Isn't it kinda weird that third parties only make an effort every 4 years?

You’d think midterms would be a great time to get your name out there and run high profile candidates to win House districts led by charlatans…

This is straight up dystopian and very reminiscent of how Nazi Germany transformed Germany (minus the domestic ethnic cleansing).

In China, Ruled by Men, Women Quietly Find a Powerful Voice

In China, Ruled by Men, Women Quietly Find a Powerful Voice - Lemmy.World

First off, terrible headline. The “ruled by men” is totally unnecessary and biased. Second, there are certainly much worse events going on in the world right now. This is hardly the most important. It’s an interesting article though about how some women feel in China about government policies and how they’re meeting to discuss feminism and women empowerment. It’s disappointing to see that the Chinese government has adopted a similar stance to US Republicans.

This article is absolutely infuriating. I’d like to say I’m surprised to see people with such vitriol, but this isn’t a surprise.

Russia and China Veto U.S.-Led Cease-Fire Resolution at U.N. - Lemmy.World

I had to do a double take when I read this headline. I’m interested in reading plausible explanations for why Russia and China would do this beyond geopolitical rivalries.

Thought this was better suited as a comment – it mentions an incident which completely exemplifies the misinformation issue. Paraphrasing:

Some Palestinians were told that Hamas destroyed/liberated a prison. They celebrated in the streets, and were totally unawares that Hamas had committed a terror attack against Israeli civilians. When footage of this got to Israel, there was no context provided. The world thought that this was an open celebration of the civilian killings.

There was a propaganda campaign where Hamas omitted unsavory details to Palestinians, and a propaganda campaign where Israel portrayed every Palestinian as Hamas supporters to Israelis.

They Worked Together as Peace Activists. Oct. 7 Changed Everything.

This is an excellent article. It follows an Israeli peace activist and a Palestinian peace activist who work together with a group that believes communication between Israelis and Palestinians is paramount to having a peaceful resolution. What it does really well is highlight how the two of them talk past each other and don’t realize it – one of them makes an innocuous comment, and the other thinks it’s something bad but doesn’t speak up necessarily. The article also provides really good perspective on how misinformation and fog of war are affecting the conflict. It highlights situations where Israelis are lied to and shown selective news, and where Palestinians are lied to and shown selective news.

He isn’t even hiding it anymore that he’s just playing spoiler. There’s absolutely no reason for a third party candidate to prioritize a swing state.
