At least he sounded a lot more energetic and present in this speech. What happened on stage?

Also if they didn't mess with the primary through media contacts, plus the media itself having its own biases due to their corporate owners and neoliberal talk show hosts, plus things like being able to offer favors to certain candidates for dropping out, or using past power like Obama to secure endorsements and stuff. It's super rigged.

He's pro genocide. That automatically makes him not progressive.

You can't avoid a genocide actively ongoing by the incumbent on stage.

It is pretty funny he's more willing to tell the truth on the conflict than Biden, though lol. The rest of the debate was lies, but he's willing to tell the truth on how much he loved genocide.

What? No! But we make such a big deal about spreading democracy. Say it ain't so!

In all seriousness I hope this election makes the rest of the US wake up to the fact that our democracy sucks, and we can stop being a hypocrite about destroying the way of life for other countries like Cuba because we don't like there's.

He's a milquetoast centrist moderate who will champion the same neoliberal policies that led us to this current state of crisis in America. He was also a proud McKinsey consultant and I think he worked with the CIA. During the election I thought his main issues were just not enough experience, though (he was just mayor of a small town basically). Social issue wise he's better than Trump still. Anyone is, though lol.

Is she pro genocide? My only problem with Biden is his age and Israel policy, and I have no idea what hers are.

You think they lost because Obama was too far to the left? He was extremely centrist in office.

So does Firefox make this more unique or something? I didn't know this was a thing but I'm interested in privacy and it sound like something I should be looking into.

Haha I saw it as meaning in the first trimester a woman can get an abortion with just telling her doctor and having complete privacy without anyone else getting involved. In the second trimester, a doctor may get involved if there's a medical emergency if they need to without the state being involved. I guess in the third trimester, and only then, is it up to each state if they want to get involved. There was some verbal weirdness in the way he said it, but I thought that was the general idea.

Great talk! I'm really going to be thinking about this one for a long time. Thanks for the link!

An old American tradition to not run a primary during a President's second term who is running for office. I guess it's supposed to help unify the party behind a proven winner or something. That's mostly it. Liberals love traditions, guidelines, and rules more than anyone.

That's incredible lol

Who?

Omg did Trump really say that? The first part of the sentence is true (and the only true thing I've heard him say in the debate so far), but the second as a follow up to that is plain fucking insane. Holy shit. Hitler level rhetoric on display.

The President has plenty of power here. They can halt shipments like he did one time, which proved he could try that. He could not veto ceasefire deals in the UN. He could assign a better secretary of state that doesn't run interference for Israel. He could not jump the gun making pro Israel statements or supporting suppressing the protests, than staying otherwise silent when they do things wrong like even kill American aide workers or Palestinian journalists. He could veto laws that get to him. He could rile up the populace to contact their local Congressmen and publish Israel's wrongdoings in press conferences, while he's only been doing that for pro-Palestinian "wrong-doing", often getting the facts wrong in the process. He could threaten Israel harder to let aid through the ground. Even if some of these fail, it shows who he supports at least.

Biden has publicly criticized Russia and China before. Every US President has made statements against countries like North Korea or Iran. It's the literally the least he could do.

What's wrong with that answer? It makes sense to me. There's a little verbal flub but otherwise it sounds alright.

It's why I stopped using Reddit on mobile lol. No, I don't want to download your official app, and no you making it so I need it to access NSFW stuff will convince me to.

Same with X/Twitter. I hate when people put information in those now because you can't read more than one at a time in some reply to self thread on there without downloading the app. Especially when it's important news or on the ground reporting. Screw that. All those reporters need to use mastadon.
