it’d be on the corporations deciding to change narrative independently, not being forced to by the government.

That is incredibly naive

Hall monitors are the most unlikable people on earth

Socialism would be if the inhaler companies were democracies that were owned by everyone who worked there, rather than dictatorships owned by a CEO.

This isn’t socialism. It’s social democracy, and arguably simply social liberalism

Do you think you’re good at being persuasive?

Israel bombed Rafah and Biden did nothing.

Biden has consistently given Israel all of the military aid it asks for. The “pause” lasted only a few days. And then Israel bombed Rafah

There will not be a permanent ceasefire. This is purely optics to make it look like Biden is doing something. And will be used to blame Hamas and justify additional murder when the negotiations inevitably collapse. It is only for optics

The Republicans are identical to the Dems in terms of policy on the Gazan Genocide. The Dems just use softer language when they exterminate Gazans than the Republicans would.

I don’t care what language is used. I don’t care about aesthetics. I care about stopping the United States and Israel’s extermination of the Gazans. Biden needs to do that, and to enact systemic regime change in Israel to prevent this from ever happening again

The only attacks on minorities that I’ve observed on here are attacks on those who think Gazans should not experience genocide.

Plenty of people on here who simp for the American ruling class though

It’s not conservatives. Conservatives aren’t on Lemmy.

It’s the majority of Democrats who now believe Israel is committing genocide. And who can’t afford housing or groceries

Biden is not trying to slow the genocide down. He is funding it and arming it.

He is better than Trump on every other issue. There is no difference here on the issue of genocide

It’s like asking if Auschwitz or Dachau is worse

Both need to be liberated

Biden is currently committing genocide. Which is the worst crime there is.

Trump would also commit genocide.

Biden needs to change his policy on this drastically. Why won’t he? If he doesn’t, he loses.

Biden and Netanyahu are currently perpetrating genocide. Haley is not.

What did Never Again mean after the Holocaust? Did it mean nothing?

Who cares? Biden sent the bombs and Netanyahu is using them. She has no power here - they do.

She’s evil as a general matter. But Biden and Netanyahu are worse regarding the current genocide

“The Germans needed the gas to fight back the Soviets - how were we to know they would continue to send our gas to Dachau?”

Why is Biden sending bombs then?

But she obviously will never be charged. Ever.

Genocide is bad because it’s evil, not because it’s illegal. Idk why you’re fixated on laws here

Israel’s intention is to resolve the Palestinian issue by exterminating the Gazans. They will then continue to ethnically cleanse the West Bank via illegal settlements and terrorism. Once that is completed, they will turn to Lebanon. This is Likud’s goal of creating Greater Israel, and will be accomplished with American funds and bombs for so long as AIPAC has power.

Biden and Trump will both facilitate this. Which will further erode American international influence and degrade the “rules based world order.” Which is a further symptom of the decline of the American empire. Which will negatively effect the longterm outlook of American citizens

Trump is worse than Biden. But Biden is permanently destroying Millenial and Zoomer view of the Democratic Party. Which means fascism will be elected in 2028 or 2032, if not in 2024

presidents are required by American law since 2008 to ensure that Israel is better armed than all its neighbours

Or else what?

Also, funding and arming genocide is also illegal. And immoral. And stupid.

Did you vote in that primary to try and get a more progressive candidate? Have you worked to get your local community to support more progressive candidates in small offices, so they can eventually become high level candidates?

Yes, actually

The point is his career took twelve years and it was considered a meteoric rise, incredibly fast.

Right, because he was willing to be a corporate shill who happened to be generationally charismatic. Which is what Buttigieg tried (and failed) to replicate. And is what Bill Clinton successfully did in 1992 - though he had a longer career prior to that than either 08 Obama or 2020 Buttigieg

The system and ruling class are highly opposed to socialists. And are even opposed to social democrats like the Nordic countries or FDR. We live in an oligarchic empire in decline. Which means that fascism is unfortunately very likely in our lifetimes - if not via Trump in 2024, then likely via someone else in 2028 or 2032. The fact that we’ll soon be dealing with increased millions of climate refugees, both internationally and from gulf states like Florida, will only accelerate such devolution.

So telling people to vote harder is very insufficient. People are correct to be depressed and furious. Their futures are bleak - but not as bleak as the futures of their grandchildren

Biden/Dems sent the genocide bombs and Haley/Republicans autographed them.

I’m not sure how that improves things

actual conservative voter support is still soft.

That is really not true at all. He is beloved by the base and is exactly what they want
