Just a hypothetical question but how many Palestinians have to die for the US to vote to support a ceasefire? Or how many more war crimes Israel has to commit to stop them sending weapons.

The US should realise that sending them weapons empowers Israel and gives them the sense of impunity that no matter what they do they will always get a pass.

No one should be higher than basic humanitarian and international laws and with this war we clearly are showing our double standards.

Biden really doesn't want these Muslim votes it seems.

Politicians don't run the US. Corporations do. The reason US funding continues is because the military industrial complex is making bank — stealing billions of dollars from the people to genocide brown people is win-win for the sociopath oligarchs that own these corporations.

That is a really poor excuse for poor governance, and the fact that it has so many upvotes tells me that BLUEMAGA is panicking.

Not defending Biden, but seriously if you were a Muslim voter would you rather vote for Trump then? I can only assume he isn't very popular with those voters either, so they are left with very little choice and not voting for Biden is more or less the same as voting for Trump.

Y'all are... tiring... I'm just gonna copypaste my answer to an other comment of the same thread:

Y’all keep saying that but I have yet to see any of you point any actual material difference between Trump’s presidency vs during Biden’s presidency.

What changed after the transition from Trump to Biden except rhetoric? As far as I know, oppressed minorities kept having their rights taken away 1 by 1 the same as before, police kept being over funded the same as before, migrants from the southern border kept being detained in literal concentration camps at the border the same as before, things kept getting more financially difficult for the average American every day the same as before, big polluter corporations kept polluting without consequences the same as before, the military budget kept getting ramped up every year the same as before, what is different in the real world outside the clown-show that is your political system? Where the fuck does that “not good but definitely better” goes when you stop going by the words of these known serial liars for to seconds and take a peak at what as changed in the actual lives of the American people?

The only difference I see is that the Republicans is taking an active approach and pass laws directly whereas the Democrats is more passive and like to let the Republicans and other far right parties pass laws while standing there awkwardly and pretending they can do nothing about it.

And somehow Westerners want us to believe that if the world was lead by China we will be worse off?

One can be bad, and the other definitely worse.

Correct: Are We The Baddies? 📺

List of Atrocities committed by US authorities

I swear Canadians believe in America exceptionalism even more than we ourselves do.

Interesting list. As a data slut, it would be best to see this expanded to other countries as well. And then broken down into in and out of state atrocities. Then, further down the road, linking specific instigators to their crimes so exact avenues of violence could be tracked.

Honestly, this is an excellent beginning to a powerful tool.

edit: theorizing how more data gives a complete picture gets downvoted... by whom exactly?

Only in your racist sinophobic world view. We on the other hand, judge by past and present actions, and it is clear who is the genocidal maniac here.

There's some very interesting voting ~~manipulation~~ patterns going on in here. Some very quick upvotes on your nonsense and the same downvoting mine. I'm sure it's all legit though as you spread your agenda throughout Lemmy.
