    You’re seriously upset that I’m posting too many articles critical of US foreign policy while the US funds and arms a genocide? The only pattern you’ll find in my posts is a focus on Gaza. If you’d like to see other content, post it. Lemmy needs all the content it can get.

      Are you reading my message through some inverted version of those “They Live” sunglasses?

      The US is literally on the precipice of deciding if they should become an authoritarian, fascist, theocracy in the next election. Project 2025 is literally staring us in the face and a Biden loss for 2024 all but ensures the end of our democracy. Is it good at this so called democracy now? Not exactly, but it is sure better than the alternative with Trump.

      Yes, I am absolutely angry and upset about the situation in Gaza. It bothers me, but I also realize the realities of our current election situation. There is too much on the line for reproductive rights, Trans rights, minority rights, and so much more. Project 2025 puts us one step closer to Handmaid’s Tale becoming a reality and marginalized individuals being targeted and possibly put to death. Biden and Trump are our options in this sham two party system and yet I realize not voting for Biden is a sure fire way for things to get worse.

      So when I and others see a trend of negative post after negative post about Biden, it reads as a social engineering attack to brew apathy to convince people not to vote. This happened in 2016 with Hillary and we were all told not to worry about Trump. Well I loss my own authority over my reproductive freedom, anti-Trans rhetoric rose, and a chunk of our population became convinced BLM was the bad guys. I and others aren’t perfectly happy Biden is the Democratic pick, but him winning a avoids Project 2025 and a GOP Fascist takeover.

        You aren’t seeing a social engineering attack. You’re seeing the same thing that you’ll find on Tik Tok, Instagram, and anywhere else young progressives can be found. People are angry with Biden and for good reason. Sorry, we’re not going to shut up about it. We understand that there is a lot at stake in this election. But nothing can justify looking the other way while genocide is being committed.

        I truly wish Biden would take your concerns seriously enough to stop alienating a huge portion of his base with his actions.

        What’s the Democrat’s end game with Project 2025? Is it keep voting Democrat or else you get Project 2025? How can we convince the powerful that genocide is bad?
