Ensign_Crab,

Centrists gonna pretend they don’t still love him.

Ensign_Crab,

but I’ll sure miss his votes on judges

Kavanaugh or Gorsuch?

Ensign_Crab,

I hope she’s the only one. But dammit, Biden’s tryin’.

Ensign_Crab,

The DNC screwing Bernie

In order to help whom?

Ensign_Crab,

Hillary was a disappointment. Debbie was a failure.

Debbie was a resounding success. She did the only thing she was there to do.

Ensign_Crab,

I hope not.

Ensign_Crab,

This was Debbie’s responsibility, and she failed to execute.

Her responsibility was to throw the primary for Clinton. She did so.

Ensign_Crab,

Her duties didn’t change one bit when she left the DNC to work for the Clinton campaign.

Ensign_Crab,

She typifies party leadership to this day.

Ensign_Crab,

Lotta Netanyahu fanboys on lemmy.

Ensign_Crab,

Would be nice if party leadership rallied behind the incumbent like it did with Coathanger Cuellar.

Ensign_Crab,

Good isn’t running.

Ensign_Crab,

Another incumbent the Democratic party won’t protect because and only because she’s a progressive.

But they protected the fuck outta Coathanger Cuellar, ostensibly because he was an incumbent, but in reality because the party prefers a corrupt, anti choice, anti labor nra stooge to a progressive.

Ensign_Crab,

At which point another Trump policy becomes the reasonable moderate policy and we shift to the right.

Again.

Ensign_Crab,

If we’re damned either way, why choose a Trump policy?

Ensign_Crab,

Yet Biden keeps enacting his policies.

Ensign_Crab,

I hope not. Democrats would just put in the barbed wire and look at Republicans hopefully, expecting headpats.

Ensign_Crab,

Shutting down the border is Trump policy. You don’t even remember that far back? Does Biden enacting it make it retroactively good?

Ensign_Crab,

You’re making excuses for Trump’s actions now.

Ensign_Crab,

I’m not.

If you say so.

Ensign_Crab,

You forget: any poll centrists don’t like must be faulty and too far out from the election.

Ensign_Crab,

Because of course she did.

Ensign_Crab,

The catalyst for this shitty timeline we’re in

I was always under the impression that it would have been an albatross.

Ensign_Crab,

The white house won’t even admit it’s a genocide. There is no red line and never will be.

Ensign_Crab,

Well, no western country has either.

So? Does that make continuing to enable genocide right? Is that some sort of fucking justification? If not, why bring it up? “Everyone else is doing it” is another shitty excuse, and the fourth I’ve seen here on lemmy. The other three, summarized:

“That’s the way we’ve always done it;” “We might be called antisemitic by the party that chants ‘Jews will not replace us’;” and “Trump loves it so that makes it ok.”

This is what I mean about support for genocide on lemmy. Making shit excuses for it instead of condemning it.

Ensign_Crab,

In terms of the West, Ireland, Spain, and Norway are probably close to openly calling it a genocide.

It’s getting so bad that even white heads of state are considering calling it the genocide it is.

Ensign_Crab,

and chase them into the far right wing with your false accusations.

If you’re going to be a trump supporter because I dared to suggest that you quit making shit excuses for genocide, you were already a trump supporter.

Ensign_Crab, (edited )

Doing nothing would be an improvement over selling weapons, going to bat for Netanyahu at the UN, and genocide denial.

EDIT: removed ambiguity.

Ensign_Crab,

I meant “doing nothing.”

Ensign_Crab,

I know. That’s why you keep trying to justify support for genocide with excuses.

Ensign_Crab,

That’s not what’s going on, and you know it.

“Everybody’s doing it” is an excuse.

Ensign_Crab,

Yeah, it was worded ambiguously. I’m gonna fix it.

Ensign_Crab,

The US is my country, and it being a democracy and me being a citizen, the only one for which I bear any responsibility.

Though it’s probably easier to get 97 nations to oppose genocide than to convince Joe Biden to.

Netanyahu says deadly Israeli strike in Rafah was the result of a 'tragic mistake' (apnews.com)

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a “tragic mistake” was made in an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah that set fire to a camp housing displaced Palestinians and, according to local officials, killed at least 45 people....

Ensign_Crab,

He’s right. Selling him the weapons to do it was a tragic mistake.

Ensign_Crab,

It’s most of the reason that my block list is so short and consists mainly of spammers who are probably not active anymore.

Ensign_Crab,

Vote for Biden in November and criticize his support for genocide until he stops. I’ve said this more than a few times already.

Ensign_Crab,

Yes, it’s vitally important to change the subject and argue against something I didn’t say.

Ensign_Crab,

I think this is more because of a population imbalance. Left voters are not numerous enough to be worth compromising for – on a purely numbers based assessment.

If they’re a large enough group to blame when ya lose, they’re a large enough group to compromise with.

Ensign_Crab,

More Bernie supporters voted for Clinton in 2016 than Clinton supporters for Obama in 2008, on a percentage basis.

It’s more than that. Clinton supporters started a PAC to get McCain elected when Obama won the nomination. And they’re the same people who keep saying “blue no matter who.”

Ensign_Crab,

Thank god I have centrists to tell me that I mean tons of shit I don’t say.

Ensign_Crab,

There’s definitely a considerable number of so called Democrats who find Republicans favorable to Progressives, which is utterly disgusting and a betrayal of their espoused values. Just like the loud progressive minority though, I’d like to think of them as a whiny minority that doesn’t reflect most people.

And yet in 2008, Obama won despite their efforts at sabotage. To hear centrists talk about it, anyone who so much as thought a positive thought regarding Bernie Sanders is solely responsible for Clinton’s loss in 2016.

We should be able to safely ignore the pampered, spoiled centrists who threw a massive tantrum when they didn’t get 100% of everything they wanted in 2008, and ignore progressives at our peril. We do the opposite.

Ensign_Crab,

Sure. Next time I see the bogeyman, I’ll let him know.

Ensign_Crab,

Mexico City in a few months.

Ensign_Crab,

Oh, it’s way older than Obama. Republicans hated Clinton and Carter.

Ensign_Crab,

How old are you? Israel has been doing this forever, with full US support. It’s been going on for decades before I was born.

So, when do we stop? Has it ever even occurred to you that stopping is possible?

Ensign_Crab,

Your support for genocide is all you will ever be.

Ensign_Crab,

That would be great, i agree we should!

But we’ve been doing it for so long, it must be right!

The sunk cost fallacy is a garbage justification for continuing support for genocide. But there’s no good reason so you have to use garbage excuses.

Trump loudly booed at Libertarian convention when he asks attendees to ‘nominate me or at least vote for me’ (www.cnn.com)

“Now I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me, and we should win together,” Trump said. “Because the Libertarians want to vote for me … and it’s very important because we have to get rid of the worst president in history.”...

Ensign_Crab,

“That’s the way we’ve always done it” is the best argument you have.

It’s pro-genocide shit.
