Someone once said the bottom to me nearly verbatim for questioning the Iraq war. My grandmother once asked me if I wanted to go to hell because I laughed at Bush Jr fumbling his words.
We’ve been there for a lot longer than people are willing to admit.
How has the genocide gotten worse? They just seem to be doing the same exact shit the Biden admin was doing, right down to planning to parcel out Gaza to American companies. The course has held if anything, and Harris certainly wasn’t trying to distance herself from that plan. If you voted for her, you were okay that happening just with different people benefitting.
She may not have kidnapped a foreign head of state but they had no problem killing Venezuelan citizens with economic sanctions, the immiseration caused by this blamed on Maduro and used as part of the justification for the coop Trump executed. They were literally building a casus belli to do this themselves, or at least creating the conditions for a domestic coop they could fund and arm.
Edit: if anything Trump’s inept execution of the coop has left a power vacuum that could be filled by someone who isn’t a US sock puppet, unlike that Nobel Prize winner the dems were probably grooming as Maduro’s successor.
This man may be the inspiration for the joke “If you give a Democrat politician three wishes they’d negotiate down to one and then wish for something they think Republicans would like”
I’m sorry that the violence you were okay with happening overseas has come home to roost but I don’t think that makes Kamala morally superior in any way. If this upsets you I suggest you reflect on your complicity with genocide.
On March 13, 2024, the United States House of Representatives passed the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA) with largely bipartisan support from Democratic and Republican representatives.[21][22] It would ban operations related to the app completely within the country unless ByteDance makes a qualified divestiture as determined by the US president.
It’s is explicitly government censorship and the power to do this was granted to the president by a bill passed under and signed by Biden (just before they lost the election)
Hey you know what would be a great idea? What if we go and give the executive wide ranging unilateral censorship powers just before the election against the outright fascist we’re projected to lose to? We could stop all those pesky kids from crying about our genocide!
I'm sorry the only way you know how to write code is with an LLM holding your hand, but I believe if you really devote yourself to it you could learn to be a real programmer. Good luck!
Any time you point this out some lib who’s never heard of the concept of party discipline will worm their way out of the hole they’ve buried their head into to tell you about how great it is that there’s such a diversity of opinions in the democrat party and unfortunately that means sometimes they just can’t get everyone to agree. Infuriating zealots.
I wish them luck but I have serious doubts about the effectiveness of a single day general strike. You could optimistically expect maybe 20% of people to even participate and without them coordinating with their coworkers or with a broader movement to target specific industries it’s basically just like calling in sick.
a lot of the big names in image generation fingerprint the images they output to make them easy to filter out of training data. theres a possibility they could detect this fairly easily.
Okay? They’re still not funding Russia though. We shouldn’t support Russia’s genocide. Does this satisfy you?
