minus-squareEnsign_Crab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·5 hours ago I have addressed these points in this comment section multiple times. Yes, with “leverage power we don’t have against people who would rather lose than stop throwing people under the bus.”
minus-squareToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·5 hours agoWe do have this power. We elected Joe Biden in 2020. Your argument pretends we don’t at the expense of minorities and our ability to prevent the worst outcomes of climate change.

And oh shucky dern, his hands were always conveniently tied. Except when it came time to sell weapons for genocide. Your argument pretends we don’t at the expense of minorities and our ability to prevent the worst outcomes of climate change. Democrats consider minorities expendable in their unending quest for Republican votes.

Except when it came time to sell weapons for genocide. You don’t actually care about minorities. Even more people would dead by now under four years of Trump. That’s immaterial to you. Democrats consider minorities expendable in their unending quest for Republican votes. So do you. Except you want moral victory over the Democrats.
