    Forgive me but I about to apply this political cartoon to the situation with Palestine and Joe Biden.

    Forgoing the political defeat of Trump to send a message is extreme.

    The same message that has fallen on deaf ears for the past 80+ yesrs.

      Refusing to listen to voters you depend on in order to get elected is extreme. And before you say “Biden would lose the election if he cut off weapons to Israel!!” then those people who would refuse to vote for him are the ones who you should be shaming. Not only are they willing to forgo the political defeat of Trump to send a message they’re doing it because they want to keep supporting genocide.

      At some point some amount of blame needs to be leveled at the so called “moderate voters” of the party. They are the majority after all.

        This cartoon isn’t about Bidens extremism.

        I hate relitigating 2020 but Biden on paper was trash. His voting record and legislative record has some REAL big stinkers. He’s a zionist which we all knew we would eventually pay for. He is also old as dirt. It’s insane that his opponent is worse than this shit.

        I will and have put the blame on center right democrats, as if I even knew one personally. Like who are these people? My guess is they are the trust fundies that got shamed by their inner circle once; with some sort of art scene at the core. So now they vote in a way that they can justify to daddy but undermines everything.

        Sorry, got me off on a tangent. Not that I care, I purposefully started a controversial thread.

        But look. This is where we are at. If for the rest of my days the only thing I can do to prevent oblivion is put my foot out with an authoritarian walks by I am going to do it. Eventually, they will win. With this strategy. I guess my hope is to buy enough time for an mlk to show up. Ghandi where you at?

        If this plan sucks, it will fail, and we will get to see what happens. That is the inevitability.
