Turning a big dial labeled “transphobia” while looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on The Price Is Right

In a trans Discord I’m in, someone called Biden “Genocide Joe” and two people were like, “He hasn’t done anything genocidal, what are you talking about?” and it turned out they legitimately did not know what it was about and they had heard vaguely about Palestine and considered Israel the aggressor but had no idea what Biden’s stance on it was or that the US was involved in supplying them with weapons or money.

After October? What happened in October?

He’s giving them actual monetary aid? Wtf? Okay, that’s worse than I thought. I thought it was just a political alignment thing, like saying “we support you”. But if he’s funneling millions of actual money into there, ‘genocidal’ isn’t even an exaggeration!

doesn’t acknowledge planets beyond Saturn

That checks out. I can understand things 1.2 billion km away influencing things on earth, but any further than that is ridiculous.

Libs were always going to punch left no matter what happened, its the free spot on the bingo board.

It happens

Even if you don’t wanna risk that much, surely you can pull out your radio or just fire a shot into the air to alert people.

My conspiracy theory is that Biden ordered the hit but intentionally found the worst shot he could, knowing he’d miss, just to have a chance to demonstrate how civil he could be.

IT WAS A CAMPAIGN 🤣🤣🤣

I think they know it’s bullshit and just say it to be dicks.

If anyone asks, we’re just a bunch of conservative Trump supporters pretending to be leftists as part of an elaborate scheme to suppress Biden’s turnout and I can get a bunch lemmy libs to attest to that. We call people “libs” all the time, and why else would we do that if we weren’t conservatives?

In any case, I think we can all agree that the events that led to the death of the man standing behind Trump were extremely unfortunate and completely inexcusable.

I’m already seeing libs turn on the NYT. They’ve drunk so much of the kool-aid of “Any criticism of Biden for any reason is secretly an attempt to get Trump elected” and they’ve already developed their own BlueAnon lore and they’re increasingly disconnected from reality, actively hostile to truth or evidence. With the situation in Ukraine being increasingly hard to deny, it’s only going to get worse.

Let me say that I remain, like virtually every member of Solidarity, committed to the idea that we must create an independent working-class political party with a socialist program — though as we know from the experiences of the Labor Party (of the 1990s), now defunct, and the Green Party, the political rules of the game make it extremely difficult to do so. I do not believe, as DSA does, that the left should have a strategic orientation to the Democratic Party, because I believe that decades of attempts to reform or realign that party have failed and there is little likelihood of success in the future. Nevertheless, there’s a dang CHEETO running for president!

Abolish the thrones.

Not sacrificing 1000 psykers to Biden is the same as sacrificing 1000 psykers to Trump.

Having a nice lovely chat over the phone with his BFF, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Edit: Wait you said wrong answers

Even when the US was at war with Germany, it was pretty explicitly not about stopping the Holocaust but rather about state interests. The NYT in particular downplayed the persecution of Jews, and it was actually one of the Nazi’s propaganda lines that the Allies were just fighting to protect them.

Anything on the level of influence as a major climate bill?

Well, I can’t say I’ve ever signed a bill that makes oil and gas drilling on public lands a legal requirement for investing in renewable energy, and I also haven’t approved more drilling permits on federal land than Trump, but I can say , unfortunately I’m just one person and it’s not like I have a platform with 600,000 followers to share my thoughts on it or anything.

I can’t imagine how hard it must be to have a debate when you’re suffering from jet lag, a cold, a stutter, and a super-science headache ray, all at the same time.
