    I’m so tired of Americans looking at everything through the lens of their broken political system. Do you want to discuss which flavour of cola, Pepsi or Coka would be “better”? Go to your own internal politics community and knock yourselves out.

    The US president is suggesting ethnically cleansing Gaza. That’s the story here, not Biden or Kamala. Your petty infighting means jack shit to the rest of us.

    EDIT: Imagine if I started with an analysis of the situation based off of Montreal politics. “Oh boy, those Coderre voters will sure be glad that they downvoted Plante. What were they thinking”. And then there are long discussion threads underneath with a bunch of Montrealers discussing the nuances of Coderre vs Plante. That would suck the air out of the discussion, it would center the wrong thing and ultimately make the whole subject about Montreal, as opposed to Palestine. And everyone would be absolutely right to be mad at Montrealers for hijacking the discussion with their petty internal politics. That’s what it looks like.

      While true, the US is, unfortunately, the primary supplier to the genocide. That makes it world news.

        Yes, but the point they are making is that the USA is now calling for genocide officially, it seems. Biden and Harris are no longer relevant.
