Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). 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. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Bernie has massive balls here and he's jewish himself. Call them like they are, Bernie! We should've had you in 2016 and 2020!

Fuck that, he was silent while the actual journalists reporting in Gaza were slaughtered

I can find an article from every month since Hamas attacked where he calls for a ceasefire, investigation into atrocities, or an end to Israeli funding.

“Silent”

Your name is Ivan, isn't it?

Buddy, lemme tell you something, if you know anything about politicians and how they get their news. It's a lot slower than you realize.

Biden knows what's going on ahead of time because his attention is there. Bernie might've been getting this as hand-down info for all we know. Plus, he's probably gathering up quite a stockpile of claims backed by facts to use against Israel.

You don't think, do you? Idiot.

It’s a deluge of the commenters who totally aren’t russian shills but just coincidentally happen to be spreading the same messages (don’t vote! Both sides bad!) in the run up to a presidential election. It’s just the darndest coincidence.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (3 children)

(disclaimer: I am a leftist and voting for Biden despite his policies)

It’s just the darndest coincidence.

It's not. Go talk to your coworkers, neighbors, or fellow students. It doesn't matter how they're going to vote, most of them are like "BOTH SIDES ARE BAD!!!! But I'm voting for [asdf] because [qwerty]" or they use it as an excuse as to why they aren't going to bother voting. It's very American.

Source: (Turd Sandwich / Giant douche)[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7pfsneLSSM] episode of South Park aired in 2004 (FUCK! that's 20 years ago). I was there. Everyone was like "HAHA SAME. That's why I'm completely checked out. I'm so fucking smart."

Listen, I'm typing this up because this sort of absolutist rhetoric is just fostering online division and you've gotten a lot of upvotes for it. Yes there are Russian shills (especially on Lemmy). But this is a very common opinion, and pretending it's not isn't serving anyone or fixing a problem. Calling people you don't know and can't know Russian shills is just name calling.

Yea, Bernie just kicked off an investigation against Novo Nordisk regarding price inflations on medication (over $1000) when it costs ~$300 in Canada and Europe (I'm fudging the figures cause I cant remember). The man's only got so much time in the day

325 comments in 2 Months, mostly negative ratio, no profile pic.

They won’t, because they know if they do Israel will bomb them like they do other journalists and aid workers.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure they actually can't at all. Israel bars foreign journalists from entering Gaza.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

Traditional move of someone completely innocent and not trying to hide anything

Damn shame Bernie is not younger, because he would stomp on all the candidates and especially Putin's Fucking Sock Puppet.

Why are we linking to Reddit?!

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago (2 children)

With how Israel has been killing journalists, this is not going to happen. Those mainstream media, that support Israel, know well enough what is happening. It's not like they actually believe their own lies.

Mainstream media: "We would but we cut our foreign correspondent budget to pad our profit margins"

You spelled Sanders wrong. It's in the headline, how do you even do that? And why are you posting reddit links here?

Bernie appropriately giving the anti genocide slogan to throw at media everywhere.

"Go to gaza" "Point your cameras at the children Netanyahu is killing and ask them if they condemn hamas."

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (10 children)

Just run Bernie. Biden has blown it and doesn't have a shot any longer. Only you can do this.

Why would for-profit media companies do something like that? It's dangerous, expensive and brings in less money than clickbait about celebrities.
