Why couldn’t she speak up sooner?

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 43 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

She did. She was calling for ceasefires within the first month and seven months ago was the first senator to call it a genocide and calling for an arms embargo.

It would have been too practical. Now Biden is a lame duck and were past the point of no return. Its the perfect time to publicly stake out a fanciful position.

Seems like her position has been relatively the same since the start of the conflict, but do go off

What, did she just wake up from a year long nap?

So, let's see what centrists call critics of the Bidenyahu genocide now that they can't call them trumpers.

Because it's not like centrists will ever abandon their support for genocide.

no crows will land on you, straw man.

Netanyahu is committing genocide and we are wrong to sell him weapons. Centrists will never admit this because it means that the only policy they won't abandon at the first hint of pressure is not only morally reprehensible, but also politically unpopular.

If any centrist wants to admit that supporting genocide was a mistake, I'd love to hear it. For the first time.

Caw! Caw!

Oh sorry, I meant "Caca! Their argument is caca!"

ha, truth. they sound nuts

you'll probably notice that every person arguing against "centrists" as if they aren't centrist is very proud of their refusal to provide evidence for their arguments or read any articles refuting their mistakes.

Opportunistic vulture gonna try to tie herself to bernie.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 26 points 1 week ago

Warren called it a genocide before Bernie did.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
