It’s sad how astonished I am to read about this. It’s weird enough that there are some countries that require the news to present factual information, but to require truth from politicians seems way too right to ever become a real thing.
Agreed. The man is a massive pile of shit.
Nah, we all knew it was the last time because someone got a car.
You’re so right.
Your candidate definitely isn’t also showing very public signs of cognitive decline.
Gotta enjoy these headlines while they last.
Come November we’re probably going to have an openly fascist president, but no matter who wins, we’re going to have a president who can’t form a coherent sentence.
It’s a shame our Federal Government only really represents investors and war profiteers, and kind of just ignore the problems of the poor and middle class.
Well, here in America, both major parties support Israel 100%. My assumption would be that, since most people who are into politics here are either Democrat or Republican, it’s easier to remain silent when you learn about our allies committing war crimes rather than tacitly admit you will support it by voting for these same people again later this year.
Exactly.
I canceled my sub when I got the email. I’m going to pirate anything I want to see from them from now on.
In America, you only have two choices. If you vote for something other that democrats or liberals, your vote is literally wasted.
That logic is why we are where we are. A 40-year loss of personal and economic liberty, because you and yours refuse to see the two parties for what they are.
I’ll vote Green. You should too.
I can’t begin to imagine what you’re experiencing.
The only thought I have is that you should do something to record how you feel, whether it’s writing your thoughts down or recording a video.
Something like that.
No. My life kicks ass and I’m luckier than most.
I do wish I could time travel and give my former teachers some advice, like the one who let me do a third grade science project on the Loch Ness Monster but didn’t in any way try to teach me skepticism.
I bet there’s probably a video somewhere of Jim Cramer’s stupid face calling this stupid face the next Warren Buffett or something.
But the R’s cannot win. On this we can all agree.
I’m already planning on their win. The historical trends point that way. Of course they won’t call themselves fascist. Their political PR people will come up with a better name, but they’re going to win, whether it’s Desantis or Trump.
And people are going to blame us DemSocs for it and not themselves.
The time to stop this was when Obama had a supermajority, and all he did with it was make health care even more expensive.
That’s the thing.
I voted Biden in full knowledge very little would change because I thought we needed a cultural win against the rise of fascism here in the US.
Unfortunately, mostly through inaction, he’s aided its rise considerably. Most Americans are working multiple jobs to survive now, and housing is growing more scarce and expensive, and their grocery bills are still doubled or tripled. Trump is not going to have to lie about how bad the Biden presidency has been for the poor and middle class, and voters aren’t going to give a shit if someone’s a Nazi if they are the candidate of change.
Then, there’s social issues, like guns, or being unwilling to challenge Israeli genocide, or abortion, or police militancy, that are inextricably linked to fascism, and he’s done nothing to move the needle forward in a positive way. In fact, when Roe repeal was leaked, the Democrats used it to raise funds and nothing else, even though they had the presidency and Congress.
Long story short, I don’t know that I consider Biden a pragmatic alternative at this point. While he’s been laser-focused on sending more of our money to the war budget and keeping his embarrassing offspring out of prison, workers have suffered.
The biggest plus here is that Biden’s neglect of workers here in the US has gotten so bad its forced unions to become stronger.
I also think Hillary would’ve been a great president for real, so no one likes me either.
A lot of people think Biden is a great president, which shows you just how low the bar is these days. FDR had a literal plot on his life and still had the balls to rule as a socialist, and he was so popular he ended up the longest-serving president in US history.
Negative, Ghost Rider.
Both Republicans and Democrats enthusiastically work together to keep us off the ballot and silenced in the media, and that includes federated media.
Dems get particularly upset when you point out the realities of Biden’s America for the working class.
I’m a Democratic Socialist so pretty much everyone hates me when I offer my opinions.
With that said, I love Lemmy.
No algorithm and no ads means I get far more positive than negative interactions on average.
This is gonna be so good. I loved the first season.
