        There’s no leap here, Biden regime is literally arresting students and faculty protesting a literal genocide that US is currently facilitating.

            People protesting aren’t voting for Biden, the ones who are are denouncing the protests while doing pearl clutching over property damage.

              I’d be surprised if opponents of genocide would vote Republican instead, given how some GOP reps seem to be opposing even the half-measure of delaying arms shipments.

              A two party state where you choose between “fucked up” and “less fucked up, but constantly ceding ground” just does a poor job of accurately representing the opinions of people favouring actual progress, so they’re doing what they can to pull the Overton Window their way.

                This is what perpetuates the insanity in US. When your choices are Hitler and 99% Hitler, then the vote is meaningless. A lot of people will just choose not to participate in this circus.

                  If your choices are Hitler and 99% Hitler, you still do what you can to stop 100% Hitler. Less bad is less bad.

                  Nobody cares about your smug sense of superiority when 100% Hitler is in charge and you proudly announce “I did nothing to stop this, other than try to encourage other people to also do nothing to stop this.”

                  This is pretty rich coming from a guy who unironically defends Stalin and Mao for “doing what needed to be done.”

                  Edit - I mean there you have it. If I explain the meme I’ll get banned but I think any reasonable person can appreciate the whiplash.

              denouncing the protests while doing pearl clutching over property damage.

              Sounds like Republicans to me.
