  • Imagine excusing violence and antisemitism in America because of the actions of a government thousands of miles away.

  • In response to this hacking, Germany should actually give Ukraine these missiles and plenty of Russian targets to aim them at.

  • the mob grabbed a sophomore who tried to attend the event, called him a “dirty Jew” and spit on him. She said that protesters also shoved a senior into the auditorium door as she tried to check in attendees, and that they grabbed a freshman by her neck.

    That's antisemitism right there, you didn't even need to click into the article, just open your eyes a little.

  • Depends on where you end up. There's a big difference between being Azish vs. Shin vs. Veden vs. Alethi, etc., and even what Highprince you're under if you're Alethi.

  • Sanders isn't running this election. In fact, he's supporting Biden. He's not a reasonable option to try to dump Biden for.

  • Yep. If I see someone from hexbear, anything they're saying I immediately ignore. Lemmy.ml is full of assholes, but they don't advertise it that way so a lot of decent people are on there too. You can't really judge an individual just because they're on lemmy.ml imo.

  • Absolutely irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that Biden will be the nominee against Trump, regardless of what happens in Palestine. Doing anything besides voting for him is holding the door open for fascism to take over when Trump takes power.

    You either do the bare minimum to stop Trump by voting for his only viable opponent, or you let him come to power with your blessing. Those are the only two options in November.

  • No, it's not. You don't sub out a candidate with someone who, nine months before the election, has no interest in running for the office. That's a pipe dream doing nothing but distracting you from the reality that it's going to be Biden vs. Trump, and despite how imperfect you feel Biden is, you're going to have to vote for him, because the alternative is fascist authoritarianism.

    Come November, Sanders will be voting for Biden. I suggest you follow his lead.

  • I'd love to have Sanders, I voted for him last primary, and I'd vote for him again.

    He's not running. You don't win with a candidate who's not running for election.

  • Which candidate, specifically, A) Wants to be president and is willing to run, B) Is better than Biden on the issues you mentioned, and C) Has a reasonable chance of beating Trump in the general election?

    I'm dead serious, pitch me a name.

  • Which person, specifically, would be better to vote for than Biden that has a reasonable chance of winning?

  • Unlimited biscuits and gravy...

    Man, that's the dream!

  • The blame will fall squarely on the voters who stood idly by navel-gazing while a fascist took power.

  • The primary. A general election in which a fascist like Donald Trump isn't the only other viable option.

    Like it or not, we have a two party system. Either Biden's going to be the next president, or Trump is. When it comes to the general election, if you do anything besides voting for Biden, you're complicit in electing Trump.

  • Despicable. As others have mentioned, American evangelicals are complicit in this.

  • For U.S. president elected and then denied the nomination, it was Franklin Pierce in 1856.

    Chester A. Arthur was VP who took over when James Garfield was assassinated, and he was denied the party nomination in 1884.

  • You're absolutely right there but I can definitely see some out-of-touch millionaire executive in an office somewhere having the brilliant idea, "We're gonna be the Uber of restaurants!"
