You can always count on German liberals to support fascism and genocide. Over 100 years of consistency is impressive.

Watching, reading, and listening to stuff in your target language. You can start with stuff made for learners if you really need to, but the sooner you start consuming material made for native speakers, the better. And always be reading and watching things that are challenging. I read news articles and novels, watched YouTube and TV, and listened to podcasts and music, and took lots of notes and flashcards. All from when I was a beginner. You can use subtitles for video and just look up words that you recognize but don't know.

I improved so much more quickly, even when I felt completely lost, than I ever have rote studying. And everyone I have ever met that's actually good at English as a second language only got there by actually consuming native media. Plus it's way more fun.

Biden's policies, all of which Kamala would continue unchanged, are extremely unpopular. She would continue gifting bombs to Israel to commit genocide with, do nothing about housing, medical care, reproductive or trans rights, policing...

Giving people time to realize she's just going to be more of the same would probably hurt more than help. Especially in regards to Palestine. Liberals are still leaving in dream reality where she really does super care a lot, really, she just thinks you need to beg in exactly the correct way to not slaughter children.

If it's on YouTube, then Sponsorblock will work on it as well. (Given someone has marked the sections, which is almost always)

Are you referring to the title? Of course that's not where she heard that slogan (and she almost certainly didn't even come up with that slogan for own campaign).

I'm pretty sure OP was just referencing Harris's zionism. If not, the post is pretty dumb, but I think that's the case.

JFK's brainworm upon seeing RFK's brainworm: "Oh shit. It's a red one."

Vimium-C is a rewrite and is better, and more well-documented.

Okay, I saw this really great video about it: https://youtu.be/FlWjf8asI4Y

Hope this helps!

Sure, Muslims are being slaughtered every day, children are being shot in the head while walking down the street, hospitals are basically halfway to being morgues, but how could you possibly hold anyone to higher standards?!?!

Expecting someone to be anti-genocide is way too far!

Well, you are correct, in a way. The Harris/Walz ticket has a very large chance to commit genocide if elected. That's something that Claudia & Karina have a zero chance of.

You should be proud!

The citations and author for several of them are right there in the image. Are you visually impaired? Again, I must ask, is it simply the content that you disagree with, but you don't have any actual arguments against it? That's what this seems like to me.

Well, I'm curious which ones you tried finding any information on, and which ones were difficult for you? The one that is an attributed quote is especially easy to find. The one with the exact title of a news article is also very easy to find. And one is a reference to a widely publicized act he took in office during a series of nationwide protests about which many news articles are incredible easy to find with keywords. The last one is also very easy to find with keywords.

You're implying some of it is not true, I think. So what did you do to verify them, and which ones were you unable to? Surely you aren't just pretending to care about misinformation but not putting any effort into verification yourself, right? Does that only go for facts you already like?
