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.

Despite these red flags I think people will just vote for him as a counter vote to Trump. America would rather have a President asleep at his desk than one who wants to burn the house down.
The choice is pretty easy:
Aid and support to Israel
Or
Aid and support to Israel, and give Ukraine to Russia, and give Taiwan to China, and implement fascism at home
Interesting way to describe committing Genocide. Are you a fan of it perhaps?
By pretending that Biden can ignore Genocide you are the only one helping Trump.
The Genocide stops loses. Get it through your head. And start showing Biden to stop supporting Genocide in the polls.
You live in make believe world where you think your ideas change reality. Tell me how abstaining and allowing Trump to get elected, makes your life better? Fuck all the other people you're fucking over, literally killing, in some cases. YOU. WHAT DO YOU GAIN FROM A TRUMP PRESIDENCY IN JAN?
Sorry I forgot the part where I am not stupid enough to get blackmailed into condoning Genocide.
You better start telling Biden to stop his Genocide because if he does not he will lose :)
It seems from interactions people have with you that everyone is pretty much clued in on your obvious propaganda and what you’re get if at.
Yet you still continue- even though you’re getting comments removed and bans from seemingly every community you post in.
If it were for the fact that from appearances, you’re actively trying to undermine American democracy, I’d be impressed-
But again, Biden is not committing genocide. And you haven’t offered a shred of evidence that he is.
Those certainly don't look like deep-fakes to me.
As long as I'm seeing video or picture evidence I don't care who the source is.
QNN is mostly just an information aggregation source. Their descriptions can be wrong but their pictures are not fake.

Stop with the right wing rhetoric and leave people alone.
Why are you spamming this? https://lemmy.world/comment/8047184
This is clear misinformation and bad faith vote influencing.
What do you make of this article? https://theintercept.com/2024/01/11/israel-air-force-targeting-intelligence/
I think this:

What's that?
it's an evaluation that shows the intercept is highly factual
A choice created by people who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries.
Buddy, your opinion on me and my intelligence is irrelevant. You understand that right? Thinking that you have any business sharing that opinion is what's childish.
If you want to be an adult then the adult conversation to have with yourself is to realize your preferred candidate either needs my vote and so your best option to get it is to join me in my efforts to affect a policy or your preferred candidate doesn't need my vote. I recognize the choice before me and have made mine. Now it's your turn to do the same.
You live in make believe world where you think your ideas change reality. Tell me how abstaining and allowing Trump to get elected, makes your life better? Fuck all the other people you're fucking over, literally killing, in some cases. YOU. WHAT DO YOU GAIN FROM A TRUMP PRESIDENCY IN JAN?
abstaining from voting for genocidal geriatrics is doing the right thing. it's an end in itself.
So the 66% of the population who don't vote for no particular reason at all are, "doing the right thing."
What boils my blood is that everyone kinda accepted right's reaction to the president. For them it's all about theatrics and how much of a frenzy the president can whip with a twitter account, and nobody cares about policies. Biden's administration is incredibly effective, they appoint people when they needed, they organise commissions when appropriate, they propose and support bills and legislations, you know, all the things that presidential administration is suppose to do, and apart from knee-jerk reaction on Israel issue, they were on the right side every time, and they fixed a lot of damage that previous guy made.
But Biden isn't a wanabe dictator that tries to rule around checks and balances to achieve loud social media headlines, so everyone calls him president asleep and waits for Trump but good (and I can't stress enough how bad that would be actually)
We know this. We know you are happy with Biden. Goodie for you.
We are not. Are you going to listen to us or just keep telling us how happy you are with the guy you voted for in the 2020 primaries?
Nothing the person you replied to said indicates they're happy with the Democrats. They just say that there is a lot to lose if the Homicidal Culture War Party takes office again.
Yes they did. Right here.
I see you all have resorted to shameless gaslighting.
Efficiency isn't good if you don't agree with everything someone does but I see why you interpret it like that.
Ah, I see, you just don't know what some words mean.
"Effective" doesn't mean "I very much like that". I was specifically opposing the narrative that Biden's administration doesn't do anything, you know, "sleepy Joe" propaganda point. Actually, they do a lot of things, they just don't advertise it to a general public very well.
I also never thought that Biden will try to do something that he wasn't trying to do ever, so him not implementing single payer healthcare plan, for example, isn't a testament to his effectiveness, but his political values.
Unfortunately many of my peers are saying they're going to abstain from the general or vote third party. I'm worried people would rather end democracy than hold their nose and vote for Biden.
Good. Get more worried. Biden will lose if he continues this Genocide.
Last election he barely won while everyone was dunking on Trump. He will never win while the left is actively fighting against Biden instead of Trump.
If Democracy is Genocide or Genocide it's already dead
I'm definitely an anything but Trump voter. Biden will have my vote since nobody else stands a chance.
