They have the same policy on Palestinians, at least if it's team red doing it the bluemagas will have to pretend to be mad again. Remember when Biden moved the embassy back to Tel Aviv after Trump moved it to Jerusalem? Me either.

Killing soldiers in a war isn't a genocide, and still there's been less of those killed in 2 years (according to zelensky) than actual civilians in less than 5 months of the US/Israel reign of terror in Gaza

Read more about what Putin is doing in Ukraine and what he has actually said. Kidnapping children to Russia to erase their Ukrainian identities. Putin has outright said Ukraine is not a real country and there is really no such thing as Ukrainians.

Sounds like harm reduction compared to "Israel"

Making up a genocide to get mad about when one is actually happening, with acutal evidence. sounds like NAFO

Allowed to be more than one genocide at a time. BTW Trump supports both Ukrainian and Palastinian genocides.

Please direct me to the ICJ ruling on the matter, rather than to an American nonprofit.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You are just picking a different sour e that hasn't finished their decision. You deny the genocide happening to Ukrainians... plain and simple.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -1 points 9 months ago

Show me the internationally recognized credible evidence of genocide then if you want me to take it as credible before casting my extremely valuable vote

It's like some kind of nominative determinism that the running dogs of us empire would self-select a ~~dog mascot~~ literally portray themselves as dogs??

[–] omnomed@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh no Biden supports genocide! Lets support the other guy who supports more genocide instead

You only have 2 choices: eat the moldy bread and hope that you don't get diarrhea, or eat literal feces and show your rebel spirit! You had the option before to choose Bernie and didn't, so work with what you have instead. Vote for the least worst and complain their ears off after.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I chose Bernie twice but the democrats fought hard to make sure he didn't win.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Exactly! Back in WW2 there were plenty of people who knew America and Britain were racist colonialists. They put on uniforms and got shot at because Hitler was worse. If people like Dashiell Hammett [my personal hero] could give up comfortable lives to fight the Nazis, you can vote.

[–] Ekybio@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I dont see the answer to the question posed.

Care to share if you will vote yes or no for Democracy?

[–] hark@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I always vote for democrats, if that's what you mean, but I don't see how being forced to vote for one party forever because the only other viable party is perpetually worse can be called "democracy". Seems to me like democracy is already dead.

[–] Ekybio@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

The real Democracy is not necessarily done at the ballot. Thats just to allow you to do the real work: You organise, unionise and educate the comming generation.

Voting tactically is just the fuel to keep the engine running, until you reach a better place eventually.

And if I have to vote for the lesser of two evils for the rest of my life, then so be it. If that guarentes the chance of a brighter future and for meaningfull action to be on the table, I gladly do it.

Very simple. But hard to accept.
