Yeah and whos gonna stop him? It's not like he was doing something as horrible as condeming the Israelie slaughter of innocents, then maybe we could do something like hold a vote on how much we don't like him.

I dont believe voting does much, but I know refusing to vote doesn't do anything, I don't see why I wouldn't show up.

Not just GM, if you tried ro question the safety of these cars on even Lemmy before these revelations came out you would get brigaded by people claiming they were safer than humans statistically and thats all they needed to be in order to be acceptable.

Not a 'new' American Dream, just one of the extremely few American Dreams left.

So how much genocide in your opinion is okay to vote for under the suspicion that someone else might also do a genocide?

Because either you're admitting theres no way to vote ourselves out of genocide or that joes genocides is okay because someone else MAY also preside over genocide. Thats a new one, this genocide is acceptable because if it wasn't this, it would just be another genocide, do I have that right?

Im of the opinion that I cannot materially support genocide. Call it single issue voterism if you want but to me never again means never again, not never again unless maybe the someone else would also finance genocide. Having boundaries is healthy and just, and if genocide is only a soft boundary for someone then I place no value in what they have to say.

"Hello yes I'm your insurance agent, now before I read this decision to you, are you now or were you ever a lawyer? No? Okay denied get fucked L + ratio."

Republicans could call all jews the k word but as long as they still support Israel, they'd be fine, and probably get aipac donations for it.

The only thing lobbists like more than someone they already bribed and have on speed dail is someone who too old to realize they're being conned.

I think the sad fact is many people in the US are okay with financing genocide as long as they don't have to hear Trump's name or suffer any consequences personally. As long as some kind of right wing boogeymany exists, you can convince most democratic voters that genocide is permissable enough to not disqualify a candidate.

They're there to sheepdog the voters into believing progressive candidates a valued part of the democratic party despite the fact that more than most of the good things progressives have accomplished are entirely outside of the chambers of congress. The democrats refuse to work with progressives unless they are forced too, like that time the progressives asked Pelosi to consider stock trading bans and she denied them until it was clear that was horrible PR, then decided to come around to vocally supporting it later, once the political will to pass the bill was dying down. Progressives are there for show.

Most of his base likes him because he's a bad candidate. They have been trained by their chosen media to desire bad traits and cast uncertainty and doubt on good traits. They love him precisely because he is horrible. If there was a worse candidate than Trump, they'd vote for them instead. In fact many of these people who are already fed up with Trump are going right to RFK because they desire bad traits.

Lots of good people out that way, glad their voices are finally beating out the others. All the good people I've met there didn't hesitate to tell me about how many not so good people there are there too though.

Ohio is not an expensive place to move to comparatively, not yet anyway. I think this gives a lot of hope and options to people living around Ohio to move there for the safety and the grass. These two laws together, despite the GOPs best efforts, make Ohio an attractive option and the states gonna see growth as people and buisness take advantage of that.

Honestly, if Ohio let the people directly decide more often it would be a lot less rare.

Marcel Duchamp sends his regards. Gotta make sure he's the toilet king of the art world.

Metalheads stay winning. \M/

Was she the one that was in a metal band too? I swear I'm remembering that name.

Im gonna say the fact that biden is in the oval office as trump throws toddler tantrums in a courtroom shows the opposite.

I mean, I feel like it was easy for me to think you were. All I'm saying is if winning an election is the bar, then there's not many conclusions you can draw for the general that way since they've both won. The head to head is more important, as you've said. But still that doesn't mean Biden is a good candidate since the only time he won, in about half a dozen attempts, was against one of the worst candidates of all time. Biden is a better candidate than Trump sure, but so was Hillary and that didn't help her.

Fuck, now I'm more interested in finding that out than anything about the article.
