“The FCC chair is clearly undertaking an effort to bully and intimidate independent journalism, which is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes where democracy is under siege,” said one critic.

      Removing sanctions, allowing the biggest bombs to be sent to Israel again, starting deportations of pro-palestine protestors

      You have to be lying or must be blind if you don’t think that’s worse

      They made it worse because now its spilling over into the us.

      Immigrants are being shipped to Guantanamo Bay, and trans folks are being erased from federal information.

      And you ask, “How did they make it worse?”

      What a stupid fucking thing to ask.

        In regards to the Israeli genocide. Reading comprehension helps, so I’d use that if I were you. And what exactly did Biden do to stop Trump from doing literally any of this? He could have had Trump arrested and that would have been that since he’s a president and it’s an official act.

        Then, when he was polling terribly after his first debate, he forced Kamala to be the only option for the Dems. The Democratic party didn’t even have a democratic primary. And somehow this is voters fault?

        And what safeguards did Biden/Dems put into place to protect immigrants or trans people huh? Oh that’s right, absolutely fucking nothing. Because they don’t care about trans people or immigrants, they’re just talking points for Dems.

        You can blame people with principles all you want. But Biden did nothing about Trump for 4 years. Everything that’s about to happen is on him. And in the future his name will be spoken in the same way that James Buchanan is.

            You’re turning this whole conversation into this weird fucking purity test. Meanwhile you’re either too blind or stupid to see that fascism has been here in the US. I’ve done protests, I’ve done voting, I’ve donated to causes that are anti-thetical to Trump and his laws. And guess what? Fascism is still here. Want to know why? Because none of that fucking does anything under a fascist government.

            Because guess what? Fascism isn’t something you can vote out. Anyone that knows about the history of fascism knows that.

                And you went out and achieved nothing at all. Because you were too bothered about how people voted over bringing your community together for when fascism finally came to your door.

                  Says the person actively driving wedges in their leftist community via single issue voting.

                  I hope your principles are comforting to your friends of color when they are segregated and deported.

                    I’ll actually be with my community and fighting along side them when it happens. Not putting some paper in a box and expecting a fascist to disappear forever like you.

            Why aren’t you asking this of your elected officials with all the power to do this instead of some random person online? How ridiculous.

            Harris and Biden chose to protect Israel over protecting the US and now we’re all paying for it.

              We know what they did, the answer is not enough. Anyone with half a brain knows that answer.

              Now answer the question, what did you do?
