  • Americans ‘dumbfounded by cruelty’ of Trump officials slashing SNAP benefits

    Jump

  • Harris received 6.8 million votes fewer than Biden received in 2020. Even assuming every single one of those 6.8 million votes were SNAP recipients, you're essentially saying that 42 million people deserve to go hungry because 3 in 20 (or around 16%) of them chose not to vote in 2024.

    Moreover, DJT only received 2.8 million more votes in 2024 than he did in 2020. So let's assume all 2.8 million of those were SNAP recipients, and then let's assume SNAP recipients entirely determined the election result. 2.8 million + 6.8 million voters is about 22% of all SNAP recipients (or about 1 in 5).

    Never mind the fact that around 39% of SNAP recipients are children (i.e. unable to vote).

    So 2 children and 3 adults deserve to go hungry if 1 of the adults either doesn't vote or votes for the wrong person?

    Do you realize how incredibly fucking insane you sound?

  • Poll: Views of capitalism slip, but socialism is still unpopular as Zohran Mamdani gains prominence

    Jump

  • That's misleading and deliberately misses the commenter's point. The DSA explicitly rejects authoritarian models of socialism (USSR, DPRK, etc).

    The red-scare-fueled conflation of democratic socialism with basically Stalinism is largely what drives the general disfavorability of "socialism" in these sorts of opinion polls.

    It's not like people were asked, "Do you favor ordinary people having a real voice in their workplaces, neighborhoods, and society? Do you favor a higher minimum wage, universal health care (Medicare for All), strengthening labor unions, and increasing the power of working people while weakening the power of corporations?"

    People broadly support those things, but would very likely hesitate to call that democratic socialism (which, spoiler: those are the DSA's core tenets).

  • As Barack Obama stumps for other Democrats, the party gets to see what it lost

  • “I will admit it’s worse than even I expected, but I did warn y’all!” The crowd at a sports arena in Norfolk, Virginia, half-laughed and half-groaned.

    Told who exactly? What a wild thing to say in Norfolk—where the surrounding cities (Norfolk included) overwhelmingly voted Harris in 2020.

    Voters told YOU (and the DNC) to back someone other than Biden, and YOU didn't listen until it was way too late. If anyone fumbled the election, it's the folks who had Biden's ear and said nothing.

    "I told you so" smug assed energy—get the fuck outta here and say that to Michiganders or Pennsylvanians, you tone deaf dickhead.

    The way some people throw themselves all over this man...

  • Unmarked, Plate-Less Vehicles Seen in ICE Arrests Across U.S., Report Finds: 'The Agency Clearly Wants to Appear Like a Ghost'

  • Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs

    Jump

  • They're not acting against their users, it's just that non-enterprise consumers are a complete afterthought. I.e. less of a "fuck you" to individual consumers and more of a "who the fuck do you think you are?".

    Why market or design an OS for individual consumers when the majority of your revenue is going to come from volume licensing by manufacturers that are fulfilling bulk purchases from corporate America/higher-ed?

  • Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs

    Jump

  • I don't think it's AI aversion. The problem is that Windows 11 guts the muscle memory that older consumers have built up from using prior generations of Microsoft Windows.

    If a company is going to dick me over by suddenly changing/hiding/abstracting-away parts of their OS that I used to (an am used to) use on a daily basis, then I'd rather relearn a new OS from a company that doesn't have the track record of totally redoing their entire OS in the course of a single OS generation.

    If I also have a little bit more disposable income and am anticipating a poor economic downturn, I'm going with the device that I can go to a physical brick-and-mortar place and have it serviced as opposed to the crap shoot that is any other Windows-licensed manufacturer's device.

    So it's "hostage taking" when you're the ones getting leveraged?

    Countdown until Repubs start chanting "free the hostages!" in reference to the American people... 🙄

  • BREAKING: Israeli authorities have beaten Greta Thunberg, made her kiss Zionist flag

  • Although I disagree, my point was more so a rhetorical one about the cynical/skeptical people chiming in to assert an absurdly high bar for people to clear in order for any concern about the current state of affairs in Israel to merit attention.

  • And Greta isn't the only person claiming that they did awful, abusive, hateful things. Chris Smalls got it, too.

    Chris Smalls gave a chilling interview with Amy Goodman where he basically said that the Israelis treated him worse than he's been treated in his entire life as a black man in America. That's saying a lot.

    The full interview.

  • That commenter said "we", not "I".

    Are you saying that we—collectively—don't bear any democratic responsibility for the people that we elect to office? Or are you cynically implying that the original poster has no power over the situation?

    I don't get the sense that you're trying to attack that person, but what do you gain from public displays of cynicism to remind people that they are powerless?

    If nothing then please reconsider. 🙁
