Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

imo the genocide in Gaza is far worse
America is geopolitically isolated on its support for Israel, to the point where it's rapidly accelerating the collapse of its hegemony. We might lose Turkey in NATO, we might lose Egypt's cooperation on migration, dedollarization is accelerating, normalization between Israel and the surrounding neighbors is dead, international law is a joke, and this is happening at the same time that French imperialism in Africa is also collapsing with coups and revolts.
It's Joever
EDIT Downvoting me won't bring back American prestige you fuckin libs. What is Biden going to do when South Africa's suit against Israel finds them guilty of the crime of genocide? When America is compelled by international law to take available actions to stop genocide?
I'll tell you what he'll do! Nothing. When he does, the rest of the world is going to continue leaving America behind. Good riddance. 😜
They're not down voting you because they're liberals. They're down vote you because you're likely an accelerationis hypocrite. With shitty unconstructive hot takes and zero actual solutions.
I have a proposal, stop sending weapons to the fucking genocide, stop trying to use the military to protect a genocide. It's not a poster online doing this, it's our fucking government accelerating things you twat.
Love when a quisling shows up to say I'm the threat
Here's a proposal for you. As a non linenist Marxist and socialist I agree. As do many Democrats and liberals even. The thing is, our goals have to be realistic and achievable. And realistically what's achievable is likely either a Biden or Trump presidency. And believe me things will be worse under Trump. For democrats to be able to make any sort of positive change they have to be in control. Even if that means a flawed candidate like Biden.
Had I seen the name of the person I replied to. I either probably would have just downloaded and not replied. And definitely would not have used the term likely hypocrite. It's a 100% thing with them. And likely with a twat like yourself. U ml are like perpetual 10-year-olds. Your own worst enemies and saboteurs. And a threat to everyone else.
Abolition wasn't realistic or achievable until we fought a civil war over it.
Not advocating anything! Just something to think about.
Sadly, it's more complicated than that. See, you have multi-billionaire shareholders in the companies manufacturing the weapons we're selling, and they will absolutely sue the federal government over lost profits, and The Federalist Society SCOTUS stooges currently in office will rule in their favor. Thanks, Capitalism.
An accelerationist would advocate voting for Trump to hasten to collapse of America. I'm not doing that. I'm just not voting for Biden.
Hell, I'm voting down ticket Democrat in case Trump wins and they need to obstruct his agenda! Hardly accelerationism.
Wait until you learn that the republican agenda will keep doing the same regarding gaza.
That's why I'm not voting for them. 🙄
Let me guess third PaRtY
No, I'm voting for Hillary Clinton. It's still Her turn!
Sure, and that hillary clinton is with you in the same room?
If you mean Bill's wife, she is not running.
You can write in anyone you want dawg
America's not going down without taking everyone with them.
They're crazy!
America is taking everyone with them anyway! See the latest climate summit for an example.
I’m more concerned about the American so-called communist who live in their mommy’s basements and troll online.
You're concerned about something you made up more than runaway climate change. Cool!
Very American.
As an outsider, I find American obsession over Jan 6th to be absolutely bizarre. At worst it was a riot. How exactly is a riot at the capital going to cause a coup? I'm guessing you too probably have overblown Jan 6th concerns but peoples response to your comment only confirms my thoughts. People are so entrenched in maintaining the "most dangerous thing since the civil war" that they are willing to consume their own over the smallest disagreements.
Also, these people claiming Trump would be worse in Gaza, but it's not clear the US would be worse in Gaza if Trump won, the US has put up zero road blocks currently and with Trump in the Whitehouse the democrats would actually push back against the genocide because Trump is now president. Plus more negative press from the corporate media, again, because Trump is in charge. Not saying it's the most likely case, but it can be argued.
