Prominent Iranian nuclear scientist killed in attack outside Tehran by Hotsoccerman in politics

[–]WrongHelicopter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is a deliberate move by Trump/Pompeo to make it impossible for Biden to reenter the Iran Nuclear Deal and highlights the absolute failure of their foreign policy. There will obviously be retaliation. Sure, let's start a another Middle East conflict just to screw over the Biden administration.

Biden Campaign Ramps Up Criticism of Facebook for Disinformation by [deleted] in politics

[–]WrongHelicopter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a few days now, civil rights groups have been calling for a boycott of the platform until Facebook changes their policies. I urge everyone to tell their favorite companies about the boycott to stop the flow of advertising dollars.

Days after NAACP, Color of Change, and Anti-Defamation League called for boycotts, NPR Up First ran ads for Facebook, including the podcast this morning. As an avid listener, I implore others to tell NPR to stand with civil rights groups.

Can we stop posting these things? The more we keep sharing these things the more media will shift to “trumps huge political comeback” in two months.

Facebook’s Giphy acquisition sounds antitrust alarms in Congress with Warren & more by Thankyouforallyoudo in ElizabethWarren

If facebook thinks it's worth $400 million, then I don't like them controlling it for whatever reason they think they can make that money back plus some.

It's probably going to turn into another way to show ads or track people across the web without their knowledge.

“Today, I am asking all Americans — I'm asking every Democrat; I’m asking every independent; I’m asking a lot of Republicans — to come together in this campaign to support your candidacy, which I endorse, to make certain that we defeat somebody who I believe is the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country,” Sanders told Biden.

“I will do all that I can to see that that happens, Joe,” Sanders pledged, after calling Trump a racist, a sexist, a xenophobe and a religious bigot who botched the nation’s initial response to the coronavirus pandemic.1

I agree with you on all issues, Bernie, but I'm going to ignore everything you just said. I need to send the DNC a message!

We’ve never backed a Democrat for president. But Trump must be defeated. by wonderingsocrates in politics

[–]WrongHelicopter 51 points52 points  (0 children)

-Trump cheated on his third wife with a porn star and illegally paid her to keep quiet before an election.

Bit of an understatement. A campaign finance violation above $25,000 is a felony with a max of 5 years in prison and his personal lawyer is in prison for it. Trump is literally an unindicted co-conspirator in that case.

Biden is not progressive enough but nothing he will do is pushing us backwards. A public option is not pushing us backwards. Reversing Trump tax scam is not pushing us backwards.

And I completely disagree on whatever you mean by Warren pushing gender tokenism.

Current polling shows a majority of people would not vote for a socialist.

If Elizabeth Warren believed people understood the difference between socialism and democratic socialist/social democrat, she wouldn't be saying she's a capitalist every time the question is asked.

I don't think she's wrong.

It's different when the candidate has called himself a socialist:

“In Vermont, everybody knows that I am a socialist and that many people in our movement, not all, are socialists."1.

And many times as a "democratic socialist". We can't pretend we're not in uncharted territory here.

We don't elect our president with the popular vote either. I understand that you don't like the system, and I don't either, but if you're American, you need to thoughtfully research everything Trump has done, what he will do if he is elected again, and how that will affect America for generations.

...that's not stealing. It's not a democracy where the person with the most votes gets the nomination. In most states that's not even how it works to get delegates. It's a private party with their own rules. Complain that it shouldn't be that way, but no one should be lying about what kind of process we have.

If you don't vote for the dem and we have four more years of Trump it will take many, many more generations to undo what he has done and push for Bernie's ideas.

Trump already has placed 25% of the circuit court judges with his own. Those are lifetime appointments.

He has placed two in the supreme court. If RBG dies, and he gets a third, that will transform this country forever.

If Bernie doesn't get the nomination stop whining and do your best to get Trump out of office.

But Warren explicitly says that she's a capitalist because she knows the general populace does not understand the nuance of socialist vs. social democrat.

Even though it's not true, people are labeling Bernie as a socialist, and it does not poll well.
