  • Rofl. Biden/Harris trying everything they could to circumvent the blockade to get supplies into Gaza. Trump literally saying he wants to expel the remaining Palestinians and take their land for himself.

    You will never admit you were wrong. You will go to your deathbed self assured with yourself that you never compromised on your ideals no matter what actually happens to Gazian Palestinians.

    If it wasn’t abundantly obvious to the rest of ya’ll before, these soapbox “never genocide” bad actors never gave a single shit about what happens Palestinians.






  • What a dishonest argument.

    There’s a world of difference from someone barely getting by, living paycheck to paycheck, versus a middle class worker well into their career, able to afford minor luxuries and still squirrel away money for savings and retirement.

    I am middle class. I am 20 years into my career. I make comparatively good money.

    But due to not prioritizing buying property, I’ve pretty much missed my window. I can qualify for a mortgage, have the 20% down-payment, but the monthly payment would pretty much wipe me out, costing around $3k more per month than renting.

    If I were at this point in my career 20 years ago, I could have easily afforded a house comfortably.

    That is what we’re talking about when we talk about the housing crisis for specifically the middle class.













  • Man. You guys really can’t read the bold subtext or what?

    This is literally the very next reply by the same user from the 2nd link:

    Instead of voting for war criminals, how about not?

    You don’t fill in a hole by taking a lesser amount of dirt out. Likewise you don’t fix the system by voting for the lesser evil.

    They are not being subtle. They do this all the time here. They intentionally avoid specifically saying “don’t vote, both sides are bad”, but their intent is abundantly obvious.

    I’m honestly amazed at how many people here are falling for this crap. They are all over lemmy making the same kind of tongue in cheek “both sides” layups. How the hell aren’t you catching on?
