      That’s not a conspiracy theory.

        i fucking hate this. i’ve not so lucidly clicked the idea together before that world leaders would and have prolonged conflict, suffering and death abroad for meager and ephemeral political points back home. what a disaster we are as a species.

        Consisparcy theroy is honestly a meaningless term these days. Like legitimate historical facts are grouped in with deranged rants. But with so much misinformation, propaganda and biased reporting its understandable. I don’t really have a point or suggestion, just lamenting how it can mean everything or nothing.

      He’ll literally never condem Israel’s actions.

      Biden has spent literally half a century saying that nothing Israel ever does would make him support them less.

      And he’s not changing something like that at 81 years old

      Once again, it has to be said that Trump is much worse. Anyone who single-issue votes purely on Gaza is an idiot and part of the problem with this country.

        People withholding their vote from a bad candidate. Yeah…THAT’S the problem with the US😂.

        I mean, if there were a single issue to decide a vote, seems like entheusiastic genocide support would be high up there. But what do I know…

        Maybe I am an idiot who thinks that democracy means that the government represents the people. If the 2 historical gangs no longer represent the people then vote for another party or entity that does.

        Why are you afraid of trying what democracy meant to be?

          Democracy didn’t fail us, corporate media fucked us.

          A very large portion of what any of us know about a given politician or policy is from corporate media and they absofuckinglutley have a desired outcome even if it’s as simple as using misleading ragebait just to get views. It leaves us less capable of making good decisions.

          Yeah nothing you said there made any sense and Trump will offer to have the 6th fleet glass Gaza on his 3rd day in office, but you said it with absolute conviction so you must be right .

                Im speaking materially. The US is no longer funding Ukraine. If words from Biden were enough, they wouldn’t have just lost a city to Russian presence, but they did.

      If the US completely cut off aid to Israel it would make 0 difference. We should cut them off foreign aid since they don’t need it, as they are definitely a rich country, but they have tons of money and even if they didn’t the current leadership in Israel would spend whatever they had. I don’t think that anything short of a hostile invasion will get Israel to stop but I’d love to be wrong.

      With that being said Congress - not the president - allocates this money. Look at how many votes Bernie’s bill to attempt to put restrictions on that aid got, neither party is going to do more than agitate people online about it.

    By the time the next president is sworn into office, I feel like the genocide will be over, considering they are targeting Rafah which is quite literally the last stand for Gazans since they are backed up to the wall against Egypt’s border.

    There’s no way Biden is winning this election on “not Trump”

    God I wanted this to be fake so badly. NBC certainly doesn’t make corroboration easy to find either. But at the end of their Ukraine segment on February 17th (18th?) they confirm it right before transitioning to the next segment. Talk about trying to bury the story.

                  That is not how the world works. Unless by this logic you also consider it to steal from me, by not giving to me, in which case you could stop stealing 10.000 $ from me by sending them to me.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
