Does someone wanna argue this is showing up in the not-actually-people voting polls right now?

Holy shit the reporting on Trump's statements on Gaza is SO BAD. It ALL intimates that Trump is saying "stop killing Gaza" when what Trump is clearly ACTUALLY saying is "wipe them off the face of the planet faster".

No wonder low information voters are dipshits about this.

Loud motorcycles should be illegal, just like every loud engine should be illegal. If you don't have the spine to ride quiet, don't ride at all.

I like to follow rational lefties because I often get good news from them that I don't see even with my fairly left leaning, definitely not centrist set of stuff. But they seem to go off the rails at a fairly high rate.

Palestine has them jumping the shark at like 5x the normal rate, though.

Russian influence ops are just reveling in this shit.

Do the single issue palestine voters not read what Trump says he wants Bibi to do to Gaza? Do they not know that Kushner literally wants to raise gaza and replace it with israeli beach condos?

The American people have spoken. Voters overwhelmingly support a progressive policy agenda. Winning elections involves getting people out to vote. Not acting like Republicans. https://www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2024/4/29/much-of-congressional-progressive-caucus-agenda-popular-with-swing-state-voters

@RealJournalism yeah, but Biden is proving that doing good, popular things won't make people vote for you.

@qkslvrwolf@mastodon.social avatar

@jcriecke Agreed with the more nuanced version you have, although I think that those are the reasons that my version is broadly true. :-)

@grumble209 not all politicians are fascists. That's mostly just republicans. Monitor republicans.

qkslvrwolf,
@qkslvrwolf@mastodon.social avatar

@grumble209 I mean, it's "mostly democrats" if you ignore the entire Trump administration and the republicans in SCOTUS, but that seems like a weird choice.

qkslvrwolf,
@qkslvrwolf@mastodon.social avatar

@grumble209 Not to mention the fact that when a dem gets caught being corrupt, the dems are the first to go after them, but when a republican is corrupt they circle the wagons and scream they're the victims of a witch hunt.

let's not forget Santos, too.

qkslvrwolf,
@qkslvrwolf@mastodon.social avatar

@grumble209 And if you want to include "undermining democracy", as in trying to prevent people from voting, gerrymandering, and everything else under that umbrella as 'corruption', which I would, then uh...Republicans are winning by a lightyear.

Just look at the all the republican officials who get caught voting multiple times.

Every accusation is a confession with them.

@grumble209 Oh then there's the one sided judge shopping...

Which we can't really talk about without talking about their utter fuckery of stealing the judiciary.

@qkslvrwolf@mastodon.social avatar

@grumble209 So what have you done recently to get ranked choice in?

Political parties aren't a marriage, they're a bus. One of those buses is moving in the general directoin we want to go, and the other is driving into the middle of a saudi desert and lighting itself on fire.

Pretending "both sides" are the same is as culty as being a magat.

qkslvrwolf,
@qkslvrwolf@mastodon.social avatar

@grumble209 Also they stop when folks actually get indicted.

You have this weird notion that politicians should magically know everything about of their hundreds of colleagues and their staff.

They're still human.

Like competition works if you're a piece of shit.
But cooperation is usually the better option.

qkslvrwolf,
@qkslvrwolf@mastodon.social avatar

@Adam_Cadmon1 there's no context here but I think there's room for both. Competition with cooperative learning. Team stuff.

The problem is when competition trumps cooperation.

Adam_Cadmon1, to random
@Adam_Cadmon1@mastodon.online avatar

You don't need competition to be good but you need it if you're only motivated by profit.

qkslvrwolf,
@qkslvrwolf@mastodon.social avatar

@Adam_Cadmon1 I'd argue most of the profit ghouls have learned to cheat their way out of competing

qkslvrwolf,
@qkslvrwolf@mastodon.social avatar

@Adam_Cadmon1 are you taking this as mansplaining? Cause I can just enjoy your posts with out trying to engage, that's fine. It's an honest curiosity from me but I got no way to prove it and you got no reason to believe me.

Inspired by POSSE (https://indieweb.org/POSSE) (Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere), which I first heard about from Cory Doctorow, I'm experimenting with automation to convert posts tagged shortform (https://www.jeremykun.com/tags/shortform) into Mastodon threads (I'm mathstodon.xyz/@j2kun).

@j2kun @pluralistic oh. ma. gerd.

This is half of what I've been dreaming about forever.

The other half is the bidirectionality...in my dream world, I want this response (and any othrs) to show up as a comment stream when you hover this paragraph in your original blog. :-)

Great work!
