We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

“That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy,” said Biden privately, according to Woodward. “He’s a bad fucking guy!”

Reads like a bloody Onion article.

You assume too much.

I simply have principles and won't just stand quiet in the face of evildoing, no matter what the excuse.

As I pointed out multiple times before, the simplest thing is for one man, Joe Biden, to change the way he acts, not for millions to close their eyes and swallow their principles (or for thousands of useful idiots to come out and defend his indefensible actions, making themselves accomplices along with him in the mass murder of children).

In 10 or 20 years' time, when the full form of this Holocaust is known, I will know I was always on the right side and you and those like you will be trying to forget how you tainted your hands with the blood of children, protecting Biden from being forced to not help murder them anymore.

I'll leave you with a thought: do you think the bombing of residential neighborhoods in Beirut with 2000lb bombs sent from the US (which the US Military refuses to use because the collateral damage is too great) which has killed countless civilians including children, would have happened without the useful idiots and tribalists having spend the last year doggedly defending of Biden allowing him to send ever more and more dangerous weapons to Israel? To you really think the chain of events that has resulted in Israel extending the war to Lebanon would've still happened if there was a massive outcry against Joe Biden and the Democrats 6 months ago, well before the election?

Glad to see people with a spine piping up on this website. I'm so fucking tired of the "non voters help Trump win" narrative. It's so fucking pathetic.

[–] shikitohno@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Eh, non-voters in some states could help Trump win, but it's hardly a universal thing. My bigger issue with this sort of rhetoric is that criticizing absolutely reprehensible policies advanced by the Democrats does not equal endorsing Trump, as many Zionist shills here like to claim. I want to be able to unreservedly back Democratic candidates in the upcoming elections, but "enables and supports genocide and the massacre of civilian men, women and children," is one hell of a reservation to make your voters have.

Yeah I understand Trump has a better chance of winning if less people vote for Harris. My point is that instead of blaming voters for not wanting to vote for dems people need to blame the dems for not being worth voting for.

It's mask-off really quickly when those who are kinder and engage when you flatly state you're not voting Dem, too.

Youre not alone. I'm voting uncommitted along with many others.

[–] Maeve@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

I know I'm not alone, but it's so nice when others show public solidarity. Thank you so much. 🤝 ✊

I'm afraid it doesn't take much spine to speak up online, especially since I'm an European and hence with little at stake on the US Presidential race.

(Mind you, I do go beyond words and have a been a member of small Leftwing parties in two of the countries I lived in).

None the less, thanks for the compliment.
