  • There is no data to suggest that protest non voters swung the results and some recent data from Pew that they did not.

    If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at Dems for choosing policies they knew in advance would supress turnout.

    But again, this election was neither free nor fair. Only those who engineered this coup are responsible for it.

  • Personally, I blame the murderous fascists.

    If we were a democracy then maybe it would make sense to blame the public. But our elections are a cesspit of corruption, vote buying, gerrymandering and rampant open illegality.

    The public have had little to no relevant say in who forms a government for a few decades at least, probably since the 70s. It makes no sense to blame the public.

  • That's more deaths than the Holocaust at a much early stage of fascism too. Of course that doesn't account for inflation - 6m dead is closer to 20m with today's total population.

    But have no fear, this republican regime will do everything in their power to surpass their idols.

  • It's an incredibly impressive feat, many will be glad to know the beaver is available.

  • This times a million. Nazis say some bullshit while trying to kill your grandma.

  • They're part of a cell style right wing terrorist organization. trump regime.

  • she was taken to the border at San Ysidro, where she was presented with self-deportation paperwork.

    "But when Juli refused to sign the paperwork, when Juli demanded to see a judge, when Juli demanded to speak to an attorney, she was punished," the attorney said. "She was taken back to an unmarked van along with other travelers who were also insisting on their rights, and taken to a warehouse where she was only given water. A warehouse where she was not given food. A warehouse, where men and women were held together. A warehouse without any law enforcement employee, without any official there present," he added.

    We're paying for this ethnic cleansing campaign. Tax dollars are going to abducting brown folks at gunpoint.

  • led crowds in chants of “free, free Palestine” and “death, death to the IDF” [The BBC said:] “The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable ... " [Starmer said:] “appalling hate speech.”

    "Free Palestine" is not antisemitic. Criticism of a nation state's armed forces is not antisemitic. Especially when those armed forces are objectively committing genocide.

  • America loses

    That's exactly what trump wants.

    A bag of big macs congealing on his desk, a victim of sex trafficking in his bed and some news on tv that will make putin happy.

  • Democratic elite shitting themselves at the prospect of winning an election.

    The Democratic establishment is seriously onsidering backing either a corrupt sex offender or a corrupt trump ally over an energetic, charismatic young candidate with a platform that enjoys majority support.

    The rich have two parties, people have none.

  • policies that support growth only exist to further empower the rich, such as deregulation and low taxes

    Fixed it for you, cnbc.

  • Their CEO elaborated: "Did I leave your grandma broke and freezing? Did I start a wildfire that burned your entire town? Come at me, please, so I personally watch you shot dead."

  • This is a death caused by tech companies' steadfast refusal to properly moderate their platforms. Humans are social primates and we will always have a strong reaction to our social environment.

  • Yeah I thought it was monopsony but my autocorrect gave me that incorrect spelling and I didn't bother to double check.

  • Actual farmers are usually held hostage by the agro-giants who buy their product. In most markets there's a Monoposony - like a monopoly but a single buyer who can set prices and terms, rather than a single seller.

    Industry behavior is driven by these companies who have all the power. They leave farmers with all of the risk and take all the profit for themselves.

  • "If a DSA member like Mamdani were to win ... it would be terrible for the city," reads the Third Way memo. "Do New Yorkers really want socialist city-run grocery stores?"

    According to an April survey by the Climate & Community Institute and Data for Progress, they do. Two-thirds of New Yorkers said they support the creation of municipal grocery stores ... including 72% of Democratic voters ... Third Way executive vice president Matt Bennett insisted in an interview with Politico on Saturday that a Mamdani victory would allow Republicans to attach the Democratic Party "to ideas that are outside of the mainstream" on a national level.

    Just classic establishment Dems here: attacking a wildly popular policy and supporting a corrupt sex offender to avoid fascists calling you a commie.

  • It's not the smoking of bare foot pets that's prohibited in the building, that's just silly. Bare foot pets just have to stay outside the building while smoking. And rightly so.

    If your pot bellied pig tries to go indoors without putting on shoes or putting out his cigarello first, that's on you for being a bad parent.

  • I prefer the original "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders"

    Is the lacking sophistication bit a reference I'm missing?
