Congrats, the dems passively let a decades old tradition of passively supporting Israel go mildly unchanged and the idiots let a genocide accelerationist into power. Not stopping a genocide is not the same as accelerating it.
Apologies it was supposed to be a link to the lemmy post of this screenshot not just the image, because there were enough people who were complaining about biden's policy but conveniently ignoring trumps genocide accelerationist policy on the post itself. Seems like the copy link button on jerboa is a bit funky.
Here's one right here. I'll keep going back through my comment history because I've interacted with quite a few "progressives" who found Biden's policy to be inadequate were ok with Trump's genocide policy nothing to worry about.
It's a combination of everything, DNC has been spineless and bought out by corps, voter suppression techniques from Republicans skewed votes in their favor, white rural voters came out in droves to vote for trump, the Harris campaign failure to meaningfully address the genocide or get enough messaging out to address people's financial troubles.
Historically far right authoritarians have been surprisngly good at aesthetics and wrapping their shit ideology in aesthetics. The nazis had Hugo Boss for designing their uniforms. Their propagandists created visual language for films we still use today. They were evil bastards who made it look appealing to the regular citizen.
Not op, yeah do don't really expect someone notnto be anonymous, but we're also jaded to all these anonymous insiders making a big reveal confirming what we all already assume is happening in the admin and... just nothing happens. It's just another news story to go between the feel good story of orphans being saved from the orphan crushing machine and "is this highly corrosive industrial solvent coming out of your faucets? More at 11" in the news cycle.
American police do not exist to protect the populace, and this isn't just some philosophical "they act unethically a lot" thing, this is established by the Supreme Court that police have no duty to protect and serve despite it being emblazoned on everything. American police are at their core publicly funded private security for the assets of the wealthy and act as tools of harassment against anyone who would defy the wealthy.
Anyone who becomes a cop in the US is a class traitor. They become part of an apparatus of harm against the common person, every time a cop does something illegal, or every time the buddies look the other way, or lie about events on reports, it all contributes to a system of harm.
How to handle class traitors who've also been hurt by the system they uphold... I don't know... I 100% get not wanting to trust someone who participated in and furthered the harms done by cops, but, in being ideologically consistent, I also get that all people in the ideal society I'd like to see are given the opportunity to make amends and restore their position in society.
It's been that way for well over a decade, probably based on the vibe of Morpheus breaking the illusion of the Matrix to Neo without actually quoting it correctly.
The schadenfreude is delicious seeing class traitors get shafted by the upper class, but at the end of the day trump has his extralegal brownshirts now.
Lolok sure whatever you say, let's just ignore that day 1 trump reversed the sanctions on Israel placed by Biden to reduce the amount of weapons and money going to Israel for their genocide effort.
Man imagine trying to blame the previous guy for everything baf and ignore the new guy making everything worse. God it must be entertaining to live in whatever fake reality you have set up. At this point nothing, I say will lead to a fruitful good faith conversation. Hope your day is as pleasant as you are.
Never said biden didn't support israel's genocide, just pointing out that the new guy is already undoing all the meager attempts to slow the genocide from the previous guy.
Canceling Biden's sanctions on Israel letting them have the funding they want to continue their genocide reeeeealy sounds like doing the opposite of "ending a genocide more than Joe did."
Them being in space really is the only comparison. I wouldn't expect to see something like Let That Be Your Last Battlefield to feel like a good Star Wars story in the same way that I wouldn't expect Riker and Picard to fight each other with laser swords atop planetary Mt Doom while screaming their feelings at each other after 2 movies of building up their relationship.
Yeah, I suppose when I try to address all of OP's bot bait lines like I did, it sounds like a disjointed AI generation. I suppose we're in a day and age where AI generation really is that nearly indistinguishable from real people to the average person. I'm sure there's plenty of times I've been duped by AI generated text.
Still if it was a bot, it probably would have been an immediate response instead of something that showed up an hour after OP posted. And this comment wouldn't have been posted almost 30 min after your response to me.
As much as I want to agree, not really, straight up racism and sexism drove racist and sexisf rural white voters to the polls and a failure to adequately address the genocide in Gaza dissuaded more progressive voters from turning out.
Authoritarian governments are never good
Again authoritarian governments are never good.
Once again, authoritarian governments are never good.
You're right, the DNC should be working to expand voter protections and ensure that freedom is protected and it sucks they're bought out by corps.
