Many voters believe, with good reason, that none of this would have happened without Biden’s assent.

Y’all keep acting like we don’t end up with plenty of dead kids anyway.
Pretty sure child mortality's never been lower.
Fuck this country, I’m done.
Where you headed? Living somewhere else might might help you appreciate what we have, even though there's always room for improvement things are pretty damn good here.

Trump is undoubtedly bad for the US, like a brexit that only lasts 4 years, (hopefully.) He destroys our international credibility and will leave an indelible scar on our international relationships.
However, this statement doesn't make sense:
I like Trump, Biden's gonna support Israel and all sorts of other enemies to us and so fuck him, we like Trump.
Trump will give Israel a blank check, and he'll probably want to push the missile launch buttons himself if given the opportunity. He even recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Both systems are violent authoritarian dictatorships with a veneer of economic systems on top. Putin was a cold warrior and he still has cold war ambitions.
I suspect it all goes back to when Russia hacked Republican email servers and didn't release them like they did the Democrat ones, likely lots of good kompromat in there
Sadly, I suspect it's because the people who lived through fascism in the 1930s and '40s are now passing away. I sincerely hope this is not a lesson we have to learn over and over again.
Being old is not necessarily a negative. In this race, there is a big population bubble that tends to elect people their age who further their interests.

Sadly, it's a worse echo chamber. In my experience mods are far more likely to wield power like little dictators and ban for good faith dissent, as there's no governing body above them to prevent this. I've been banned for being pro-Israel by several such petty tyrants.
Upvotes and downvotes are generally per-server though. It's interesting to see how posts and submissions are regarded on other instances.

If you're going to define your movement as anti-genocidal you should really have a firm grasp on what genocide is and who is committing it:
Article II of the Convention defines genocide as:
... any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Hamas, what Israel has been clear they intend to destroy, is not a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. However, Jews/Israel/Israelis, what Hamas has been clear they intend to destroy, are. Therefore, legally Oct 7 was an act of genocide, and Israel's war on Hamas is not. Such a designation has nothing to do with body count.
I support Israel because I oppose the genocidal. Binding their hands and preventing them from retaliating in self-defense only serves to support genocidal Hamas by keeping them in power.
It's almost as if words mean things and have specific definitions, especially legal ones. Feel free to criticize such behaviors with different accurate words for things you don't like.
Navi Pillay (South Africa), serves as chair, Miloon Kothari (India) and Chris Sidoti (Australia) serve as members of the commission
Many more opposed their methods and conclusions:
June 2023, United States and Israel joined 25 countries in condemning the open-ended nature of the UN investigation and "the long-standing disproportionate attention given to Israel in the council."
Oct 7 literally is an act of genocide, see my post above. You're saying they don't have credibility because you don't understand what genocide is. This designation has nothing to do with body count.
Netanyahu gone sounds like a very good idea. I hope Israel is able to make that happen. Speaking of the carrot and the stick, Netanyahu is the stick. Hopefully whoever replaces him is the carrot, and can make some diplomatic progress towards peace.
Is giving Israel more fucking weapons to kill children “diplomacy”?
You can't defend yourselves, children and collateral damage exist! Just let them genocide you this one time without eliminating the threat, as a nice little treat for Hamas.
Classic queermunist.
Supporting our allies in a time of crisis until the threat is eliminated is the right thing to do.
Although I'm very impressed by the results that LLMs have been producing, as long as it is probabilistic there's a lot of tasks it will be unsuitable for. For anything critical it needs to be right all the time and hallucinations and model collapse are not acceptable. However, I can totally see it being the natural language interface that then gets handed off to non-probabilistic endpoints.
