No, our goal is to steer Democrats to produce a candidate that will beat Trump in November.
If Biden continues taking planks from the Republican platform then he won’t win.
If Biden appoints an AG that completely ignores Republican crimes and instead appoints special counsels to trash Biden, then he won’t win.

World News@lemmy.ml•Amnesty International finds no evidence of military targets at Rafah sites targeted by Israel
132·2 years agoI’m guessing Israel wasn’t bombing hostages. Although that guess has been wrong a lot.
“Even if Israeli forces had intended to target legitimate military objectives in the vicinity, these attacks evidently failed to distinguish between military objectives and civilian objects and would therefore be indiscriminate,” Amnesty International said in the report. “Indiscriminate attacks that kill and injure civilians are war crimes.”

World News@lemmy.ml•Kamala Harris Says She Is Ready to Serve as Biden Faces Age Scrutiny
5·2 years agoIt’s wild watching Democrats doing everything they can to repeat 2016. Now it’s “Bidenomics” says the economy’s great, why won’t you listen to us? Appointing a special counsel that releases a report about illegally storing classified material that says Biden’s too forgetful to have had intent. Instead of collapsing at a 9/11 memorial, Biden’s had 4 major incidents with his memory in the space of a week. Biden’s net favorability of -17 is lower than Hillary hit even after the Comey report. DNC removing candidates from the primary ballot that they’re scared of. Next thing you know, we’re going to find out Biden never stopped in Wisconsin for the 2024 campaign.

151·2 years agoThat’s certainly a strange new precedent. I hope Congress gets to work quickly writing legislation for all the other amendments before a president realizes there aren’t laws spelling out how freedom of speech is defined or how to enforce it, etc. etc.

News@lemmy.world•On the Border, Republicans Set a Trap, Then Fell Into It
114·2 years agoThis is the dumbest take I’ve seen yet.
Democrats gave up literally everything before even getting to the negotiating table. They’ve taken the Republicans’ wildest dreams and made it their initial offer. Republicans not accepting it and working them even further past that isn’t some kind of egg on their face moment, let alone a win, let alone, you know, actually helping people in desperate need of it.
It’s wild watching the machinations that liberals go through to be racist while trying to convince people that they’re not. The end result of this is going to be even more draconian than what Democrats are offering, and that’s perfectly OK with many of them.

We’re going to need to see way more of this to reverse the massive increase of natural gas production since Feb 2021 (2.6 trillion cubic ft / month then vs 3.5 trillion now, a 34% increase in less than 3 years and an all-time high for the US)

Al Mayadeen is not Hezbollah funded, no matter how many conspiracies people try to make up.
Should I bring up all the genocide denial in your post history? Claims that “Hamas uses teenage soldiers extensively”? Do you still think most people in the World News community here “seem to not consider Israeli’s as human”?
No matter how many reports you use to try to hide genocide, the truth will still come out.

The US didn’t propose a ceasefire yet. In response to this ceasefire proposal they’ve said they’re working on a draft for a proposal. With an indeterminate ceasefire of indeterminate length to start at an indeterminate date.
But strangely, once actual dates and times get proposed, they bring out the veto.
One could argue that it sure looks like they’re trying to muddy the waters and give Israel cover.
