Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.

I very much doubt that you find it disgusting at all, considering you've spent the past year vocally supporting it.
Please tell this to everyone who blames people who opposed genocide for Democrats' loss, then. And remember. Since we were so insignificant that opposition to genocide was treated with withering contempt and overt hatred by lemmy's centrists, we are also too insignificant to blame. Enjoy trump's implementation of centrism's only actual policy.
Then quit your cringe yapping and quote a single clear instance. Because I will be able to quote five that say the opposite. I've said those exact words multiple times over the last year. Stop being a baseless divisive whiner and provide the receipts.
They know that's the problem. You are also the problem though. There can be more than one problem. And people like yourself are absolutely part of it.
Then they're just screaming at the left because they hate them and not genocide.
Or, just bare with me here. Admit that you contributed to the problem. That you are committed to actually making change. Helping people, and not baselessly attacking people who would be your allies. Something I'm trying to do better with as well. It's not just you.
Fascism is here. It was delayable or possibly avoidable. But there are clear undeniable parallels to late 1920s German. They're already targeting minorities. And we need to get our shit together and work together to protect them. Whether they are Hispanic trans or otherwise.
Opposition to genocide is only a "problem" to those who support it.
Change as in getting the Democratic party to move to the left? Or change as in meek servility to the Democratic Party's pro-genocide wing no matter what they do?
After this last election cycle, I have given up forever on the laughable concept of Democrats ever being the allies of the left.
They? Democrats ran anti-trans hate in their own ads. Democrats adopted Republican border policy. Democrats supported genocide. Democrats voted with Republicans on their anti-trans defense bill. Democrats already preemptively decided that bigotry was going to have bipartisan support.
Someone has to. It will never be Democrats.
You mean a Harris voter with empty rhetoric like yourself? A genocide supporter like yourself? No one has a problem with opposition to genocide. People have a problem with you being a hypocrite.
You choose the latter while faking the former.
I tried to talk to you like an adult. I apologize, it was clearly a mistake. You're just a childish hypocrite.
