'voices should be heard, just not by me'
Dude when they are actually being silenced though ??? Fuck dude can we appreciate having a president that at least fucking pretends to respect different opinions?
Don't stop being critical and always push for better. But damn please do not forget the drastic difference between this peaceful rhetoric vs having your president declare citizens unpatriotic or an enemy, liars, or whatever for disagreeing with him.
When zionists and cops beat the shit out of them and throw them off campus, mostly.
Oh Biden is responsible for that? Not the school leadership who called the thirsty-for-violence pigs?
He doesn't even pretend to respect different opinions, the public was wanting some form of universal health Care. He said he would veto it, citizens were saying defund the police. His answer was increased funding by over a hundred times, A very large majority of his own party was calling for a ceasefire. His solution is increased funding and increased weapons. When we try to push for better liberals try to silence us. It's leftists that are having to do the jobs that liberals wont do for their own party. If liberals spent half as much time holding their politicians accountable as they do punching left we wouldn't have someone like Trump on his ballot and we wouldn't have someone like Biden on the ballot. Biden and his party passing resolutions equating anti-zionism to anti-Semitism is calling anti-zionist protesters undemocratic, unpatriotic. And then he tries to lie and gaslight the public by saying that he has seen pictures of be-headed babies when the White House had a back track and say there were no pictures of beheaded babies, but he has had a long long history of habitually lying. Exactly like he did in his speech at Morehouse.
Biden's supporters on lemmy are doing their best to compensate for this particular oversight on his part.
