the take away from social media is fascinating, especially on the lemmyverse: the pejorative stores about biden's performance are everywhere online and tv, but heavily downvoted on .world while the rest of the lemmyverse is much more closely matched with everything else in the world.
in 4 years progressives will hopefully realize the DNC needs them more than they need need the DNC.
the progressives already know that the dnc needs them more than they need the dnc as evidenced by dnc surrogates perpetually shaming progressives for not voting for the dnc; i'm guessing there's a typo in your sentence somewhere, but i'm not sure where.
That’s the problem, everyone told the DNC this was going to happen and yet they all just kept with Biden.
i think that's only the tip of the iceberg; we're going to vote for them anyways so they literally have no reason to bother listening, ever.
I’m fully willing to endure 4 years of Weekend at Bernie’s if it means I won’t have to go through the embarrassment of having the orange moron at the helm.
DEAR PLEASE GOD someone turn this into comedic satire before the election!!!
Also, the antisemitism talked about in the article is genuine hatred of Jewish people, not just anti-Israel rhetoric.
i was referring to the american version of the anti-isreal rhetoric; there's a bill in congress that will enable labeling anti-genocide protestors as antisemitic and will give our government the ability to treat them as a hate group as was done in france with the radical islamic group thing.
jonas paris is the example used to justify the labeling like fox news shows stock footage of gang violence to activate their base or democrats pointing to project 2025 to activate theirs.
they have amnesia about biden on anything further back that 2020; so that tracks.
or even better than that, put up a candidate that doesn't have a decades long history of anti-gay, anti-feminist, anti-integration stances and/or isn't okay with genocide or apartheid multiple times over the decades.
obama was the closest thing they ever had to that and we had one of the highest voter turn outs ever as a result; but this fact must to too inconvenient for them since they went right back to the old status quo candidates and cock blocked a popular candidate from the presidency twice.
even a broken clock is right twice a day; but in trump's case it was only once. lol
i wish he was on drugs; maybe he would have done better.
I would vote for a wet sandwich before I vote for Trump, but Jesus Christ, it would be nice if the democrats fucking tried.
why should they? you're going to give them what they want from you anyways in november and multiple novembers into the future; there's literally no reason for them to ever bother.
Maybe providence didn’t see fit to give you the choice of saving all Palestinian lives, but it certainly seems to be giving you the choice to save your own.
holy hyperbole batman!!!
biden's past and future actions have and will fuck up my life several times before i die; meanwhile trump has unwittingly helped.
also biden's track record of supporting the status quo no matter what, especially when it comes to lgbt issues and human rights; proves that he would also willingly go along with whatever laws that those cryptofacists successfully sustain through congress and the supreme court. (sometimes there are signs that he may have grown a conscience, so i want to be clear: he won't like it, but he'll go along with it willingly).
why? no one's on the fence so parroting this doesn't convince anyone; so it only serves to alienate other leftists voters.
if your approval for biden's track record only spans the last 3 years instead of all 51, then you're going to vote for him anyways; meanwhile people who have been watching him for decades are reminded of his true colors in these parroting the transparently feels-good/does-nothing actions.
it's toxic positivity.
Why wouldn’t he wait then?
by taking the plea deal, he's a convicted felon that will be stuck in australia for the rest of his life; under the watchful eye of surrogates of the american hegemony he spat on.
if he had waited, he would be free to go anywhere he wanted; outside the control of the people who still want him in imprisoned.
I was going to join the Navy to help pay for school, and then one day it was no longer legal 🤡
something similar happened to me when i learned about don't ask don't tell.
i ended up taking student loans and i regret it.
they're called the "radical muslim groups" in the article; along the same vein that people protesting the genocide are "antisemitic"
preemptively striking at groups from both the left the right at the same time; biden should take notes.
i wonder if they ever highered that meme manager; if they did, they should do this.
close enough; but thanks for catching that
i need to like biden and i need some kind of justification for voting for him besides not being trump and him being complicit in an active genocide.
he voted for don't ask don't tell and publicly advocated against gays in any sort of federal and government service up since the 70's
UPDATE: i was thinking defense of marriage act; don't ask don't tell was a policy that biden supported but never had the option of voting for.
The House has passed legislation that would establish a broader definition of antisemitism for the Department of Education to enforce anti-discrimination laws.

hr-6090 will make criticizing isreal illegal including the protests. it’s already passed the the house and biden has signaled his support for it. i wonder why this isn’t on lemmy already since it’s been a thing for a month so far.
