In 2038+ when they are the ex Republicans and Democrats have “compromised” their way to the current Republican parties position, they’ll be there.

They’re just supporting the same right wing Republican policies they have supported all along, the Dems just represent that viewpoint now.
Because it’s one of the few issues that the Democratic party and Republican party both tout as a problem.

How many users does IG have that are registered as under 18?
I’m 25 now, but I still always say I was born in the 80s out of habit…
It’s a good step, but it won’t fix things.
I used to find it utterly hilarious before I switched to Lemmy, how redditorshated twitterx and twitterx users, then would praise reddit and the reddit community lmfao.

Edit: This is genocide apologia/victim blaming.
Gaza resistance isn’t to blame for Israels being a genocidal apartheid towards Gaza, and doubly so for the seperate region of the West Bank which Hamas doesn’t even control.
What happened on Oct-7?
61·5 days agoImo It would be hilarious and not confusing if you just used a cutout of the real ron Swanson mustache.
Idk how legal that would be or other solutions around said potential legality though.
Oh no, the Hitler particles have crossed the human toaster barrier.
He was similarly just an online personality (YouTuber, funny commentary)just like Drew Gooden, until recently it was revealed he hooked up with a minor, knowing they were a minor (like 9 years ago or so)
It’s funny because a couple months ago someone would have left a similar comment as you about him being included, but now he belongs with those other “evil” people.

Analysis / Bias
Headlines and articles use moderately loaded language like this: NFL Freezes Policy Barring Players From Kneeling During Anthem. This particular story is republished from the conspiracy website ZeroHedge. Typically, Mint Press sources their information, but sometimes it is from Mixed factual or conspiracy websites. In general, story selection moderately favors the left, such as this Trump Administration Opens Door for Corporate Attack on Vulnerable Wildlife.
Okay? Neither of those articles are untrustworthy or wrong…
Mint Press News primarily focuses on stories about the middle east, Iran, Syria, and Israel. Most stories are negative when covering Israel, such as this CHRIS HEDGES: ISRAEL AND THE RISE OF JEWISH FASCISM.
Almost like Israel is a genocidal apartheid state and most coverage of them should be negative, that’s not bias. It just shows MBFCs bias…
Politically, Mint Press News aligns with the far-left and frequently reports negatively on establishment Democrats like this WHO IS BIDEN WORKING FOR? ON ISRAEL VISIT, “ZIONIST” BIDEN WHITEWASHES ISRAEL’S CRIMES and conservative such as this EMBOLDENED BY TRUMP AND NETANYAHU, JEWISH SETTLER TERRORISM IS SPIKING. Finally, according to the Rutgers University Network Contagion Research Institute, Mint Press “promotes anti-Jewish conspiracy theories.”
Almost like Israel is a genocidal apartheid state and most coverage of them and “establishment Democrats” and “conservative” who defend/support them will be “biased” against them, unless you agree with said genocidal apartheid…

Failed Fact Checks
Millions of Muslims protested against the Islamic State in November 2016, but a “media blackout” prevented people from hearing about the event. – Mostly False
Let’s see how “false” this is and how ruined their credibility should be because of it…
Although the original article was published under a misleading clickbait title, it was at least based on a real event: millions of Shia Muslims did embark on a pilgrimage in November 2016 to visit the shrine of Imam Hussein in Karbala, Iraq. This pilgrimate is an annual undertaking for Arbaeen, which marks the end of forty days of mourning of the martyrdom of Hussein:
The pilgrimage was reported (as it is every year) by multiple mainstream news outlets. While it is a religious event and not specifically a political one, some news outlets reported that the annual pilgrimage has taken on a defiant tone as attacks from the Islamic State have plagued the area
So it was millions of people gathering in a defiant tone against the Islamic state…it’s just false because “some news outlets” reported it as such so there was no “media blackout”…
No single source or site is perfect. MBFC is just as biased and shouldn’t be used to dismiss an entire source of information because they say they are biased.
NOTE: This is less a defense of mintpres news (they do get a little crazy) and more a statement against the use of MBFC and similar as a crutch.
The fact Cody Ko fits both 💀
No. I’m saying that’s how they justify it.
Edit: it seems most people think I ment this was a good thing? No, America isn’t inherently good.
This statement shows how America supports the genocide because America would be willing to do similar slaughter if an attack happened to us (look at our post 9/11 actions for an example of the destruction we are willing to cause). It also shows how she not only recognizes but supports this view.
Do you think America wouldn’t do the same though?
Edit: I never said it was a good thing, just that she said the quiet part out loud.
She literally clarified that she was going to provide weapons for defense from Iran and its puppets,
Yeah, so who are “Iran and it’s puppets”?
- THE VICE PRESIDENT: Okay. So, I just had a frank and constructive meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I told him that I will always ensure that Israel is able to defend itself, including from Iran and Iran-backed militias, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
July 25, after a meeting with Netanyahu
Who is fighting to stop the Israeli genocide?..
So she clarified that she’s not pro Genocide, she will just support Israels “right to defend” itself from those who actually oppose their genocide.
The rest is empty words and doublespeak. She supports Israels war against Hamas and continued funding of their genocidal apartheid state while they genocide Palestinians.
If she really wanted a ceasefire she would vow to end support if they didn’t cease fire, not keep giving them whatever they want and asking nicely that they stop
I think this quote from Harris in the debate sums up the American support for the genocide. You can’t except the former colonial genocidal regime to oppose the new one they propped up.
And so absolutely, I said then, I say now, Israel has a right to defend itself. We would.

The alternative is to let certain countries de facto claim a region because others are too afraid to call them on their BS
Who is de facto claiming land? Taiwan has always been a part of China. KMT fled there after losing the civil war and claimed their occupation was rightful rule.
January 1, 1979.
The United States of America recognizes the Government of the People’s Republic of China as the sole legal Government of China. Within this context, the people of the United States will maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan.
The Government of the United States of America acknowledges the Chinese position that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China.
We do not undertake this important step for transient tactical or expedient reasons. In recognizing the People’s Republic of China, that it is the single Government of China, we are recognizing simple reality. But far more is involved in this decision than just the recognition of a fact.

The United States approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations. The United States has a longstanding one China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.-China Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances. We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means.
Exactly, so we should stop pointing those guns at China and admit that the corner is part of their house, right?
Tell that to the immigrants the Dems keep fearmongering about.
How is this not complete “they’re bringing drugs over our border, some I assume are very fine people” rhetoric? But it’s worse, because now this is the position of the “leftist” party.
When the “leftist” party is right wing on immigration, the right has to seperate themselves somehow, so now the ratchet clicked and Trump’s calling for pogroms.
The Republican party of yesterday was the Republicans of yesterday who are now endorsing the Democrats, because the Democrats best represent their ideology, otherwise they would be endorsing someone else.
Argue it all you want, they aren’t secret leftist heroes.
