Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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's all the rules!

the blue maga can’t see anything with their tongue so up dnc cronies.

Are you asking if we still think Biden and Harris are complicit in the ongoing genocide? Yeah, yeah we do. Shit is bad right now, long before Trump takes office.

[–] Krono@lemmy.today 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm right here. Democrats are still evil for supporting a genocide, and your "lesser of two evils" logic continues to make us more evil.

What do you think of the 30 days the Democrats gave Israel to improve the humanitarian situation by measurable metrics? Israel failed every metric, but the Democratic administration ignores the results and continues to ship weapons to the genocidal regime.

What do you think of the dozens of international doctors who have been to Gaza saying they saw children with single gunshot wounds to the head almost everyday? Reports are widespread that israeli snipers are intentionally killing 100s of children each month.

What do think of Israels recent use of small arms drones? After an American/Israeli bomb destroys a civilian building, a dozen small drones swarm the area. These drones fire small cube-shaped projectiles with the force to pierce skin and break bones, using AI to target any human in the designated area. They are deadly accurate and fast, firing 3 at the head, 3 at the chest, and 3 at the groin. Doctors say these projectiles are especially hard to fish out of the bodies of the child victims as they rarely exit the body, instead they bounce around causing more internal damage.

Suggesting that the people upset about an ongoing genocide are just going to forget about it due to electoral politics is disgusting, and you should feel ashamed.

Hear hear.

People ignore that Biden’s policy was simply indefensible. He fought his own party, he fought his advisors and the media and he STILL lost the election. There’s no longer a need to carry water for him.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Right here. Republicans being worse doesn't excuse selling weapons for an ongoing genocide. Democrats never should have done that. And it got you nothing. You supported genocide for nothing.

I think a lot of the hostility here is because centrists are mad that trump is going to be able to take credit for the complete implementation of their only policy.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Russians don't need to make them anymore.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Democrats should never have supported genocide. Am I a Russian?

[–] mushroomstormtrooper@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It still applies? Just because the Republicans are exponentially worse doesn't mean the democrats weren't supporting genocide too.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No, it doesn’t apply at all.

The point of the anti-Dem posts was to get people to not vote Dem when objectively allowing a trump win was worse.

You’re suggesting actively supporting worse is better.

That’s fucked up.

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Nope. The point was to pressure Biden to listen to his advisors and do the moral and correct and even politically popular thing and he refused.

[–] mushroomstormtrooper@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not at all suggesting supporting worse is better and I have no clue how you came to that conclusion. Allowing a Trump win was absolutely worse and I agree it would have been better for everyone to suck it up and vote blue.

That being said its incredibly fucked up to pretend the democrats are completely innocent which is just blatantly not true. They are better by comparison, but definitely not innocent and still supportive of genocide.

I'm not talking about the posts, I'm talking about you guys trying to sweep shit under the rug. It doesn't work like that.

To answer your question: It does not still apply.
