Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

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.

Saying it's a turning point with no clear indication on where it should turn to is not an effective message from a political leader.

Hey look! Someone who only read the headline!

As someone who read the article, she did say it's a turning point with no clear indication on where it should turn to. I mean she said "we should end the war" but yeah how the fuck do you intend to do that? She says nothing other than "diplomacy", which is a dog whistle for "allowing Israel to do whatever it wants". I mean what the fuck is this?

“I continue to believe diplomacy is the answer to bringing lasting stability across the Israel-Lebanon border and as vice president — and with your help as president — I will do everything in my power to achieve these goals,”

Edit: On a closer look is it me or is she not mentioning Gaza in that proposed diplomacy of hers? She's only bringing up the Israeli-Lebanon border. If I'm reading this right, this is very damning and more or less confirms she has no intention of actually doing anything about Gaza.

Yep, she also promoted several false narratives.

"Everyone must seize this opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza, bring the hostages home, and end the suffering once and for all."

The rest of her statement. Which is in the article.

Yes, but how? This isn't anything Biden hasn't been saying for the past year, and we've seen nothing but escalation after escalation with absolutely no consequences. There comes a point when these words become meaningless.

[–] treefrog@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

That's fair. I don't trust her to actually do anything either.
