there’s no appropriate time

Biden's been in office for more than 3 years. But all the complaints get drummed out during election season. I wonder who's pushing them...

You've had your head in the sand if you haven't been hearing people complain about Biden for nearly 4 years.

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 1 points 8 months ago

I have. But it seems to have been ramping up lately. And criticisms of things in the past now are not being done for anything but to tank the election.

[-] PopOfAfrica@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Dude, it's primary season now. It's precisely the time when you should be criticizing someone.

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network -2 points 8 months ago

You aren't going to primary an incumbent. Get over it.

[-] PopOfAfrica@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

That is not at all what the argument was. You said now's not the time. Now is literally the time.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

There's never a time.

It's a shame the genocide had to ramp up for election season, huh? Oh well, it's not the people that are criticizing the genocide enablers fault. That is 100% the fault of all the elected officials enabling it.

I bet trump will totally fix it. /s

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Democrats should not be supporting genocide.

You should stop. So should Biden.

The election industry is massive in the USA. The media is not really indicative of the conversations of the citizens, but they do know how to start reflecting these things when it's time to sell it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
