Fred Hampton was killed because he was a communist, not a “leftist”. His FBI file, the statements from the police, and the statements from officials involved all explicitly blame his communist sentiment and work with communist orgs for the police state’s…attention…on him. He didn’t advocate for a liberal national party. Do not insult him by misrepresenting him or his death.

But okay. That phrase just doesn’t separate her from Biden when that’s what the tweet is about.

I didn’t say anything. I asked for clarification on liberals’ general sentiments.

But according to the comment I replied to, she wouldn’t be “better”, she would be the same. That’s my question, which I don’t get how that’s bad faith. If she’s “the most left wing since FDR”, but Biden is already that, in what way is that an argument for her? What point is the comment making? You’re not explaining anything.

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying, “smart guy”. So what does it mean to be “the most left wing president since FDR”? If Biden already is that, what does it matter if Warren would be?

Wait, liberals have been saying that Biden is the “most left wing president since FDR” for his entire term. Have you all changed your mind?

I think countries like Israel and the US enacting and enabling a genocide and constantly bombing countries in the middle east has “emboldened countries like Iran” (hmm, I wonder what you meant with that phrasing…). Israel just struck an Iranian embassy last week, and this is retaliation.

“There’s an argument” you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Can I pick something off Disk 2? It’s Bangers + Mash.

The lyrics, Thom’s crazed singing, the way the instruments drop out and back in throughout the verses, the stumbling overlapped drum patterns, the opposing guitars, 1 repetitive and monotonous and the other with a frantic riff…

If we’re talking on the album, it’s Jigsaw Falling into Place. Bodysnatchers, 15 Step, Weird Fishes, and House of Cards are all very close though.

Edit: Did you even read the article you linked? That is Trump telling Israel’s leader that he needs to stop attacking Palestinians. Do you think that’s bad?

I never said or implied that it would be. It won’t be different under Biden either. Which is my point.

Although there is a case to be made about Biden’s long history of gleefully jumping at every chance he gets to murder Arabs over his entire political career.

It’s the life of someone going about their existence, trying to enjoy a performance vs the lives of people who willingly signed up for a dangerous job to serve the world’s bloodiest empire.

Thinking you can do morality with numbers is sociopath behavior.

Do I hate the fact that centrists like Joe Liberman who literally killed universal healthcare in the US are revered and embraced by Biden’s party?

Joe Biden explicitly said he would veto any legislation involving universal healthcare. You oppose universal healthcare, but you’re hiding behind the spectre of “centrists”.

See what’s happening to the Palestinians now under Biden.

I’d rather just not vote for genocide.

Aside from the obvious, that will just be continuing to tell the two parties that nominating genocide supporters is good. You can continue telling your favorite party that you are okay with genocide, but I will not, thank you very much. This is why you are stuck between two genocide supporters. When your chosen party leaves you with a genocide supporter as your only choice, you tell them that’s good.

And you are not going to fight the genocide in any other way, so don’t pretend. Your chosen party is one of the two that ratified bills to make any attempts at boycotts or sanctions illegal.

Also, both candidates are fascists. Look at what’s happening on our Southern border, look at just our recent history in the Middle East, and look at the fascist government committing genocide that we are supporting.

You don’t fight fascism in the ballot box. Every single example in history teaches you that.

I will not be voting for anyone who supports a genocide. That will not change. Now there are two ways to change the outcome.

1. If you are a genocide supporter who wants to be elected, you could stop supporting genocide, and be vocal about it.
2. If you are someone who wants me to vote for your candidate, you could demand that they stop supporting genocide. Or demand that whatever party you like stops nominating people who support genocide.

I will not budge. Will you?
