  • ‘It will be harder on us’: Palestinians weigh up impact of Trump election win

    Jump

  • if you honestly believe that's the future of the us, you should probably leave the country

    you should probably have been planning to leave the country for the last three months, since the election never went more than 60% in harris' favor

  • being angry at voters who didn't vote the way you wanted them to isn't going to actually achieve anything, though

    harris didn't even win the popular vote. it wasn't even a particularly close election. you can't not blame the dnc after a defeat like this.

  • Like, what "leeway" does Kamala have to say anything different than she already has, which she could shift to?

    a significant enough chunk of her voter base credibly withholding a vote based on a desired policy change would force a shift toward that desired policy change

    i'd say biden's platform in 2020 was significantly more left-wing than clinton's in 2016

    But that was then, and this is now.

    this is the same "it's too late" or "it's too unprecedented" or whatever you want to pick that was exactly the justification for biden being kept in as long as he was

    I think it really does show voting not for a 3rd party but voting for the other side b/c "bOtH sIdEs ArE tHe SaMe" (the title of the post), specifically wrt genocide.

    people the post targets aren't voting red. they're just not voting at all, or voting third party. it's an argument to a position held by an insignificant fraction of the left-anti-harris crowd.

    it doesn't address the core issue they have. they'd say that continuing to vote for the least-bad party is the reason both parties are bad, and that at a certain point you have to attempt to force a more radical change.

  • they're not suggesting a third party candidate can win

    they're suggesting that the democratic platform can shift

  • anybody on the left withholding their vote at this point fundamentally disbelieves in a system with exactly two discrete options, so this type of post doesn't persuade anybody

  • don't come crying to me when your bullets go up so much they do a full loopdeloop and shoot you in the back of your head because you tried to fire them on the moon where there's no gravity

  • The M2 Browning is still in use in space.

    Jump

  • Bullets don’t inherently go up when fired

    yeah because of gravity

    get rid of all the gravity and they'll go straight up

  • The M2 Browning is still in use in space.

    Jump

  • no because without gravity to pull them back down your bullets would just keep going up and up and over whatever you're trying to hit

  • Hackers acting as if they're doing a public service by bringing down a free publicly accessible tool is a new level of assbackwardness.

    are the zendesk hackers the same as the ones who brought down the website initially?

  • giving somebody a gift card for a product or service you think they specifically will enjoy is objectively more personal than giving them cash, yes
