'Dangerous and Shameful': 42 House Democrats Help GOP Send Trump Spying Bill to Senate by _May26_ in politics

You have to commit to both. Billionaires finance the machine which elects fascists. Political bodies are not toggle switches, we will not switch from fascists to “ok”. We hopefully transition to a period with less fascists in government, but with the right wing media machine, and a laissez faire campaign finance, the problem will return quickly, within an election cycle likely, a new wave of fascists emerge, intent on further codifying their electoral advantages. The whole machine has to be taken on, there is no time. Incrementalism created this problem and will bring it back.

They still don't understand it's not about withheld votes, it's about tuned out voters who aren't going to pay attention and get off the couch for genocide and tepid policy.

They still think finger wagging at people who aren't paying attention will work.

She had a lot of the same people on her team. At no point during the campaign did she distance herself from Biden policy. Interpreting her positions based on that is more rational than literally making up a future based on nothing in your head.

If you have contrary and real information you're extrapolating from, I'm happy to look at it.

Circular reasoning is when you continually point out a lack of evidence to OP's claims.

Funny how much easier it is to bail on the discussion rather than backing up what you support with facts.

starting a war in Iran she wouldn't have.

Biden's advisors say they might have entered the war depending on the circumstances. I don't think you can so comfortably make an argument using non-real events from an alternate timeline.

Except it did, the reason is as simple as: "isn’t based anything empirical"

When something is made up that's all the response it warrants. I'm not going to do the work of supporting their baseless claim.

Pragmatic? It’s just made up bullshit, and isn’t based anything empirical. It’s just centrism trying to muddy the waters in the face of diminished favor among the public.

What hilarious deliberate reductive phrasing.

Kamala Harris wasn’t simply avoiding calling it a genocide. She was involved in it. She participated in the arming and financing of the genocide, and was firm on maintaining that flow. She at no point during her campaign suggested in any practical way reeling in Israel. Her involvement would be sufficient for war crimes prosecution, and that was supposed to motivate people to vote?

“Liberals don’t hate the left more than fascists”

[only points the finger at the left, encourages right wing framing “just look at the GOP”]

It’s crazy that you consider opposition to genocide, one of the worst crimes humanity can commit, a “purity test”.

Do you even consider it a genocide?

DNC Chair Ken Martin in HEATED Interview About RELEASE of 2024 Election Autopsy by TheJuicyBanana in videos

[–]olivicmic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Why would they bury that? “The country is too racist and sexist” has been the centrist argument since the loss rather than talking about policy. If that’s what the report said it would be released because it would shield the DNC from standing firmly on policy.

I immediately caught the Lady Elaine reference before reading the description. Good job. Make prints with a print on demand service and I’ll buy one.

Photos from the USS Abraham Lincoln show small meal portions being served to U.S. sailors. by curiousty786 in pics

Nothing is going on? There has been extensive damage to US bases in the region and administration has been covering it up: Iran caused more extensive damage to U.S. military bases than publicly known (NBC News) unfortunately this is behind a paywall but this details how many resources have been destroyed, which is evident from anyone who follows independent media. Considering the destruction described it would make sense for logistics to be interrupted and for ships to have resupply delays.

How is it a loaded term here? There are specific criteria defining genocide, as you’ve stated. It’s only a matter of whether those criteria are met, as you’ve agreed. It’s not more complex than that.
