Removed Comment You have no idea just how much worse a multipolar world would be. America has been keeping a lid on so many conflicts around the globe. In many cases, all it takes is not even a carrier group parked near a country that wants to destabilize a region through direct warfare (like Venezuela recently), but just a sternly worded letter. No other nation on Earth has this kind of power. What do you think would happen to the global trade you too are relying on if there weren't US ships patrolling international waters anymore? America is far from perfect, but there's nobody that can replace it any time soon. by @DdCno1@beehaw.org reason: gross comments on israel-palestine

Removed Comment Since we are not living in a perfect world, there are no perfect solutions for anything. I don't envy people how have to make decisions like this one. It was the least terrible option, which is the best thing anyone can realistically hope for.
If you're seriously expecting even a country as advanced as Israel to be able to pull of something like this without ever endangering a single civilian, then you're either hopelessly naive - or you don't want Israel to defend itself at all. I can excuse the former, but not the latter. Hezbollah attacked without provocation and they attacked first. It is impossible to justify this and Israel had every right to fight back against a threat this severe. by @DdCno1@beehaw.org reason: gross comments on israel-palestine

Removed Comment I've seen surveillance camera footage of the explosions. They were so small and targeted that tomatoes on fruit stands mere centimeters next to the targets remained unspoiled. The shaped charges produced highly directed blasts designed to only injure a single person - and in the vast majority of cases, that's exactly what happened. Hezbollah could only claim that two children were killed, both children of Hezbollah members. That's tragic, since they are not responsible for the sins of their parents, but out of over 3500 explosions, that is an unbelievably small number of innocents. Footage of hospitals and the carnage in the streets meanwhile only - and I mean only - showed men of fighting age and slightly older men (like the Iranian ambassador) among those wounded by the explosions. Seriously, I was extremely curious of who was affected by the blasts and I could not find any photos or videos that showed victims of other demographics. It was rooms and corridors filled with fit young men.
The one thing that affected innocents the most was that these wounded terrorists overwhelmed the Lebanese healthcare system for a short while and that thus civilians were often denied care in the aftermath of the attack. Another minor thing was panic about civilians about electronic devices in general, with people fearing that any device could be remotely detonated, but this was of course unfounded, since only pagers (and, a day later, walkie-talkies) prepared with explosives exploded.
This attack crippled Hezbollah, vastly reducing the threat they are posing to the entire region, not just Israel. Without the pager attack, Syria would not have been liberated from the butcher Assad, since the terror group was vital in keeping armed opposition down and preserving Iran's foothold in the country. That's a good thing. by @DdCno1@beehaw.org reason: gross comments on israel-palestine

Removed Comment They were not indiscriminate. Words have meanings. Only pagers owned by Hezbollah fighters had explosives in them.

Removed Comment No, it was a protest that, like many in this country, featured instances of vandalism and violence as a direct result of bad crowd control and escalation by law enforcement. Calling it an insurrection means accepting a precedent for harsher criminalization of future protests of all types and their associated movements, especially the ones that threaten capital. It also means dishonoring the likes of heros who really did go for it, like John Brown. by CrimeDad reason: J6 denial

Removed Comment > So Trump’s going to skyrocket inflation and debt again? Like he did last time and that this administration is finally in the late stages of cleaning up?
Maybe, probably. This admin hasn't cleaned up inflation though. They failed to address the primary cause, or alleviate any of the symptoms. Nearly everyone is worse off now than they were 4 years ago, during a pandemic. That takes a special kind of failure.
You can claim whatever, but that's how voters see it. If you want to win votes you need to meet voters where they are, not where you pretend they are.
> keep seeing everywhere that voters voted on the economy, yet no one seems to be pointing out the exhausting, blatantly obvious truth. It’s been happening for what, 20+ years now?
Because no one has fixed the economy after Republicans, like you're suggesting.
They have made it worse.
Obama inherited the result of Clinton's poor financial decisions on the housing market passed to resolve the issues from Reaganomics. What did he do? He gave hope, sure that's more than Clinton or Harris were capable of, but he didn't fix it. Wages continued to go down compared to productivity and inflation. Shit just kept getting harder. Credit card debt started to balloon again. The average American was suffering more at the end of Obama's term than any of the Dems acknowledged... And Clinton lost because of that.
The voters care about a few things, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. Neither Dems or Republicans guarantee or improve access to any of those. Biden busted a union strike for fucks sake.
Very few voters who were harmed by trump were helped by Biden. So why vote for Biden with a vagina or Trump. by @dontgooglefinderscult@lemmings.world reason: "Biden with a vagina"? you're better than this
