Only one of them wants to actively kill my queer friends, so yeah, it matters.
- Alsephina ( @Alsephina@lemmy.ml ) English18•8 months ago
Both of them want to actively kill Palestinians, including its queer population. “The lesser evil” one is currently bypassing congress to do so
Sounding alot like this rn

Cool story, still matters for my non-palestinian queer friends.

Notice how you haven’t addressed how dems are any different from reps if both are okay with a genocide so long as they themselves are fine.

No queer friends in Palestine, I’m guessing. But even if only people in the US deserve life, Biden isn’t doing anything to stop LGBQT rights from being dismantled. It will get worse even if Biden wins a second term. If Democrats didn’t codify Roe v. Wade when they had the chance, why do you think they will do anything concrete to protect them, when they can use their fear to scare them into voting for them.

Yup, the same dynamic as the right and immigration. More to gain using as a political football instead. The tactics are from the same, cynical playbook, and partisans are happy to play along when it’s their team.

Biden only passively wants to kill us and is willing to look the other way when states do it, youre right.

it matters. one is an accelerationist the other is a conservative of the status quo. neither are going to improve anything but one will try his most to destroy any confidence.
- Alsephina ( @Alsephina@lemmy.ml ) English13•8 months ago
one will try his most to destroy any confidence
Talking about Biden? You know, the one currently supporting a genocide? I’d think that counts as trying “his most to destroy any confidence”

Damn you really destroyed my comment there 😔
- Franconian_Nomad ( @Franconian_Nomad@feddit.de ) 3•8 months ago
I don’t have to destroy your comment. Everyone with half a brain already knows that you‘re talking bullshit.
Arguing with people like you is just a waste of time.
- Alsephina ( @Alsephina@lemmy.ml ) English8•8 months ago
Sure sure.
- Franconian_Nomad ( @Franconian_Nomad@feddit.de ) 5•8 months ago
Yeah, sorry. Everyone who thinks Trump and Biden are the same, has no political education and or is blinded by ideology. And has, simply put no eyes in his head.
You’re an idiot. And you’re little downvote brigade changes nothing about that.
- porcariasagrada ( @porcariasagrada@slrpnk.net ) English2•8 months ago
germany is doing the same. so i guess confidence isn’t being destroyed between those two. but is was talking about the american isolationist trump.

For the first one, it’d be great if the US actually let NATO destroy itself, but that’s just rhetoric to get Russia to ally with the US against China; like they allied with China against the USSR in the Cold War. Unfortunately the US would never truly antagonize NATO; Trump would just be assassinated and replaced like JFK was for wanting to abolish the CIA.
For the second… you’re currently watching a zionazi president bypassing congress to hasten the Palestinian genocide.

Canada has straight up said we have a doomsday plan if the US goes really wonky.

Do we have a doomsday plan if a fascist becomes prime minister like Pierre Poilievre?
- CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) 1•8 months ago
I see him as more of an opportunist catering to fascists. But no, if the call is coming from inside the house, it’s a much bigger problem.

That’s the plan…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
With a divided electorate and gridlock in Congress, the next American president could easily become consumed by manifold challenges at home — before even beginning to address flashpoints around the world, from Ukraine to the Middle East.
In campaign speeches, Trump remains skeptical of organizations such as NATO, often lamenting the billions the U.S. spends on the military alliance whose support has been critical to Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invasion.
Politics at University College London, said that whoever wins the presidential race, the direction of travel will be the same – toward a multipolar planet in which the United States is no longer “the indisputable world superpower.”
Germany is the second-largest donor of military aid to Kyiv, behind the U.S., but Scholz recently told German weekly Die Zeit that the country couldn’t fill any gap on its own if “the U.S.A. ceased to be a supporter.”
China, where leaders’ initial warmth toward Trump soured into tit-for-tat tariffs and rising tensions, little changed under Biden, who continued his predecessor’s tough stance toward the United States’ strategic rival.
