    I hated when Instagram started emphasizing videos and then stories and I guess now it’s “reels”. I was on there to have a photography gallery. I also wasn’t there to watch other peoples’ videos. It’s all gotten even worse with the current TikTok video culture. It also annoys me when I’m looking to learn to do something, like say, change a battery in a car where it’s complex, and the only info available is in YouTube videos. I also never got learning to program from watching a video. I’d much rather just read the information.

    The Democratic Party doesn’t fully represent their voters, it’s true. It also seems you didn’t/can’t read the article in your first link. However, I am pragmatic and while I’d love to reform the Democratic Party, the republicans are MUCH WORSE about EVERYTHING.

    You’re very good at ranting and criticizing democrats while ignoring 80% of what I respond with.

    Tell me how Trump being elected will help the Palestinian cause.

    Nobody thinks that.

    WOW, really? Well let’s just “both sides!!” it and discourage Biden voters so we can get Danald Tramp elected anyway. After all, 50% of democrats going along with some bullshit vote condemning dictators is just as bad as 100% of republicans doing so, and means they’re indistinguishable.

    Okay, so… your belief is that Biden and the Democrats do no support queer, intersex and asexual individuals? What does that even mean? Climate activists? Okay… refugees? Seems like a combo of issues. “direct action initiatives, grassroots movements” is very vague.

    They also have a disdain for poor people

    Please consider we are comparing them to Republicans since that’s our realistic alternative. Democrats support a social safety net. Republicans fight against EVERY form of social(ist) support with legislation and propaganda. Let’s list the states which denied accepting federal funds to expand Medicaid… hmm… and no, it has nothing at all to do with “disabled, queer, non-white, neurodivergent or an intersection of those things” as they specifically help those people. As noted, we are comparing them to fucking republicans. What you’re saying makes almost no sense at all. Are you confusing Democrats with Republicans? Do you even live in the US?

    Okay, so you ignored half of what I said and are continuing to your primary agenda, Israel. Tell me how Trump being elected will help the Palestinian cause.

    Democrats gave a cushy border deal to Republicans knowing they’d refuse it over electoral concerns and guess what, they did. Again: either a Democrat or Republican will be elected for each seat available in the upcoming elections. How will a Republican taking office help migrants?

    MAGA is also about: hating LGBT, demonizing immigrants, worshiping wealthy people, opposing labor, hating the idea of government and taxes in general, banning abortion, large trucks, packing courts with conservatives, political corruption, and even things like removing the right for women to vote. Pretty sure US Liberals and Democrats haven’t stood up for those things at all.

    Biden, despite being President, does not get to make every decision himself. It is shameful that he has supported Israel this much so far, after it was clear they were doing far more than simple defense or retaliation, but the vast majority of US politicians have for Israel’s entire existence. Acting like Biden can unilaterally solve the problems with the US-Israel political alliance is naive. Acting like Biden’s actions were entirely due to some ‘uncommitted’ votes instantly is also naive.

    What’s with these anti-Biden strawmen/nonsense posts?

    One, of course Trump and Republicans will continue funding Israel. Two, it’s a false dichotomy/strawman because nobody has said we have to continue funding Israel to prevent Trump from winning. How would that make any sense?
