Didn't Biden call the dude and enemy of the state on a few occasions?

Impeachment... Colluding with enemies of the state...

I'm being facetious of course, I'd rather they break the tradition of trying to impeach every president on their way out the door, but still, how you gonna have a meeting with someone you yourself called an enemy of the state?

Because he knows Trump is going to Trump and refuse to work with him. Biden's perspective= win win and shows the orange broke dumb shit is all smoke and mirrors.

Trump's supporters don't care, so all it shows that Biden is a fascist collaborator.

How long have you believed Joe Biden is a fascist collaborator?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Since he collaborated on genociding Palestinians by bypassing Congress to ensure Israel got more weapons.

Now he's trying collaborate on a fascist anti-refugee border deal with the fascists and their fascist leader.

Like???

If you're not voting, why haven't you done something already to stop him?

What would make me think that with your track record of doing nothing in the past, that you would start now?

Because I'm not as brave as Aaron Bushnell.

And what did he accomplish for the broader left, except eliminate somebody who could have been participating in direct action?

The Arab Spring was started by a self-immolation in Tunisia. If there's any form of protest that matters, this is it.

It also showed the people struggling on the ground in Gaza that we aren't all heartless monsters in the West, which is why PFLP and Hamas both came out in support. That matters.

It's also an inspiration to all of us and an indictment of our own cowardice. How can we sit at home too afraid to act when someone else can do something so awe inspiring? It's humbling, and we need to be humbled.

What the fuck have you done?

Self-immolation is the one form of protest that matters to you? Your answer to leftists being inactive is to get them to kill themselves?!

Literally doing what?

It's the only protest that has ever accomplished anything. Point me to a single act of protest by any person in history that has ever accomplished as much as self-immolation.

Ask the PFLP and Hamas. They're the ones that actually praised Bushnell and honored their sacrifice.

The GOP as a whole is actively antagonistic with America. But you have to work with them if you want to get anything done.

The exact same way the GOP keeps getting things done: do not capitulate, and tell the people why the other side is wrong. Don't say stupid shit like "we have to pass it to see what's in it!!"

Super easy, barely an inconveninece.

The GOP is mostly into destroying things through inaction, which needs very little work.

To have a functional government to do good things is necessary.

I think your ideas are a naive.

He probably doesn't remember.
