Kbin/Mbin (and possibly others?) definitely have the edge here since those platforms make votes public (only admins can see them on Lemmy). So, if you want to confirm what I’m saying here, go view some of these posts from Kbin/Mbin.

Every time one of the “usual suspects” says stuff like this in the comments, there will later be posts detailing how Biden is doing (or at least earnestly trying to do) exactly the things they’re saying he needs to be doing (oR ElSe i WiLl noT voTE anD NEithER ShoULD yoU!!!11!!). 100% of the time, those posts are downvoted by these same “usual suspect” accounts.

What gives? They have very strong opinions about how he should run his administration, so you’d think they’d appreciate him doing what they’ve been so helpfully suggesting. Unless…it was never about the issues at all.

That thin veneer of concern they’re hiding behind is not as thick as they think it is and is quite easy to see through. Now you know where to look.

Edit: Please don’t name and shame any specific users. That may violate the community or LW rules. We all know who most of the “usual suspects” are.

    Democrats decided genocide was okay

    Okay, now you’re just making things up.

      Gaza is right there and Biden just released the bombs he’s been holding back from Israel. A withholding that is proof on its own that Israel was committing war crimes with them. His own announcement on the matter said it was because large bombs cause too many civilian casualties in urban areas. Which is a specific war crime being referred to as obliquely as possible.

      Then you have the Israeli government outright saying they want to clear the Palestinians out and sell the land. Which is ethnic cleansing.

      And the man made famine.

      How much more evidence do you need?

        None of that has anything to do with what I said.

        Just because Biden did/said something that doesn’t mean all Democrats feel the same way. You said Democrats decided that genocide was okay and I know that you know that is not true. You’re either being hyperbolic or are intentionally lying.

        I’m a Democrat and I definitely did not decide that genocide is okay, and I know a lot of other Democrats that feel the same way.

          Are you voting for the guy who knows he’s giving weapons to a genocidal regime?

          Are you supporting the party that’s arresting and charging peaceful protestors?

          As I told someone else, this is a group project. You get the same grade as the rest of us.
