        Even by US standards if we go back a few decades. HW negotiated a ceasefire in Israel, and sectors both sides spent time and money trying to dismantle the nuclear arsenal. Biden is “modernizing” it. He’s genuinely to the right of the Republican Party just a couple decades ago in many ways.

      He is. But Trump and the other Republicans are fascists and even further right wing.

              Really, he is personally wiping out a race of people? Not bad for a guy y’all claim is senile.

              Listen, Biden sucks, but the alternative is SO MUCH worse.

                Do you think Adolf Hitler personally gassed 6 million Jews? You do realize that committing genocide is about policy not killing everyone with your own hands right?

                Biden calling himself a Zionist, providing israel with all the bombs to kill Palestinians with, cover them with three aircraft carriers against retaliation, intercepting missles towards israel and defending their ships against attacks in the Red Sea so they can continue their genocide means Genocide Joe is more responsible for enabling this genocide than even Netanyahu

                    Oh no he said some words while performing the same actions as Hitler! Good thing his words were different, I’m sure those Palestinian children with their legs blown off suffocating beneath the rubble really care about that!

                  And …. Godwin’s Law for the win.

                  You kept dancing around the point, but you finally committed and were able to bring up Hitler in what seems to be 4 moves during a conversation about oil.

                  Well done.

                    Geez I wonder how Adolf Hitler is relevant to a situation where people see themselves as superior to other people and want to kill them all and take over their land.

                    There is no comparison no be made here guys move on! Godwins law everyone!

          It’s fascism to follow the constitution?

          And as far as I know, only one Republican has an issue with the 14th amendment. No one is stopping Haley, Christie, DeSantis, or even Ramaswamy from qualifying.

              Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

      For years I’ve been saying it but his pussy supporters are terrified of the truth and would rather sweep his voting record under the rug than face it.

      Wouldn’t change anything to admit Biden isn’t the progressive we wish he was other than the party might have to act.

        I voted for him and will again.

        It’s abundantly clear that he has a history of conservative perspectives but also that he has moved just a touch to the left since Obama’s presidency. He’s still a milquetoast centrist, but has at least a couple progressive proclivities.

          I don’t even know the candidate dems could put forward other than Biden but my annoyance had nothing to do with whether or not I’d vote for him. It’s the supporters who keep on pretending ol Biden just got a bad shake and really he is the best thing for this country.

        Seems like Trump isn’t the only person with a selectively blind cult judging by the down votes and angry replies. Any opinion that we should be able to do better than Biden around Lemmy gets flamed way too hard to be reasonable.
