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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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
I think that perhaps you have just given up, because I don’t think that’s at all what the Dems are doing at the moment.
Actually, I do in fact think Trump would make things much worse. To think he wouldn’t is denying the inevitable.
To think NO change has happened is false and not inserting any nuance into American politics.
Shit is getting worse even with a Democrat in office. It's not that I've "given up" it's that I see it for what it is and I'm not interested in democrat gaslighting.
It's delusional to see this as anything other than Democrats not wanting to actually deliver on their promises. They want to be the party of vague threats.
Roe v Wade was overturned under Biden.
Homelessness can now be considered a crime that isn't immune from cruel and unusual punishments, this happened under Biden.
The president was declared immune from the law under Biden.
The genocide is quickly progressing into a regional war (which is worse) under Biden.
Food prices and the costs of living have continued to rise and will continue to rise under Biden, and he will offer no meaningful change in that regard.
These are the changes that have occurred under the Democrats.
Environmental policies under Biden
This lays out ten.
You can look at this info directly from the White House.
Okay, here’s another.
Literally a campaign ad.
Did you look at anything else I linked. Lol. Also, campaign for who? Biden out.
An ad for Biden is essentially an ad for Kamala, since she's done nothing on her own.
Okay. 😂
Bruh
When you're totally not desperate to come up with something.
“A historic first” meaning had never happened before. But okay, continue to troll lol.
”Visiting a place” isn't an achievement worth mentioning.
Okay. 😂
Is this you?
The libs truly are sending their best today.
Bro what. 😂😂 you did that image in reference to me!
You sure are owning the libs lmao.
Ah yes, environmental policies under biden, like more offshore drilling, taxing solar cells from china. Very cool! Ending deforestation by 2030 (and by that, it means we won't stop and most people will forget about it by then. Be carbon neutral by 2050, boy howdy, I bet so many people will remember that promise in 30 years.
2nd source shows a chart claiming the cost of living is going down, when in fact, its only going down in comparison to previous years in bidens presidency, and there are several other charts like this, or charts overselling minor changes as huge wins. Both are misleading.
3rd source is like others said a campaign ad, but not many people here are gonna throw their hands up and cheer over things like "support ukraine" and "counter terrorism" since we all universally hate amerikkka.
The last source can very easily be summarized by people having eyes. No amount of microscopic changes are going to win over people who are struggling pay check to pay check.
Well, it’s clear that my supporting evidence is nothing against your disbelief in any meaningful change in the country — or, just your consistent pessism. I concede to this conversation, but not the dead end path you seem to want to go on which involves no conversation on any meaningful solutions. Just sarcasm related to anything I’ve i clouded in my prior comment.
"Meaningful solutions"
Revolution.
Good luck with that revolution you speak of.
Good luck with voting for the cop that supports arming Israel in a genocide.
Okay! Good luck with whatever you choose to not do in this upcoming election!
I'll be voting. Just not for kamela harris.
Kay, are you on it?
Ofc. There is no other meaningful solution. Revolution is the only solution and I will gladly take my part in it, as will literally every other hexbear or lemmygrad user.
Okay so like you and 200 other people against all military and governments on the planet. Good luck. 😂
I support plenty of military. I support the military of the former USSR, I support the military of the DPRK, I support the military of Cuba.
I don't support a settler colonial state committing genocide.
