While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.

I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.

      I’m honestly impressed with the mental gymnastics on display in lefty spaces on this subject, especially here. People go on and on about Israel committing genocide while from 1948-present Gaza’s population went from 250k to 2M people, 3x the world average. They’re doing a shit job at a genocide.

      But what would Hamas do if the power dynamic were reversed. Luckily, they told us:

      “The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.”

      Whatdyaknow?? Literally kill all the Jews.

      When you can’t win on the facts, just throw out an ad hominem and run away. ;) Thanks for conceding my point, though!
