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.

Remember Americans, this is what Joe Biden would have happily continued until the very end, until he realized it would cost him the election.

Do you really think Trump who desperately seeks the approval of every strongman in the universe would have stood up to Netanyahu to tell him to stop?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Oh, is Trump on the democratic primary ballot?

This movement is to vote uncommitted in the Primary to force Biden to pull back on his genocidal Zionist ideals before the election so he has a chance of taking those uncommitted votes and turning them into Biden votes.

Aid air-drops are not good enough when bombs and guns are still going from American armories to the Palestinian slaughterhouse in the West Bank and Gaza. The only solution the Americans have is to pull funding and armaments going to Israel and then have talks about a one-state solution with Palestinians and Israelis as equals in a non-religious non-ethnostate.

The “But Trump” argument is disappointing after reading the article.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

They probably only looked at the first picture, didn't read the article and almost certainly didn't look at the photos at the end of the article.

Biden could have stopped sending money and weapons to Israel but hasn't, Biden and Netanyahu starved that boy to death.

In the primary vote uncommitted, in the general vote Biden and down ticket for all the most progressive candidates you can.

No, I don't. Do you have any more hypotheticals or do you want to talk about the real world?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

In the real world it’s a real election year with a real chance Donald Trump becomes president again. Really. So yes, it’s really obviously relevant and important to keep that in mind. In the real world you have to look at the options available to you and act on those realities.

Can we talk about the current president and his actions or not?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 8 months ago (3 children)

If you post a statement clearly aimed at inducing negative sentiment against Biden, it's natural for me to assume that you favor Trump.

Why else would take the time to write a comment like that?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Because there is a fucking genocide going on being supported by the current president.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

It's super weird to assume that criticizing a politician automatically means someone supports the opposition candidate.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Criticism of the man aiding and abetting a genocide surprises you?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 8 months ago

It’s called priorities. When you’re an adult there are levels of importance
