What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine?

Jump

  • Both claims are debatable.

    Do you think things won't get worse under trump? Or do you think some 50,000 dead a year is the worst Israel can do?

  • Kid, you should try reading things by actual, paid journalists, who aren't just contributors to free online "news" sources.

    Or good books.

  • Lol, I keep joking to people that my side is dumb enough to believe the two are equal on that and every day one of y'all proves me right.

  • Vote Harris... Wait. Damnit.

    • So like what if over 100 million US people just march together and decide they don't feel like dealing with the few politicians BS anymore instead of complaing and pretending voting fixes issues?

  • I think you meant to respond to op, but I pretty much agree with what you wrote.

  • We can't even get more progressives than moderates/centrists to the Democratic primaries so I'd be pretty surprised to see even half that show up for something radical.

    • What are some one liner comments or quotes you read that have stuck with you for years?

    Jump

  • No one can change everything but everyone can change something.

    • How do Americans win their country back?

    Jump

  • Talk and gasp befriend those with whom we disagree.

    • This can't be real can it?

    Jump

  • The fact that not one comment thus far has grappled with "we might just not be as popular as the republicans" is kind of telling.

    We either write of slightly more than half the country or figure out a way to win them over.

    (Admittedly, there's a slim chance where we rack up very specific sets of votes but I haven't seen anything to make that a reasonable bet.)

    • CNN calls Florida for Trump

  • Well, I for one, make it rule to always trust someone whose sources are "trust me bro" !

  • Why do you think it's moderation?

    And why on Earth would you think Lemmy doesn't skew young?

    • CNN calls Florida for Trump

    Jump

  • I don't think it's moderation. I think people are genuinely less capable these days at processing news with which they disagree.

    That and I think Lemmy skews young, I bet a lot of folks here don't know anyone socially who would vote for trump.

  • Stop thinking with your feelings and how you wish things were Lemmy.

    That's kinda how things work here/online. Did you not notice how every poll with trump up was downvoted to oblivion?

    • Hey Lemmy, where are you watching the results?

    Jump

  • CBC/BBC/Al Jazeera, checking the Economist for my minute by minute bellweather county level fun.

    • Uncomfortable Nikki Haley backers weigh their options with Election Day looming

  • Harris: Please no one else call them garbage, please God don't let anyone else call them garbage.

    • Is it offensive for me as a man to dress as a male version of a female fictional character for Halloween?'

  • Ha, never heard or thought of trans Rowling but if I knew Harry Potter better I'd be damned tempted.

    • Any substitute chat chairs/pads to replace the admittedly warm computer?

    Jump

  • Ohhhh good point, thanks! She's still fairly mobile (though not as agile a jumper as she once was, which she gets angry about, loudly) but that's a great thing to remember!

    • Any substitute chat chairs/pads to replace the admittedly warm computer?

    Jump

  • Ha, totally fair. I really hate SQL server's dark mode options though and as I work through a few frustrating networks, I like just being plugged directly in, without screwing around with a better IDE.

    But I'm an uncouth savage who uses f.lux as the day wears on.

    • White House seeks to contain damage from Biden ‘garbage’ remarks

    Jump

  • Except for example, of the quarter of Latinos who had supported trump last election but maybe this time were wavering, the sitting president just called them garbage. Probably not ideal for someone considering voting for your party.

  • Sounds like a great plan, hadn't even considered they might have something like that! Thanks!
