    We’ve already seen from cameras on the ground this is not true though. Why keep pushing this?

      Stay safe. Police are out in force and they’re not pulling punches.

      Efforts inside the convention to get a pro-Palestinian speaker on behalf of the Uncommitted Delegation appear to have been thoroughly quashed by DNC staffers. And it looks like efforts to organize outside of the convention are also being harassed and censored.

      Noooo you can’t criticize my candidate it will make it harder for her to win like how people criticized Biden which made him quit and… checks notes completely turn around the election?

      Huh, it’s almost as if people are literally begging to vote for someone they want to vote for

          I think we can both agree this is a very complicated/politically nuanced situation

          No, I don’t agree with that. People have been gaslit (sorry) into thinking it’s a complicated situation with no fixes when reality is very cut and dry: Colonialist forces invaded, created an ethnostate, forced the population into an open prison and are proceeding to commit genocide with full support of the freedom loving international community.

          There are people who think this is inhumane and they’re right to make their voices heard. It’s the candidate’s job to compromise with their electorate, not the other way around.

            LMFAO see bro I think the exact same way, and using my critical thinking skills I used to reach that conclusion, I also deduced that the Democratic party is the only one that will even attempt to find a 2-state solution. Please, though, keep saying how terrible Kamala and the Democrats are. That’s totally the correct way to ensure Gaza exists in 10 years.

            Edit: oh I recognize the ID, this is just a troll

              So I’m supposed to ignore the last 60 years of unblinking support for genocide because this time they promised. Wait, they didn’t even promise it, they continue to support and send weapons and shutting down discussions that would give Palestinians any rights.

              But sure, the only way to stop genocide is to be complicit in genocide. Go Team Uncritical Support of the Lesser Evil

            Colonialist forces invaded, created an ethnostate

            Er, it was the British who colonized Palestine. Then the Jews came as refugees who had been invited by Britain. Then the British left, and it was the Jews who created the ethnostate.

            So the people who invaded and the people who created the ethnostate were two different groups of people.

            Sorry if that sounds pedantic, but I think it’s important to be clear on what happened in this case.

                Sure. They did that too, but that was after the creation of the ethnostate.

                Britain took Palestine in 1916. In 1917, they invited Jews to settle there in the Balfour Declaration.

                The British left in May 1948, and the Jewish settlers declared the existence of Israel (driving out 750,000 Palestinian refugees) in July. Then Israel annexed East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza in 1967, and they’ve been building illegal settlements in the West Bank since then.

                Again, just trying to be clear on what happened. I’m not trying to downplay any of it.

                  There were still land purchases during the British Mandate for the future ethnostate that led to the forced displacement of around a hundred thousand Palestinians that worked and lived on those lands

      as they should be. These people are simply attempting to hurt the democratic ticket. Where were they at the RNC? The fact they werent there is proof they believe the only party that’d listen is the Democrats, and if they believed that, they’d want the Democrats to win. But they don’t. So they’re, at the very least, anti-democratic. And should be ignored. Especially during the fucking DNC. Idiots

        Where were they at the RNC?

        How many Palestinian-Americans are registered Republican?

        It appears that these protests are being championed from within the respective parties, with a large cohort of “Uncommitted” liberal voters out of the Midwest leading the charge.

          I understand I’ll get downvoted for this but Harris said herself, as did Biden this week at the DNC that the protesters have a point, and that Harris wants a 2-state solution, ceasefire, hostages returned. Donald Trump wants Bibi to hold off and kill the ceasefire, to “finish the job”.

          Harris is the best route to ensuring that Palestine continues to receive US based aid as well as support for the end of the war.

          It is NEVER about getting EVERYTHING or NOTHING. If you set yourself on all or nothing, you will almost always end up with nothing.

          I’m voting Harris because I believe she is the best chance Palestine has right now.

              That’s honestly unfair as fuck to say “we are all complicit” as Americans, like maybe look at the globe. This was created and allowed to exist for a lot of reasons. It’s a monstrosity. But don’t let these fucks trick you into believing you should shoulder this like some white guilt nonsense

                Apparently dissent on Lemmy is marked as “genocide” and censored. Between this and all Israel news outlets being censored, it’s pretty clear this is just a pro-terrorism platform. Goodbye.

                  Your modlog is fully visible for anyone who cares to look:

                  “I’m voting for Trump because I want Israel to finish off the terrorists in Gaza.”

                  There are two problems with this:

                  1. Israel isn’t killing terrorists.

                  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/02/gaza-palestinian-children-killed-idf-israel-war

                  1. Israel says there are no innocent Palestinians.

                  https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/israel-posts-video-saying-are-no-innocent-civilians-gaza-rcna157111

                  So, yeah, backing Trump’s statement that Israel needs to “get it over with fast”? That’s advocating genocide.

        And many of these Palestine protester groups are on a team of their own, they are looking for an ‘all or nothing solution’ and anything else is against the team so burn it all down (many interviewed talk of destroying the whole system). Interesting how it’s okay when it supports your interest, huh?

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!
