I'm clear both are for the extermination of Palestinians and will support Israel in all their wars. I think we're kidding ourselves acting like the difference between the two on those issues is substantial at all. They both are lobbied to so much by Israel's pac

Source for lobbying

Based on this i'd think its harder to lobby the Dems but I really think neither party is movable on their positions in respect to Israel.

Totally agree that Kamala will be better on everything else though. Just find it fucked that we're told to suck it up on the pro genocide stances.

Take a deep breath

I don't know what you think my positions are but you're wrong. I am a socialist. I'm not in a swing state so I did vote third party but I would never dream of telling someone in a swing state of doing the same I would tell them they have to vote for Kamala.

I'm not talking shit about Bernie Sanders, I know he has made attempts to be on the right side of this issue but because he does not have support from his party he's been unable to. I'm simply lamenting the fact that our political system is so un-nuanced and so shitty that we have to pick between two genocide enablers for the highest office in the land. And that even the better party is pro-genocide. That's all.

I wish we lived in a political system that gave us enough power as the people to just have choices we actually want. Not this lesser of two evils bullshit that we constantly do.

You good?

I'm hoping this will be the year we see Texas flip blue. That would be beautiful.

I agree stranger. Appealing to the right doesn't seem like the smart way to win this election but I hope I'm wrong.

I never said Bernie... That's why you have to insert him in () to make sense. I'm talking about general sentiment. The push overall is to get people to vote for the lesser evil not make the Dems better. I don't like that. 🤷‍♂️

I think you should assume less stranger. Glad you stopped the friendly fire lol

Fuck Adobe.

Lead poisoning is known to make people dumber and angrier. It seems the boomers got the bulk of the lead poisoning in America. To me, this explains the behavior you're talking about 🤷. I have no other theories. I think they're all just brain dead from lead poisoning dude.

God i hope she follows through on even just some of these things 🥺🍀

The 42 attempts at assassinating Hitler ain't nothing to sneeze at but Fidel Castro would like a word. The CIA attempted to assassinate him 638 times.

They use Lemmy

Honest question: what alternative doesn't screw over artists?

I've been canceling streaming services for TV might as well cancel Spotify but what I have no idea what to use for music in its place.

Welp he's just gonna wait till let trump be the first to use it. We are still cooked. 🤡🔫

Honestly I'd hope they'd deal with trump's business scams on their own. 😏

Great country, I hope the USA learns a thing or two from Vietnam like this: https://apnews.com/article/vietnam-trial-death-sentence-anticorruption-campaign-943b7ab86e88905ebc7334c13cf123ff

Yes I'm terrified! Honestly I'm thinking about moving to Vietnam. One it's socialist and check with my username I'm into that lol. Also like America is the world hegemon if it starts going after everybody or World War 3 breaks out I can't think of a safer place to be the Vietnam.

This may seem dramatic and hopefully it is but I don't think it is. Democrats won't use this power it or actually curtail it and as soon as another republican wins office this country will go full mask off fascist so fast. Honestly the mask might be off now. This frogs been boiled so long she's not sure if she's dead yet.

That's what I thought too before 2016 happened. Im hoping Harris wins and she should but this country won't make it easy.

I hate this dumb fuck country 😔

Cops are such fucking cowards. ACAB

It took me. 12 minutes of clicking through websites yesterday to get the heat and time settings for making potato chips in the air fryer. I used to be able to just ask the Google Assistant.

I'm glad I saw this post cuz I was going to gaslighting myself over the whole thing. It really is getting way worse, isn't it....

What search engine alternatives do y'all use?

The irony of complaining about genocide while at the exact same moment considering the possibility to "remove Nazi Germany".

Does that make it easier for you to see how what you're saying is silly?

Israel is an apartheid regime that's doing genocide... There were Jews in Palestine before Israel. Hating Israel and wanting it gone is not the same as wanting to kill and remove and entire people group. Killing an entire people group is what Israel stands for.

Also how crazy is it that the usa allows Israel to lobby it's politicians with this much money.

I use temu too. I see literally the same products on Amazon and temu regularly. Temu is much cheaper but obviously shipping is longer. But yeah there is alot of overlap. I think it's too important to remember a lot of the stuff they get sold on Amazon is from small third party sellers who buy cheap goods from China from places like timu or Alibaba or wherever and then warehouse and resell them on Amazon for a huge markup.

I get where y'all are coming from temu does horrible s*** I guess the reason I use it is the same as the other guy said thr price hike in thr us and I don't think the merchants over here are ethical either. I'm pretty used to being surveilled digitally at this point 🤷

Why are you down voting this guy? He's right. Yikes

Exactly this! you got to start asking yourselves what is in Biden's interest and it ain't our best interest. Just like Hillary Clinton's best interests weren't ours in 2016. These people are gambling with our democracy and they're bad gamblers.

Well I'm not a fan of the US government either and won't defend them. Don't you think the goddamn atom bomb being dropped on a city is an insanely high bar for what atrocities are acceptable lmao

But what a weird argument. Think about what you're saying for a minute: The US killed more civilians with a nuke before. Therefore, Israel can kill as many innocent civilians and children as they want. Yikes dude. That's a bad argument and devoid of any real reason. You ok?

!Irony is complaining about apartheid when there are more Arabs on the Israeli supreme court then there are Jews living free in all of Palestine. !<

I mean Israel is in Palestine... So do you not think the Jews in Israel are living free?

You're trying to justify genocide and apartheid. Really think about what side that puts you on.

If you think Trump's the kind of person who does things for reasons I don't know what to tell you dude

This dudes pro Tsar lol

I would definitely like him more if he did the latter. So there is something he can do and his enemies just gave him the ability but he's too much of a doormat to fascists to use it.

New torture method unlocked 🔓🧠🤯

Thank you for taking the time to thoughtfully reply. That's good advice I'll put it to good use. Thanks again.☺️

Hell yeah! Good for you dude.

Honestly I've been thinking about at least cutting beef and pork out but it's tough. Any tips?

Thanks stranger I will!

Just my experience, I work in tech as a millennial with some boomers many gen X many millennials and now some Gen Z. From all those people it seems to me the gen Z people are the most proficient with technology.

Why you got some kinda stat that's gonna blow my mind?

Edited: nvm got more context

All right for starters, lazyness doesn't exist he was exactly right there. I mostly here this idea from other leftists. If you were a farmer and planted a bunch of seeds and some of those seeds never grew you wouldn't say they're lazy seeds You'd Stay their environment sucked and work on changing the soil or plant different seeds suited to that environment.

People are the same way as seeds. Our behavior changes based on environment. we are constantly ashamed for being lazy for not wanting to work that's not true, the environment just sucks ie the soil should be worked on, we should blame the farmers(ie the wealthy and powerful, those with real agency) not the seeds (working class people with less agency like you and me).

The only way these people whether it be the wealthy or politicians maintain power over so many of us is by somehow tricking us into prioritizing their wants and needs over our own. No evil empire exists in a star of wide spread selfish anarchy. For something like that to exist you need tons of people in that Empire who will prioritize it over themselves. The over whelmingly vast majority of not all people who are under the boot of capitalism and imperialism would be better off without it and it is in their own self-interest to pursue getting it the fuck off of them. That's a selfishness I can get behind.

The best motivated to get people active politically is to promote their own selfish interest. Shaming people into voting for someone they don't want to doesn't work. For example Hillary Clinton in 2016. You have to get your base excited for things that are in their own selfish interest.

I think there might also be a point of miscommunication. I'm not saying caring about the interests of others is bad in fact I think we are our best when we look after others but that doesn't mean we shouldn't pursue our own selfish interest as well. For example I'm not affected directly by the genocide and cause of but I yell people about it almost every day not sure if I'm helping but I'm trying. At the same time it is very much in my personal self-interest to change how housing is done in the US. I will pursue that very selfishly.

Does that help?

Stranger, I don't care what you think. If you disagree, my life goes on. Just trying to share a useful way of thinking with you 🤷 I don't have an objective to care to play a semantic game with you. As the kids say "it's not that deep".

No I don't...

What fascist dictator would be fabricating the genocide in Palestine in this hypothetical situation? How silly. If you look back at the links I sent you the one that showed the funding from Israel to US politicians. Do you think there's any incentive there to hide or aid genocide there? Do you think maybe Israel and the United States are the Bad actors in this scenario?

Would that help explain this? Or has this fictional fascist dictator somehow comprised all of these countries already?

You continue to defend apartheid and genocide. Think about what side that puts you on?

The dude I responded orginally called people protesting the genocide in Palestine tankies I pointed out that that was f****** weird that is a pro genocide comment I was responding to.

Do you not get that or is this just a bad faith defense?

If your a nazi then fuck you If you're ignorant look into the genocide

You havent derailed my hate at all. I continue to hate genocide and those that defend it. I hope they meet their end with karmic justice 🤷

As a younger millennial it surprises me how little others seem to get the generation divide here. Personal computers and keyboards were very common for millennials to grow up with in the house, but I think more and more people these days don't use desktops or laptops that often most people stick with tablets and smartphones. Gen z probably doesn't have the same keyboard skills as millennials because of that, but on average they are definitely better with tech than we are. Their typing skills are just on phone keyboards lol. Just my 2 cents
