Impossible I've been told Joe Biden was the most popular candidate ever and Dems would 100% lose without him.

Next you're going to tell me that not supporting Genocide would earn her even more votes.

I must admit that I got scared when Biden noped out of the re-election.

I'm just glad that Kamala seems to be bringing the unification the dems need.

Get her the nomination already! And people, people, people, don't do a Hillary and become complacent. Get out and VOTE!

I'm not sure that anyone claimed Biden was the most popular demograt candidate ever, it's more that he was the safe choice, and dems have always played it safe..at least until this week where they've finally taken a chance on something.

Same here. When your choice is between boring, middle of the road corporatists and 100% concentrated evil, it shouldn't be a tough choice to make.

That doesn't mean I'm a fan of Democrats, though. In fact, I farking HATE having to vote Democrat. I've hated it for the last 20 years. But I hate the Judge Dredd universe the Republicans want even more. Check out Project 2025. They're not even trying to be subtle about what they want, anymore.

"Opposing Israel is political suicide!" — Lemmy literally a week before the presumptive nominee told Netanyahu that the war needs to end.

Ah yes, Lemmy the monolith. Lemmy the single person with a single thought. Nevermind that there are many Lemmy instances with very different user bases.

And we've each got one upvote, making it possible to gage the overall popularity of ideas.

Must've missed that quote in among the endless stream of insane "Genocide Joe" posts on here.

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

.world was saying "better things aren't possible, not supporting genocide is actually a really complicated and nuanced matter", .ml was saying "People aren't voting for genocide joe".

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!
