Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I think you're missing the /s - I know you're being sarcastic but I don't think it's clear because some truly horrible piece of shit humans actually think that way.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No it's more because these typa comments are showing up after 13 straight months of dems giving a free pass to Israel and then ~~expecting~~ demanding people to vote for them.

Please, as if any other party - well the one other party since USA has two parties and that's it, at least when it comes to voting - has done anything.

[–] small44@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Stop with excuses. The same two parties are winning because people decided to vote for them. While in many other countries newly formed parties was able to win in the first attempt.

Other countries have representational voting. America doesn't have a system that will allow any other parties, especially on first attempt. If America has ranked-choice voting, it too would have parties out the wazoo

Which countries have ranked choice electoral systems? My home country doesn’t and it has at least 4 or 5 major parties, a lot of medium ones and many smaller ones.

Then maybe they should stop pretending to be a democracy.

Who's pretending? Where a fully functioning oligarchy

The US political system is not other countries. How come people on this site are all about understanding systems except when that system stands in their way? How come so many people are experts on US politics and the political landscape therein without having studied it literally ever in their life? It's honestly getting to be infuriating how little yall know and how far you think that knowledge seems to extend.

I don't need to know the details of how the red khmer worked to know they were bad.

I think they understand the sarcasm but they been offended by it.

[–] wertyuiop@feddit.rocks 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I do find it offensive to bring out petty political domestic politics on a news about genocide. America is not the center of the world, and worse, given that they are the one responsible for that shit, they should really keep a low-profile.

No I think the sarcasm was obvious, it was just a trite and tired sentiment.
