Interesting, why is a “keep Ukraine nazified” account posting about Israel?

The older you get, the more you’ll realize it’s okay and even a good idea to just say “I don’t really know about this.”
To say that Harris and trump mean the same thing for the Palestinians is outright nonsensical. Some of the Israeli ministers (notably Smotrich) have been very explicit about the fact that trump’s win, among other things, makes annexation of the West Bank much more likely.
There’s a lot of background that you kind of really have to be in the weeds to catch but if you’ve been reading Foreign Policy and others, you’d know that while the Biden administration ought to have done more, there were still some red lines (annexation, hitting Iranian oil/nuclear facilities etc.) With trump in charge, it’s unclear which if any red lines still exist.
It’s a humanitarian crisis but to claim that Harris and trump mean the same thing is as downright silly as you can get. Saying things that are patenly nonsensical makes you look pretty danged silly.
Manufacturing consent is one of my favourites!
It’s not even privilege, just wildly ignorant or childish to see something horrible and decide “yup, can’t get worse than that!”
If you literally don’t understand that trump and Harris will have very different red lines, you don’t know enough to talk about this.
That’s a wildly privileged set of statements. Declaring that a bad thing id happening and it doesn’t matter if it gets worse, goddamn kid.
Both claims are debatable.
Do you think things won’t get worse under trump? Or do you think some 50,000 dead a year is the worst Israel can do?
Kid, you should try reading things by actual, paid journalists, who aren’t just contributors to free online “news” sources.
Or good books.
Lol, I keep joking to people that my side is dumb enough to believe the two are equal on that and every day one of y’all proves me right.
Vote Harris… Wait. Damnit.
I think you meant to respond to op, but I pretty much agree with what you wrote.
We can’t even get more progressives than moderates/centrists to the Democratic primaries so I’d be pretty surprised to see even half that show up for something radical.
Exactly. Given that this election came down to what, a few dozen ballots, every little bit helped.
The NDP is one of the few incumbent governments that survived (barely!) an election after this bout of record inflation and whatnot. I don’t think the tax cuts were ideal but people feel the pinch right now and if they hadn’t offered them, I imagine Rustad would be digging us an even deeper hole.
It’s the difference between being in a burning building and being the same burning building while people throwing Molotov cocktails through the windows.
Both are dangerous but one is worse.
No one can change everything but everyone can change something.
Ech, tonight sucks but please don’t make lemmy suck too.
Talk and gasp befriend those with whom we disagree.
The fact that not one comment thus far has grappled with “we might just not be as popular as the republicans” is kind of telling.
We either write of slightly more than half the country or figure out a way to win them over.
(Admittedly, there’s a slim chance where we rack up very specific sets of votes but I haven’t seen anything to make that a reasonable bet.)
Well, I for one, make it rule to always trust someone whose sources are “trust me bro” !
Why do you think it’s moderation?
And why on Earth would you think Lemmy doesn’t skew young?
In trump’s economy, maybe?
