biden: literally lets satanyahu do whatever he wants and gives him bombs faster than he can blow children up with them
libs: “think about how bad it’ll be if trump wins tho”
it literally can not be worse. that’s why it’s such a laughable claim. it CAN NOT be worse. it would literally just be the same.
What they usually say to this is “But Trump will give them 200 pound bombs, and Biden limits them to 100 pound bombs” or something like that
they’ll put them in camps! Gop won’t even do a peace deal
so no change?
it’ll be worse for the USA

God, dems are real lucky the CIA would quash any vanguard party.
All it would take are some somewhat serious leftists to win a governorship in Rhode Island or some shit and dems would either be irrelevant within a decade, or rebrand as a party by and for moderates and drop their progressive lip service altogether.
it CAN NOT be worse. it would literally just be the same.
So, if Candidate Y wins, we’re going to kick you in the nuts and give you a puppy. If candidate Z wins, we’re going to kick you in the nuts and stab a puppy in front of you.
I don’t know about you, but I’m going to buy a cup and vote for Y.

Terrible metaphor, try this.
Candidate 1 offers genocide. Candidate 2 also offers genocide. If you vote for either you are giving support to genocide.
except neither candidate is offering to give me a puppy. be gone liberal.
I’m going to vote for neither and pull out a weapon
The answer to the trolley problem is destroying the trolley, not hitting the lever
I’m gonna buy a gun and not vote for either genocidal candidate
Candidate Z
One day, he will return, unbanned
Is the puppy they’re giving you a more effective extermination of all Palestinian life? Yet more tanks for the cops and more Ukranians for the meat grinder and more microplastics for my balls? What the fuck do you think the puppy is here, genocide lover?
Wow 116 comments! There must be some thought provoking content happening under this post!
No, it’s just one guy that won’t log the fuck off
Not content to merely be known as an idiot to a few people, we sometimes get fools who must show their ignorance to many
And it all stemmed from a comment they made asking how Kamala Harris was complicit in genocide, you know, the vice president in an admin literally aiding an ongoing genocide
“Oh but what about Trump” what about him? He’s gonna do the same as Kamala, that’s a point AGAINST her, not FOR her.
Literally a parody
Hilarious too because they admit they voted for Trump in 2016.
So I guess we need to listen to the guy who voted for a “dangerous fascist” about how dangerous he is? It’s like when Germans try to Germansplain genocide because they are experts at it

Just finding the paradox amusing that communists are attacking democrats
How is this a paradox
How is that a paradox? Why would a communist support a rightwing fascist capitalist party of the rich like the Democrats? We support the working people
Also the lethargic pace of banhammer or just the lolz amusement ideology of interacting with the troll before the ban comes.
Fair enough since making an argument of why one opposes something helps form our identities and understanding of it, but it is kind of trite.
Sometimes its fun. But this one is just dumb and troll.

Trump is also a lib, you just don’t know what words mean lib
So what you’re telling the class is that MAGA is a liberal group?
The liberal doesn’t understand what ideologies are!
So you’re saying I was a liberal my whole life but just didn’t know it until I fortuitously came across this meme thread and all these helpful people pointed it out? Checks out 🤟
Yes.
You live in the biggest liberal country, it’s politics are liberal. It’s ruling parties are flavors of liberalism, you just aren’t aware of the terminology I guess. It doesn’t help that the conservative wing of the liberals here label their opponents liberal, it’s an easy misunderstanding to have.
Yes you have always been a Liberal because you exist in a hegemonic Liberal society, ie the only option presented ever are various flavors of Liberal. You are like a fish who doesn’t understand what water is because you’ve never tried to jump above its surface
I’ve lived in several different counties lol
Just take 10 minutes (maybe make it an hour depending on your reading pace) and have a look at the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article
Like unless you’re a monarchist or some other weird regressive form of conservative, you are a liberal.
Yes.
Liberalism is a word that means different things to different people, especially from country to country.
Having its origins in the assertion of bourgeois right against conservative forces, liberalism of all its different varieties is generally an ideology of the urban bourgeoisie. Very broadly, liberalism asserts individual autonomy against the intrusion of the community into that. The main source of ambiguity in liberalism is the divergence between “economic liberalism” and “civic liberalism”.
“Economic liberalism”, sometimes called Neo-liberalism or “big-L Liberalism” advocates a laissez faire economic regime, i.e., the right of property-owners to exercise the power of money unhindered by regulations, redistributive taxes and so on. Economic liberalism therefore easily makes common cause with the traditional sources of conservative politics – the landed aristocracy and Christian fundamentalists. Neo-liberalism (“Economic rationalism” in Australia) favours reliance on market forces to resolve social problems, rather than methods of state regulation.
“Civic liberalism” on the other hand, emphasises the importance of individual autonomy against determination by traditional norms, racial prejudice, entrenched power relations and economic disadvantage. Under the banner of “equality of opportunity”, civic liberalism can come close to forms of communitarianism in emphasising the responsibility of the community to secure the basic conditions of life of members of the community, or, under the banner of “freedom of the individual” on the other hand, to libertarianism, in emphasising the rights of individuals to make “life-style” choices free from interference by the community, provided they do no harm to others.
In the U.S., “liberal” has the specific connotation of seeking to promote the social good without challenging the right of the ruling class to rule. Thus, the American ‘liberal’ who wants higher wages and a better health service is quite distinct from the labour activist who aims for much the same things but whose conception is that this entails a fight against the ruling elite.
From Marxists.org
Yes. Liberalism is a word that means different things to different people, especially from country to country.
Yeah that’s about as far as I got in your novel and realized it wasn’t worth continuing
Too bad. I think in its common usage, it’s clear that it varies. We use the Marxist definition which is standard and class based as opposed to relativistic.
Do you have a definition of liberalism that you find useful?
Okay I didn’t realize you were trying to be helpful. I’ll read your previous comment and reflect
Yeah that’s about as far as I got in your novel
You just announced that you’re willfully ignorant and that’s your defense for being wrong?

Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden
All of these administrations have more policies in common than in difference. We choose between differently wallpapered liberals.
lol okay buddy. Whatever you say.
It’s not as though democrats were leaping at the chance to roll back the PATRIOT act or close Gitmo. When Trump was president, they moan about how “insane and backward” his tariffs were, only to double down once in office. It’s like how congress members behave one way when the cameras are in the room, and another when they’re off; the difference is slight and exaggerated for our viewing pleasure.
Congratulations you just described every government in existence
No, just the capitalist ones. :)
So every industrial nation. I forgot how well behaved those third world countries usually are.

“I’m not a liberal I voted for a liberal”
Convincing argument, now face the wall
Ah so everyone who isn’t on hexbear is a liberal I guess.
Nah there are plenty of communists and fascists on other Lemmy instances as well. We call people liberals when they do liberal things like voting for a capitalist who implemented neoliberal policies
You’re never going to find a perfect candidate. Trump wants to be an isolationist, sort of how the US was prior to WW2 but he’s also an assclown.
Harris at least can speak in complete sentences so the bar is pretty low around here.
If there’s a third party that isn’t just some joke then I’m all for it but the system is what it is and currently Harris is the best option for me out of the two.
That said, you’re not gonna find anyone in any kind of official capacity in the USA who is going to side with anyone cozied up with Irans government.
You’re never going to find a perfect candidate.
we aren’t looking for a candidate. We aren’t voting because we have a principled stance against this government and both of its parties. Not because we’re demanding some sort of “perfect candidate.”So I said “a capitalist who implemented neoliberal policies” and you thought I was criticizing Harris? I was talking about how Trump is a liberal. Maybe ask why you would mistake one for the other.
you are never going to find a perfect candidate
We don’t need perfect, just good (ie communist) although right now I’d settle for a non-warmonger anti-imperialist Liberal who didn’t support genocide, but none such options are available because we live in a genocidal war nation.
It has a definition I’m not sure why that’s such a difficult concept.
Unless you think Trump is like, a fascist (which I would entertain but you said you voted for him so I sincerely hope you don’t think that) he’s still within the bounds of liberalism. Free markets, liberty as individuals, private property, etc.
I would contend that Fascism is a subtype of Liberal. You go down far enough the neoliberal path and you are suddenly fascist, there’s 0 hard dividing line
I think that’s fair, I think there are enough distinctions (its strong nationalism and backward- looking revanchism aren’t innate to liberalism, I think there are real points of conflict where libs would usually depart from fascism, absent a threat from their left) that I would accept someone categorizing it as a form of liberalism or as a separate ideology if they support their view. I think for libs though it’s best to try and be charitable if it’s a distinction they recognize.
The original fascists invented austerity and deregulation and privatization. The Nazis and Italian fascists were the pioneers of these policies, unwinding the regulations and social policies of the social Liberals that came before them.
They are functionally indistinguishable from the “economic Liberalism” described elsewhere in this thread and “Libertarianism”. It’s all the same thing in different degrees.
American Liberals are extremely nationalistic, chauvinist, revanchist, warmongering and imperialistic. Your point of difference doesn’t even apply
Voted for Biden in 2020. Trump was a loser and I voted for a loser.

I am most definitely NOT a liberal. In fact I even voted for Trump in 2016

Is Kamala Harris not the second highest ranked official in an administration actively arming genocide and providing intelligence, aid, and money to keep that genocide going? It’s like arguing that high ranking Nazi officials weren’t responsible for the Holocaust because they weren’t “in charge.” She’s actively serving in an administration carrying out genocide. She could always just resign. She hasn’t. She is participating in genocide, no question.

Have they said they won’t do a genocide? Or have they fervently argued the opposite that they will 100% support Israel in all ways and never do an arms embargo even to help enforce a ceasefire?
