Who the hell is defending genocide?
Threatening the international criminal court because they are investigating a genocide is defending genocide
That’s because of the good old boys club making sure the ICC doesn’t start grabbing “western” leaders. Not because of genocide. Make no mistake that they place themselves above any one country’s actions.
Oh? So its dependent geographical location when it’s ok to hold leaders accountable to the genocide and war crimes they cause. Got ya. Putin being a war criminal, Cheers for the ICC. But now a US ‘ally’ is getting called out for credible accounts of warcrimes and provable mens rea for genocide? Well time to threaten the ICC with crushing sanctions from the fore most super power.
Maybe they are not interested in all western leaders, just the ones who war crime? Or defend war crime?
No, it’s dependent on being a powerful and wealthy nation that uses their flex to ensure they can continue to get away with what why want. If your part of that club you began invade all kids of countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, and whoever else and nobody can actually do anything about it. However, if you’re the leader of some tiny country on the losing end of doing dirty deeds, you get a bomb in your lap or hauled off to some prison, like Noriega.
This isn’t rocket science, “western” refers to a geopolitical standing, and even if Russia doesn’t fit the “western” bill, they nonetheless fall under the “too powerful to fuck with” category.
Joe Biden
He refuses to call it a genocide. He condemns some of the Israeli actions, as inadequate as that is.
Gaslight much?
That’s a meaningless comment.
What “democrats”? Even Biden is softballing the issue even if he isn’t outright condemning it (as he should, the bastard should call it genocide). I’ve never seen any Dems here or on Reddit saying it isn’t a genocide. If you’re referring to the few at the top that refuse to call a spade a spade, yeah…that’s plural “democrats”, but overall nobody is defending “genocide”, but some fools are mealy-mouthing the ridiculous overreaction by Israel.

^^^ meaningless comment
Strawman vs gaslighting, who will win?
You have to vote for Biden or else!
vote for biden vote for biden vote for biden
Yea, we just need to vote for biden
Don't vote for Biden. Vote for democracy. Vote for liberty. Vote for progress. Biden is an extremely fallible, flawed, individual. His name is on the ticket but there is something more. Most important and this is where everyone drops off. Keep voting.
At the very least vote so you don't have to slog through an orange homunculus disrupting your daily struggles with more fear, terror, and human suffering.
Edit:
I got down voted for "Vote for progress"
Tell me how rational you are.
Vote for a kick to the nuts over a kick in the ass!
So inspiring. Fuck Biden for making that his offer, honestly. If that's still the choice come november RIP democracy I guess, I don't know many people who feel enthusiastic enough about genocide to miss work to vote for it.
Jokes on them, not voting is voting for more Genocide. I'm certain their enthusiasm for life will hit all time lows when they have Trump in the headlines every single day while more rights are stripped away.
The people you know. Suck.
Edit:
And I'm not some sort of all seeing oracle. I believe what I see with my eyes. Though it would be nice to gouge them out
The democrats are just so good at campaigning that they don't even need to offer any good policies. Respect.
We're 5 months out and the biden campaign site doesn't even have any policies listed on it. It's like he's not even trying.
That's where you're wrong. They do have good policies your just blind with rage. Boiling over. I can't blame you. My pots evaporated.
Then do me a kindness and stop directing your rage at people angry at the same thing, and do something useful with it.
For myself, i'm not just angry at the democrats, i'm angry at all these impotent liberals who are happy to get in line 5 months early to get served up some genocide.
How is, not voting useful? You've given up. Nothing more useless than that and the main reason progressives will never be empowered to make necessary change.
Lay flat. It's what you're asking for anyway.
LMAO, pugjesus was literally just telling me to let the genocide wash over me
idk sounds kinda hot to relinquish control, maybe I will try some bdsm
Relinquish control. Relinquish your autonomy. Relinquish your own humanity.
You must be getting hard right now.
I'll admit i'm a bit aroused.
Then I've accomplished what I came do. I'll leave so you can autofellatiate in peace.
And you said I was useless.
Biden apparently.
The strawman.
