John Oliver's segment on Palestinians really cemented it for me: if your family was killed by a missile sold to them by Biden, it's really difficult to support his successor.
Sure you may not want the orange turd either.
But imagine the heartache of voting for the person related to the one who is responsible for the death of your family.
I know I can't. And a part of me feels for them.
What upset me the most is that Harris used Hilary's election plan verbatim. No one stopped to tell Harris that Clinton lost.
Sanders warned her that if she wants a good turn out, she needs to have a plan for the working class.
Instead she wasted weeks trying to get Republican endorsements instead of trying to shore up her base.
Lol.
Four years? Try four decades. The ramifications of Trump's first term is still being felt now.
Those look like cowbirds not crows.
I'm just so dumbfounded by how many progressive constitutional amendments got passed but voted Republican.
I just can't comprehend someone saying, "You know, this asshole took away my abortion rights but since I'm voting to restore them, I guess he should get another shot."
These people think that abortion amendments are going to hold when their dear leader is in the White House.
The article is only powerful if it's enforced.
I suspect that Putin's direct report won't really sign on to any sort of defense of European countries.
Nah at this point, Putin is ready to fuck Donnie in the pooper.
It's funny that the last time this was floated by Republicans, they thought they were kicking the Democrat states out.
In other words, they thought they were keeping the Federal government.
Republican states need Democrat states far more than vice versa.
If Trump truly does win, Republicans won't split the country. They'll make it even more impossible to leave.
So kind of like how farm cooperatives work (I think?)?
There's a guy at the farmers market that offers "shares" of cows. I can't remember the details but you pay for a certain "guaranteed" pounds of beef plus sausage made from other parts (not guaranteed to be one cow), a long with some other meats (chicken, etc). When the cow is slaughtered, you get your meat.
It's nowhere near as far. The odds of someone on the right intimidating voters because of a foreign looking last name has been proven to be near 1 whereas there are no reported instances of the left doing the same.
There are no "both sides" on this issue. Only one side who wants to hurt the other.
Doesn't i2p do something similar to this? I don't know much about it but I remember reading it and thinking that it's like bittorrent but no one person has the entire file, or something like that.
Which is it?!
This headline came up in my news feed, from a very dubious source so I decided to investigate.
Headline after headline, many from identical sources, about how Walmart and Bank of America are either going to stop taking $1 bills or keep accepting them. The headlines read like a FUD article and I refuse to click through to read the details.
I can't find a reputable news source for this story so I'm assuming it's fake news.
It shouldn't be this easy to manipulate news feeds.
fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.
I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.
I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.
I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.
The problem for the Democrats is that the tent is very big. There are a lot of issues and a lot of people who care about very different things.
Gaza, unfortunately, was one of those. We had people who grit their teeth and voted Harris even though it was going to hurt them.
On the other side, Jewish zionists would have absolutely turned on Harris if she fully supported Palestine. Harris made a pragmatic choice to not alienate the zionists in the hopes that her opponent would be so toxic that Palestinians would see the lesser of two evils.
The really frustrating thing is Republicans don't have to run this kind of campaign. They can run a campaign on shit, fantasy, and rumor and their base will still show up and vote.
