Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Continuing to never hold Democrats accountable for their terrible decisions will surely improve the party this time, I suppose.

We are fighting literal fascists. Do you really think blaming the non-fascists will prevent these dishonest actors from doing their worst to ruin your life? It is by far the stupidest and most unhelpful position to blame the failings of the democratic position for the rise of the autocrats, when the latter are actively working to get into power.

Does an ethnostate that is carrying out a genocide as part of its program of ethnic cleansing count as fascism? Now what do you call people who supply that ethnostate with billions in weapons?

Well all I know is that now we're going full-throttle on not one but 2 genocides, including the one in Ukraine with even less of a chance to dissuade this administration than the previous on either so... Overall I'd call them, better.

That is so low of a bar to clear that it's not noteworthy at all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I think it's a pretty high bar to say that 2 genocides > 1 genocide and Option 2 was more persuadable than Option 1.

But I'll be sure to relay to Ukrainians that you believe, by extension, that they're not noteworthy at all.

Ukraine was never actually going to be granted membership into NATO, there is a reason for that. They're being used as pawns. It's not me who thinks of them as not noteworthy, but nice try with the guilt tripping, it won't work on me.

Hahaha ladies and gentlemen, bystander audience... There it is. My case in point.

Checkmate.

Slava Ukraini!

I haven’t seen any evidence of the DNC fighting fascists at all.

The ability for those on the left to eat each other up never disappoints.

The punishment of the Democrats by electing Trump will surely improve the plight of Palestinians this time, I suppose.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I dont think you should blame democratic voters for the DNC leaders ignoring them and doing whatever donors pay them to do.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Neat.

Now Donald Trump will handle things. Surely, the plight of Palestinians will improve, now that the nasty democrats have been punished.
