The election results seem to suggest otherwise
The election results seem to suggest otherwise
But, no, ofc “puuuurge elon tomorrow!”.
Wasn’t the whole moral of The Purge that rich people are insulated from the consequences of their shitty policy. And the only real defense against stocastic violence is community with your fellow man and trust in one another?
“Purge Elon!” is a fiction because Elon is at the center of an enormous, slavishly loyal cult. Meanwhile, folks on Lemmy would slit each others’ throats over a bad meme. There’s not going to be a line, because everyone in it would be stabbing one another.
Neoliberals are just libertarians with better branding
Reminds me of those AI centers that drain the grid and suck up all the municipal water, only to run a fortune in PR about being Green.
As though using a Three Mile Island’s worth of electricity is doing the rest of the world a favor.
You think that people should vote for a person who was to the right of Trump
He’s to the left of Obama.
this post is bigoted against a minority
The individual is the smallest minority, and there are a long line of individuals who fucked up.
Rather than learning from their mistakes, they’d like to label their critics “bigots”.
Republicans don’t have a monopoly on Racism or Misogyny unfortunately and those Democrats probably stayed home…
Dems repeating this to themselves so they can justify doing nothing for the next four years.
tell me which of the four options Hoosiers should have voted for in 2024.
Vote Your Conscience. Unfortunately, the only person on the list who isn’t genocidal appears to be Chase Oliver.
Weird that you won’t answer.
Weird you didn’t ask until after the election.
FFS - kamala could have setup a lemonade stand near some factory and talked to workers. She could have worked in a soup kitchen one day and do small talk with homeless people - media would eat that up.
Raising a billion dollars in a matter of months and then pissing it away just as quickly, so you can lose in a landslide, with nothing material left behind that anyone might have been proud of.
We do it every couple of years, and it always feels like such a fucking waste.
She offered nothing for working class and then refused to sit down with Rogan.
One of these is unforgiveable. But also, after liberals went absolutely apeshit over Bernie sitting down with Rogan, I can see why Harris was hesitant.
I also remember when people were very excited about student debt relief and an increased min wage and the Green New Deal jobs program and finally putting an end to Kids In Cages and Gitmo and the ugly foreign wars and… Oops.
Mexico has been a tidal wave of leftist political energy. Its so funny to hear Mayo Americans complain about electing one of their own, after they turned out in droves for him.
Let’s not blame minorities for what was clearly the blame of white people.
“This is why Trump got elected” is why Trump got elected.
It wasn’t even a month ago that people were freaking out about young black men defecting to the Republican Party. You had Obama running around all the states Harris lost, trying to shame black voters for a Trump vote they never cast. You had news media blaming black Muslims of being responsible for their own persecution. Just a tidal wave of anger at black Americans for not doing enough to help Harris win.
They ended up being her biggest supporters, while all the white cable news heads and Hawk Tuah podcast listeners and AM Radio addicts were the ones defecting from the party.
Lots of white Trump voters or white vote abstainers downvoting.
We weren’t trying to elect Bill Clinton
Clinton was a major campaigner and bundler for the Harris administration. And he’s just the most blindingly obvious example. David Shor, Harris’s campaign chairperson, is also a well known creep.
the fascists have already been given enough rope to hang themselves.
It’s a long road from 1933 to 1945
His in group loves to frequent strip clubs and prostitutes. One of his more high profile stunts was to pay for Brandi Love to attend a GOP convention.
He’s not in it for dating. He sees women like fast cars or fancy gadgets or big houses - just another commodity to demonstrate your status.
Also ignores the power dynamic at play. The boy while complain to his Trump-loving teacher and the teacher will call the principal and the principal will call the police and the police will come and arrest the child and then take her to jail where other cops will rape her.
And if you talk about the epidemic of child abuse in police custody or the long history of sexual violence by cops, you’re hurting the Democrats in the next election.
Remember, both sides are the same.
Thumbing a picture of Jeffrey Epstein besides Bill Clinton and Donald Trump
Some weirdo said it in a place none of us ever go?
Might want to Google Fuentes. He’s a depressingly influential right wing figure.
Also Twitter continues to be one of the latest social media companies in the world.
glances at Windows 11
There’s been a real shift in Silicon Valley, from Squish Neoliberal International Markets And Raytheon Branded Pride Flags to Based Trad Horny Catholic Gymrat Nationalism.
A lot of it follows the Zuck/Bezos/Musk arc. Tim Poole is getting dragged along on the undertow.
But the Russia shit is mostly because Russia has followed along with American Conservativism while Ukraine has been painted as Neoliberal. So much of this isn’t Trump following Putin but Putin following the Kochs and the Mellons and Murdochs.
