Homey, she’s vice president today. If she gave a fuck, we wouldn’t be where we are.

a variety of independent news sources.

Wikipedia is notoriously susceptible to bias when it comes to history and politics and has a noted left center bias (according to researchers at Harvard, not my words).

I’m not saying it’s a terrible sources but it definitely should not be the last stop and anything controversial (or the lack thereof) isn’t a meaningful indicator of whether or not something is actually true. Note the numerous examples of historical revisionism in the linked article.

You can install Plex on your mobile device and toggle the “share media from this device” setting. Otherwise, a steam deck would have everything an RPI has plus a GPU and a touch screen. Since there are two radios (2 and 5Ghz) on the device, you should be able to set it up as a bridge device, but I’ve not tried this personally.

This is a shrine to (among others) recognized war criminals

I prefer the term “ballistic blender”, by the way. Sounds better than knife missile.

I don’t disagree, homey. Seems like the militias are going to be a growing problem regardless of the election. What we disagree on here is the solution.

For me, the solution is for the Dems to call the genocide what it is and force a ceasefire.

I’m not judging people for pulling the only lever the US system gives them. I don’t advocate for voting for Trump and don’t recommend anyone does, but I do understand how some people might choose to vote against the people who are currently bombing them with the hope that the only other option won’t.

There are currently armed militias targeting bureaucrats for violence due to Republican misinformation. How many more escalations really remain before a full-blown civil war?

I’m not advocating for revolution, but it certainly seems more likely than the Democrats dropping their unwavering support for Israel.

calling it the “Israel-Gaza crisis” implies equivalence. As somebody else notes, not using the word genocide is also a strong signal that you don’t believe it’s a genocide. Finally, you used “lol” when talking about a genocide. In short, all evidence in your message suggests that you do not take it seriously.

If the point of your comment isn’t to minimize suffering and mock people for their political choice, then what is the point of your comment?

and what is “what they asked for”

I’m definitely not confused. Perhaps we have irreconcilable philosophical differences, but I’m certainly not confused by percentages.

Personally, I would a 30% voter turnout as a damning indictment of the system, particularly when Switzerland was one of the last countries in Europe to legalize women’s right to vote and the right to gay marriage.

For most of the US’s history, most people were simply not allowed to participate in that system and twice this century the winner lost the popular vote. How is it do hard to believe that someone would feel legitimately disenfranchised and frustrated by that system?

“both sides bad” has won almost every US election, according to this chart.

It’s literally the most popular position when you consider voter turnout and % of votes for each main party.

Ok? There’s a simple solution here for the democrats.

Let’s not engage in victim blaming here and recognize who has power to end this and who is exercising their right to express their profound and utter disappointment in a political system that is, at best, ambivalent to their suffering.

Who the fuck said anything about Trump? Not sure why you think people dying from American bombs give a fuck about who sent them.

Can you crawl out of your narrow worldview for just a second and recognize that real people are experiencing a real genocide?

That’s not some Russian propaganda spin either, but recognized by the ICJ.
