It's an ozma post. It isn't about facts or accuracy. It's about attacking biden as much as possible. Pushing accelerationism, with the purpose of getting more people hurt. Rather than actually helping anyone.

Seriously. Ozma is obnoxious.

If you assume that they actually do want to end the genocide and make things better. You'd be hard pressed to find a way to go about it worse than they have. Alienating people who would otherwise be allies.

Every once in awhile they post an article that I can sort of get behind. But I don't feel that I can up vote it simply because of who they are.

Most of the articles that aren't anti Biden are anti US in general from what I've seen. It's frustrating because I don't want to give them oxygen but don't want to cede the space.

Yes those tend to be slightly more accurate. There is plenty in American policy to be against even as an American.

I think most of us here are fairly lefty. Like to believe were better informed, and not vulnerable to misinformation and propaganda like others. But it isn't the case. There are plenty falling for it. Part of human nature, we all question things that validate our biases less.

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!
