I knew a dude in the Philippines that couldn't pronounce his R's, and unfortunately his name was Ramer Romero. He basically pronounced the R's as H's. He was super chill about it, though. Good dude.

Seems pretty straightforward to me. Don't want to lose your base who have made it clear they don't support Israel's genocidal actions against Palestine? Then don't fucking endorse and cheerlead said actions.

What base is this retard referring to? 
https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/politics/2024/05/16/president-biden-s-approval-rating-dips-over-response-to-israel-gaza-war

Quote:While a majority of Democrats approve (53%)

About 93% of registered Democrats who approve of Biden’s response to the conflict said they would vote for him this November. Of registered Democrats who disapprove, 77% said they would vote for him.

This is just one poll but it’s much in line with others if you look. What base is he referring to lol
I swear I can't tell at times if they are bots, AI or just plain fucking stupid people. The amount of illiterate people on there and those who can't spell is astounding. 

After October 7th the Hamas apologists are easy to spot as they get so angry at Israel for simply existing they can't even spell properly or form coherent sentences.

Like how in the FUCK is Slayven a moderator? Cunt probably doesn't even have spellcheck enabled on his browser and even if he manages to not fuck up at spelling, his posts make no sense. Good representative to have of your forum B-Dumbs when your mods and admins are dumb as shit.

Like deimosmasque. What in the fuck is a question mark doing here? "Ugly, Queer, Gender-Fluid, Drive-In Mutant, yes?"

If action like that could wake me up to the conflict in 2021, there's no excuse for Gamespot and the like to not be rallying together and call attention to this to do something about it on a bigger scale, to let others be aware of the horrors going on.

ResetEra just doesn't make sense on the Palestine issue. They are 30 - 50(?) somethings, some perhaps a bit younger but most of them must've seen or known about the previous events in Gaza. It has been in the news, a lot. Like every other year some conflict between Israel and Palestine would flare up (especially if anyone tried to make peace). Not to mention that very few countries would accept the kidnapping, rape and torture of ~250 of their citizens including children. 

They also know how Hamas, ISIS and other radical islamist groups think about the 'queers for Palestine'. 
It's like they just completely ignore reality and are gaslighting themselves(?).

It is not beyond the pale to think Israel's blockade of basic resources and extensive bombing is a little much given the amount of civilian deaths and infrastructure destruction.  Israel issued impossible evacuation orders in the north.   I understand there's no equivalence between the Israeli government and Hamas, and yes - there is a lot of 'bigotry of low expectations' going on here with the Palestinian people, but it's not as if Israel can't be criticized here. I don't follow this stuff that closely and I don't pretend to have a sophisticated understanding or a strong opinion about it, but this is from the Wikipedia:   "Foreign media such as CNN, ABC, NBC, The New York Times, and Fox News, have limited access to Gaza only in the presence of Israeli soldiers. Vox reported that the news organizations "have to submit all materials and footage to the IDF for review before publication" - the source is Vox, which is a far lefty mag, so, again - my due diligence here is relying on good faith.   But between that and Israel shutting down Al Jazeera and seizing their equipment, it seems like indefensible behavior for a democratic government.  You can say what you want about Al Jazeera's coverage or opinion, but when the state has the ability to shut down press at will, it makes me think differently of all the press left standing.  Not to mention when anyone criticizes Israel at all, the President calls them out for being anti-semitic, which is obnoxious.   Without taking sides here, I don't find it unbelievable that Israel is critically assailable here.

Putting aside the "anti-democratic" actions of Israel, how does that make Biden complicit in a genocide for which there is no real evidence.
They know where the US stands on this, regardless of who is in charge of Israel or the US President.

Israel is also making the same moves the EU and Ukraine are making with regards to Russian press (and in the case of Ukraine, even domestic press). Al Jazeera has always been very questionable in their coverage and the primary source for many of the hoaxes (including the hospital bombing, which was actually a misfire from Hamas). Personally I don't think any media should be banned but if the EU bans Russia Today, I can see why Israel would feel they have the right to ban Al Jazeera as it blatantly aligns itself with ISIS and Hamas.

It doesn't and the EU should not ban RT, or rather, should not have the ability to.

Rather than turn this into some backbiting tit-for-tat, I'll just say the rise of the fascist right in America was not a unique artifact of Trump's presidency and leave it at that. And if that's the only bargaining chip liberals have when it comes to why Biden needs a decisive, unqualified victory this November - then the election is already lost.
Quote:Yeah the wording is definitely becoming more overt. Have to wonder if it's in part due to the general rise in more extremist views becoming 'accepted' in recent years. Tbh I'm worried how much worse things are gonna keep getting on the current political path as there doesn't seem to be an off ramp in sight

Hey just looking for clarification.

Do you mean to use the "They're starving children in Africa so you should eat slop" as a reason to vote? The goal of society should be to want better for everyone, no just some.

You could try to engage with the poster points but you choose to belittle them.

We can't change society until we start unlearning our own White Supremacist Ways of Thinking. The key one that I see in your post is "The Right Way of Doing Things".

Can you argue that democracy is alive? It doesn't seem like it when you look at the stats.
Malarkey!
I love all the posts about Project 2025 being "literally a fascist agenda" and Trump's plan when it's not, Trump has his own worse plan (Agenda 47) and Project 2025 is just the same old Heritage wishlist for three decades not Mussolini.

Also love the "JUST READ IT" when you know they haven't read that shit, it's 900+ pages.
