Welcome to AltMedia House.

I founded this community to assist in the democratization of media by promoting voices that are suppressed in mainstream media publications, especially pro-Palestinian voices.

This community is 'AltMedia' in the Mearsheimer and Walt sense. Not the Richard Spencer sense.

This community likes John Mearsheimer, Stephen Walt, Alison Weir, Edward Said, Rashid Khalidi, Ilan Pape, Norm Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, Grant Smith, Chris Hedges, Robert Scheer, Ray McGovern, Larry Johnson, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Col. Douglas MacGregor, Max Blumenthal, Anya Parampil, Alastair Crooke, Chas Freeman, Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, Aaron Mate, Phil Giraldi, Matt Hoh, Karen Kwiatkowski, Kevork Almassian, Chief Dennis Fritz, Craig Murray, Scott Horton, Andrew Napolitano, Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Jon Elmer, Asa Winstanley, Daniel Davis, Nima Alkhorshid, Pascal Lottaz, Seymour Hersh, Glenn Greenwald, Krystal Ball, Saagar Enjeti, Jeremy Scahill, Ryan Grim, George Galloway, Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie, John Kiriakou, and everyone proximal to this group.

News outlets we like: the Cradle, Grayzone, MondoWeiss, Antiwar.com, Mintpress, Jacobin, Middle East Monitor, Middle East Eye, Al Jazeera, Information Liberation, israelpalestinenews.org, Electronic Intifada, Drop Site News, Responsible Statecraft, Sonar21, Scheerpost, Breaking Points, Consortium News, 972 Magazine, CounterPunch, The Intercept, The Nation, Haaretz and others like them.

We also browse Israeli newspapers like The Times of Israel and the Jerusalem Post for the ridiculous things they say.

We are cross-platform:

Thank you for cutting off the real fucked up one

I've seen what it says elsewhere. It needs to be said.

This is what some 200 million Americans voted for (or by inaction refused to vote against) because having a brown woman be president was worse than this. Each and every one of them should know what they voted for.

Nah. That’s a big exaggeration. There were not even a total of 200 million votes, let alone that many for one of the candidates.

Trump got about 77.3 million votes. Harris got 75 million….

People are tired of tired ass corporate donor candidates. This is absolutely the fault of the democrat and republican parties. Quit blaming the voters. Look up…. You’re so worried about the other voters instead of looking at who is in power… the problem is the wealthy and political establishment, they lost this election.

I counted the people who could vote, but didn't. I thought that was clear. If not... I counted the people who could vote, but didn't. (It was also a very rough estimate that might be a ways off.) They were convinced not voting meant one, they couldn't be blamed if we didn't like the person who got elected. False: they had the power to swing it the other way and chose not to. And two, that one was at least "mostly" as bad as the other. In this case, not so. I don't even think other Republican candidates would have been this bad, had they won (like McCain and Romney).

Nah man,

I will not continue voting for the lesser of two evils. Done with that noise.

Stop blaming voters and blame the shitty establishment politicians.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

There's plenty of blame to go around, but if you won't vote against tyranny, and you had the opportunity to, you do own some of it. "A brown woman" is not merely "the lesser of two evils" compared with a guy who tried to overthrow the government because he lost before.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 48 minutes ago

Quite frankly, voting on skin color and gender is pretty dumb. Same with religion etc.

Policy is what’s important. And if you’re policy is getting nothing down (she called 15$ minimum wage her signature issue and didn’t once fight for it), genocide, hugging billionaires, and welcoming war criminals with smiles and open arms (Dick Cheney), then you’re a shit politician who doesn’t get my vote.

You go ahead and keep voting based on race and gender though I guess?

I will not continue voting for the lesser of two evils. Done with that noise.

then you will continue to endure the harm of the worse candidate. you're never going to get the candidate that checks every box, that's not how politics works.

but thanks, your inability to comprehend harm reduction may mean no more need for votes for a long time.

Ok lemmy.world.

If you didn't vote for the half-black South Asian woman, you're raciss! /s

Even though she's a piece of shit that did what DAs do and regularly put people she knew were innocent in prison.

[–] bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Oh absolutely. Just reading it again is not something I would like to do multiple times in a day. And subjecting child sexual assault survivors to it everywhere can be a triggering event.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 18 hours ago

Spoiler tag and a trigger/content warning takes care of that. Silence only helps the oppressors. Or in this case, abusers — though, both are really correct.
