To debate on America's most pressing issue: a border dispute between two foreign nations.

I guess when Republicans refuse to debate, someone had to step up?

Blumenthal? Anti-establishment?

He was a writer for The Nation, AlterNet,[2] The Daily Beast, Al Akhbar, and Media Matters for America,[3][4] and has contributed to Al Jazeera English, The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.[3] He has been a writing fellow of the Nation Institute.[5] He is a regular contributor to Russian state-owned Sputnik and RT

Yes, he's such a rebel against The Man.

No need to sell me on him. You had me at pro russian.

Journalists m9ve around a lot, should treat them on the articles and substance of their work, maybe, oh well.

Yeah, who wouldn't be pro-Russian these days, what with their invading sovereign countries and oppressing LGBTQ people inside their borders? And then there's the bishops blessing nuclear weapons. Great place. Absolutely wonderful.

If I am in favor of someone, I need to be 100% in on all they do. Got it.

In reality, I do not agree with people on 100% of what they do/say.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

So you're saying that other than oppressing its own people for daring to love someone other than the opposite gender or being their birth gender, invading a sovereign country and blessing nuclear weapons as holy objects, Russia is a wonderful place and supporting them is the right thing to do. Gotcha.

How do you feel about North Korea?

Thoughts?

Nope. If RFK is speaking there won't be any coherent thoughts on display.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!
