Ah yes, giving even more power to presidents, no way that's going to be abused
Biden isn't a tyrant if he changes the rules to redefine what legally makes someone a tyrant. Perfect system. No notes.
What a feckless lying coward. There is no border crisis, you liberal conservative racist piece of shit.
Every day Biden does some new shit to solidify his losing of my vote.
I was jjjuuusssstttt about back to falling in line, status quo style; but this reminded me of how violent that is.
"hArM rEdUcTiOn!!1!1!!1!"
Death to the settlers.
Can't y'all just for for an independent? Why do you have to pick from two evils?
good people don't want to run for Supreme Engineer of the Babykillotron 400

The American people only have the illusion of agency in their so-called democracy. No one can win the presidential election unless the ruling class allows them to be in a position to. An independent that could win in that system would just be a choice between 3 evils instead of 2.
if you mean "why can't america as a whole do that" it's because we're run by a corporation wearing two trenchcoats
Voting third party isn't exactly as easy as it sounds in this country either it's not like everyone could just write in someone's name and they'd win
Literally lending credence to the Republicans' fabricated border crisis. While at the same time trying to appeal to racist voters who will not vote for Diet Trump. Yup. Classic Dem. move.
Fucker
Fuck, he's so damn terrible. I really hope the Latine community learns from the Arab/Muslim community and also abandons Biden in November.
But I'm more pessimistic about it.
news
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
