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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

MODERATORS
That would be great if dem supporters actually criticized this policy (and engaged politically outside of the kiddy pool of republican-democrat electoralism), but the majority don't seem to think it is an issue. Many believe that Biden shouldn't be criticized at all because it helps trump. Cough Cough.
If american politics is fubar then it's fubar and we should be done with the facade of the "better option" and strive to redesign it rather than acquiesce to the horror.
Biden already looks bad. The only way to make a politician do what you want is to criticize them. Always supporting someone because they wear the same colours as you is idiotic so yesh i agree with you. Idk how you would change american politics. Its like changing the rules of a game that youre trapped in. Maybe a civil war would be a good thing in the end but idk.
Yup, theyre all so thin skinned we managed to prevent wars based on lies and get universal healthcare by calling Bush gay.
Who opened the fucking lib gate.
Literally all democrats did for the last 10 years has been criticize right wing politicians how's that worked out.
The fucking Jan 6th hogs had a better understanding of how material conditions affect politics they just made the mistake of overestimating their popular support.
If you honestly think the only way to influence politicians is "criticism" youre already a neutered counter revolutionary.
Well, not the only way
