Are you people responding to what you think that I mean (possibly prejudiced because I am old white male who could have been a bit thinner), or what I actually wrote?
In my opinion it is irrelevant what 'modern" politicians lie to get elected.
What matters is what they'll do once elected.
If I, as a non-US-citizen would be able to vote during the election of a "world leader", of course I would not help Trump return to the oval office.
However, where was Kamala when the first 30,000 people were murdered using US-provided bombs, and Joe drew red lines saying "we cannot afford another 30,000 deaths"?
Meanwhile the number is 40,000 at least - including thousands of indisputably innocent children.
And all stop signs are red after their murderers humiliated Joe's administration by exterminating the "terrorists" primary negotiator.
It's your "democrats" who are playing with fire in countries belonging to other people. And who told the #ICC, #ICJ, #UN, #MSF etc to go fuck themselves.
I will *not* applaud *any* democrat until they prove that they are civilized human beings.

Perhaps you could take this somewhere other than this group, which has a specific focus.
@richardgrant @ErikvanStraten @spiegelmama @Thad @mastodonmigration @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews I wasn’t aware we were in a group—in fact I didn’t even know that groups existed on Mastodon. I saw a thread discussing the role of journalism in the maintenance of truth, and added to it. Even scrolling to the top of that thread doesn’t suggest the conversation started anywhere else?
I'm sorry, John, I didn't mean to include you in that cris de coeur — this thread has been posted to a Friendica group, (at)kamalaharrisforpresidentnews, so it's automatically reposted to everyone who subscribes — roughly 1500 of us right now — and this Erik fellow has more or less commandeered the entire discussion. There are moderators who *ought* to be responding but, as you likely know, the fediverse is a work-in-progress. Please join in as you please!
