of advice…

It’ll take a lot more than whining on the internet. It’s going to be hard work. But if you do it right, 2028 could be something to look forward to.

Democrats dont have a better choice because they never hold their politicians accountable.

Republicans don't either, something that such statements should reflect. I wish there were a better nominee to vote for, but given that Republicans have benefitted from protests on issues that would be handled even worse by them, statements critical of current policy shouldn't be made without the context of what would instead be done if Trump wins the presidential election.

Better vote Republican then!

Non voters are the largest most powerless block of the population. Vote third party! Push these bums out!

ROFL… I was young and idealistic once as well. The difference is, I was afforded the time to be ignorant.

You aren’t.

Pay attention. A lot is at stake here.

Not when Trump is the alternative.

Six day old account? Block!

So stupid. We have to change the voting system before a “third party” will make any difference. It will take years of lobbying, marching, fighting. Your lazy little protest vote will accomplish nothing. The two parties control the electoral college. No third party has a chance till the system changes. Plus, no current third party is REMOTELY close to being a contender. Last time it even had a chance was Bernie if he ran independent in 2016 after the DNC screwed him and he chose not to. Just voting third party when no third party is showing any sign of winning, in an election like this, is so irresponsible. It proves you have no understanding of government. It’s acting like a child taking their ball and going home.

If you think they are the same you are the most privileged of people.

Stop supporting Trump

Are comments like this your plan for getting millions of people to vote third party? Because unless you get several million to do that, they have zero chance of winning

If you want to make a meaningful change, you have to play the long game. Right now, we have to vote to mitigate even worse disasters. If I had a viable third party in the presidential race, I would vote for them.

But the key word is viable. We don't have one. So while Biden isn't my favorite, my vote is less for him and more against Trump.

If you want to have a chance to see a third party that more represents your political views, you'll need to campaign for a third party in local, state, and congressional elections for probably decades until they become popular enough to become a viable contender for the presidential office.

But in this presidential election, advocating for voting third party only benefits one person and that's someone who not only would allow a worse genocide but will actively harm people in your community. Voting third party because Biden is complicit makes your actions, as noble and idealistic as you think they are, actively create a worse situation and makes you just as complicit in the pain and suffering that Trump will cause.

So campaign and vote third party in local, state, and congressional elections and build that following to disrupt the two party system. But you've already lost the presidential election.

Genocide Joe died in 1953.
