there are wikipedia articles about both of these topics:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_terrorism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_terrorism

and, of course,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_violence

edit:

this is only one metric, but i think it's notable that there are about 80 references on the left wing page and approximately 3.5 times that many on the right wing page.

the difference is that CNN gets paid.

wait...

they may have been referring to the Senate intelligence committee investigation

so do it

there is no way you tested a bubblegum and lollipops economy with an infinite lollipop machine, and if you did, the results are not applicable to the economies of Venezuela or Zimbabwe

this is storytelling, it is not evidence of a testable causal relationship

this is posturing and rhetoric. it is not evidence of a natural phenomenon called "inflation"

that's story-telling. it's a myth. everyone could have chosen not to accept higher prices, or levy them. then what? did "inflation" still happen?

oh, ok.

“He’s done more for our members than any president in my lifetime.”

that's not "ever", and it's not quantified anyway.

your second quote has no meaningful metric at all about biden, only juxtaposing him against harris

the third says he's been trying to make good on his campaign promise, but it does not actually show the bar for how to become the most pro-union president, nor how biden has approached (or passed) that measure.

the fourth is some platitudes.

if a claim is to be made, it should be able to be evidenced. otherwise, it's just rhetoric.

i don't give any credence to any argument that involves inflation. i don't believe anyone makes any decision that causally increases or decreases the buying power of a dollar, except perhaps the buyer and seller in any transaction, but only within the confines of that transaction, anyway. i do care about people being able to overthrow the capitalist system and the president stepping in and saying "no" is fucking infuriating.

this is handwaving.

edit:

this user has, to their credit, probably given me every relevant search result they could scrounge up to try to support their position, but have not actually provided the metric by which we could evaluate whether biden has been the most pro-union president ever. i suspect it is because no such metric exists, and, as such, can never be used to measure the actions of any president. instead of acknowledging that they are simply spreading rhetoric-as-fact, they have chosen to take a sarcastic, patronizing tone. feel free to think what you want about unions, presidential candidates, and whatnot, but please recognize that this claim in particular is purely rhetorical and not one that can be substatiated by any evidence.

and then once no one was paying attention anymore, his administration kept working the issue and got the workers the sick days they were striking for in the first place.

some of the workers got some of their demands. if they'd been able to bring the rail to a halt, they might have gotten it all.

by what metric was he "most" pro-union?

if you think the mods have a pro-propaganda bot agenda, why would you want to use their community? there are hundreds of Lemmy instances and thousands of other fediverse servers.

renters bring risks. if the home is on the market, they also make it a half to sell

you cant know either way. just report

I think 7 days is too long for the problems in this particular thread. a day would have sent a sufficient message

I like the thrust of your comments but I understand why they can't be allowed to stand as you have written them.

I disagree that we should be calling each other "troll" or any other pejorative.
