The election is coming up in… now… We’ve had 4, 6, 8, yrs depending on the goal. I don’t think anything just is happening in the next 251 days. I’m very afraid. And the left wing protest vote to elect Trump is such an irrational concept that the fact they believe is reasonable to any extent, already killing future votes of bystanders today, that I don’t put it past them to be irrational and hand him Michigan and others on a platter.
I’m a socialist. For 30 years. An actual activist IRL. Beaten by cops for the first time at age 12, tear gassed multiple times, led protests in NYC, yadda yadda. Sorry, you called out the wrong Internet stranger. There’s no y’all. I’m who you believe you are. I want what you purport to want. I also think your personal world view is not grounded in reality and reflects mental illness not that far off from the orange cult. Zero sum game.
The party taking women’s agency and promoting fascism is worse than the party that is not. And if you cared about women, trans kids, black people, Muslims, refugees, LGBTQIA+ people, educators, healthcare workers, unionists, any person of color or member of any out group, you’d prioritize protecting them.
Who are you to sacrifice all those people for your ideological screeching about how you wish things were without any actual plan in mind to improve things?
Explain yourself. Don’t whataboutism. Respond to the above. I don’t think you can. You’re selfish. You don’t give a shit about other people. You’re a loud snowflake troll. I know because I used to be you. Then I grew up and thought about the actual people around me, not the ideological ones I pretended to fight for.
What are you doing to protect your community besides proudly electing a government that stands for its demise, and the demise of your comrades? Seriously, I’m asking.
Four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump has been successfully selling white Christian nostalgia, racism and xenophobia to his base. However, the Public Religion Research Institute’s massive poll of 6,616 participants suggests that what works with his base might pose an insurmountable problem with Gen Z teens and Gen...
Yeah that % gap left a lot of room for independents, and I’m worried they continue to lean right amongst youth and we’re underestimating kids on tiktok doing their own research on vaccines, and why “the Dems are as bad as the GOP”
Chaperoned a trip to a science museum recently and you can feel the shyness/weariness of the little girls to show their excitement. The boys run around doing the fuck they want bc “boys will be boys” as usual.
The marginalized groups were always marginalized. By definition they can only become not marginalized (e.g. women voting, repealing Jim Crowe, marriage equality).
What are you doing each day when you’re not on your keyboard? The party represents the constituents. People are naive to the zero sum game stakes at hand. So they vote themselves into DNC positions. They’re just people. Like you and me.
Same age. In NYC it was skaters and ravers. I’d imagine any major metro is going to have more counter culture people. Especially back then vs now, when culture didn’t have the same Internet pathways to diffuse so quickly geographically.
No. I live near a lot of them. I hate you offline too. So do my friends and colleagues. Believe me.
There are more Musk fan douchebags IRL than Lemmy, yes. That doesn’t mean you’re not a fucking loser supporting a neo Nazi who scams the government for my tax payer dollars. You knowingly bought a truck designed to kill humans instead of crumpling. You’re trash big dog.
Have you considered people like me aren’t flipping you off as overtly as the loser fanboys approach you?
If I see you on the road, I 100% will cut you off, not let you in, skip ahead at stop signs, slow down so you get red light tickets.
Next time that happens, consider whether it’s bc what you’re driving, not the other person’s habits.
Never thought I’d root for big auto to take point on electric vehicles, but anything is better than supporting that dick bag.
