Biden wants Kamala to lose.
Its not Biden. Its Bibi. He will time the Iran attack at the best point in time to affect Kamala’s results just right.
Who is Bibi?
Nickname of netanyahou
His wikipedia actually says:
I wonder if he likes the nickname or if he just has it without his consent.
He uses it, as well as his opponents. It's not a political statement one way or the other.
I don't really know much about it but a podcast I listened to a while back said that Israelis are a bit obsessed with this type of nick name.
Nah not obsessed, this is just his nickname, everyone uses it regardless if they’re for or against him. There are some more politicians with nick names. Buji for example is the president Isaac Herzog.
i wonder what the posts from .worlders are going to look after she loses.
obviously they're going to blame leftists for not voting for someone who actively refuses to adopt any the leftists platforms or ideals and i'm hoping that there will be some sort of introspection from liberals; but i suspect that the diet reddit of the lemmyverse is just going to reddit.
What's interesting is they won't blame Republicans for passing laws that will help them rig elections and they won't blame Biden for enabling Israel on its path to starting WW3. They only know how to blame the left for not being obedient.
i think it's worse than that; not only do they not blame republicans for rigging elections, but they also blame the people experiencing some of the results of that rigging (ie voter suppression) as lazy for not jumping through the intentional bureaucratic hoops designed to make them fail at all costs and then close their ears and and loudly parrot "vote blue no matter who" when confronted w evidence of the reality of voting outside of sufficiently affluent areas.
i also think biden is much worse than either liberals or leftsists give him credit for. in the past, people saw him and too coocoo conservative or populist to seriously consider his presidential runs and now he's called a progressive despite doing nothing to earn it (defense of marriage did nothing and the inflation act is being used to ramp up fossil fuel production). he was a trump like politician before trump became a politician and that had always make me suspect that biden will go along with an escalation in the middle east as is happening now.
What are you talking about? Biden has accelerated adoption of renewable energy, expanded consumer protections against banks, frozen or reduced student loan burdens, strengthened unions, helped make healthcare more accessible (including reproductive healthcare), etc. All pretty anti-conservative causes.
reality; not talking points. Here are some examples:
he's used the inflation act to ramp up fossil fuel production to highest levels ever seen in recorded history.
he literally created the student loan situation in 2005 with the student loan act; he used to brag about it.
he busted the railroad workers strike and then gave them a pittance to mitigate political blowback. he's also continued to weaken whistleblower protection as his predecessors (both trump and obama) had done.
he's reversed the expansion on medicaid and will do nothing to ensure that the affordable care act stays alive.
I clicked on their profile to see what evoked this reaction from you and not only could you not be more wrong, but it makes me question your motivation for lying to try to silence others?
I checked the profile too. Today I learned that being pro Palestine and posting food pictures is a far right government plot to make the Biden administration look bad.
I don't 100% agree with Queermunist, but I've never once gotten the whiff that she's right wing.
Don't look at the most recent post from 6 months ago. Look at the comments from 15 minutes ago.
I know how the Internet works. Sorry you think people disagreeing with you means they're a troll, super duper secret Trump supporters, and the mods everywhere are based against you in particular.
Is using homophobic insults part of your inclusivity and ways of making people like you and the policies you support?
Because I don't consider having someone using my sexuality to troll me really cool. It's not cool with MLs do it, it's not cool with Trump stans do it, and it's not cool with liberals do it.
There you go, now you're not using sexuality as an insult. Keep it up and you might get to me. I'm starting to feel that spark of your neurons and synapses go off with that one.
If it helps, I'm anarchist. I don't like the USSR or China or North Korea. Fuck every one of them. Fuck every single murder they've done in the name of their personal "freedom". I'm just not above criticizing the country I live in, as Americans policies impact me more.
It's call the 1st Amendment, something Trump fans don't understand. I'm free to call America and it's followers brainwashed morons who vote for right wing policies and act like it's good when they do it.
I'm not going to support lies about things I disagree with. Queermunist isn't right wing. She is more of a ML than I am. That doesn't make her right wing, it means she can be okay with a use of force on the people in the name of her ideology. Authoritarism can come in many flavors, but she isn't right wing.
Unless suddenly vegan food is a new right wing dog whistle, but Trump shit-for-brain weirdos don't really like the idea not not eating beef and pork.
Listen everyone knows Garbanzo Fajitas are clearly right wing!
Don't look at the most recent post from 6 months ago. Look at the comments from 15 minutes ago.
The comments criticizing the Harris campaign for adopting right wing policies?
Then you clicked the wrong profile, or didn't take an honest look into it
Starting a massively unpopular war after a year of funding a massively unpopular genocide all to keep the modern day Hitler in power is a bad idea. More practically for the US voter, gas prices are going to sky rocket and the stock market will tank, since starting a war with a potentially nuclear armed petrostate tends to cause market instability.
Also for your rant about "the far right," that person is more left wing than you, lemmy is a communist site, Harris is a center right conservative aiding fascists -- exactly like the person you might remember gave Hitler power to bridge the gap between centrists and conservatives against the left.
Are you like a crazy person
lol this reaction is actually just really funny, I'm not even mad
Now Cadeillac @lemmy.world is upset at you and others for calling out this user. I have to laugh or I'll cry at how someone can be so blinded by the Overton window and thinking "if they disagree with me at all, they're a troll and rhe mods everywhere are based against me!"
They already know how I feel about them, I've let them know myself. I don't need your help
Didn't say you did, weirdo.
Yet you ran to tattle on me like a weird little child
Okay? I'm talking to her here. I could have direct messaged her if I didn't want you to know.
In your mind a government actor would be speaking out against the government's actions? You alright?
Wait what happened? Why are you downvoted? Did anyone answer you?
Some mod is apparently power tripping, most of my comments from yesterday got removed without an explanation. Not sure why I'm being downvoted, and I didn't get an answer.
We're not allowed to call these ass holes trolls or bad faith actors because it might hurt their feelings. We just have to let them spread misinformation. The mods will tell you to report it, but they won't actually do anything about it
Yes it's a grand conspiracy against checks notes people who lie about other users.
Having comments deleted for literally calling out a users history of trolling is sus. I don't think it's a grand conspiracy, I think the mods are siding with the people trolling, which is a problem.
No one was lying
And you're getting lots of comments removed for calling every single person that disagrees with you, a "troll." lol
Lemmy's not an echo chamber. Accept it.
Except they are right about them, and you are included. Go Shill for Stein in your little communities you had to create because no one would let you spew your garbage
I didn't vote for Stein. Thanks! :)
Don't have to to shill for her. You can also be vaccinated while still being supportive of antivaxxers. This should make sense to you as a Satanic Mormon
I'm not shilling for anyone. If you are unhappy with articles that get posted, then you should take your concerns to the news orgs. I don't write the articles, friend. My post history is public: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts
Thank you! :)
I don't know what the fuck these other people are talking about. If you take more than a surface level look into their account it is so blatantly obvious they are at the very least a troll. Every time I have seen them they are trying to take votes from Kamala, which can only mean a vote for Trump
That’s not what that means. It means that people who care about genocide are imploring the American people to put pressure on their Democrat candidate to promise to pull support from Israel and their genocide, and the only effective way to do that is to tell them you won’t vote for them otherwise. Either that, or you’re just telling them you’re fine with genocide and then it happens no matter who gets in.
The constant liberal mantra of “VOTE FOR OUR GUY OR YOU’RE A TRUMP SUPPORTER” is just so fucking tiring man.
