Project 2025’s 180-Day Playbook is a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.

    What’s more realistic: Shaming everyone in the country until they vote for someone doing genocide, or telling Biden to stop facilitating a genocide?

      If you don’t vote, you’re saying that you’re completely fine with allowing others to choose for you. Because whether you know it or not- someone will be elected with or without your participation.

      This is not up for debate. This is a HARD fact.

      So fold your arms and pout all you wish, but an election is happening- and as many have said, Palestine is going to face a MUCH worse under Trump.

          Biden did not advocate for genocide. He is absolutely NOT a “genocider,” nor did he advocate for genocide at any time in his political career.

          This is blatant misinformation, and it has been reported as such.

            Biden did not advocate for genocide. He is absolutely NOT a “genocider,” nor did he advocate for genocide at any time in his political career.

            Why are there multiple US aircraft carriers trying to break the blockade of the genocidal ethnostate happening in the red sea? Why is Biden trying to pass the fasicsts border bill so that he can get more ‘bipartisan’ funding for Israel?

            On the subject of the genocidal ethnostates existence, Biden has said multiple times “if Israel did not exist, the US would have to create it to protect our interests in the region”. It’s because of cynical geopolitical calculus that Israel is supported to the end, even if that end is a pile of Palestinian corpses rivalling the brutality of the worlds worst dictators.

            You are obviously a propagandist.

              When we go to YouTube for our arguments: we’re going to the same place that says Obama is a reptilian alien from Nibiru.

              Not watching any propaganda YouTube links. Thanks. Go away now. I don’t argue with anti-democracy trolls that suggest non voting when democracy is at stake.

              Blocking you now.

              So we’ve gone from ‘Trump would not be worse, worse literally isn’t possible’ to ‘Biden isn’t doing enough’. That was fast!

              everyone, liberals conservatives progressives everyone all together, is fine with genocide because it’s Muslims this time

              Said not a single person in this thread, except you.

        You have completely lost the plot. The election isn’t for 7 months.

        Instead of convincing Biden to stop the genocide, which he can do right now, today, you’re spending your time trying to get people to say they’re gonna vote for Biden even if he continues facilitating genocide.

          And that’s a major over simplification. Biden isn’t God he can’t snap his fingers and make Israel do what he wants, certainly not without putting the alliance between the US and Israel at risk … and it’s getting to be a dangerous time in the world when having friends is important.

          Just today they announced the US would be air dropping aid to Gaza. It’s not like nothing is being done. I’d like more to be done, but yeah I’m voting for him either way because the alternative is Trump. I’m not going to pretend I’m not voting for him and the many other things he’s done and his policy objectives that I like because of the actions of another country that he’s supporting… Matching decades of US policy precedent.

            Biden isn’t God he can’t snap his fingers and make Israel do what he wants

            He can stop sending them the tools they’re using to carry out genocide. Ronald Reagan merely threatened to do it once and they came to heel.

            the alliance between the US and Israel

            Israel depends on the US for its existence. They will do what is required for financial, military, and diplomatic aid.

            it’s getting to be a dangerous time in the world when having friends is important.

            How friendly do we look when we’re facilitating a genocide, and bombing Yemen for trying to do something about it?

            Dropping food does not make up for our client state machine gunning people trying to get food.

            If the US really wanted to make friends, they’d oppose the existence of a zionist ethnostate.

              What you’re proposing would be a pretty radical shake up in the US approach to the middle east. The equivalent of telling all our current friends to fuck off and the people we’ve been saying fuck off to, hey do you want to be friends and let us place this critical military infrastructure in your country?

              Some might even call it insane, because who is going to go for that?

              Israel depends on the US but the US also depends on Israel. This isn’t a free lunch they’ve been given and they know it. They’ve also got the equivalent of Trump as their prime minister currently and I really don’t think he cares about any of that anymore than you do.

              His country was attacked and his policy is scorched earth. He’s not going to stop if the US stops sending help. His “iron dome” will fall though and then he’s going to just throw everything he’s got at eliminating Palestine.

              The only thing more dangerous than an angry nation is an angry nation with nothing to lose and a vendetta.

              I don’t like any of this. However, for fuck sake Joe Biden is not out there in a cheerleading outfit yelling “go Israel, murder innocent civilians.” Things are rarely so simple as “just (don’t) do X.” Hell, that’s half the problem with Trump, he’ll just say shit like “well let’s just nuke the hurricane.” We end up with two problems a nuclear bomb and a hurricane.

              If the Israel prime minister was anyone but Netanyahu things might be different.

                It is not. We took the same steps for Apartheid South Africa.

                The only thing more dangerous than an angry nation is an angry nation with nothing to lose and a vendetta.

                You know what’s worse than an angry nation? An angry nation with more weapons.

                Joe Biden is not out there in a cheerleading outfit yelling “go Israel, murder innocent civilians.”

                He is giving them the bombs they are using to carry out a genocide, there is no meaningful difference.
