The French are, understandibly, less willing to overlook Nazism than anglophones.

Then again, no one should be overlooking Nazism.

Obama? Billy C.? Though maybe that’s my feels from being younger and less media savvy.

Though if I’m honest I don’t think any US president has been progressive.

I’m intrigued.

What five policies of Biden make him the most progressive president of the last 50 years?

Exactly. And he didn’t. For whatever reasons he wasn’t able to do anything but allow, if not actively encourage, the actions of Netanyahu and the IDF that led to the deaths of dozens to hundreds of Israelis, and tens of thousands of Palestinians.

You seem to have mistaken not materially different to Palestinians as equal to equivalent.

And that I didn’t talk about the bad stuff done by Biden and Obama, and the Bushes, and (the) Clinton(s).

Maybe if the Democratic party was more willing to make more materialistic changes we wouldn’t’ve had first Trump, let alone Trump 2. It is naive to hope that, and things for American sexual and ethnic minorities would be, generally, better under democrats. But they’re a holding pattern until the Republicans get in, and Dems don’t have people’s backs.

But my original point was that if you’re so blinkered to not even be able to understand why progressives and anti-imperialist would sit out of the 2024 election, you’re not going to be able to talk them round to vote for Your Guy™ if there is an election again in the future.

Rather than understand a dissenting point of view, you dismiss and villify people you should be trying to work with and understand.

Get friendly with Black Bloc and maybe we can all make things better for everyone at home and in the Middle East.

And you’re too high on American exceptionalism to realise that the words coming out of the White House have zero impact on the experience of Palestians.

The war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and indeed genocide would be happening the same. The only difference is you need to make up for thinking it would be less horrific if you had a leader who’d wasn’t so mask off about it.

Biden wasn’t able to hold back the tide ethnic cleansing and war crimes the IDF has inflicted on the Palestinians. It is very unlikely that a Harris win would have reigned in the killings, bombings, and all that have taken place since the election.

If you can’t understand why people would abstain from supporting one of two genocide supporting candidates who had shown no interest in making things better, you’re just as much to blame for the current US admin as those who did not vote.

All of Europe? All EU leaders? Just the EU president, who has a mostly ceremonial role?

I’m being nitpicky, no state is anyone’s friend and no superpower (or wannabe) comes even half as close as a state to being on your side.

So since adjusting by PPP Russia has spent over a trillion in USD on the war, that makes Russia the aggressor?

Thank you, that looks like a good set of hooks for me to get into at a weekend, child allowing.

I very much appreciate the guide. I’ll let you know when I’ve had a fiddle.

I tried using PiVPN to route my phone’s Internet access through my home network, but it kept breaking and I found I don’t have a head for networks.

Would caddy be able to do that in an easier to maintain way?

It’s not with the administration, it’s with Elon.

Free Speech™ is when you can spout racist and ignorant comments without repurcussion at the top of your lungs, literally or metaphorically online.

Disagreeing with Elon though, that isn’t Free Speech™, that’s treachery and evil and small minded bigotry.

Was it a Musk or Trump guy (effigy) they hung up from the same lamppost recently?
