What harm reduction? Biden has been in power and he's fuelled the fire by supplying more weapons and voting against a cease fire.
Biden is doing exactly what trump would have done. There is no lesser evil, just an evil man and a hypocrite.
I'm not advocating for trump, I'm just pointing out that it's time Americans got rid of both those clowns and their cronies.
They don't serve the avarage person anywhere in the world, they will do whatever benefits them and the billionaires that line their pocket.
The longer we keep on debating on who is better better the stereotypical villain and the hypocritical villain the longer we miss the fact that they are both really bad.
Rule 6, no lesser evil rhetoric. This includes encouraging people to vote for any capitalist political party and any capitalist politician. There is no harm reduction in supporting either of two parties headed by genocidal fascists. The extent to which any elected official of a Capitalist Party in a Capitalist state can enact evil is the extent to which that official is allowed to do so by Capital. As such, neither candidate is the lesser or greater evil. See more on our position here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/1bt0nag/rule_6_no_lesser_evil_rhetoric_is_it/
Rather than lazily accusing anyone and everyone who holds a different viewpoint of being a bot or pro-Trump, actually engage with the point being made.
Your "lesser evil" is a former segregationist who is supporting a genocidal fascist state that engages in foreign interference and who has followed right wing immigration policies.
At one point or another, you have to deal with the reality that the "lesser evil" argument becomes less convincing when attempting to get people to move past literal genocide.
Instead of insulting them would you care to make an actual argument?
He's right, the only difference is that Biden isn't talking shit on twitter the whole time.

Damn, the mod team is going hard in the paint on this one. Bravo, these genocider-apologists and their
“harm reduction bullshit” needed a wake up call.
> That's an answer that completely ignores the question.
No it's not. "Both options have made it abundantly clear they're going to gleefully continue to help Israel commit genocide" is a perfectly valid answer to your silly "Which genocide-supporter is better for the people suffering a genocide?" question. If I ask you whether you'd rather eat arsenic or cyanide "I'm not going to eat poison" is a perfectly valid answer.

What decision are you talking about to stand by who? You just make shit up while doing PR for capitalists. With comrades like you, who needs capitalism
You’re more upset at my Reddit comments than you are by the politicians you vote for funding, arming, and giving cover for genocide. While claiming to stand against racism. Absurd.
You don’t think moral superiority exists in politics? Your politics are worthless.
Genuinely this is the only thing stopping me from voting for biden, I don't like him but I understand the need to defeat trump, but my voter record isn't going to say genocide.
Don't US Presidential candidates have to dedicate a whole day to an event in which they explain to Israelites how their potential mandate will help Israel and in which ways? That would have to stop first and foremost. It's like all candidates are predetermined to be friendly to that nation.
I've never heard of such a thing happening and I've lived in the US all my life. Not saying there isn't isreali influence in American government but I don't know about that specifically, it sounds made up.
Well I'm not going to comment on something I don't know about until I get specifics, yeah AIPAC is an extremely powerful lobbying organization, but I don't know what your talking about with US politicians being required to visit them.

Because using real images of dead babies for Reddit memes is stupid and insensitive. An obligatory “fuck Biden and fuck Trump” for those who think this is a plant.
When an artist chooses to draw dead Palestinian children for a political purpose, that’s the artists intent.
AI “art” has no intent. It’s just dog shit slop that steals from others.
War photographers and journalists use real photos of dead children all the time, and when used appropriately and respectfully in the correct context they make for a powerful statement against US hegemony abroad while also serving as a sympathetic testament and remembrance of the innocent lives that have been lost.
Attempting to do that by “drawing” fake dead Palestinian children with AI is disgusting, shameful, disrespectful towards the people who have died, and does nothing but enrich oneself.
But you do you, clearly you think it’s cute or whatever.
If you think parading and exploiting images of real dead Palestinians for a Reddit meme is more tasteful, then I don’t know what to tell you. But you do you.
Next time you want to make a message impactful, consider putting some effort into it instead of this AI garbage. I promise you that art with intent will be profoundly more effective at communicating its message
Does anyone believe we’ll see a candidate worth even half a shit in our lifetime? Personally I think the rot is too deep, the game too rigged, to get anyone in that gives any shits at all about the people that pay for this shit show.
Honestly, Fuck both candidates. GD I hate this place. Why , oh why can't we have good leaders. Y'all know what I mean...someone worth following. Integrity, honest, and willing to admit failures. Love wins, i wish we were loved, as people, by the people in power. We are all human, we are all the same. Apes too smart for our own good. Guess I am just a dreamer. Maybe in the next life....
When doing things lawfully has repeatedly failed, when legal avenues are invalidated by the obscenely wealthy, and when the law makers are okay with this; what else are we supposed to do?
If/when it comes to that, always remember that *they* chose that path by blocking all others.
Liberals: noo, you savage! We need to preserve the holy institutions of our country provided by Go-
I-i mean, look, punching bad guys makes you just as bad, have you never seen [Children's Media]?
Liberals, in this case, would be the people who want to preserve capitalism and the status-quo when faced with the prospect of a proggresive revolution, they prefer "order to justice".
The ones that fit that description the most are media pundits and politicians, the average working Joe might not really care that much, not all of them necessarily buy into liberal attitudes theoretically (even if many do), but they listen to the media, and that's the only voice heard.

Seen more and more of anti-biden stuff lately. I guess I hope that when I scroll the subreddit a bit more I'll find as much anti-trump stuff. Not holding my breath, but I guess this works on somebody even if it reeks of russian propaganda.
Rather than lazily accusing anyone and everyone who holds a different viewpoint of being a bot, actually engage with the point being made. There are plenty of spaces where you can dismiss people for being a bot and not engage with their point. This is not one of them.
Vote uncommitted. Biden didn’t support railroad workers in 2022. He’s funding and actively supporting a genocide now. I refuse to cast a vote just so “the other party doesn’t win.” Many states including where I live in NJ are adding an uncommitted option to the ballot. We could just not vote. But choosing uncommitted is a stronger form of protest.

Vote for my guy," is the worst form of voter outreach I've ever seen. Credit to the libs for honesty, but that's about it...
Mr Mod Man...who said anything about bots? That was a weird tangent. Also, who is playing victim? That wasn't even my comment that got taken down, I'm defending someone else so we can all know the context of my own comment. Don't be weird.
The subreddit has rules. You should read them. We are within our rights as mods to remove comments that violate said rules.

Why don't you talk to Biden's campaign, then? Here's what a donor said about Biden's campaign manager (via [WaPo](https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/2024/04/01/biden-campaign-manager-julie-chavez-rodriguez/)):
> “We all know this is a jump ball. ... In 2016, we were reading Nate Silver, and we weren’t worried at all. When we woke up, we realized we’ve never been to Wisconsin and we’ve never been to Michigan and then all the Monday-morning quarterbacks are out. That won’t be the case for Julie [Chavez Rodriguez]. Because we all are prepared to lose.”
*We are all prepared to lose.* There's your bulwark against fascism, buddy. And you're gonna blame ME if Trump wins? Get your fucking priorities straight.
Trump will continue Bidens policies, as Biden continued Trumps policies, because both represent the same class interests, which are diametrically opposed to our class interests.

Nope, but I'd rather slit my throat then vote for someone I know will contribute to the genocide.
Im not voting, I refuse to participate in the fucked up sideshow that is US politics.
"If you don't like Biden OBVIOUSLY that means you all support Trump 100 percent" liberals have the same political literacy as trumpers. We can believe BOTH are very bad for different reasons without supporting one over the other
You thing Genocide Joe is sympathetic at all towards Gaza 💀?
Biden hasbara is close to being as ridiculous as the Israeli one 🤡
Genocide is worse than Muslim ban btw
Shame on every lib who thinks this is better than voting 3rd party 😤. It's disgusting that both libs and Cons are more than fine with little children's skulls blown open and pretend as if they have any right to look down on moral ppl 🤬
A whole lot of these sorts of subs are pushing this bullshit lately. The whole picking the lesser of 2 evils is still evil bullshit. Look, I think Joe Biden is a corporate stooge of the highest order and in a fair world with a more just voting system we wouldn’t have to pick a cop loving plant from the BBB. But when the choice is him or the fucking megalomaniac he replaced? What’s the endgame? How are the christofascists with “agenda2025” or whatever the fuck they’re calling it better?
Really I want to know.
I appreciate the Biden slander but I’m seeing a trend when it comes to demonstrators. They never seem to go after Trump. He was in Atlanta the other day and was just walking around. Free as a bird. No protesters. No pushback on anything he’s done. It’s like he’s just getting a free pass.
People are protesting against genocide enabled, facilitated, and supported by the current administration. Who is the president currently enabling, facilitating, and supporting genocide? Biden. Thus, anti-genocide protestors target Biden.
If you want people to go protest Trump, take the actions necessary to organize it rather than complaining about people who are focusing on the genocide.
The subreddit ended up with a disproportionate amount of criticism regarding Biden because liberal subreddits are banning people, removing comments, removing posts, etc.
Biden's own actions have alienated parts of the base. Attempting to depict criticism of and alienation from Biden as primarily or solely due to Trump'a campaign is disingenuous.
Rather than assuming that everyone who makes these posts is pro-Trump, go check their accounts to make sure.
The post did not make the argument that you appear or claim to be responding to. Please actually engage with the point being made rather than responding to a strawman.

It’s lazy propaganda
Well, as AI art is itself rather disgusting, the shoe fits.
Who cares.
People use AI art for political satire all the time...
Using it to draw dead Palestinian children is grotesque. I don’t care what other people do, I’m sharing my opinion. I think it’s disgusting.
How is it any different than just drawing dead Palestinian children yourself??

People here seem to get triggered by AI for some reason. Regardless, Biden supports ethnic cleansing, so I’m not supporting him.

Vote for my guy," is the worst form of voter outreach I've ever seen. Credit to the libs for honesty, but that's about it...
Can someone, maybe even the mod who did it, explain to me why AI images are banned here now? What harm?
I just put out a track about the UK Biden called Hold My Nose: https://youtu.be/zGin13dgZaw?si=fUWgnR56CejLptUv
This is sick! Well done.

So funding a genocide is not a red line for you. Got it.
I'm so confused with the comments and votes in this thread. Why are there liberals here
It definitely feels overrun by liberals who think this is a pro-Trump campaign.
Because they can see the fuck you vote to their senile psychopath coming

With ZERO hesitation.

Mr Mod Man...who said anything about bots? That was a weird tangent. Also, who is playing victim? That wasn't even my comment that got taken down, I'm defending someone else so we can all know the context of my own comment. Don't be weird.
The subreddit has rules. You should read them. We are within our rights as mods to remove comments that violate said rules. Stop playing victim when you don't follow rules and your comment gets deleted. Also, to the liberals reading this, sending us abusive modmail and DMs is not going to help your case. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a bot. Rather than lazily accusing anyone and everyone who holds a different viewpoint of being a bot, actually engage with the point being made. There are plenty of spaces where you can dismiss people for being a bot and not engage with their point. This is not one of them.
Incredibly brave.
We get it. You like genocide as long as it's not against you
Very brave of you
"BUT DRUMPF!!!"
If Trump becomes president again, the pivot from the libs on Israel is gonna give us all whiplash.
Yeah the genocide will ONLY be bad if the "wrong" people do it according to liberals

Save the speech, Hillary. I'm over it.

Why don't you talk to Biden's campaign, then? Here's what a donor said about Biden's campaign manager (via [WaPo](https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/2024/04/01/biden-campaign-manager-julie-chavez-rodriguez/)): > “We all know this is a jump ball. ... In 2016, we were reading Nate Silver, and we weren’t worried at all. When we woke up, we realized we’ve never been to Wisconsin and we’ve never been to Michigan and then all the Monday-morning quarterbacks are out. That won’t be the case for Julie [Chavez Rodriguez]. Because we all are prepared to lose.” *We are all prepared to lose.* There's your bulwark against fascism, buddy. And you're gonna blame ME if Trump wins? Get your fucking priorities straight.
I genuinely don't care if trump gets in office, seems like the guy we deserve if we're complicit in genocide.

Trump will continue Bidens policies, as Biden continued Trumps policies, because both represent the same class interests, which are diametrically opposed to our class interests.
Rule 6, no lesser evil rhetoric. This includes encouraging people to vote for any capitalist political party and any capitalist politician. There is no harm reduction in supporting either of two parties headed by genocidal fascists. The extent to which any elected official of a Capitalist Party in a Capitalist state can enact evil is the extent to which that official is allowed to do so by Capital. As such, neither candidate is the lesser or greater evil. See more on our position here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/1bt0nag/rule_6_no_lesser_evil_rhetoric_is_it/

Nope, but I'd rather slit my throat then vote for someone I know will contribute to the genocide. Im not voting, I refuse to participate in the fucked up sideshow that is US politics.
Please at least vote for a third party you believe in, if you ever want to see a future where a third party vote is viable.
I want to see a future where the US isn't viable, it's a violent imperialist government that causes far more harm than good for everyone.
That's how you not get blood on your hands.
I'd rather my actions shed my blood than some poor guy I've never met before minding his own business.
I meant it was the way to go, what do you mean?

"If you don't like Biden OBVIOUSLY that means you all support Trump 100 percent" liberals have the same political literacy as trumpers. We can believe BOTH are very bad for different reasons without supporting one over the other
my brain can only process the existence of 2 things at once. If not 1 then other 😡nothing else exists
[удалено]
You thing Genocide Joe is sympathetic at all towards Gaza 💀? Biden hasbara is close to being as ridiculous as the Israeli one 🤡 Genocide is worse than Muslim ban btw
You have zero political literacy
Shame on every lib who thinks this is better than voting 3rd party 😤. It's disgusting that both libs and Cons are more than fine with little children's skulls blown open and pretend as if they have any right to look down on moral ppl 🤬
A whole lot of these sorts of subs are pushing this bullshit lately. The whole picking the lesser of 2 evils is still evil bullshit. Look, I think Joe Biden is a corporate stooge of the highest order and in a fair world with a more just voting system we wouldn’t have to pick a cop loving plant from the BBB. But when the choice is him or the fucking megalomaniac he replaced? What’s the endgame? How are the christofascists with “agenda2025” or whatever the fuck they’re calling it better? Really I want to know.
I appreciate the Biden slander but I’m seeing a trend when it comes to demonstrators. They never seem to go after Trump. He was in Atlanta the other day and was just walking around. Free as a bird. No protesters. No pushback on anything he’s done. It’s like he’s just getting a free pass.
People are protesting against genocide enabled, facilitated, and supported by the current administration. Who is the president currently enabling, facilitating, and supporting genocide? Biden. Thus, anti-genocide protestors target Biden. If you want people to go protest Trump, take the actions necessary to organize it rather than complaining about people who are focusing on the genocide.

People are more concerned about present, ongoing harm rather than hypothetical future harm.

The subreddit ended up with a disproportionate amount of criticism regarding Biden because liberal subreddits are banning people, removing comments, removing posts, etc. Biden's own actions have alienated parts of the base. Attempting to depict criticism of and alienation from Biden as primarily or solely due to Trump'a campaign is disingenuous. Rather than assuming that everyone who makes these posts is pro-Trump, go check their accounts to make sure.
Biden doesn't seem to need any help in pushing people away
well, I mean, Biden is president right now, not Trump

So I should vote for trump? The man that would more than likely pass federal abortion ban? Yeah no fucking thanks.
That was your takeaway from this? No, Trump and Biden are two sides of the same coin.
And only one of those men would pass a federal ban. 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
It sounds like you only care about domestic policies and the funding of a genocide overseas by this sitting president is acceptable? Classic liberal.
Welcome to the United States of America bro. We’ve been funding that shit for awhile. It’s completely unacceptable. Unfortunately with only two choices for president, yes I will go with the one who doesn’t want a federal abortion ban.
Ok

Uhuh

Yes

Imagine being this excited and bullish for a candidate who actively supports the murder of babies. Fucked up.
Little confused. I understand the whole scene is fucked, but like, what’s the choice here?
Can we ban election politics in this sub?
Ban election politics on a sub that criticizes capitalism? Yes they are totally unrelated. Ok bro.
Liberal blue maga cult projecting again. Sorry not voting for biden. Voting for my parties candidate. If your trash candidate doesn't win then I guess you should have ran a better candidate.
Did…did you think this was a legit ad for Biden?
This is so stupid lmao
That’s a super intelligent criticism you’ve got there. What about it is stupid? Do tell.
