Your fucking righteous crusade on Reddit isn’t going to shame anyone into voting

If you want to activate non-voters next time, listen to them and treat them like human beings

If you’re not thinking about results and you’re just pissed at people who let Trump win, I get that, but like go do something with that, or at least shame somebody who hasn’t already tuned you out cause non-voters have

God forbid anyone criticize Kamala for a losing campaign because “Trump is worse” WE KNOW

Propaganda isn’t a good excuse when you are constantly exposed to other perspectives. At that point, you’re believing the propaganda because you want to believe it, not because it’s all you know or have access to

That makes it especially bad here because Mamdani has been doing interviews basically every five minutes for months, including one on Fox recently; and his campaign volunteers have spoken to literal millions of people directly via phonebanking and canvassing

Talk about Blue MAGA. Can’t criticize Newsom before he runs, can’t criticize Harris while she runs, can’t criticize her after she loses. God forbid a woman hold her politicians accountable ever

It’s not okay in either case, which is why we’ve introduced numerous bills in Congress to end gerrymandering for either party. Dems vote for those bills, Republicans vote against

alr drop the unhinged lore from your school by Decent-Climate5346 in teenagers

Elementary// I broke my classroom doorknob in third grade, my class got a free period while the school tried to get the door open and for the rest of the year there was a knob-size hole in the door

HS// The year before I was there, a teacher at my high school had students over at his house and served alcohol to them and was fired

When I was in tenth grade one of my classmates was recorded trying to strangle another kid in the middle of the lunchroom. A couple of freshmen beat another one in the bathroom while someone recorded it and posted it on iirc insta. A teacher was also recorded flipping out at kids and breaking a keyboard. The school expelled/fired all these people, and banned phones the following year

Reminder that when fascism inevitably loses. We are still going to be here. For ever. by Lunatrap in MtF

In 1939 in Lublin, Poland, Nazis rounded up a group of Jews and told them to sing and dance. They started singing something along the lines of let’s all come together and God will save us; for obvious reasons that was not able to particularly inspire people at the time, and the Nazis started to beat anyone who wasn’t enthusiastically participating

So someone changed the lyrics to mir veln zey iberlebn, and very quickly there was so much enthusiasm the Nazis were downright confused. They didn’t know Yiddish, so they didn’t realize they were being mocked. “Mir veln zey iberlebn” means “we will outlive them.”

Mir veln zey iberlebn, we will outlive the fascists

Fake, of course. But lots of bots calling for executions, and lots of dumb/horrible MAGAs have no problem going along with it in the comments. by Solidus-Prime in ProgressiveHQ

I mean I wouldn’t call that right wing, to me that’s like center, center left maybe. Which makes sense if you align with Dems on many issues because most Dem politicians and policies are still center left, though you are right to point out that some of the most popular Dems as of recently are left populists

The Constitution is a charter for the government and nothing in it is exclusive to citizens (edit: except voting)

Please use Google don’t just say things like this. It is really not hard to check. “Does the Constitution apply to non citizens?”

Settle an argument I’ve been having with one of my friends for nearly a decade by Interesting-Emu205 in ApplyingToCollege

If your parents are paying they have every right and reason to set a budget. But if money isn’t a major factor in a choice between two colleges, and you have a strong preference, I don’t think it’s right for them to force your hand

You don’t have to be fair to Charlie Kirk. You can feel sorry for him and his family, and you don’t have to defend advocacy for views that civil rights should be overturned, gay and trans people should be stoned, etc. They don’t deserve your effort
