So, you've intentionally or not missed the point that Biden does not make all the decisions for the US. He's in a difficult position especially with Congress and Republicans overwhelmingly supporting Israel.
And you haven’t heard it from me. I don’t call him that.
That's fine. I'm not only discussing you. I'm discussing "leftist bro" people who can't stop talking shit about Biden constantly and don't seem concerned at all about Republican plans for Trump and the country. If that's you, then okay.
And any criticism of Biden is support for Trump.
Excessive, unfair and pointless criticism helps Trump, yes. Do Trump and Republicans deserve any crticism? Well, no way, I'll just talk shit about Biden endlessly.
Griping about Biden enabling genocide on a small fledgling platform inhabited almost entirely by centrists who just want his critics to shut up isn’t going to throw anything.
So, it's interesting how "so leftist bro" people come to places where people are likely to vote for Biden and try to erode his support. Guess who that would help?
You should be fucking livid that Biden is enabling genocide
How old are you? Israel has been doing this forever, with full US support. It's been going on for decades before I was born. Were you livid when the French and British set up the whole thing in the 40s?
Sounds like a justification for never, ever stopping.
not in anyway whatsoever is that " justification for never, ever stopping". It's pointing out that "OMG JOR BIDEN" is just a clueless thing to be fixating on. Again, as if Biden makes all the decisions for the entire country by himself. This was going on for decades before Biden was in power.

That's correct, nobody here support genocide. If you want to help Trump be in charge of Palestinian, Ukrainian, LGBT and central American genocides, keep it up.
I'm not really clear why. Biden has ran a competent administration and it's been like night and day compared to the chaotic horror of the trump admin. Of course, Biden should absolutely be pressured to change policy on Israel. AIPAC is a very powerful force in US politics, however. This is likely to be a close election and talking endless shit about Biden and encouraging people from voting or encouraging them to vote 3rd party absolutely is a gift to Trump. Netanyahu would love for Trump to be elected, as would Putin. It would be a greenlight for them to be even worse in their respective wars. Denigrating Biden and eroding his support will not solve anything for Palestine, and will totally screw Ukraine and Americans.
Quite obviously, I oppose genocide, and the Palestinians have deserved much better for years. Throwing this election over that issue makes absolutely no sense, though.
You could just ask me, I guess. Am I belittling genocide opposition? No. What I am opposed to is blaming the entire thing on Biden, as if 95% of the rest of the political establishment isn't involved and wouldn't have done the same things or worse. "Genocide Joe" is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. People seem totally ready to throw this election to trump, who has made it clear he would be even worse about Palestine, over this single issue, which would fuck over the US in an almost incalculable way. And then, it sure is odd how people who consider themselves leftists or communists spend huge amounts of time and energy bashing Biden and Democrats and NEVER express any concerns about Republicans or Trump. It makes absolutely no sense given that Democratic administrations are much better on issues they claim to care about - clean energy, unions, environmental regulations, women's rights, appointing reasonable people to courts, and so on.
Biden hasn’t been selling weapons he knows will be used for genocide for the past several decades.
The US just started supporting Israel with weapons and finances? Huh, I could have sworn that's been going on for at least 50 years.
It prevents knocking in sensitive vintage vehicles, which were designed for leaded gas, too. That article also covers why ethanol can be harmful for them.
I have an ancient PC with a nice video card, and it plays games from about five years ago quite well I haven’t felt a need to upgrade. Unfortunately, I play a couple games with kernel level anti-cheat stuff and I don’t think they will work with linux.
That makes sense. I recall some people saying it was contrary to the ethos of the Fediverse but I don’t blame Beehaw. It’s perfectly legitimate to use Lemmy as a self contained forum or to restrict federation as the admins see fit.
Yes, because people were trained to look for the lock icon, though pretty much every site has it now, whether it’s something that necessitates security vs just privacy benefits. Maybe looking for the lock is outdated, idk, but it was emphasized a lot a few years ago.
It was a while ago. Apparently they thought their vision was more to be a self contained forum than connected to everyone else and also that it was “safer”.
I have a couple fairly serious chronic conditions and discuss them with a wide variety of people online. Sometimes it’s apparent that the knowledge level of someone asking a question is just way too much to be filled in with a reddit comment, and the consequences of them getting it wrong could be very dangerous or fatal - for instance, discussing insulin dosage. Some people rely on their doctor for every adjustment, while others have experience and knowledge and feel comfortable making their own changes to ratios or basal dosage. If someone sounds sorta of clueless I sure as hell am not going to tell them to adjust their dosage in a way that could land them in a hospital or kill their kid or something and at those times, the best advice is “you should probably ask your doctor”.
That would be great, i agree we should! But blaming it all on Biden and discouraging people from voting for him is not going to achieve that.
