This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 115 points 1 month ago

But don't you see how great things are in Gaza now? Surely the downfall of democracy was worth it.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 61 points 1 month ago

Things in Gaza will be totally worth it when it is razed to the ground and a huge Trump resort is built on top of it. Gazans can work as waiters and masseuses where their houses used to be!

At least we stuck it to GeNoCiDe JoE, though

The Democrats went out of their way to spite to the left at every chance and played to the mythical swing voter. A strategy that has never worked more than a one-off. What do you call somebody that keeps doing the same thing expecting different results? Stupid.

I love how y'all love to blame Gaza as if the lack of voters was only to do with that. I mean there were voters who were pro Gaza and voted for fuckin Trump, so I think the Dems "give you nothing" platform was actually an issue.

But Harris had a shrill laugh.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

... Psst....

The real reason she lost was that she has a vagina. But they know they can't say that out loud. So, "shrill laugh" it is

Harris was an unpopular sold out corporatist that ran as the status quo and offered zero reform and zero fight against anyone increasingly screwing us, what the fuck did you expect to happen?

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 29 points 1 month ago

People not to vote in Trump.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You have far too high an opinion of humanity.

Not nearly enough protest voters to account for the massive losses of supporters Kamala suffered for her pro-war, pro-genocide, neocon friendly campaign. It was easily one of the worst run campaigns in my lifetime, and despite how abhorrent Trump is, you shouldn’t be surprised at this loss. And you should be ashamed for continuing to blame voters, instead of the failures that are DNC leadership. Who else do we know of who routinely blames the powerless victims for their failures, rather than hold themselves accountable? Be better.

All the Dems had to do was hold a primary in good faith to show they gave a damn about democracy. Couldn’t even do that. Losers.

Guess it was more important to make sure children kept getting massacred than winning the Muslim vote in Michigan.

[-] orrk@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Dude you SOOO! RIGHT, now we can put the damned muzzis into AMERICAN CAMPS. I mean we sure showed those DemoRATS with GEnoCiDE JOE! Now American Muslims can experience genocide as well!

Stop blaming the voters, this is all the Democrats' fault.

They made it clear they were not going to stop them and all anyone was doing was putting their neck out to be later chopped off.

They already knew being better than the other guy was not enough to win elections yet they kept the same strategy of being more sold out and more worthless every election, offered no reform, offered no fight against anybody screwing us, and ran as the status quo against a Republican party running as reform, knowing full well the voters do not know any better.

And here you are parroting The Establishment Democrats' bullshit to justify staying in power to fail us again in perhaps our last chance to take the country back in 2028 during the succession fight before elections are fixed completely.

Real leftists have moved on from the election, while.fake "centrists" are still scapegoating leftists for their own defeat. You didn't let us make any choices, you can't blame us for the results

Maga is Christian in name only. If hell is real, they're all going to hell because nothing they do has anything to do with Christ's teachings.

Remember when they put out a document that told us that they were going to do this, and exactly how, and people ignored it or called it "propaganda"?

This is news? ... as in something new?

White Christian America has been promoting this for years

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Yeah, 250 years.

This is such an interesting article, thanks for sharing :)

In general, i'm pro-balkanization mostly because i don't see a common future for the people in the US anymore, and splitting up the region into smaller communities might have the advantage that people can hold their representatives more directly liable, because they live closer-by.

There’s lots of paternalistic Daddy talk these days that centers on the need to “protect the American people.”

It would be good if the government actually protected the american people from economic hardship. A quarter of americans can't find jobs who cover life's needs, and the situation is gonna get much worse over the next 10 years due to automation and AI.

In that sense, implementing a universal basic income would be good, though i'm not sure what the conservative speakers had in mind with that.

According to most reports, his underlying message was reflected in a reckless refrain heard throughout the conference: “You can just do things!”

You might have to.

In what way, shape or form is that christian? It's fascism. When will the media finally call a spade a spade?

““Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭41‬-‭46‬ If only more people who claimed to follow Christ read and listened to what Jesus actually had to say about the kinds of people they are persecuting.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
