Biden must stand up to Netanyahu. Now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku1IFIzLUls&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@rbreich Why is the default "you're not going to get more weapons" and not "make peace with your neighbors" Why are we giving weapons to Israel in the first place? Why don't you call for the sanction of Israel NOW because of the multitude of atrocities their country has committed? Israel is a genocidal state. Why would we support that? What benefit does an American get from supporting the death of the families of the Palestinians?

All lives matter. Except the lives of puppies. Or women with ectopic pregnancies. Or protesters. Or immigrants. Or people wearing masks to avoid COVID. Or poll workers. Or journalists. Or people of color expecting equal policing and justice. Or poor people in need of healthcare. Or Capitol officers.

Every election. Every race. Every Democrat. .

@augieray its easy to say vote blue when you're not the people being wiped off the planet by the blue.

@captainrob@mastodon.social avatar

@augieray , killing off thousands, happening right now and literally supported by the man you are pushing me to vote for. No thank you. I can't excuse that. And shame on you for not having a higher standard as well. When did you sell out? I demand a better candidate and more for my future and those of the world. I won't vote blue. Because voting blue means voting to continue this genocide.

“We need to know who is going to stand up with us! And this choice is clear. Joe Biden bet on the American worker, while Donald Trump blamed the American worker”

  • United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain

Although this clip is a few months old the sentiment is still true

If you truly are moral, if you truly care about the American worker then you must vote Joe Biden

@flexghost wasn't it Joe biden that told the rail workers they had to deal with it and
get back to work or else? The truth is he's pro-business, . And on top of that he sends bullets to kill . has got to go.

@flexghost i know you probably don't want me on your feed and you'll probably block me. But I'm not wrong. Joe is not a friend of the working class. Have a great day https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/dec/01/joe-biden-rail-strike-labor-unions

America, we have 11 months to stop a dictator. Don't be fooled by the familiarity of the fool or by any soft-pedaling of the situation. Trump means us excessive harm.

Nobody in the Democratic Party, including Joe Biden, is perfect. We don't need that and we won’t get it. We need people that will stop this march to autocracy, misogyny, racism, and the deletion of our rights.

One chance, people.

Voters must take Trump seriously and literally. The stakes are that high.

@TonyStark the dem party has to run better candidates. Biden is a and hasn't shown enough to prove he cares about the future for younger generations to vote for him. It's not enough to vote against someone, you need someone to vote FOR. And biden isn't it.

@feyter @TonyStark
No, I'm saying biden is about the same as trump because the differences between the two are so insignificant. Run a better candidate that actually makes a difference if you want votes. Don't make people choose between a shit sandwich and a shit sandwich with biodegradable packaging.

@TonyStark @feyter that's where we disagree. Everyone's vote is their own to cast and many of us won't be guilted into wasting it on an evil candidate. Enjoy your day.

@Beachbum @TonyStark OK I dunno where you get your info but a simple Google says he's forgiven no loans cause the Supreme Court shot that down. And presidents don't create jobs. And the world is still hitting record highs in climatetown. You just drank all the kool-aid. He's a who has done nothing substantially good for the majority of the population. president. During an actual with all the reasons to pass and nothing. Such a waste. No thanks

@jlou @leftism

It only taxes the land based on what they do with the land and the value of things near that land, seems pretty short sighted. Tech company "x" makes a billion dollars. But what they do in the building matters not, because the value of the land isn't really affected much so they add very little to society. So inequity continues. Also in those with the capital make the rules. They just alter the rules in their favor. You need structural change

@Zoboomafoo Then you're doomed to subsist in a system that will chew you up and spit you out without a care in the world. “Never be deceived that the rich will allow you to vote away their wealth.”

Powerful speech by President Joe Biden before the United Nations, with President Zelenskyy also in attendance.

Screenshot from CNN Live Feed of President Biden’s Remarks

“Russia alone bears responsibility for this war. Russia alone has the power to end this war immediately. And it’s Russia alone that stands in the way of peace.

Russia’s price for peace is Ukraine’s capitulation, Ukraine’s territory, and Ukraine’s children. Russia believes that the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalize Ukraine without consequence."

Ukraine is full of nazi scum. Like Ruslan Yeltsov. Here, dressed in full nazi regalia. Glad he's no longer among the living. I may not agree with Russia on some things, but nazis deserve no quarter. https://lemmygrad.ml/pictrs/image/6fc3ac29-aee4-44a6-812b-b113ca4f8f0a.png

Recently, Elon Musk made headlines when he allegedly refused to enable Starlink—a satellite internet service from SpaceX—to support a Ukrainian attack on Russia, thwarting military plans. Has one civilian's power grown too immense? With no elected position, military training, or official diplomatic role, his access and influence raise important concerns. When is 'enough' truly enough? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/elon-musk-spacex-starlink-ukraine

This is a dumb issue. If you don't want a capitalist to turn off their cool space toys that you need to do your war killing, maybe use your own space toys and don't rely on things you don't own. Or nationalize them. Or don't do war things.
