10分前Headlines like this are a good reminder that, except for your local surroundings, you’re basically powerless change anything meaningful.

1·1時間前This contradicts:
No, it really doesn’t. Her words contradict it surely. But reality tells a different story, with 25% of Americans being functionally unemployed.
And she was also adamant that she wouldn’t operate any differently than Joe Biden, so voters could rest assured they weren’t getting any meaningful relief from her.
I, and most Americans, are past the point of giving Democrats credit for saying nice things. They needed meaningful action, and the claims of being powerless ring hollow when you watch Donald actually using the powers of the presidency to make change.
3·2時間前Thank you for your opinion. I hope you have a pleasant day.
Agreed.
Though I do think that if progressive-minded people were more apt to fly the American flag at protests, it would be harder to criticize them.
Not on this issue there isn’t. The genocide continued until the literal last day of Biden’s presidency, after which the ceasefire Donald brokered kicked in.
Netanyahu said ‘Jump’.
Democrats said: ‘How many billion do you want?’
It’s important to note that we’re speculating for the most part, because Kamala didn’t make any equivocal statements or release a platform until two weeks before the election, but I do find it laughable when someone pretends Democrats are not right-wing.
Would Harris be turning tariffs on and off randomly like a light-switch?
No, but she’d continue to allow her golf buddies to price gouge you for everything from food, to electricity, to rent and stand idly by while you’re evicted and criminalized for being homeless.
Would Harris be ordering ICE to deport innocent people?
Yes. In fact, Tom Homan was an Obama appointee. Democrats refusing to stand up for immigrants, both in the campaign and during Biden’s presidency, is why we’re in the situation we are now.
Would Harris appoint horribly unqualified TV hosts to run our government?
No. She’d appoint very smart, but also very fascist corporate people to run it, and those same people would be pushing for the same wars we’re seeing now. (Just not leaking info about it on Signal.)
Would Harris be trying to end temporary protected status to people who may get killed if they go back to their home country?
If it were politically convenient, absolutely she would. But more likely she’d just stand by and do nothing while cops continue to murder innocent people and build cop cities.
Would Harris have her own meme coin that she uses to accept bribes?
No. She’d take her bribes in the traditional way: $100,000 ‘speeches’ and PAC donations. Her campaign raised billions and still ended up in $20,000,000 in debt. It was making illicit money for a lot of people.
Americans love to subdivide themselves, and that’s especially true for activists. The flag reflects that.
9·19時間前Partly what made the TV series ‘Evil’ so good was that it was horror from a skeptical perspective.
2·19時間前…and they basically stole it
It’s the American way. We’re honestly lucky that it wasn’t feasible for the big telecoms to build their own versions of the Internet, or there’d be several of those too.
4·19時間前All cats eventually ascend to godhood. It is known.
Is this not the responsible thing to do?
I recall this being the major complaint from Americans about ending the permanent war we had going in Afghanistan too.
No worries. :)
Thank you for your commentary.
16·2日前I’m pretty sure something similar happened to me three weeks ago, because I saw it was delivered and went down to the floor of my building to grab my items literally five minutes after and they were nowhere to be seen.
Then, inexplicably, they showed up (open but re-taped) two weeks later.
I’m sure these big companies are well aware these scams are happening.
Very cool. Congrats!
Some of that’s true, yes.
But you’re missing the bigger point here: the antiwar movement in the US flourished because people who didn’t want to fight were forced to fight, and the American government saw that the military draft was self-defeating and, while it still exists statutorily, it is effectively nonexistent because they don’t want another anti-war movement interrupting the gravy train.
This is my hope.
Vietnam taught the US that war actually means something when your country’s actions force you to become involved when you didn’t want to be.
I think it’s far more fundamental than that.
You’ve got a generation of young men who did what they were supposed to culturally: went to school, got good grades, went to college, never broke any laws, and their choices in life are permanent debt and struggling to afford a roach-infested studio apartment, living with their parents, or joining the military to survive. Here in the United States minimum wage won’t even buy you a cup of coffee in large swaths of the country.
The social contract has been broken, and for the first time, you’ve got a generation who are not going to live more fulfilled and enriched lives than their parents largely by no fault of their own.
Of course they’re pissed. Governments should be addressing this, but it’s more fashionable to blame young men instead, and the right-wingers are the only ones willing to admit there are fundamental economic crises for men.
