Telling the DNC that you and most people will vote for him unconditionally is sabotaging his chances; the dems need to understand they cannot win if they continue the path they’re on, and telling them otherwise is counterproductive.
Silencing criticism of millions isn’t gonna win an election. Doing the things the people whose votes you need are telling you to do will.
Well, the problem is, the way the US sees it, keeping Israel as an ally is more important than Joe Biden. Yes, even if that means fascism comes humping an American flag. You can still be at the top of the postwar order with a fascist in charge!
If public sentiment is “everyone’s gonna vote for Biden no matter what”, they’re not gonna change the course, and then be shocked when they get blown out worse than they did in 2016.
If the public sentiment is that we’re gonna vote for Biden no matter what, then when the election comes we’ll vote for Biden …no matter what.
What you’re describing is if the DNC hear “blue no matter who”, but what they hear isn’t reflective of reality. Meanwhile, what we want is for everyone to vote blue no matter who, but give the DNC a good scare into getting their act together.
So what we absolutely need to do is be critical of Biden when the DNC are watching, but stress the dangers of a Trump presidency when they’re not paying attention.
And the DNC are not on Lemmy. So Lemmy is where we should say blue no matter who. We can go criticise Biden on Facebook or whatever boomers use these days. But there’s no point in it on Lemmy, except when we’re saying to vote for him in the election and kill him in the revolution.
The problem is that people are dumb, and plenty are legitimately not planning on voting for Biden now.
If and when Biden deals with Gaza, everyone with this mindset immediately needs to turn around and start sucking off Biden with previously unseen vigor and determination, otherwise this is only going to damage his chance of being elected. Hell, even then I still see some damage being done.
It just seems irresponsible to spread this message, especially when people like OP seem to genuinely believe it. Pick a less blatantly fascist opponent than Trump to do this with ffs

There’s tens of thousands of mostly children dead, and Israel is using famine and disease to wipe out the rest, no shit it damages Biden’s chances if his actions come this late. Especially if Biden’s answer to Gaza is ship Israel weapons more quietly while claiming to hold up shipments, while Israel starves Gaza out.
Then again, if Biden stops the money and arms to Israel, and sanctions Israel, and Trump responds by promising money and arms to Israel so they can resume the genocide, I don’t see how anyone could not vote Biden.
What more can be done? We are already sending 100% of the weapons, money, and diplomatic support Israel needs. We’re already bombing Yemen for taking actions to stop Israel and shooting down Iranian drones trying to stop them. Is Trump going to do the same thing, but be proud of it?
Shit I can’t even say that, Biden is extremely proud of his support for Israel. Trump is simply going to be more obnoxious about it.
Lesser evilism isn’t gonna win an election when your lesser evil is already genocide.

Yeah, but they’re listening to public sentiment.

Totally agree, he’s already damaging his own reputation, which is why the “do not vote for Biden” game can even be played.
I’m just far more terrified of what Trump will do to Gaza, and Biden is just the lesser of two evils

The US has nukes, and much bigger traditional ballistics than what’s currently being sent.
If Biden really really wanted to, Gaza wouldn’t exist anymore
Israel has nukes. They’re not using them, or chemical weapons because it would be sanctioned to an extent that even the US couldn’t help them.
Israel actions are not limited by the size of the bombs they’re being given.
You surely realize they can’t use nukes there, right?
That’s why I mentioned the other traditional methods
you also mentioned nukes. Why?
