As the 2024 Democratic National Convention opens Monday in Chicago, we look at the protests planned throughout the week to pressure Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party on key policies, including the ongoing U.S.-backed Israeli war on Gaza. Meanwhile, at least 36 delegates are also inside the convention as official delegates representing the “uncommitted” movement and are advocating an antiwar agenda to push for an end to U.S. arms sales to Israel. Although protesters this week come from a range of communities advocating on various issues, from economic injustice to reproductive rights, “Palestine is at the center,” says Hatem Abudayyeh, spokesperson for the Coalition to March on the Democratic National Convention and national chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. “All of those communities are standing up very publicly and very proudly, saying, 'Free Palestine. End U.S. aid to Israel.'”
Meanwhile, I’m on the frontpage daily and one of the users that creates top engagement for Lemmy.
Yes, you are a vociferous little propaganda birdy, I’ll give ya that. Not really the flex you imagined, methinks.
Copying and pasting news article links is propaganda now?
Having a self admitted slant does. The only real changes I’ve noticed in how you post is you throw up chaff posts to obfuscate your intentions. I ain’t buying it.
I’ve said many times already I hate the GOP and I hate the Dems. US politics is corporate owned.
On that, we agree. I actually agreed with you a lot when i first found Lemmy, but your method of conveying your message is shit.
They’re a self admitted tech bro living in LA and they make 6 figures. They don’t care about actual poor people living in worse areas, cuz their privileged ass will be fine smh
I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to get people talking. All types of opinions.
You’re here with an agenda. Gussy it up however you like, Trebec.
Nothing to gussy up. Just get people thinking.
I’ve never seen you before in my life. Go outside.
You absolutely don’t create engagement.
Frankly, you poison every fucking thread with simplistic takes accusing everyone of being genocidal until the word is now meaningless coming from you.
You make conversation impossible by flooding the zone with “fisher-price-my-first-politik” level of thinking that always dead ends with “well I don’t support gEnOcIdE!” Like you’ve actually made a point.
You’re on the front page because of your spam rate not your content. This shit is a cancer on lemmy.
