Well pal, we both lost, but at least I didnt sell out my humanity in the process like you did. Have fun living with that.

Theres rules, Bob. They arent optional. As a defendent you follow those rules.

well maybe if the dems didnt run a half assed pro war crimes, anti-peasant campaign we wouldnt have lost the election? Hey maybe you could talk to them about that for us? They wont talk with progressives beyond just demanding we do whatever they say without question.

oh you're right bud, committing a racist genocide and ethnic cleansing of tens of thousand is "not perfect".

Insightful commentary, well done.

A handful of lemmy mods are now just as bad as reddit mods. It didnt used to be that way.

yes, when musk bought twitter it was well over half bots already and trending badly-- and traffic in general was going down as well. It cant have gotten better when he gutted the moderation and security teams. Its basically worthless.

genocide has sped up.

Check your murder numbers, so far thats just not true. You might be right long term, but the vast bulk of the genocide of civilians based on their ehtnicity happened on Bidens watch. And your couching those words the way you did shows you are in denial about it. You think "our side" must be "the good guys" where the 'slightly better' outcomes happen.

All dem voters were betrayed and thats a big part of why the lefty Dem voters are extremely angry and are revolting against centrist leadership and the fundamentals of our party setup. They have very good reasons to be angry. It would be a good start for the party to acknowledge that betrayal, apologize, and state unequivocally they wont do that again. Until that happens this wound will sit and fester, and more elections that should be slam dunks will be lost-- assuming we have any more.

You cant just dust over genocide and pretend its not there. Enough of us are well past helping you pretend thats the case. Thats my definition of accelerationism, and its not up for your approval.

What you describe sure lookss like the big donors for the DNC define your reality for you and you lap it up dutifully. There has to be more than that. If there isnt then we need to create it, or tear this system down.

You have no proof at all that Harris would have saved a single life more. And rooting the influence of foreign religious fundamentalist fascist zionists out of the democratic party is absolutely a worthwhile goal. If both sides are genociders as you acknowledge, then lets root AIPAC out so our side is not genociders. What do you say?

I'm ok with ageism because age related problems are very real and science tells us they get bad at about 60 or so. This is not about a bias, its about a fact of our existence. But lots of people want to conflate ageism with other forms of bias like sexism or racism. They arent the same at all.

Let me ask you, do you think 110 year olds should be allowed to operate semi trucks or fly planes? Of course you dont. Why not?

I'm in my mid 50s and I and everyone I know will acknowledge that mid 50s individuals dont have the depth of stamina to draw on that we used to have. Sure we can still occasionally run circles around the better resourced youngins with some finesse and tricks, but only to a point-- we aren't likely to win as many large energy expenditure activities on average, physically or mentally. Thats just life. And what I am talking about here accelerates right about at 60. Its been well studied.

A distraction from what, the pudding cup before naptime? Or his latest speech supporting genocide?

She's almost certainly doing it for a good reason. If you love her then trust her, damnit.

I dont know why a whitehouse spokesman who worked with a regime charged with racist war crimes thinks they have anything to say to anybody. She did her dirty war criminal deeds and lies to get the notoriety she so desperately needed. Now if she could piss off forever with the rest of Bidens staff, thatd be best.

I think everyone who has met him thinks he's just a shallow arsehole.

well .. do better?

Thought exercise: the US government has greatly enabled the Gaza genocide. If another 9/11 happened in the US and it was attributed to Palestinians, would anyone feel like we weren't all reaping exactly what we've sown? Or that it was at all unfair? I cant imagine newscasters would be analyzing "why did they attack us?"

Yeah looking at those questions-- If someone asked me if I was "liberal" of "very liberal" I would object to being called liberal at all. Liberal just means centrist anymore.

Good news though, Trump is absolutely destroying the dollar so soon we'll all need wheelbarrows to carry around our worthless piles of US dollars.

fair point.

Companies in the US fire employees with no notice all the time. They dont want some angry person around who knows they are only around for a short time.
