Politics Official 2024 Presidential Election Thread

I'm just showing that hypocrisy lives on both sides of the political spectrum. To me, people should be going to jail for hiding Biden's mental capacity and he should be forced out NOW while the world burns in his wake.

But bIdEn Is BeTtEr ThAn TrUmP so it's excused.

 

I generally don't like to assign cartoonish labels to people. I don't know if Trump is evil. He's a garbage person. If he's evil, I would say Biden is evil. Different kinds but both evil. I think one can make the argument that Biden is actually worse. We need to burn both these parties to the ground instead of putting up with the seizure of our taxes to enrich them and the rest of the oligarchs.

 

So Trump is not in a party. This is a different level of evil. There's nothing cartoonish about that. This is Hitler this is Stalin this is a bad mother fucker. You can say that he's stupid or not as smart as the other two, but he has already had control over the greatest military power that's ever existed. He is smart enough.

There is no comparison between Biden and Trump. And nobody gives a flying fuck about Biden. I don't even know why you keep bringing him up. He's no longer relevant.

 

How the hell are you going to compare Hitler and Stalin, who killed millions of people, to a reality show host? WTF? This is the hyperbole that people are so sick of. Then when there's actual danger, they don't listen. It's nonsense. Joe Biden is LITERALLY the President of the free world RIGHT NOW. That's plenty relevant. And the world is burning on his watch.

 

Every president is a war criminal. Period. It reduces out of the equation for a lot of people when faced with a choice between candidates. All national level politicians, and most state level politicians, are war criminals through complicity. Again, table stakes in our political system. We are a colonizing force, an empire that put itself above the rest of the world, and does immense evil around the world.

All of this is a baseline for our political choices. Both candidates will commit unspeakable acts of cruelty to the world. Both will also do this to their own citizenry, but to greater or lesser extents. We are allowed to choose the one that hurts us less if both will hurt the world the same amount.

I think there are arguments to be made about the two foreign policies we have to choose from here, and Harris’s will not be better than Biden’s. But Trump’s will be worse than Biden’s.

It is demoralizing and shameful. But it is also a meaningful choice.

 

Because Trump almost certainly WOULD kill millions of people if he could have.

You know what makes Hitler's acts such a tragedy? That Germany allowed it to happen. And even then, it took Hitler 12 years to kill that many people.

The US had just enough guardrails in place to prevent Trump from committing those acts and get rid of him after only 4 years. But he broke of LOT of those guardrails down.

Nobody is going to vote for Biden. There is no more lever we can use against him. He's lame duck. Irrelevant. Nobody gives a shit about him.

The world is where it would be regardless of which party were in power (with the exception of Trump). I'd argue it's better off than if republicans had the white house, but regardless, it's in a FAR better place than it was under Trump. Another four years would have made our current situation look like paradise. If you don't think Trump is that dangerous then you haven't been paying attention. That asshole wanted to turn the military against civilians. Another few years and he'd be rounding up brown people and LGBTQIA+. Russia would be attacking Romania and Poland by now.

Not a doubt in my mind.

*Edit* And Israel would be getting every bit of support from us that they are now, and probably far more.

 

Elon Musk is funding campaign ads aimed at Muslims in Michigan calling Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff America's premier pro Israel power couple. He is funding campaign ads aimed at Jews in Pennsylvania calling Kamala (mispronounced) Harris pro Palestinian and anti Israel.

 

Did he say this today? I know it was posted today, but if he said it today, it would be especially ironic because the Democratic mayor of Hamtranck, Michigan, the only city in America with a Muslim majority population, endorsed Trump today and gave him a certificate of appreciation.
