Capitulating before even arriving at the negotiating table, sounds about LIB

[-] xiaohongshu@hexbear.net 42 points 2 weeks ago

It’s not capitulation. The Democratic Party’s strategy is to skinwalk the Republican Party. This is very deliberate.

It's one of those things Democrat voters hate but like to hear because they think it will play well in the suburbs or something (it doesn't), and there's like 4 Never Trump Republicans that really genuinely like it.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 47 points 2 weeks ago

Somewhere like 30% of eligible voters just never participate in elections and feel detached from politics, and Democrats don't do anything to appeal to them.

2% of voters might switch from voting for the GOP to the Dems because of meaningless garbage like this, and Democrats are all over it.

Oh right, maybe the main thing that would attract the 30% of voters would be stopping the genocide and getting them public healthcare, so that's a non-starter.

The very same people that won't shut up about pRoJeCt 2025

I'd say this is the one promise she will keep, but she hasn't promised anything else

[-] ExotiqueMatter@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

She promised to continue building the Trump border wall, to continue supporting Israel's genocide and to make the US military "the most lethal in the world". Pretty sure she'll keep these ones too.

If elected president I will put a Republican in a cabinet

Hey uhh remember how kamala has adopted almost every policy of trump in 2020? Don't worry it won't happen with lgbt rights haha. Just ignore all her collaborations with fascists. You know how the poem goes.

When they came for immigrants, I supported the party that did it because I was not immigrant

When they came for Palestinians, I supported the party that did it because I was not Palestinian

And it has a happy ending because I am not killed by the party

[-] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

lgbt rights are the one thing she would never go back on imo, because it's the one thing idpol brained liberals care about. which don't get me wrong, i care about them too, but liberals get their worldview from tv and they were exposed to a lot of lgbtq culture on mtv and bravo and shit growing up, so it's the one thing they actually feel strongly about

[-] ExotiqueMatter@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

Given how the Democrats' seems ok ignoring voters to their left to carter to more right wing voters, and that the convinced Democrat voters' like to pretend their party hasn't done anything wrong and totally isn't slipping more and more to the right, I wouldn't be so sure about that.

[-] Hydra_Fk@reddthat.com 34 points 2 weeks ago

Y'all act like this idea just fell from a coconut tree.

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago

It was a bad idea when Lincoln tried it, too

[-] Hydra_Fk@reddthat.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

In Lincoln's defense he had a really open mind in the end.

[-] newmou@hexbear.net 33 points 2 weeks ago

Millions of people in this country are STILL buying shit like this as being “the moral high ground”

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago

Yup! this country honestly thinks that compromising with fascists will stop them from enacting fascism.

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago

Libs did the same pre-Nazi Germany. Instead of working with communists they decided to work with hitler, crazy how history repeats.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

Social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism

bugs-stalin

But it does beg the question, Dems don't even pretend to be social democrats so what does that make them?

[-] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

Fascists. America is what a late stage fascist society looks like. Basically if nazi Germany won the war.

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 28 points 2 weeks ago

diverse point of view

That’s awesome that she is open to communists and anarchists joining her cabinet, in a break from the tradition of only listening to liberals and neocons

Looks like Biden is going to keep his ‘most left wing president in history’ badge that they handed out in 2020 regardless of the result.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago

Idk, i already read lemmitors calling her "the most prounion candidate in history"

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 26 points 2 weeks ago

Trust we can push her left!!!!

[-] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago

the west wing and its consequences etc etc

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

Love how our country can unite over the most important issues: like how there's too many minorities.

Reminder that Hitler lost the 1933 election, it was the social democrat candidate who was supposed to beat Hitler who appointed him as chancellor of the Wiemar republic.
