Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

American boots on the ground in Gaza and pave it over to put up a luxury beach resort,

Don't see much difference apart from the jersey being worn by the ~~settlers~~ murderers and raiders, personally. The policy is ultimately the same.

run by a man who would love to wipe non-white ethnicities off the planet and build more towers to his inflated ego where they once lived.

And I'm sure Joe 'Fund the Police' Biden and his sidekick Harris are super concerned about non-white ethnicities. His enthusiasm for keeping the WMD's flowing mid-genocide and mid-famine really sells me on his supposed empathy for them too.

This isn't a zero sum game and this isn't about defending a president who can at best be said to have kept the ship afloat and recovered some of the economic damage caused by Trump's COVID response, nor the shitty option B the Dems forced on us without a primary. All of the above can be terrible. That's always an option.

You see one jersey or the other, I saw two jerseys with twice the players on the horizon. The policy is the same now, but in 2024 during the election? When the guy who idolizes war mongers like Putin and who used to read Hitler's speeches before bed (according to the biography of an ex-wife), and who had previously said about the Middle East that he wanted to "nuke the sand into glass" said that he wanted to invade Gaza and put a carrier just off the coast, I fully believed that the strip would be gone and the people who lived there a footnote in the history books written by Israel and the US by now.

Both suck. Both support genocide. But one was talking about accelerating it by an order of magnitude that didn't leave nukes off the table. If they hadn't replaced the big red button in the Oval Office with one that orders a diet coke, he would've slammed it the first chance he got.
