Note that she only attempted her physical battery toward the pregnant woman, as it was obvious that the dude could have put her through the floor at any time. She wanted to hurt his pregnant wife. Yeah, thassa hate crime.

Man showed remarkable constraint.

"Can I delay my trial until Jan?"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It's November, no chance she's getting a court date earlier than Jan 6th. They all take months.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

December 16th, but probably just to plead.

These are likely state felonies, so she wont be able to avoid consequences. I'm betting her "givegpraysend" or whatever that shit is will pay the bills, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Yeah, meaning she won't even have to go on December 16th, a lawyer will show and give the plea not guilty, and they'll set a day for likely February, discuss bs then, and ask if they want to go to a jury trial, prosecutor will have to set another date to summon witnesses and have officer that arrived on the scene. So my guess is a jury trial in May or June

[–] [email protected] 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

So was she disturbed or something? Like, if Alex Jones saw you wearing a Never Forget shirt in a grocery store, even he wouldn't tap you on the shoulder to tell you 9/11 was a hoax, would he?There are expected forums for being a bigot; Panera Bread was a weird choice.

What a vile woman.

Ya gotta appreciate the guy's perfectly executed Uno Reverse Card when she started winding up to throw her cup of coffee.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

As she should be.

Gee, I wonder who she voted for...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago

There's just no way to know.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

and who'll rush to pay for her defense tooooooo what a patridiot lol

Seeing lemmy for the past year, it's a fucking toss up.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thats more like reddit. Go take a look, its full of pro israel stuff. Some are even sympathetic to Netanyahu and compelete disregarded the civillians deaths in the pager attack in Lebanon and claimed it was some sort of genius strategy that had "minimal civillian deaths".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thats more like reddit.

Yes. Centrists make lemmy more like reddit.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

And leftists vastly overestimate their popularity and numbers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Most people are not very much political or interested in politics in general.

Most people do however support actual leftist and progressive policies.

If any president just looked at polling and supported the implementation of policies that more than 60 percent of Americans support, or even only the issues with 70% approval (from both dems and republicans). That policians agenda would be a progressive, leftist agenda.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I actually agree with you. However, the right wing won, full stop unfortunately.

Arguing "no true leftist" or "Your side" is pointless. The Right won and no amount of semantics or told you so is going to change the results.

So when they start mass deporting or rounding up trans people we can just say "the dems didn't run progressive enough policie for me" and wash our hands of it I guess.

Trump won every swing state. He lost my state and all of my states electoral college delegates are going to Harris. I could have voted for Mickey Mouse and this fact would not be different.

Other voters in swing states had real issues with the economy, crime, and less so the genocide in Israel.

Kamala unfortunately pivoted to the right and embraced republicans and corporate CEO’s. Why vote for republican light (Kamala) when you can just vote republican (Trump)? I assume this is what people were thinking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I assume this is what people were thinking.

I'm not sure those people exist. Lemmy seems to think they do but the electorate doesn't reflect that at all and unless they're ready to arm themselves and fight (and they're not, as much as they like to talk about it online) they may as well not exist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Not sure what you are responding to. Your response is kind of vague. Voters are saying they voted on the economy and immigration among other issues. Trump was speaking to these issues while Kamala was not.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Other voters in swing states had real issues with

I'm not sure those voters exist. Lemmy thinks that they do but i don't see any evidence that they're real people.

At any rate there's little difference between not-voting and not-existing in the grand scheme so now we get to see what happens when an unashamed fascist wins and surrounds himself with yes men.

Unless those principled non-voters are ready to arm themselves and actually agitate, they might as well not exist and we can proceed accordingly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 52 minutes ago (1 children)

I still don’t understand your point.

All you’re doing is continuing to shame voters who didn’t vote for your candidate, even after these voters told your candidate what their priorities were.

The only substantial thing Kamala ran on was that she wasn’t Trump. Outside of not being Trump she is a shell of a human being who has no real values and will always change her views based on the campaign contributions she receives. Voters saw through her fake personality.

Continuing to try and shame voters for not supporting your candidate isn’t going to accomplish anything, much in the same way Obama and Hillary trying to shame voters accomplished little as well.

The DNC can’t even beat a buffoon like Trump because they are so bought and paid for by corporate and dark money PACs.

Maybe try stop trying to blame voters and focus your energies in that direction.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 minutes ago

I don't disagree with anything you've said except.

Continuing to try and shame voters for not supporting your candidate isn’t going to accomplish anything

Who was MY candidate? I had to vote for the same milquetoast dem every other functional adult did. I weighed the options and made a decision. If some hypothetical non-voters think they have a better solution let's see it, they should be ashamed. Sitting in basements screeching online doesn't accomplish anything so let's fucking go.

I'm just waiting for the revolution to start, that's what we all want right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Your party just lost by listening to centrists.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

"Your" party didn't even show up, why would anyone listen to them?

Edit: hey at least a couple of you learned how to vote! Maybe try doing that irl and not just on the internet!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

“Your” party didn’t even show up, why would anyone listen to them?

Progressives don't have a party that even considers representing them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Progressives turned out to vote for the obviously less dangerous to America candidate.

Terminally online internet leftists sat at home in their basements and want feel like they're revolutionaries.

Start a revolution champ, we're all waiting.

Well, to be fair, not all Democratic voters are exactly sympathetic to Palestine... Some are kinda pro-Israel

But yea like 99% of the time its a Magat.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago

Yes but even unsympathetic Dems aren't very likely to attack someone for their choice of sweatshirt

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Remember last time Trump was in power our feeds were full of Republicans behaving poorly in public? (in between the police beating protesters through most of 2020) - looks like we're going to get that back again now.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

their perception of how welcome their violence is intensified, too. the movement that killed Heather Heyer considers themselves ascendent. last time they had the electoral college and not the popular vote. this time, thanks to 10mil likely democrat voters who cculd swallow their pride for joe biden in 2020 but not for kamala harris in 2024, the very worst people on earth consider their view point to be the norm
