Right here. Biden’s policies greatly strengthened Israel and directly helped the genocide.
Is Trump worse? I think yes. But that is still no reason to gloat or to think that endlessly supporting the lesser evil is going to produce any real changes that the world needs.
thanks.
After reading further, I see your point. Sorry about that.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll look into checking for the AMP pages. (Never heard of those before, haven’t done much with the web for quite a while.)

Blame Biden-Harris and the Democrats, not the Palestinians.
Article contains info from interviews and internal documents of government officials from various countries.
That statement is truly incredible! Biden helped give cover to Netanyahu (in addition to endless supplies of bombs) and drew one tiny red line for a few weeks (no bunker-busters in Rafah) and that faded quickly. He stopped funding UNWRA, even when other Western countries resumed it. Continuous support for Israel in the UN Security Council.
The West Bank example is grotesque. What effect did those sanctions have? None that I can see. The IDF has begun destroying infrastructure like they have done in Gaza, in addition to all of the killings.
So no, there is no reason to defend Biden/Harris. Is Trump worse? Yes, so what about it? Should we refrain from protesting because Democrats are in power right now?
Aren’t the elections over? Whatever “strategic” excuse for supporting Biden/Harris is gone now. It’s a bi-partisan policy of unconditional support for Israel.
It’s true Trump will be more extreme, but there is no longer any excuse for going easy on Biden/Harris, if there ever was.

I just learned about this around 11:45pm ET November 4. I signed up as a swing-state voter, and in 5 minutes got connected with 2 safe-state voters who agreed to vote for Jill Stein as a swap for my (very reluctant) vote for Harris. I feel much better now. :-)
Sorry if you think that my posting reflects “bad faith”. I have responded to comments a few times, but generally I’m trying to get useful articles out to the Fediverse. (I also post a lot in Mastodon.)
I did write one long comment on voting for Harris, where I stated that it is a difficult decision for me, because each day I get angrier at the Biden/Harris blank check for Bibi. At the same time, I clearly don’t want Trump.
Thanks for the heads-up, I hadn’t seen that. Glad to see it was re-categorized as an enhancement. Hopefully, someone will work on it at some point.
Right, I’m hoping that the change might be easy. If it requires major work, then no, it would be very unlikely. Thanks for responding.
Hi, has there been any progress on this? Thanks.
An admin just wrote me about this, and said to create an “issue” about it. Where do I go to do that? Thanks.
Yeah, I see your point. This post is fine for most communities, but not quite suitable for this one.
You were correct about flair - doesn’t help with Masto-to-lemmy. Thanks. (last night I posted this in the wrong place. It’s where I want it now.) :-)

Totally wasted sarcasm.
