So you agree with me: voting accomplishes nothing

I voted for Dems to defund the war in 06. They didn't. I voted for Obama to bring troops home, close Guantanamo, and give us a public option in 08. He didn't. So what's the point of voting for the the winner???

Liberals have long fantasized about Jon Stewart running for president (I was one of them once). I've always said that that Trump is the other side of that coin-- a plaintalking TV personality with no real connections in Washington. Stewart is too smart to want the job

It's clear to me that Democrats are just there to collect their donor cash. It's easier to raise money from a defensive position because they can amp up the fearmongering while also never having to fight for a policy their base wants. It's brilliant from a game-theory perspective but it screws all of us pretty hard

I don't have a solution aside from "get money out of politics", which requires more drastic solutions like general strikes or political violence (one may cause the other).

I tell you what-- I sure wish that Crooks guy succeeded in Pennsylvania. Would have cut through some bullshit and introduced uncertainty to a system that needs shaking up

Turnout was pretty low. Democratic voters stayed home. Wonder why?

I said exactly those things and got downvoted to oblivion here

Democrats only exist to be a paper opposition to fascism. They are fine with it because they think they'll be insulated

Yes see the Gaza situation. Appeasement is the Biden policy there

That's a removed take. If there's evidence of crimes then you go after them...

Merrick Garland and Joe Biden let him

Oh wow mask came off

 

I guess they really want Israel to stop!

 

Do the mods even know that Lemmy exists?

It's the best group on Reddit with good and active moderators. They deserve better than this disrespect from the company

 

When I open links to other communities in the Lemmyverse, they don't open in Jerboa. They open in chrome. As a result, I'm not logged in and can't subscribe or interact. I've found lots of communities this way but it's a hassle to subscribe to them.

 

Hey, like the title says, what's a good instance for pornographic content?
