Instead of an occasional terror bombing on refugee camps Israel now directly assassinates Palestinians while they are out in the open after evacuating. In the areas they are telling them to go.
What started as indiscriminate bombing has turned into Israel using “safe zones” as a trap.
I agree with all the other reasons this is fucked, but let’s all step back and have a shudder about this:
In 2015, after Holman’s death, authorities searched his house to find gold horseshoe-shaped earrings in a closet, which Jeschke’s father said he had given his daughter.
If dude had just thrown those earrings away she’d have had no hope of ever being released.
I will have you know that both of my dogs are very naughty and I tell them that regularly. Usually right before giving them treats or rubbing their bellies.
I also let them know that they don’t deserve it because of how naughty they are.
“Tired old man does things any human would do if they were tired, is he fit for office? Never mind all the gaffs that previous republican presidents have said or done, including the other guy, who said let’s inject sunlight directly into the veins, or more recently went on an incoherent rant in the middle of a rally about airports, and is also a convicted felon and rapist. Let’s focus on word fumbles”
I mean, if you’re getting the microscope out to dissect this candidate, might as throw the other one on there as well. But then the press wouldn’t be fair and honest to their god king and overlord, his holy orangness of poo.
Tired old man does things any human would do if they were tired, is he fit for office?
Unfortunately, the fact that Dem Congresscritters have spoken up publicly asking him to step down means that:
Private channels are exhausted
Things are royally fucked.
Regardless of whether or not he is fit for office, those who are most dependent on a Dem ticket victory no longer have confidence in his ability to deliver it. That alone would be fatal. We need to get Biden to step down.
My whole point is the press is failing at being non-bias, otherwise they would mention all the atrocious things being said by the other guy that should be making people ask for him to step down. Our press is failing us, failing at reporting fairly and unbiasedly(if that’s even a word)
The news I read and what you read must be wildly different. I see a lot of articles about how unfit Biden is, how everyone is telling him to step down. I’m not arguing one side or another, just that I see attack articles against one side more than the other, and I see that as being biased when both side are equally open to be attacked.
The press has repeatedly attacked Biden for everything they possibly can. Remember when he tripped on a sandbag? A thing that could happen to literally anybody?
Alright, I guess. If you would prefer to ignore an argument because you find one of the terms risible, that’s up to you. The rest of us? We’re going to be trying to deal with this shit and prevent fascism. You’re welcome to join anytime.
Self defeating language is self defeating. I too want to deal with this shit, hence not using kid language. Congresscritters implies a type of benign neglect in politics, like business as usual… it implies a lazy take and it ignores the actual malice present and gives a veneer of “just politics” happening.
Yes, opposition to fascists - the Republican Party - is important, and it would be wonderful if people would join in the effort to defeat them.
What ARE you talking about?
… that sitting Dem Congressmembers have called on Biden to step down for the good of the party, and that a loss of faith that serious by the party would be an incredible millstone around the campaign’s neck even if Biden was completely, 100% fine, and it was all media spin. And that, furthermore, as those Congressmembers are self-interested in having a Democratic president win at all costs, and better placed than most to read the electorate, and have personal exposure to Biden and thus a better view than most as to whether he is up to the task of a presidential campaign, their opinions are not minor; in fact, they are very major and troubling enough that it should absolutely give you pause as to whether Biden continuing his campaign is a good idea.
It’s really hit critical mass no? The fucked up part is the political calculus vs the political reality… polling has shown that dem sentiment is under represented, typical off cycle elections have swung wildly left counter to polling… we don’t really know what the “polls” show. So what’s left is rhetoric and reasoning.
Yeah. Regardless of the reality of the situation, it’s increasingly becoming politically untenable for Biden to continue. Perceptions are as important as reality in an election, unfortunately.
I did watch, it was painful. Just as painful as watching the other guy who should also step down due the failing mental facilities. Yet no mention of how the other side is failing in the press. My point being the press is biased, and it’s getting worse everyday.
You’re right, my generalization of the news we read is unfair, this article is at fault. A long time ago, reading newspapers, an article about a political candidate would normally have info on both candidates, showing contrast or similarities. I do not read many articles like that anymore, in this polarizing, “your on my team or against me” world. Equal representation and reporting time of the politicians under scrutiny is all I’m looking for.
As for your last question of why Biden supporters sound like Trump, I have no idea what you are talking about.

They’re calling anyone not 100% loyal to Biden as a person republicans…
Have been for a while now
Used to just be voters, but they’re saying it about NYT, Clooney, Dem politicians, literally anyone thats not 100% for Biden is no longer a Dem in their eyes.
You don’t see how that would make someone think of trumpets?
Well, that’s not me, and that’s not my issue with this article. You should not pledge fealty to anyone, let alone a political candidate. But if you are going to write an article about a reason one candidate is unfit, you should contrast/compare the other candidates in that article as well, for good or bad.
It’s about information. Giving people information is never a waste of time, they can do what they want with it. Who am I or you to say what will sway a voter? Are all these articles and rich actors talking about Biden going to change anything? Again, it’s not on you or I what people do with the information. Unbiased information is all I’m asking for. Not this “you’re with us or against us” bullshit.
Yes, we are fighting disinformation campaigns funded by foreign governments, we need true, unbiased, transparent, both sides compared/contrasted reporting as much as possible to fight it. Everyone needs to be reminded why we vote, at every election, not just the big ones, and this election is a shining example of why.
Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it… telling only one side in a story is not an accurate representation of history.
So everytime someone talks about Biden, they also have to talk about trump?
What about 3rd party? Do we have to talk about them too?
What about other options? Should we talk about the next best option for every party? Why just them? Why not the top 10 potential replacements for each party? Top 100?
Why aren’t we talking about the domestic price of mangos on Tuesdays?
telling only one side in a story is not an accurate representation of history.
Insisting every time someone mentions Biden they also talk about trump just doesn’t make any sense.
If that’s honestly what you believe, then you’re never going to accomplish anything. Everytime you’re a part of a conversation you’re just going to detract from the conversation.
I’m not playing whataboutism games. I am talking about in the context of a political article, during an election cycle, about the politicians involved.
Interestingly enough, in your comment, you do what I am being accused of, therefore eliminating the argumentative ground you stand on. If this is what you are about, we are done here.

Your response to an article about Biden, was “what about trump tho?”
And I had subsequent comments, in this thread even, that narrowed the scopes of my statements to political articles about political candidates during an election cycle. Do I need to go quote them for you?
Why does Biden and his supporters sound more and more like trump every fucking day?
That part. That's what broke me. Ffs, if you must go militant, do it for the most good of most people who are also tired, without access to good food, health care at all, in most cases, and stable housing, not for less than the crumbs they used to throw us, when they actually saw us as a threat* to their very entrenched power. Make then earn the votes they seem to think they are entitled to, like they claim we think we are entitled to living wages, single payer, clean water, nutritious, decent food, clean air, homes, health care, time for adequate rest, recreation and taking care of personal responsibilities. Joe needs an 8 pm bedtime while most of us are running on empty, in every way.
