IDK, maybe when more people here are getting screwed over, libs will radicalize and get off their asses instead of trying to guilt us for not giving legitimacy unconditionally to their favorite “lesser evil” bourgeois party.
Of course, using their meager leverage to extract concessions from the people supposedly representing them never crosses their minds…
Also imagine having the audacity to call us privileged when you see what’s going on in Gaza as a “single issue” instead of an escalation of violence by the ruling class that can and will go back to us.
There are queer people, disabled people, and homeless people in Palestine. Why do they matter less than people where you live?
WHY DO THEY MATTER LESS MOTHERFUCKER?
There’s a hell of a lot more people who are homeless now than there were before Israel started dropping bombs but you do you I guess

It’s just so self-evidently argument from “I don’t care about these peoples’ suffering but I can tell you do so I’m going to shove them in your face so I can get what I want” that I’m amazed they think it works.
more americans should just openly admit they hate people outside their borders
It’s not hatred, it’s indifference as well as an ideology that renders anyone outside their own lives as sacrificial red shirts to be used up by global capitalism. They view people the same way they view dormant oil reserves.
“single issue”
Yeah, because outright saying “people don’t want to vote for Biden solely because they oppose genocide” would make you sound like a ghoul
Yeah that’s the weirdest part.
He also broke the rail strike. He has concentration camps for asylum seekere at the border! He presided over the dismantling of abortion rights, and didn’t use the expansive powers the court gave him to protect them. He’s funneling weapons to Banderites (gotta be extra careful with this spicy one here, libs love Banderites). He was, relatedly, clearly involved in corruption in Ukraine with his kid. He didn’t immediately kill, publicize and disavow the anti-vax conspiracy theory psyop he inherited from Trump.
The truth is that if he was otherwise perfect but still supported genocide, I would be a single issue voter and refuse to vote for him or for Kopmala, but I’m actually not a single issue voter, I already hated this old demonic cadaver.
Sorry sweaty, New York Times told me that Azov is reformed now and that they’re actually just really wholesome freedom fighters now
Also that’s not the only reason we hate him anyway, it’s just the worst thing he’s doing out of a long list
Ok, I’ll be a multi issue voter then.
What has the current administration done for queer, disabled, or homeless people?
Yeah. The people I know that fit these categories are near unanimously saying Free Palestine
WE DID IT JOE WE FIXED HOMELESSNESSWhat happened that made it go down? Covid eviction protections?
And huge, accessible unemployment benefits. Crazy how easy it was for the US to just fix everyone’s problems temporarily!
Exactly what I was thinking. No, Republicans aren’t going to make things better for queer, disabled, and homeless people, but I was watching the Democrats with hope. My first presidential election I voted for Biden, hoping he could improve mental health care and LGBT+ rights. (and others, but these affect me personally) The party then proceeded to fail to deliver any of that. AND THEN they went to go fund and supply a genocide. Didn’t know the bar could go lower but damn if it didn’t get down.

Same. I feel like a lib whenever I’m around anyone I know fitting that description lol, they’re way more hard lined than I am

Half of the electorate does not vote, outnumbering all voters of any persuasion combined.
If you are scolding people about voting, start pounding pavement drumming up those votes. Doorknocking means actually listening to other people’s issues and being persuasive, not being a judgemental prick blasting others in yet another moral screed.
No mass line, only votescold
When they’re trying to get elected is when you should push hardest… It’s antidemocratic to suggest otherwise
Libs: Wow, you’re not gonna let in the serial killer to fix the sink? You want us to be without water? He mostly just kills homeless people! How can you distrust someone for that!?
This isnt even basic international solidarity. This is the basic “have a shred of empathy”. If you are ignorant (idk how), there may be an excuse there, but if you know it’s a genocide and dont make that a red line, then what kind of fucking person are you?
Reminds me of this post I made 5 months ago. Might come in handy. Please add onto it and correct me because I’m a
about your favorite issue and was spitballing for a couple minutes
I don’t think Biden being a pragmatic choice is a settled matter. I haven’t seen anything that implies he is a meaningful distinction on things I care about.
Israel? Nope
Student debt? Nope
Abortion? Nope
Unions? Nope
Climate change? Nope
The border? Nope
Homelessness? Nope
War on drugs? Nope
Inflation? Nope
Tax lobbying? Nope
Healthcare? Nope
LGBT protection? Maybe if you squint your eyes
Campaign finance? Nope
Difference between productivity and purchasing power? Nope
Copyright? Nope
Breaking up big business monopolies? Nope
Oh yeah…
And…
WAR??? FUCKING NO
The worst most hawkish fascist military might that has ever existed and continues to constrict the entire planet? Nope
The only difference is whether fascists get radicalized or they get emboldened
I am queer. Being so contributed to me being hotel homeless last year. Not officially but before that I was disabled from hurting myself for a solid year. Did I miss an extra 600 dollars of Biden bucks somewhere?
Yes I am a single issue voter. My single issue is anti-genocide Its me, the person who knows everyone
Genocide is a red line. Cope
There is something so wrong accusing someone of having privelage when you are voting for a monster that is the reason children starve to death or die by bombs
