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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

Its ok fam. The empire is going to continue the killing regardless of your worthless vote.
Only on a few curated topics are the voters actually allowed to vote. And these votes are between: "keep it as it is, or slide into more shittiness." There usually isn't an option for "improve on this metric" .
No its only "slide into more shittiness" either way. The only choice is which lifestyle brand you prefer to watch
Things have slid more into shittiness under Biden, so you're wrong on that too
(Re)Elect Orange Hitler, or watch the Middle East burn.
Tough choice, man.
Regardless of who is sitting in that chair the American empire will continue the killing. Your vote isn't going to stop shit. I have lived through 9/11 in this shithole country and not one person was held accountable for their actions of the countless lives taken in Iraq.
Trivializing the Holocaust isn't gonna boost your FICO score.
Orange Hitler or white Hitler and you choose white, sounds about white
Its more like Re-elect Orange Hitler or re-elect Blue Gobbels at this point.
By raw body count, Trump is the lesser evil. Biden’s policies in Ukraine and Palestine have been catastrophic. I don’t really think Trump will be better but at least with Trump in power then the spineless democrats might actually oppose genocide at least in a performative way and that’s a better world than exists right now.
I don’t understand how anyone can look themselves in the mirror and decide to endorse genocide by voting for it.
The response to Palestine has been bipartisan, and I'd be willing to bet the sticking point for republicans on Ukraine war money has been more that they want to send more to Israel. Plus I have a hypothesis that republicans are more interested in attacking China than Russia and for the dems it's the other way around (though both obviously want to do both). Plus the republicans can spin Ukraine as being the democrat's doing so they're not as attached to achieving victory. At least not until they're in charge and have the opportunity to pitch themselves as the saviors in these conflicts, along with a change being a useful opportunity to move the goalposts for victory.
