GeneralInterest@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Phoronix: Linus Torvalds Comments On The Russian Linux Maintainers Being DelistedEnglish2·8 months agothey’ve killed and continue to kill tens of thousands of civilians in the independent republics
Even if I assume the truth of that statement, do you not care about the deaths of Ukrainian civilians?
We couped Ukraine in 2014
My understanding is that Ukraine’s parliament (Rada) removed Yanukovych from his position as president. That seems fair to me. Many countries, including the US, have legal processes for removing their leaders.

What Russia claims though is that the Ukrainian government is full of Nazis, which I don’t think is true.

I am in the UK but that shouldn’t be a problem because I can normally access stuff from Pew, NYT, and WaPo.
GeneralInterest@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Obama tells Black men it’s ‘not acceptable’ to sit out electionEnglish1·9 months agoDo you have any specific links that show this data? I’m just wondering really. I wonder what the trends with non-white college grads are.
GeneralInterest@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Obama tells Black men it’s ‘not acceptable’ to sit out electionEnglish1·9 months agoWell I’m just saying there’s certainly a lot of statistics I haven’t seen.
Also in the Pew polling I linked to, it shows the Democrat lead among black college grads increasing between the 2018 mid-terms and 2020. It’s only a 1 point difference but at least it hasn’t gone backwards.
Maybe the Dems are doing better with more educated voters, but not necessarily white ones. I dunno. I guess for these matters a person would have to see lots of data points to really understand the trends going on.
GeneralInterest@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Obama tells Black men it’s ‘not acceptable’ to sit out electionEnglish1·9 months agoFair enough, I guess there’s more than what I know, which is not much.
GeneralInterest@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Obama tells Black men it’s ‘not acceptable’ to sit out electionEnglish5·9 months agoHere’s just one source but it shows the Dems’ lead over the GOP declining among white college grads between 2016 and 2020. But the Dems’ lead over the GOP among all college grads, of any race, increased between those elections.
Sure that’s only one source. Maybe there are polls supporting what you say, I dunno. I could be totally wrong with what I’m saying.

Except if your name is Elon Musk, or Peter Thiel, or David Sacks, or you’re an affluent educated white supporter of them…
Some of your points might well be supported by polling (I don’t know enough to say) but I’m sure there are plenty of affluent educated whites who support Trump.

How does Zelenskyy’s government venerate Bandera? Zelenskyy apparently dismissed his ambassador to Germany after the ambassador defended Bandera.
The Kremlin pushes the idea that the government of Zelenskyy (a Jewish man) is full of Nazis, because they think this justifies their invasion of Ukraine.
In reality it seems to me that Russia is behaving like Nazis, not Ukraine. Russia is the one that has launched an invasion of conquest, just like the Nazis did.
