First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with… the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom…

“Dissent is essential for democracy,” Biden said at the White House. “But dissent must never lead to disorder.”
He largely sidestepped protesters’ demands, which have included ending U.S. support for Israeli military operations. Asked after his remarks whether the demonstrations would prompt him to consider changing course, Biden responded with a simple “no.”
I’m sure college-age voters are going to love that…
“Hey, do you care about what young voters want?” “No.”
Dumbest political team. Why would they let him say this. He didn’t even have to say shit. The fuck are they thinking.
Thinking? They’re sleepwalking off a cliff.

This is a ‘soft warning’ about name-calling. Generally speaking, name-calling isn’t nice. Please, be(e) nice when using Beehaw. Thank you.
Is ‘fascist’ name calling in this context, or ‘felon’?
Do presidential candidates really need to be protected from such milquetoast criticism?
There is some irony is the name-calling warning coming in as a reply to the “white moderate/wanting order” comment.
Unsubstantiated name calling. There is no sufficient evidence to support the label you’re attributing to the person. It is opinionated and name calling.
Joe Biden is literally funding the murder of thousands of children, while Donald Trump is currently being tried for several felonies.
Also, while protecting these fascists and felons, you seem to mistaken me for OP.
Name-calling is a form of argument in which insulting or demeaning labels are directed at an individual or group.
That’s what we, at Beehaw, don’t want. It is not nice.
They’re not insulting or demeaning labels, they’re facts. Donald Trump is a felon. Joe Biden is complicit in authoritarian war crimes and genocide, and is quashing public dissent with state force. You know, like a fascist.
What’s disturbing, and definitely not nice, is having staff here defend these people from criticism. Slaughtering children isn’t nice. Calling it out is.
These are public figures who directly engage in hurting others as a matter of course.
…staff here defend these people from criticism.
Show me where Beehaw staff have defended anyone from criticism.
The subject at hand is name-calling. It is not nice.
The subject that you keep reiterating is current events and politics.
Do you understand the difference?
what about you do something useful instead of whatever this is
Can Biden win without the youth vote? Does he even want to win?
no, he can’t. That’s why Fox freaked out and wanted to raise the voting age after last election.
But apparently, he doesn’t care.
Fuck your laws and order. Freedom first!🏴🏴🏴
Biden=LBJ?
I’ve been thinking of how we could revive the “Hey, Hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today” chant but with Biden, and your comment reminded me to think more on it.
Hey, hey, genocide Joe … ?
That doesn’t rhyme with how many kids did you kill today though, loses some of its catchiness.
Hey hey genocide Joe, how many kids did you kill, do you know?
Hey, hey, genocide Joe, how many Palestinians left to go?
I’m not very good at this 🙁
Better than mine haha
Maybe play around with this a bit?
“Hey! Bi-den Hey! How many kids have you killed today?!?”
