Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If she would have said "fuck Isn'treal" I'd have voted for her and she would have won.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

She didn't even have to follow through. She could have kept the genocide going so long as she said she didn't support Isreal. But no, she couldn't keep her mask on.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

I actually said as much. I said back during the run up that all she had to do was say that she would work to end the genocide and that she would work for protections of trans people and she would have gotten at least my vote. Those were my only 2 real voting points this year and she couldn't even go the status quo dem route and just make those empty promises.

spectacularly incompetent politician who was appointed the whole way up the ladder. her only real contest was when she almost lost the race for attorney general to a Republican in California in 2010(!) imagine how bad you have to be to win by 0.8% in dem-heavy California while Obama's still relatively popular

'Trump would be worse', as a ceasefire starts...

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Watch them say that this was only a political play from Netanyahu to gain support from Trump

Like Biden didn't pay for the whole genocide so far without asking for anything in return

I hate to say this but realpolitik is realpolitik, extremely critical support to Trump

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

They meant Trump would be worse for them. Libs have never given a single shit about anything else, even as they faked concern about Gaza like they fake concern about the entire Dem platform.

They were clapping for the idea that they would be exterminated after it became apparent her positions on Palestine were hurting her electoral chances.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Israelis just killed a couple kids. Did the ceasefire even last 24 hours?

[–] JayTreeman@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

The idf will continue until hamas hits back, then it's up to the idf to retaliate because hamas broke the ceasefire. I admit that I had hopes that Trump would be a bit different, but he's going balls to the wall and it's scary.
