Noooo, you don't understand. Biden tried really, really hard to not send 21 billion to Israel. Trump wanted to send aid! Big difference, tankie.

Genocide began well before independence from Britain.

yeah, but the americans loved it so much, they declared independence so they could do it faster

It's worth noting that during the Korean War the US killed 15-20% of North Koreans. That's a higher percentage killed than many genocides and much of it was exacted through deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure yet it's almost never discussed as a genocide. We hanged Nazis for lesser crimes at Nuremberg

Things are much better in Germany. We have four genocide parties and one party with internal conflicts regarding genocide

Making fun of Trump and Biden for being genocidal pieces of shit is cool, but making fun of Biden's stutter is ableist and that's not ok.

You should edit this meme to remove that portion.

Idk I saw it more as a criticism of people who use his stutter and other unrelated vulnerabilities and frailties as a defense against valid criticisms of his policies, seen a decent amount of that shit, but I may be interpreting it charitably out of an overabundance of eagerness to bash dems

Would you defend Hitler's addiction issues as well? Time and place, dude.

[–] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There's plenty of legit critiques and things to make fun of both of these people without using ableism. This is like the memes calling Trump and Putin gay, you aren't hurting your target, you are just further marginalizing normal people who struggle with these issues.

Would it be acceptable to go after Obama by comparing him to a monkey? No. That's just racist shit and it has no place here.

Do better.

I guess you're right.

I had forgotten that the Democrats are also zionists.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Democrats like money as much as Republicans.

And they couldn't even deliver on protecting LGBT people because they lost the election carrying water for a genocide and selling out the American working class. You can't even make the argument that Democrats will protect queer people anymore because they have repeatedly proven they will fumble the ball running on unpopular policies and then sell us out when it's better for their donors.

Democrats are basically a speed bump at this point. At least Republicans are trying to destroy America; unintentionally yes but I'd almost rather crash into the wall full speed rather than be stuck in whatever chokehold the Democrats are trying to prolong
