geneva_convenience@lemmy.mlOPto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Democrats now openly attack Mamdani4·3 hours agoIn that case Obama as a person was more responsible than Trump who signs whatever the Heritage Foundation puts in front of him. Trump isn’t responsible for anything then. His GOP lobby can be blamed and he can be absolved.

Obama had a nickname. “Deporter in Chief”.
Obama did the things you described. The excuse is that Obama did not do it “systematically”. But he did it a few times and got away with it. Thus setting a precedent for Trump to do the same thing a lot of times.
Do you even remember that Obama built the cages?
Obama builds a concentration camp and then people act surprised that a Republican comes in and uses it as a concentration camp? The selective outrage here is astounding.
geneva_convenience@lemmy.mlOPto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Democrats now openly attack Mamdani5·4 hours agoYou’re right this makes it better. Trump using the national guard to arrest 1 (one) protester is what crossed the line for me. It’s not about abuse of violence to violate the right to protest and protect the billionaire class. What matters is that Trump did a thing very slightly differently.

Hillary “Let’s promote Trump and sabotage Bernie” Clinton? Very capable politicians. Have a “ButHerEmails”.
How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately “elevated” Donald Trump with its “pied piper” strategy
In its self-described “pied piper” strategy, the Clinton campaign proposed intentionally cultivating extreme right-wing presidential candidates, hoping to turn them into the new “mainstream of the Republican Party” in order to try to increase Clinton’s chances of winning.
The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee called for using far-right candidates “as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right.” Clinton’s camp insisted that Trump and other extremists should be “elevated” to “leaders of the pack” and media outlets should be told to “take them seriously.”

Yes. That exists and is well documented. There is even leaked video evidence of it despite being in a high security prison where Palestinians have no access to the footage.

Unless you can provide me with some incredibly damning quote it feels like you’re just grasping at straws here.

I didn’t even put in effort I just searched Glenn Greenwald on their profile. Can you source what claim you’re even talking about?
Israel lied that people got raped on october 7
Israel released a new report about rapes on october 7, citing the old already debunked claims as evidence. Not even taking the effort to fix their lies.

Is nobody allowed to point out these clearly coordinated Israeli propaganda blitzes?

Zionists in America are primarily Christians. I will very gladly change my stance if someone can provide a reasonable explanation for this.
Now please explain why all the mainstream western news outlets are uncritically citing debunked Israeli propaganda. Including the authors who debunked the propaganda.

Obama can be blamed for many other things such as record drone striking on innocent civilians and persecuting journalists exposing his empire’s war crimes.
But most impactful of all was his saving of the American billionaire elites which are the crux of all this suffering.
