Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

No, it isn't. Clearly, we aren't capable of shame here in the US.
If we had any shame at all we wouldn't be voting for Biden, Trump, or Harris. All three are enthusiastic supporters of Israel and their genocide, which apparently 99% of voters don't see as a disqualifying position.
How is Harris an enthusiastic supporter? https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2024/7/26/harris-says-she-wont-be-silent-on-gaza-after-netanyahu-meeting
She’s not. But this “they’re all the same” bullshit is what sows discord and will get Trump re-elected.
They’re not wrong that our policy toward Israel needs re-evaluation. But I would caution against engaging with anyone who equates Trump to Biden or Harris.
It's pretty clear what's going on when someone comes into every single thread and tries to encourage Democrats not to vote.
Let's make sure we're in every single thread counteracting that shit.
100% in agreement.
I make a point of tagging whoever does this shit. You can tell who has an agenda because they appear in every single thread (sometimes not even related to politics) to spread their disinformation. Thankfully someone usually calls them out, but they'll just go to another thread and do the same thing again.
I don't care what she says in the press.
Biden wrung his hands too, but at the end of the day, made sure Israel got more weapons they're now using to blow up kids.
I'll believe that Harris is different when she uses the power she has to stop that funding.
Okay, but it is false to claim that she is a enthusiastic supporter without any evidence of said support.
Okay.
She is a someone whose public position on Israel is inconsequential because she is fully committed to ensuring that funding and weapons for their child genocide do not run out.
Do you like that better?
It's wholly factual.
Look, I understand where you're coming from and what you're saying, but please bring down the temperature in your comments, even if others seem pedantic or nitpicking to you.
You're welcome to express your opinion and agree or disagree with others as you see fit, but when you do so please remember the human on the other end of the discussion. There's no need for picking unnecessary fights with others or being overly antagonistic, and we're seeing a pattern of these threads you're involved in getting really heated.
I will do my best. Thank you.
Yeah! Just let the fascists win! That'll help!
That’s what the DNC has done since the southern strategy flipped their poles, yes.
Just appease the fascists! That’ll help!
