Here's the thing. If we don't vote Biden, we get someone who has already blatantly said he's for genocide and someone who is much much worse than Biden will ever be. We vote him, 4 more years of not ruining democracy, not undoing equal rights, and less chance of a civil war and then he's gone from the presidency for good. These videos seem like a ploy to pull voters from Biden so Trump has a better chance.

Lemmy: What you’ve never heard the legal term justifiable genocide?

This video would all make perfect sense except for the big inclusion of the smiling face of the only US president to put sanctions on Israeli settlers, freeze military aid to Israel, or other weird little weak-sauce attempts to reign in our favorite partner for war crimes out of a whole world of war crime adjacent ally countries. And the assignation of blame to him for the "antisemitism" bill which as far as I know has nothing in particular to do with him.
Is that enough? Fuck no. Does it excuse Biden's support for their crimes including providing literally the bombs that are being used to blow up women and little children and hospitals? Fuck no.
Is it worth digging into why this channel which is supposedly so passionate about advancing left wing causes in the United States, has as its only two videos that I'm familiar with, two very Biden-specific videos (this one and a "why voting is a bad idea if you are a left wing person" video) the logic of which doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you take it at face value, but makes perfect sense if you're trying to come out with a big slick professionally produced video about why left wing people should not try to stop Trump from coming to power? With no particular other solutions to offer, other than making sure Biden doesn't get elected?
Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck yes.

As president he has the ability to restrict arms deals, veto this bill and voice dissent, has said that Palestinian protestors are antisemitic and lawless, has changed his redline so Israel could do more genocide while saving face, has doctored evidence to prove no genocide is occurring, has a cabinet (assigned not elected) voicing unwavering support to Israel, has circumvented congress for arms deals, has voiced support towards police violently breaking up peaceful encampments, has personally relayed fabricated propaganda (40 decapitated babies) to the american public and recanting it privately. You’re asking why the ‘leader of the free world’ is being criticized by communist? Because he’s actively complicit in a genocide and is directly pressured by an upcoming election to change course or inevitably lose. Everyone should be disgusted by biden and working overtime to ensure focus groups begin to show that Israeli support will demolish his chances of getting into office. Otherwise this will continue and quite honestly I don’t believe any of you really cared for this to change.

Dude I'm not saying Biden is good on Israel. He's enabling genocide. If it sounded like I was saying he's doing a good job, I am not.
I am saying it's weird that a video that is super concerned about the plight of the Palestinian people is singularly focused on the one type of action -- finding things that you can look at sideways in such a way that it'll depress support for him in the general election -- that is almost guaranteed to make things worse for them, worse for student protestors, and worse for a whole bunch of other people.
It's like someone in the middle of World War 2 who's very very concerned for the plight of oppressed people who is suddenly very very vocal about the fact that Churchill is a racist warmongering dickface. Like yes... he is. Why are you saying that and what is your alternative you're pushing? If it is "let's do uncommitted votes, let's do a protest, let's divest from Israel, let's resign from the State Department, let's do these things that will put pressure on Biden now and generally hopefully help the Palestinians," then fuckin-a let's rock and roll, we can be friends. If it is "let's let Trump come to power because I'm mad that Biden is continuing American empire and all its crimes instead of ending it," I'm gonna have some questions about your motivation in saying that.
Surely that makes sense? Or no?
