  • If you are demanding everyone vote for the people bypassing Congress to send more bombs to the obviously grotesque war criminal country, people are gonna think you support them, because you are.

  • classic blue maga behavior - any structural critique must be met with tribal-style ad hom: "yeah well you probably just support kang instead of kodos."

  • Republicans are worse than democrats in general, but on this issue they really are the same.

    It's frustrating how shitty Republicans can be and yet Democrats still insist on adopting all their positions and getting endorsed by them.

  • If you look at the x axis it may not be new to the fossils running our government, but it's new to anyone under 40, Harris massively underperforming with young people is pretty directly that.

  • I don't have a citation for you of Kamala saying exactly that- but yeah that was more a Biden line.

  • One of the frustrations was that they would be talking about how the economy was doing great... if you were a homeowner. The inflation was also in things like rent which they have no intent on really addressing, but disproportionately gets omitted from broader stats regarding inflation despite people getting $500+ rent increases shortly after the end of the COVID eviction protections.

  • Blank check? they already had one and have been bypassing Congress to fund them already under Biden

  • The origins of “the far left” (as I understood it) was basically promoting heavy government involvement. For example, breaking up monopolies, many government subsidied programs for it’s people, which in turn needs higher taxes for it people (so the rich get taxed more, the poor get taxed less).

    People on the far left were actually interested in expropriation of private property and a more egalitarian distribution of those resources and decisionmaking. They also wanted actual democracy (as in power to the people) rather than Democracy™ where it's only for a handful of the population who aren't getting actively disenfranchised.

    If you nationalize industries you get to use the profits directly, rather than messing around with taxes after the fact.

  • Democrats deserve contempt for supporting a genocide trying to win at electoralism and still losing.

  • being taken seriously is like the last thing I want. The FBI agent assigned to me might have to actually do something.

  • Ironically “But Trump” is what got you Trump.

    It's actually got us Trump twice now.

  • trolly

    I hate to break it to you, but Democrats are also genocidal and through a combination of their policies and incompetence (charitable reading) created the situation which led to trump getting elected. Twice.

    Here's what actually works for getting a trolley to stop running over people:

  • Agreed, though that's also why I don't think anyone is expecting the EU to be particularly helpful either

  • The point is that the US was never really helping the people of gaza, just enabling the people murdering them.

  • support for the cause has been trending among young women voters who are vowing to swear off men.

    hell yeah

  • Remember when Joe Biden had them make an "aid pier" that was only really used to launch a massacre from before it collapsed?

    Americans, the bombs getting used to vaporize the children of Gaza are paid for with your taxes.

  • Imagine if the Democrats hadn't supported the genocide every step of the way, they might have lost all 3 branches of government.

  • Rules for life (abbreviated):

    • Never go to a second location
    • Always get the interior ministry post
    • Never get in a helicopter
    • If someone with a gun enters your car, they’re gonna kill you
    • If someone tells you they’re not going to kill you, they’re calming you down to kill you later
    • Never give up your nukes
  • I think we can safely say trans people would have been safer under the Dems.

    Unless they're Palestinian, in which case it's open season.

    You helped get trump elected, even if indirectly. Third party voters are essentially what allowed him to win.

    If you added every third party vote to Democrats in swing states they would still have lost by a large margin. Democrats were the ones who let the COVID-era mail in voting end because they were so hard for ending COVID money to people. Seems like a self-own.
