Allegedly the fix is less tone deaf.

Edit: Lol y’all aren’t even getting past the first image. The second one is more rage inducing IMO.

      he also has approved numerous huge pipelines, some of the largest LNG export terminals, and has sold enormous amounts of public land and oceans

      he has deported far more undocumented people, and at a higher rate than trump. He’s also trying to pass immigration laws worse than Trump’s, and kids no longer have any protections in ICE camps. Immigrants are often shipped to detention camps in Guatemala to make it difficult to seek asylum, against international law.

        It really is. And I’ve seen this used as a justification for ignoring the genocide. Social fascists operating without the domestic social safety net are truly pathetic.

        The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that the right to strike is not absolute this spring and in April ruled that federal agencies can be sued at any time without needing to wait for them to reach a final decision on a policy. They’re totally going to rule the NLRB unconstitutional soon.

    single issue voting

    okay so liberals are now doing the thing that conservatives loved to do 6 years ago (and still do) where they claim that their views and opinions are being “silenced” but playing extremely coy like everyone doesn’t know what “views and opinions” are being silenced. If there ever was a single issue to be a “single issue voter” for, it’s genocide; and liberals who traffic in this bullshit are either aware of how disingenuous that is or are genuinely too stupid to see what they’re doing. Either is unbelievably contemptible

      My favorite tactic is where they care more about what’s going on domestically than globally. As if. These are the same fuckers salivating over billions to Ukraine to save le democracy. Not to mention how students’ tuition is spent is literally a domestic issue. So much of the money being spent on Ukraine and Israel could’ve been spent domestically but nope. We just don’t have money for anything. These people deserve their teeth kicked in for insulting my intelligence

        it’s the easiest, oldest trick in the book. conservatives pull it all the time too

        1. we can’t worry about [foreign issue] when have [domestic issue] to worry about too!

        2. ignore [domestic issue] or just let it get worse because it’s a useful rhetorical deflection for step 1 as well as the fact that you genuinely don’t care

      The state engaging in performing and/or support and aiding a genocide is not a “single issue” lmao. I love how they say that. “Single issue”. To get to the point where you are assisting a foreign ally committing a genocide on people who never wronged you is hundreds of issues building up over the course of decades.

      It’s not an “oopsie doopsie I wrote a check to Israel and then they used that money to kill Palestinians all of a sudden”. It’s a, “all of the thousands of things that we have done for 70 years in pursuit of our interests in merely one particular region of our empire has made this genocide inevitable”. How the fuck liberals look at this scenario and see only one issue here is so astronomically fucking unbelievable that it cannot possibly be true. They know full goddamn well it’s not a single issue but they have to word it that way so they don’t sound ridiculous scoffing at someone being concerned with the military industrial complex.

        Of the never ending list of reasons why liberals are so goddamn insufferable, their complete cluelessness juxtaposed against their very serious, intellectual demeanor is beyond aggravating. They assume the way things are is the right way for the world to be, and if they don’t know the reason for something, they’re positive the real reason is one that reaffirms what they already believe. All what they don’t know is just stuff they haven’t gotten around to learning yet, but they’re positive they already know it better than those peaky tankoids

    Liberals have determined that pro-Palestine young people have the power to sway the entire universe towards fascism or democracy. The most logical tactic would be to appeal to them, or at the very least compromise with them, or at the very least pretend to care about their problems. But they decide to do nothing, wish for more violence on protestors, then get upset when the young people don’t want anything to do with liberals.

    These are the same people who tell you to take economics 101 but they fail at basic diplomacy and negotiation lol

    And the kicker is that statistically, Palestine isn’t in the top issue for a lot of young people, but liberals think it is and quadruple down on the Zionism instead of addressing any other issue in the myriad of issues available. The government for past 4 years has shown it cares about nothing except the stock market, Ukraine, and Israel.

      None of those things liberal voters can meaningfully do though. Its on their representatives and Biden to do those things and they’ve been crystal clear that they never will. All these liberal voters are doing is going through different stages of grief while trapped between loyalty to their party and leftists harassing them for supporting genocide.

    Single issue voters according to dems: “I don’t care that you’re doing so well on all these things, this single issue is all that matters to me”
    Single issue voters IRL: “You’re shit on absolutely every single thing, but I’m still willing to vote for you as long as you don’t commit a genocide”

    Why don’t centrist libs stand up and protest any of these issues. They have 1 March every four years and vote once every two. The kids protesting probably phone banked more hours in 2020 than all the fuckers complaining combined.

    Our single issue is genocide, their single issue is Trump. All the signs they hold are ultimately hollow talking points that they only invoke to scare people about Trump to leverage them to vote Biden – outside of that usage, the democrats talk about wanting a strong republican party, do fuck-all federally to protect the rights of marginalized people, do fuck-all to protect abortion rights, do fuck-all about the climate …

    Looked at one of those threads and someone made a good point: single issue anti-abortion voters got abortion rights overturned.

    Single issue voting works. It’s almost Maoist!

    There is always only one principal contradiction; however, the contradictions can trade places of importance. When looking at numerous contradictions, one must understand which contradiction is superior. One must also remember the principal and non-principal contradictions are not static and will, over time, transform into one another. This also causes a transformation of the nature of the thing, for the principal contradiction is what primarily defines the thing. These two different contradictions prove that nothing is created equally by showing the lack of balance that allows one contradiction to be superior to another.

    Meanwhile, in the comic, Lady Lib is trying to tackle a dozen issues at the same time and is being overwhelmed by the different non-principal contradictions, unable to even hold on to all her signs. They’re literally refuting themselves!

    They act like it’s only possible to care about one thing at a time. Yeah, the genocide is the most pertinent issue right now, but we’ve been talking about literally all of those other things for decades. Which, surprise, Democrats have made no effort to fix, and have actually made most of them worse.

    This is the inevitable result of supporting Biden. You can say “yes he’s doing genocide but trump will somehow do more genocide” but that’s effectively campaigning against your candidate by associating him with genocide.

    So the next step is to not talk about Palestine at all. Sweep it under the rug. But now you gotta explain why young people are so pissed at you so you make up some bullshit.
