I don't have the energy for a whole thought out post but Biden signed a thing to ban TikTok and the language in the bill says that the president gets to determine what's a foreign app and whether or not it'll be banned.

It's incredibly fucking vague language which is awesome. I love when censorship bills could be applied to anything and everything and I especially love when those bills are passed when everyone's mind is on fascism and fears of a fascist dictator getting the presidency.

I love that the president has the power to censor apps and such within that context.

.....I truly do not know how many more times I can say "Biden is a fascist" without strangling every liberal who argues with me about it. Like how many steps to fascism does it take for y'all to realize he's one of them???

Non-fascists don't take steps towards fascism!! Hello!! like genuinely what the fuck are y'all thinking

If you abstain from voting for Biden over a stupid useless app that lowers your attention span, then you’re unbelievably droolingly stupid.

In other words, a MAGA voter

My appearance on BBC News tonight speaking about the US Ukraine aid package President Biden signed into law

Investigate. Indict. Prosecute. Incarcerate.

Let the Freedom Flotilla set sail!

Genuinely, do you believe that Biden as president in 2024 would not be less harmful than Trump as president in 2024? This is not a gotcha or an attempt to change your mind, I want to know what your opinion is. And I do mean worldwide, not just in the US.

This is why people voted for Biden. He was the "safe" choice, right? He was the choice of "harm reduction"

Then he helped jumped start a genocide and hasn't stopped sending it's perpetrator's bombs and money. Tell me. If a genocide starts under your presidency and you help fuel it in every way you can, are you reducing harm or increasing it?

"do you believe he would not be less harmful"

I can't roll my eyes hard enough.

I don't know who would be less harmful or more harmful at this point. Genocide is one of the most inhumane and awful acts you could possibly do.

Like does matter how much worse it gets? Are we really going to sit here and argue about how much worse we should let things get before we do something besides vote??

"do we vote for the guy commiting genocide or the guy who might put gays in concentration camps"

That sounds like a heavy handed line in a satire about our elections but no it's a real "genuine" question for people.

My opinion is full fucking stop we need to start killing politicians again.

I no longer care if the answer isn't a revolution.

I'm Ojibwe and Mexican and can't express into human language how fucking absurd it is that Americans are sitting in front of their ps5s and Pcs and tvs in next to their families on stolen land talking about which people deserve to live; that you would ask me, a political Tumblr blogger what my "genuine" opinion is on the matter.

Sometimes people ask me this and I don't whether you're looking to be absolved for your complacency or if you Really genuinely can't decide which war criminal to vote for.

And I don't know which one implies worse for our collective future.

That genocidal state forces are using drones and loudspeakers over the nuseirat camp, broadcasting cries of women and children to lure and target civilians.

people in the global south: hey isnt it so fucked up how america basically dictates world geopolitics and can directly fund and endorse our murder and displacement no matter who is in charge and how the system fundamentally prevents people from changing that and that americans who feign allyship make no effort to change that?

some annoying fucking white person with hufflepuff in their bio: so you're telling me you want me to vote for trump right. is that what you want. you want me to vote for the orange man. you're a russian bot aren't you

you know what, fuck joe biden. fuck joe biden. i am so deeply enraged tonight. thousands of palestinians have been murdered in a genocide funded by US tax dollars, and his administration thinks it's a good time to post memes?? most young people i know are living paycheck to paycheck (or debt to debt), and they think they can appeal to us by posting goddamn memes? at least one hundred people were killed in rafah due to an israeli air strike during the superbowl, and biden posts a dark brandon meme? what the absolute fuck? over twelve thousand children have been murdered in cold blood by the israeli military, funded by the united states, funded by my goddamn taxes, and biden tweets about seats on airplanes? i can't afford to buy meat, but thank god part of my paycheck is being spent on bombing children. i am ashamed i voted for him. if i ever met the man, i would spit on him. i would throw both my shoes at him. i am disgusted and angry. god fucking damnit

Fundamentally, if the democrats lose the presidency in 2024, it will not be because of "voter apathy" or "the idealistic left" or Cornell West or whatever third party candidate the liberals end up blaming. It will be because the democrats have failed to meet the lowest standards of many Americans.

You can talk about strategic voting until you're blue in the face, but fundamentally, people need reasons to vote for a candidate. There are people in this country watching as their family members get slaughtered by American arms, sent to Israel by Joe Biden. The people watching their families get murdered in Palestine have no reason to support Joe Biden. How can you ask them to?

"Sorry your family got bombed, but I need you to vote for the man who is directly responsible, or *real* people are going to suffer too."

It was at this point While I was drafting this post that I heard he just started bombing Yemen. It's like he's doing everything in his power to sink his own fucking campaign, are you shitting me? This isn't a matter of "stupid commies not being realistic enough", he's not just working for the status quo; just about every action he has taken since October 7th has been an escalation of conflict in the Middle East and made it worse for everyone living there. This is exactly what I'm talking about.

You can scold people for voting wrong as much as you want, but fundamentally the way that democrats can win elections is by pursuing good policy. If the only argument you can come up with in favor of Joe Biden is that he won't do 1 or 2 of the terrible things that Trump wants to do, then that will simply not appeal to the people who are most intensely affected by Biden's failures (not to mention people who have moral objections to genocide, even when it doesn't affect them). You can scream and cry all you want, people are not going to just overlook his role in the ethnic cleansing of Gaza just because he is the Less Bad Genocider.

If a republican wins the presidency in November, you can blame the hundreds of thousands of voters/nonvoters who should've agreed with you and put aside every moral concern they ever had about the Biden administration... or you can blame the one fucking guy whose massive foreign policy failures are going to tank his re-election campaign.
