did you buy a lottery ticket yet?
Ignoring the genocide in Gaza are we? Do liberals realize how insulting this is?
Not completely ignoring - I assume that was the swipe about “only engages in genocide reluctantly” was about.
Myself, I agree with you that we haven’t seen much sign of that reluctance.
I don’t know if you can read the text easily on mobile, but there’s a joke in the text describing there about how he is indeed committing genocide.
Not American, but “less worse than the other guy,” doesn’t seem like a winning argument to me.
This is how FPTP elections work, unfortunately, and this will always be the case unless we switch to parliamentary system elected by proportional voting.
Seems like that argument has won thousands of elections all over the world. This guy “less worse” seems very popular and speaks a crazy amount of languages.
How?
I’m in NZ, we have a whole bunch of politicians to choose from, and it always comes down to who is the least likely to fuck things up beyond repair. It is not often that an objectively good candidate, everyone has their flaws.
In this example the question is not is Harris an objectively good candidate, but is she objectively better than Trump?
In my opinion yes, yes she is! Trump is the worst, the way he has emboldened the far right world wide is truly terrible.
This is anti Hitler propaganda, because you chose a pic where AH isn’t smiling to make him look more hitler 😑
You know, I just realized I don’t think I’d ever seen a picture of Hitler smiling.
So I looked it up. And there are plenty of them. And he looks…nice. Like, it’s weird. He looks like the fun uncle. He looks like there should be a mockumentary of him where he’s played by Steve Carell.
One of the big things they taught us in history lessons was how he came across very charismatic and that he was good at winning people over.
It’s really important for people to understand and learn in order to not repeat the mistakes of populism, evil people don’t generally go around shouting about how evil they are.
Looking at the past 4000 years of human history, starting with the Egyptian Pharaohs:
Nope. People dont care, people dont learn. Especially when the make a whole display of how much they learned, like Germany does, you should be worried. Behind the facade lies the fascism, like it is currently furthered by most German political parties.
I’m pretty sure that he kept his relationship with his wife a secret, so that women in the country would be interested in him
I thought it was to give of the image that he was married to the country, showing his patriotism or whatever
Yeah, maybe that was a reason too
Populism isn’t a bad term. People think that they’re exceptional try to portray it that way. These people are usually fascists of one sort or another.
there should be a mockumentary of him where he’s played by Steve Carell.
There’s one with Charlie Chaplin
You got me. I confess: I have a bias against hitlers.
Councilor Uunona is devastated by this news.
the reboot of XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS* we all wanted to see.
*Mary Walsh letting out an evil “I told you so” kackle
Well then, good news!
lol, yeah.
Put us in the c/agedlikemilk screenshot!
Is it not still accurate?
trump is pretty braindead at this point. I’m pretty sure if he was beheaded he would keep talking for several days but wouldn’t make any less sense
Ah, but he’s the antichrist and will bring in the apocalypse.
My death cult demands it and I’ll be damned if I don’t get Raptured!
Trump only raptures you if you’re under 14
Ewwww
I like to think this is what they used to convince him to step down.
Thank you for showing me how simple and shallow the American mind is…
If you don’t regard brown people as human Biden is not a Hitler.
He seems to get along with Obama and kamela Harris fine.
Ah yes
The “Some of my best employees are black” argument
Biden is also Hitler. He is racist and fascist. Should meet your every qualifying metric
I was surprised by this comment… Until I saw you just joined here (probably from Reddit) where comments like that get upvoted by bots and it’s a echo chamber which has gone full stupidity as of late in many subs
There’s literally no evidence of that.
And the fact he has just endorsed a black woman for president makes it more ridiculous.
Biden is also Hitler. He is racist and fascist.
Prove it.
He’s using the ancient rhetorical device of “I know you are, but what am I?”.
Oh both sides are the same ?
That tune again.
One Hitler is attempting to make progress towards education, establishing renewables, fixing the failures of redlining, further investing in farming, protecting natural reserves, alleviate student debt, bring manufacturing state side, holding companies more accountable, having politicians that actually represent their constituents, having a focus on making medication more available and making fairly significant strides in funding for cancer research.
And well, the other Hitler is attempting to become president for the rest of his life, bury the voices of minority and LGBT voices in the sand and preventing these people from holding cabinet positions, vying for corporate tax write-offs, and campaigning on literal hatred.
But yeah, both sides are the same for us. None of it matters because both would participate in the war machine.
Sorry, the idea that Trump would be better for Gaza is literally insane to me. He has said “finish the problem” in support of Israel, so, in fact, no he would not be better. He would be far, far worse. In literally every aspect imaginable. Side note: Biden has been criticized lately for not being present in cabinet meetings. Trump was literally not present at the same ones during his time in office. We are voting for the Presidential Cabinet, not just the President.
Do we want someone like Betsy DeVoss for Secretary of Education again? Do we really want someone like Scott Pruit for the head of the EPA again? Like come on people, Biden sucks in so many ways but he has a cabinet that at least attempts to be beneficial for people like us. Queer politicians can actually feel safe having a job in the government, and the more of us that exist in politics the more change we can make.
Edit: Wrote all this before learning Biden has dropped out. Wow!
Not sure I understand, how is literally hitler not a hitler?
He’s not Not a Hitler
The label says “Not a hitler?”.
The X means you fail at not being a hitler. Hitler fails this test.
Ahhh. Slow day for me, thanks for clarifying.
Double negatives FTW
You should ask the Gazans how Hitlerian they think Biden is if there’s any left
The truth is, you didn’t need to convince me. I think Biden is a monster. The meme is a set of jokes written in the voice of a mainstream American political pundit, not a genuine reflection of my personal attitudes.
My personal attitudes are that every US president is a war criminal, and Biden, Bush, Cheney, and Blinken should be hauled off to the international criminal court.
Dude fuck off, I’m sorry but there is no viable “tell Israel to get fucked” candidate. Biden isn’t bombing Gaza personally, the US military isn’t bombing Gaza. The GOP has showed they staunchly want to see it escalate and wipe Gaza off the map completely, this is a holy proxy war for them. Israel and its genocide has overwhelming support in US politics. None of this makes it right, but it does make it not a relevant issue in this presidential race.
It’s nice to see that some people will morally compromise for “just a little genocide”, either enacted or enabled (which is functionally the exact same). Must be so convenient and freeing to be so absent the weight of a conscience.
It must be so freeing to live a life so simple and ignorant that you think your little world can be zero harm and morally perfect while living a lifestyle that would be remotely sustainable for the world. The world is a big and scary place and a democracy is made up of a myriad of perspectives on the world. We all do the best we can with the choices we have. To pretend that we can accomplish anything by refusing to participate in an imperfect system is absurd fantasy.
By all means protest, organize etc toward noble goals. But don’t act like “both candidates bad, myeh” is a real stance.
If both candidates support genocide then my moral line in the sand is crossed, no reasonable person who’s against genocide can vote for either. But if genocide is on your list of ok things, then I’m sure it’s a very complicated issue for you.
Don’t worry, your mother and I will teach you about the basics about morality when you’re an adult.
This is pretty fundamental trolley problem stuff. If one choice kills 10 million and the other choice kills 5 million but protects the other 5 million, you refusing to participate entirely isn’t a noble stand, it’s saying you don’t give a shit about the other 5 million.
I care too much about these vulnerable people to help these other vulnerable people while not actually helping the other vulnerable people is just being an idiot.
Honestly not gonna lie, I wish Hitler was a even weaker candidate than he is today.
And so… It begins.
