Did Biden put the rules back in place?

Weve reached agreement

Refusing to vote for Harris and actually voting for Trump are 2 different things, I know you can make the argument that both lead to the same outcome but they are 2 different choices

It needs to be thrown out and restarted from scratch. The status quo is not good, it is very bad and I'm suspicious of anyone who defends it

Genocide of the canaanites is definitely in the Bible but possibly/probably didn't happen as much as the Bible says. I'm sure there were times when whole cities were put to the sword but a lot of the stories in the Bible seem more like they were made up later as a way of claiming racial purity. It made it so the Hebrews could say "there's no way we're mixed with canaanites cuz we killed all the canaanites"

They did before Europeans took over the area post ww1

In politics the rich absolutely decide what our "viable" options are. Campaigns take a lot of money and politicians spend most of their time on the phone with rich people making promises in exchange for money.

It is possible for the poor to overcome them but that takes a huge amount of cooperation and coordination. The rich do whatever they can to keep the poor from reaching this level of cooperation. Its not impossible but the scales have been tipped a long ways in the direction of the rich. I'm not interested in giving up I'm just saying they have almost all the power therefore they bear almost all of the responsibility for the way things are

Yes the people choose but the wealthy decide what our options are

We do it to ourselves.

No, the rich do this to the rest of us. Extremely wealthy people are the enemy of society they will destroy everything to earn a few more bucks

The Green Party thanks Lemmy for all the publicity it has given to the Jill Stein campaign

Netanyahu is campaigning for Trump. Coming out against a foreign pm because that pm is helping your election competitor shouldn't be that difficult to pull off.
