Paul also pulled out of his ass all the insane bullshit that modern evangelical Christianity is based around. “Yeah, uh, God hates gays, and women, and also loves the Roman Empire that killed Jesus.”

Guy’s dead, no evidence either way, so asserting that’s wrong is about as baseless as asserting it’s right. Things like that are far from unheard of.
I would edit it to say:
The precise reason why the solution has always been total replacement of the system with direct democracy. From within or without.
I have some faith that we’d see the economic outcomes we want with direct votes for measures vs. votes for politicians, due to the amount of involvement required.
Congress has the power to impeach him and remove him from office. Of course, like the last 10 or so war criminal presidents of the U.S., they don’t. Likewise, the courts have the power to neuter his presidency - and had the power to put him in prison - but don’t, and didn’t.

Tbph you should relinquish your control of any community you mod because your faculties for judgment are just about nonexistent.

In fact, show me which of the 5 definitions of Genocide Biden meets under article II of the UN charter.
Another red flag, you’re confusing the UN Charter with the UN Genocide Convention, which is what has an “Article II” that defines genocide. Imagine making these kinds of mistakes and posting publicly with the kind of confidence you have. What a dick.
Re: the UN Genocide Convention (not the UN Charter), if you bothered to read Article THREE, it outlines conspiracy to commit genocide as a crime independent of genocide itself, as well as direct and public incitement to commit genocide, and complicity in genocide. By any sane metric he’s guilty of multiple of these - even if we ignore the diplomatic, logistical, military, and economic support Biden gave to “Israel” for its genocide, he is also guilty of spreading genocidal incitement propaganda, namely atrocity propaganda about Oct. 7 meant to dehumanize Palestinians.
The ICC, by the way, does not enforce the UN Genocide Convention - rather, the ICJ, a different body, would issue a ruling, if a lawsuit was brought against a state party by another state party, and the UN Security Council - which the US has veto power over - would decide on any enforcement of that ruling.

The link you put does not excuse Biden. Why lie?
Meanwhile, back in reality:
The reason I say “naive” is that Biden persists in this mentality that Israel is just some poor victim surrounded by hostile Arab states and Israel hasn’t been a legit victim since… what? The 1972 Olympics?
Please study the Nakba, you’re not just embarrassing yourself but whitewashing a history of genocide.
dx1@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Israel Invades Jenin Days After Signing Gaza “Ceasefire”English2·5 months ago“Naive and outdated” that’s one way to describe sending $30B in arms to a genocide. Others would call it “complicity in genocide”. Like, experts in international law.
Been on lemmy.world for the last month or so you guys, I fucking hate it. Arguing with "we had to vote for Harris"ers until some vigilante mod decides my angry response to their support for genocide isn’t “civil” enough.
Brainwashers and brainwashees. Brainwashers are traitors.
