Someone please bribe the Supreme Court with a free ocean submersible ride

Where do you get the impression that I am “telling people to not to vote against fascism”? How is my criticism of Biden different from yours?

Bonus points if you can answer this question without using your smarmy, inaccurate insults.

So accurate criticism of Biden is now “risking a Trump presidency”? You’re suggesting that I should stop talking about an ongoing genocide?

And by criticizing Biden’s genocidal actions, this makes me a centrist, a liberal, and even worse, a DNC believer? I am so confused.

Its fascinating how you bluemaga people can claim to be the defenders of democracy and free speech, yet your words betray the fact that you hate both concepts.

Did you respond to the wrong comment? I’m confused.

They will take money and weapons from other nations who want their influence in the middle east and the only thing that will change is the US losing that influence.

If the US stops supporting Israel, which other nation will step in and send them 1500lb bombs, highly advanced targeting systems, tens of thousands of artillery shells (theres a worldwide shortage), propelling charges for howitzers, hellfire missiles, disposable shoulder fired rockets, and a plethora of small arms? Be specific.

There are only 4 or 5 nations with the ability to supply the weaponry that Israel needs. China and Russia have been opposed to the genocide since the beginning, so unless they take a dramatic self-destructive turn, this only leaves western nations. Do you think Germany, Japan, or South Korea would defy the US in order to support Israel?

That phone call already happened. It was international news.

Can you provide a source for this?

The only story I’m aware of is how Biden’s aides have been leaking how hes having confrontational phone calls with Netanyahu. This is obvious spin in order to placate the anti-genocide sentiment in this country. If you actually believe this narrative then you are the woefully naive one.

Reagan called up Israel one night and told them to stop their assault on Lebanon. Israel stopped in less than 24 hours.

HW Bush called up Israel and ended that conflict overnight.

What makes you think Biden does not have the same power?

And if a phone call doesn’t work, he could stop sending bombs. He could stop providing political cover. Instead of handing Israel billions of taxpayer dollars, he could impose economic sanctions like we did to Russia.

Joe Biden could turn Israel into a militarily vulnerable pariah state. What makes you think that this isn’t enough leverage to end the genocide?

Yes it was a joke, but no I wasnt “just kidding”

Joe Biden is aiding and abetting a genocide.

You’re right, it’s not all Bidens fault. There are many evil actors in this conflict. But that doesn’t mean Bidens hands are clean.

Hes the one supplying all the bombs, going so far as to hide humanitarian reports and circumventing US law so the munitions can keep flowing.

Hes the leader of the nation which is vetoing UN peace agreements.

He is spreading pro-genocide propaganda. Remember when he went on live television to address the nation and said that he saw pictures of 40 beheaded babies? What a horrific thing to lie about.

If the Nuremburg laws would apply to US presidents, then each one of these actions would be legal grounds to convict Joe Biden for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

You are acting like my joke comment on a Lemmy meme is going to sway the election lol

Look I get it, you will support Biden until he loses, then you will blame people like me for his loss. It’s a comfy position to hold, you never have to examine your own positions- just blame others.

We both agree Trump is horrible. You dont have to remind me. My beloved grandmother, the best person in my life, died of covid during the Trump presidency. I will never forgive him, and I certainly will never vote for him.

But just because I fucking hate Trump doesn’t mean I’m going to deny reality. Actual people die because of Trumps policies, that we agree on. But Gazans are actual people too, and you seem to be denying that.

Not everything is about defeating Trump. Some of us have a moral compass.

For example, I will not ignore, deny, or downplay an ongoing genocide just because it would suit my presidential preference.

Additionally, now is the best time to attack Biden, because he is a huge underdog after his horrific debate performance. Attacking Biden is pushing the DNC to change candidates before it’s too late. Supporting Biden at this juncture is just helping to elect President Trump.

Oh I got another one.

Biden is crushing it, and by “it” I mean my hope that Trump will be a one-term president.

The only thing Biden is “crushing” is thousands of Palestinian civilians under the rubble of their former homes.

If we “all agree” and do a moonshot construction plan we could have electricity in 8 years. This is a fantasy, tho.

Best case scenario in the real world is operational in 12 years.

In the capitalist hellscape here in the US, a reasonable expectation would be 18-20 years.

20 years also happens to be the lifespan of our wind turbines. In 20 years, all of the currently running wind turbine blades will be in a landfill and new ones will need to be manufactured to replace them.

No reasonable person is suggesting nuclear as a short-term option. It’s a long term investment.

Are solar and wind really “clean” energy? Everyone in this thread seems to ignore the costs of these methods.

Every modern wind turbine requires 60 gallons of highly synthetic oil to function, and it needs to be changed every 6 months. That’s a lot of fossil fuel use.

Lithium mining for batteries is extremely destructive to the environment.

Production of solar panels burns lots of fuel and produces many heavy metals. Just like with nuclear waste, improper disposal of these toxic elements can be devastating to the environment.

Of course, solar and wind are a big improvement over coal and natural gas. I dont want the perfect to be the enemy of the good, I just want to be realistic about the downfalls of these methods.

I believe, with our current technology, that nuclear is our cleanest and greenest option.

Accurate representation of US veterans.

But that explanation is lost to time.

One translation I read suggested a probable explanation.

Rasputin’s phone advice was the same as many modern quacks: keep the patient away from modern medicine and doctors.

So the hemophiliac prince was no longer given his normal cocktail of drugs, which probably included a new medicine for the time: aspirin.

Stop giving a blood thinner to a hemophiliac and his condition (temporarily) improved. The best explanation for the people at the time was “magic”.

I’m sure the Biblical Womanhood Council has lively debates on the subject.

“The female orgasm is a myth” vs “The female orgasm is a sin”

Alright most of this slang is overused and a bit outdated but wtf is “jitz”?

What does jitz mean in slang? Noun. jit (plural jits) (US, originally prison slang, derogatory) An inexperienced, foolhardy young man.

bruh.

The world finding another oil and gas reserve is like an alcoholic finding a secret door to a fully stocked bar.

We’re probably going to drink ourselves to death.

One of the major issues in this case is that Obama set a precedent when he assassinated 16 year old American citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki without a trial.

The reality is that the Democrats go low, and Republicans use that as a new standard to go even lower.
