But they did vote for trump who vowed to commit genocide so….

donjenver.bsky.social•39 days ago

begged for a fucking year for anyone to pay attention to how easy the solve for this was. how little actual leverage was needed because how much influence we as a country hold over their means. But nope.

Nobody wanted to admit that when it came to Palestinians, Biden turned into Hitler.

so many "just be quiet so we can win the election" people. who ignored the whole time all the things they were doing to lose the election. I don't think any one thing cost the Dems this election. But it was so obvious for a year that this would be one of the core issues when they lost.

I knew it would be Gaza and I remember exactly when I knew. I was chatting with a bunch of men from the South (who all assume I'm also a white man) in my electronics repair chat group. Most of them longtime Democrats, all refused to vote for Dems this time due to the genocide. I was stunned.

I spoke to a Palestinian-American today who not only voted but campaigned for Biden in 2020. He's almost suicidal because we are all aware now that so many dead Palestinians would still be alive had Trump won. Imagine knowing you helped put a guy into office who massacred your people.

That’s so sad about the person who campaigned for Biden in 2020. We had no way of knowing such an atrocious event would occur! And trump could easily have been worse. I canvassed for Obama and regret it, but the truth was generally well hidden back then. 💔😣

We did, though. It was easy to be distracted, but Biden's been telling us what an evil shitstain he is since the Clarence Thomas hearings. And before.

The mistake was in not standing up to the Democratic part back at the nomination stage in 2020. And appying our own red lines and meaning it.

People didn't want to acknowledge that when it came to Palestinians, Biden was a fucking racist monster like Hitler. That's why we kept retweeting stories of Reagan and Bush calling Israel in, to show that he's a genocidal fuck even for an American president. Many of you refused to see it

Biden greenlit genocide. Trump doesn’t want to start his term with Gaza on his plate. Does that necessarily imply that pro-settlement Donald "Trump Heights" in the Golan Heights Trump, would have said no to the destruction of Gaza had he been in power in 2023-24? Did he ever clearly say so?

Biden has shown again and again that he’s a bloodthirsty ghoul and I won’t fucking forget it.

Harris, too, in fairness

I resented the hell out of voting for Biden in 2020. I let some people convince me he was somewhat reformed. I resented the hell out of seeing the Dems enforce pay-to-play for debate spots. I knew since the 80s what a shit Trump was.

I'll regret that vote for this life and the next. Never again.

Diplomat for whom?

It will be up to future generations to document the point at which the USA (and its vassal states) abandoned the idea of impartial international law altogether.

Certainly the fall of the USSR seems to have to emboldened them to do it, but was Biden, in his dotage, the exact point?

metaphysiology.bsky.social•38 days ago

If you read the likes of Randolph Bourne, you'll come away with the conclusion that the USA's original project for international law (i.e. Wilson's 14 points, etc.) was already run through with an impartial, particularly Anglo-sympathetic bias.
