Reuters vs Aljazeera… I wonder which is the more believable news source, particularly with regards to Israel events.
edit: Without getting into the weeds Liberalism and Left/Right are usually considered separate spectrums and the definition varies wildly depending on where you’re from.
I wrote in “Gaza” on the primary, but come november I am 100% sure that I’m gonna be voting D as hard as I can because my partner is trans and I’d rather not be driven from the country by transphobia, thanks.
Criticising the democrats for when they’re not good is absolutely valid, but at the same time, get out and vote for them and mobilize as many voters for them as you can, because the difference in outcome between the two parties with legitimate chances of winning is too great to throw away your votes protesting the lesser of two evils. By all means, keep protesting (In other ways, besides the ballot box), but also do your part to make sure that we get the lesser of two evils, not the greater.
Violence against trans individuals has increased under Biden. That isn’t because Biden is “tougher on trans issues,” it’s because the DNC is doing absolutely nothing to prevent the root cause of fascism from rising, which is decaying Capitalism.
Vote for whoever you want, but if you want to protect your partner, you’ll likely get best results by living in a blue area of a blue state, regardless of who is in the federal office.
What do you believe to be the cause of fascism, the declining material conditions of Capitalism, or the spread of dangerous ideas?
In my opinion, the latter is only possible if the former is already true. Historically, fascism has been an attempt by the Bourgeoisie and Petite Bourgeoisie to ally and “turn the clock back” to the “good old days.” It’s why we see so many small business owners riding the Tesla Train, and why Musk has been supporting fascists on X like EndWokeness and LibsOfTikTok. This extreme nationalism and hardcore embrace of “tradition” is economic in cause.
Capitalism leads to fascism or Socialism, whoever wins the struggle as it dies.
Nobody is talking about “criticizing Democrats”. We’re talking about active censorship of criticism of the Democratic party, because of their support of israel.
When you go on .world you find people not just saying what you are saying, but enthusiastically praising Biden as one of the greatest presidents of all time and lying about him standing up to israel. And that gets upvoted.
I would be interested to see, but it’s fairly obvious when you visit Lemmy.world and 80% of posts are about US Electoral Politics, and the content of these posts generally is aligned with liberalism, not leftism.
Just checked: yep, lots of posts about US politics :/ So annoying. I'm on mbin, so no way to block lemmy.world, but I do block every community/magazine dedicated to US politics.
Try saying Joe Biden is complicit in Genocide when he sends more weapons to israel, and find out how many people on .world appreciate the factually correct statement.
