At least their “centrists” match our “centrists” so now we can have apples-to-apples comparisons

If anything, at least more people see the blatant hypocrisy, now more than ever.

the lemmyverse is one of the most progressive social media platform that has ever existed; but messages like this are banned if they come from some instances and brigaded away from existence with dog whistled moderator & admin support on the largest lemmyverse instance, lemmy.world, and yet no one on lemmy.world sees the blatant hypocrisy

i keep regretting donating to this guy’s campaigns more and more every year.

Progressive politics requires a window of opportunity between when things are so bad that people fall through the cracks and things being good enough to pretend that there are no cracks.

All macron has to do is wait and he will be justified in his machinations to disenfranchise the left and embrace the right

Those who shifted left last time might shift back having shown their discontent.

That’s why he’s doing it. He’s hoping that voters become so disillusioned with the left at their inability to do anything due to macron blocking them that they’ll vote moderate or right there next time around.

He’s right and time is on his side; he simply needs to run out the clock

That’s probably why Macron started intriguing with the far right ever since the beginning; to ensure a united front between the center and the far right.

russia uses defenestration as a power move knowing that no one will stop them; meanwhile texas uses rubber stamped warrants.

i intentionally do middling-at-best work on projects that i don’t like so that i’m never asked to perform them again nor join meetings about it; and i think my mostly empty calendar reflects the effectiveness of my strategy.

she’s beating trump by a spread that’s smaller than the margin of error and rfk’s poll numbers are several fold larger than those margins.

we already know that that’s enough to guarantee that trump will win 3 out of the 7 battleground states; add to that michigan’s uncommitted voters and that makes 4 out of the 7 battle ground states that kamala is going to lose.

jesus christ! i think i’m done with the internet for today.

Yes he has and it’s the clearest indication that he hasn’t evolved at all on social issues; good riddance.

– the day after they sent $20 million in bombs to use in the genocide

they’re going to send another shipment and the day after they’re going to say that it needs to stop again.

it’s cliche but true: 1984 was an instruction manual.

this sounds like biden’s speech to the convention; he kept saying that he was pursuing peace while simultaneously giving isreal another $20 million or so to bomb innocent people from the sky.

it would be funny if it didn’t work so well; look at all the people on social media who think biden is a good guy despite 50+ well documented years of shitting on all vulnerable people that’s available via a 30 second google search.

didn’t give us everything we wanted fast enough

it’s more like didn’t give us anything we needed.

Also 0.8 worth of good presidents out of 46 is worse odds than a broken clock but, atleast with a broken clock, you’re guaranteed 2 good intervals on a regular bases.

and that’s why they’re not the right answers; it’s a systems that intentionally setup to give you shittiest choices and forces you to abide by them to make sure that you never get a good president; merely a very slightly less worse one while simultaneously teaching you to despise anyone who tries to point this out.

meanwhile other places have much better voting systems and our system has so americanized you that you don’t believe that those systems can also work here or, atleast, you’ve been conditioned to believe that we MUST select either a republican or a democrat.

nobody has the right answers; but we all know what the wrong ones are because we keep doing them and here we are.

My favorite part about the liberals coming in here to muster a defense …

have you only noticed the sharp reduction in shitlib takes on lemmy.world and them increasing on the rest of the lemmyverse? they’re diversifying/spreading-out

looks like i’ll be voting for stein or west after all.

it suggests that he does everyone through a puppet corporation and, yes, that’s never a good sign.

Interesting pick. Maybe uncommitted spooked her?

it’s another tim kaine moment; someone who has all the right qualities but no celebrity outside his pocket of the country and won’t help budge the election needle.
