"You either fight for a future or you don’t": Progressives get early jump on Democratic primaries

Jump

  • You mean the thing that every other functional country has managed to pull off just fine without the world ending?

    America brain has really done a number on you.

    • Puzzled CEOs struggle to navigate Trump’s new world

    Jump

  • Trump has been nothing other than exactly who he has portrayed himself as during the entirety of his political career.

    It's why I don't buy the "we were fooled" narrative. If you were fooled, you are either catastrophically stupid or you just don't pay attention. Probably both.

    He has spent an entire campaign talking very proudly about all the stupid shit he was going to do. If you somehow thought he was still playing an elaborate strategy, l don't even know where to start with you.

    • TIL About the Smoot-Hawley Act, Which was the 20% Across the Board Tariff That Deepened the Great Depression and Resulted in the Largest Senate Seat Loss in History

    Jump

  • And then the conservative brain worms convinced him to support the people who did it again.

    • Quebec government introduces bill to combat disinformation and interference in elections

    Jump

  • Look to your neighbors in the south for an example of what happens if you don't take steps to combat this.

    • Are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

    Jump

  • The preponderance of flagrant double standards in moderation policies did it in for me. I deleted a 14 year old account when it became clear that there was going to be a clear effort on behalf of reddit's corporate leadership to push bullshit narratives and purge anyone who spoke up about it. I figured it was only a matter of time before someone invented a reason to ban me.

    Turns out I don't even miss it.

    • California to negotiate trade with other countries to bypass Trump tariffs

    Jump

  • The Trump administration has demonstrated that the constitution doesn't really matter. Why keep pretending like this is some sort of sacred immutable text? The spell has been lifted.

    • Trump demands France ‘free Marine Le Pen’

    Jump

  • Big mad at functioning countries who can hold criminals accountable.

    • One in five Americans want their state to secede and join Canada: Poll

    Jump

  • I'll offer you the state of New York. You can have the tax base of NYC. I'm sure most of New England minus New Hampshire would be down with this.

    • Rand Paul Fears Trump Tariffs Could Mean 1930s-Style Republican Wipeout: ‘We Lost the House and Senate for 60 Years’

    Jump

  • Rand Paul deserves to be wiped out with the rest of them.

    • CTV Cancelled a Fact-Checking Segment in Response to Political Pressure From Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives

    Jump

  • Get in their faces and never fucking move, Canada. Keep fascists marginalized and weird at any cost.

    • Trump admin accidentally sent man to Salvadorian prison and can’t get him back

    Jump

  • To be fair, they don't appear to actually know how anything works.

    • Who is your oldest "hear me out" that you can remember from childhood?

    Jump

  • So this is how furries happened isn't it?

    • F/A-XX? More like F-14X

    Jump

  • The last F-14s are begging for death in Iran. Don't desecrate their corpses.

    • Yes. Pitter patter!

    Jump

  • What else are they going to do with those ass loads of uranium deposits?

    • If infowar "veterans" get a coin what do noncredible defence veterans get?

    Jump

  • The tip of something else.

    • Putin to conscript 160,000 more Russians for war with Ukraine

    Jump

  • Ukraine is about nearly 10x Vietnam at this point.

    Hell, Russia experienced a Vietnam level of loss in about 2 months during the Avdiivka offensive.

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • What this ultimately amounts to is the worst actors using a blanket justification to carry out revenge fantasies against whatever marginalized group they're fixated on.

    If you happen to be part of any of these marginalized groups, now would be the time to get armed and get dangerous. It would be great if we lived in a functioning society where this wasn't necessary, but the failure of so many of our institutions is slowly rewinding our social fabric back to wild west times.

    • Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow?

    Jump

  • If you're really going to sit here and pretend that none of the things I mentioned play a clear and obvious role in our current situation, I don't even know where to start with you.

    • Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow?

    Jump

  • Just ignored the entire first part of that, didn't you champ?

    • American invasion of Canada would spark decades-long insurgency, expert predicts

    Jump

  • If conservatives ever get insane enough to actually try anything like that, understand that a fair amount of that hypothetical insurgency will be happening on the American side of the border as well. A lot of people who live near the border have a lot of Canadian ties. They would effectively consider any military action taken against Canada to be an attack on them.
