ML loves him.
I’m voting for harris but I had no clue about lemmy or what i was doing when I signed up lol, at least it wasn’t hexbear. I’m probably just going to stop using this website though due to the amount of people who are hostile towards me just because of something next to my name, literally some lame reddit shit, but that makes sense when you realize this website is just snobby redditors who got too snobby for reddit
Edit: you guys are actually dumber than redditors, im off this shit platform that’s never gonna succeed anyway, you are all the worst embodiment of a “redditor” adios I’ll just talk to my real life friends more often lmao
I think most of us got banned too many times.
Well you can migrate your account, you know, away from that pro dictatorship site and just carry on as usual.
literally some lame reddit shit
Its literally not, though? Its a specific website full of people who generally have a low intelligence (whether real or faked) and the incessant need to argue, usually in bad faith.
Lemmy shows your site of origin for a reason, communities tend to be similar to each other. You chose one that has earned community hate unknowingly, but you can just migrate if you don’t like it
Or, keep whining and saying snarky shit like “snobby redditors who got too snobby for reddit” because that actually fits in perfectly with how whiney .ml users tend to be
Ty for proving my point
Complains about who they willingly associate with
Refuses to change said association despite it being easy
Blames others for having a bad view of their associates rather than their associates for their behaviour
Yeah, you belong on .ml for sure
Discriminating against someone for an entirely voluntary association is valid. There is nothing tying you to ml and it’s not an inate part of who you are, you’re using an account on it of your own free will.
You just proved his point entirely lol
Yeah, it sucks. I wouldn’t attribute it to a platform but just to how we are. It’s tribalism for one part, and people attributing malice to just plain ignorance. I don’t mean ignorance as a negative, but just unaware of the politics / social dynamics of the instance you decided to create an account on
Some ml users, I’m sure, are good people.
They’re eating the dogs!
the neonazis and white supremicists and basically all the butthurt bumpkins will
Yes because there’s a lot of Nazis and Nazi sympathizers in America currently.
We are gonna elect the person enabling a holocaust like Hitler
So… Do you honestly believe that Trump would do anything to stop Israel? They’re killing Muslims, the only thing the GOP loves more than demonizing the Jewish.
So lets let Harris continue what’s actually going on so the hyperbole of what trump might do doesnt happen.
Netanyahu is actively supporting Trump because he knows he’ll enable him to be way more aggressive inside Gaza.
People that still use this are just Trump-Bots that want to seed doubt so less people vote for Harris
I’m not sure if supporting trump will get Netanyahu what he wants. Once trump is the person responsible for sending arms to Israel, suddenly democrats will be against what’s happening, creating division (at least in rhetoric) instead of bipartisan unity.
I would argue that Trump would be way worse for Gaza, he seems to be of the mindset of “kill the weak and be done” so for him to “fix” the middle east, would probably just be to bomb the shit out of everyone until they stop fighting.
He doesn’t strike me as a great peace maker, more like a
dictator on day one
I don’t think you fully understand what you are saying. You are saying that Trump will be worse for Gaza and Palestine…while all of this has been happening under Biden’s administration and with his support (the constant UN vetoes and the constant selling of weapons).
The Palestinian genocide has always been happening with the blessing of the US government. From that point of view, right now both candidates are exactly as good for Palestine. As in, they are not.
Then that topic is a wash when deciding who to vote for. Trump is still worse on literally everything else.
It’s not “a wash”. We are talking about the literal lives of people that are being ethnically cleansed with the help of this current administration.
I can tell you clearly think that’s just a non issue that people can disagree on, but it’s a historical event. And you can’t just go “well then let’s not talk about that and focus on the rest. Trump is worse on that”. Sure, Trump is worse and is worse in everything. But that doesn’t resolve the issue of the Palestinian genocide, does it?
Incorrect, you can see Harris scrambling for votes from other groups the dnc has also disenfranchised. This entire conversation id proof that its not a wash. Its a net loss for the dems. There are only so many times a group can say but we’re better than those guys whole doing the exact same thing as those guys before people laugh and tune them out.
DNC wants votes?
- were is mandatory pto, sick days?
- where is universal healthcare?
- where is police/judicial reforms?
- where is labor support?
- where the fuck is my non genocidal option?
My vote was up for grabs by the dnc and they decided to stay the course. Biden lost my vote when he committed to breaking a strike and then a genocide. Thats on them. Dont like it bitch at them for running a shitty platform.
At this point the only way ill believe dems during an election is they have the bills ready to go and presigned by Congress
At this point the only way ill believe dems during an election is they have the bills ready to go and presigned by Congress
And this is why they’re not courting people like you. You’ve voluntarily removed yourself from the pool of potential voters.
Yeah, those things you listed would be great and if there were enough progressive folks voting instead of sitting on the sidelines they would be on the table once the Overton window for dragged back to the left a bit.
But instead we have “they’re eating dogs and cats”, “schools are forcibly chopping off kids’ dicks”, “kitty litter in classrooms”, and Project 2025 up against basic fucking sanity. So unless you’re an accelerationist there’s only one sensible choice.
Or you can sit around sniffing your own farts and feeling morally superior while everyone left of Mussolini is getting loaded onto the trains.
I dint particularly care if they court me. Harris can have all the policies in the world she cant enact 99% of them without democrats in the legislature ao they’re worth less than the paper they’re written on without yhose commitments. Its not like they have a job other than writing this legislation. Should have these bills ready to go with their signatures on them. Now that would convince me she can deliver.
Now if harris committed to arms embargo by upholding leahy w/ israel, or keeping ms khan, or promising to support striking workers with aid, id be all over her. Because she can do that.
You see the difference between me and you is i hold politicians accountable for what they can do…not what i want to hear.
Liberals only hate him because he says the quiet things out loud. The exact same things are happening right now but it’s being done in the background so it’s tolerable for liberals to consume. They don’t care about what’s going on only that it’s presented in a pretty paackage
Yes, surely donald “finish the job” trump will broker peace.
The weapons and money being provided by Biden/Harris is allowing them to finish the job right now.
You must have failed history class.
Outcome is the same, lots of people dead while the US sits back and watches
Either you aren’t communicating what you actually mean, or you didn’t just fail by a little bit.
I’m not failing, the echo
chairchamber doesn’t like to hear things that do not contribute to their cognitive bias.Edit sp
“the echo chair” that’s not a thing (at least not in English). And if your not failing, that would imply that you are still in history class, and maybe you haven’t learned about world war two yet, in which case you should probably refrain from talking about things you don’t know yet.
To use your analogy of the holocaust, we are Japan in this situation. While we can do something its so little as to be borderline fuck all. Best we could do is arrange an accident with Netanyahu, but yet again that could make it worse.
So Reagan was able to do something, Thatcher was able to do something, Baby Bush was able to do something. But Biden can’t?
Okay this is nothing more than American copium. Israel survives off American aid and trade, and threatening to cut either off would get them to back off faster than you could say genocide. This isn’t theory; it’s been done before.
The openly fascist granddaughter of Mussolini, Italian PM of Italy Meloni has now cut off weapons to Israel. Biden is to the right of an open fascist.
Rich coming from administration that veto every call for ceasefire or humanitarian aid against a genocide happening life on the internet. Since start of this October people in Jabalia has been under a clear plan of genocide, burned alive in hospital beds, an no where to go.
Supporting a genocidal regime is the same as supporting hitler.
Cool but since you’re such a smarty, you know that Harris is not the head of the current regime, so only a fucking idiot would think that voting for her is tacitly giving a pass to genocide, and only a colossal idiot would think Trump is a better choice, and only a titanic idiot would abstain from voting in such a consequential election.
Since you didn’t bother even to gloss over the basics I assume you agree. On account of how very very smart and clever you are.
And you think Trump will be better? No, Jill Stein isn’t going to win.
He didn’t say that, you just jumped into but Jill stein
Because a lot of the “Democrats are pro genocide” crew seem to be Stein stans. Maybe he’s not, but the point was that there are two possible outcomes of the election in November and saying “I can’t vote for someone who’s pro-genocide” is a bullshit copout.
It really is considering one is merely twiddling their thumbs as Palestine burns, the option that isn’t Harris aspires to be literally Hitler.
Ya think if you gave a shit about genocide you’d, I dunno… Not want to risk “Literally Hitler” getting into power?
Genocide occurs with either one. Get a clue. If you dont like it, tell your reps and stfu about peoples voting decisions. Its not your place to judge their decisions with their votes.
If harris loses because of her support for genocide thats on her for not reading the room in two of only 5 states that matter.
Sucks to be her and the Democrats but thems the breaks when your partisan and incapable of doing the right thing
They think any anti-harries statement is Pro Russia and Pro Trump and calls for Stein vote.
I am not a US citizen, and the US foreign policy never change between the two parties and I will never advocate or try to tell people who to vote for.
the US foreign policy never change between the two parties
This is such a reductionist take on an incredibly broad and complex topic that I have to wonder whether you’re joking.
Well Trump is also saying good things about Genocide that’s what the article about.
Pot calling the kettle black.
That’s his point exactly.
If your only two choices are genocide 1 and genocide 2 then you’ve fucked up pretty bad as a country
Hell this country has only been around 300 years and it’s started more wars than most people can count.
Isn’t it common knowledge at this point that Jill Stein is literally a spoil candidate who only ever seems to exist every four years as a “I’m a Leftist, but I only have bad things to say about Democrats, what a coincidence?” candidate with an uncomfortably large amount of ties to Russia?
You would think so, right?
Isn’t it common knowledge at this point that Jill Stein is literally a spoil candidate
To all but the most naive it is.
this kind of rhetoric will never work against somebody who was already president. Her campaign has made a mistake, which honestly shouldn’t be big enough to crash the election but its the US and the electoral college who the fuck knows how 5000 psychopaths in swing states are going to vote after being bombarded with record breaking levels of insane propaganda…
It should be clear that the easy way to campaign on trump is to hit him hard in the economy: He had to bailout farmers because of his first round of tariffs. US steel still hasn’t recovered. Trump tariffs will not only raise prices but the resulting bailouts will drastically increase inflation and eventually he will run out of scapegoats to blame his failures on so however loyal to trump you seem to be, eventually he will blame you and send the military on you for criticizing him
edit: Just to clarify what she’s saying is correct, its just that voters swayable to this argument have already picked sides.
I really don’t understand why neither the Harris or Biden campaign just roiled out footage of the Covid-19 lockdown in a short film titled “Literally the last time this motherfucker was in charge”
Cause ya know, that would work…
They’re holding pat with, “Hey, we’re not the other guy. And that should be enough.”
And anyone who says, well maybe that’s not enough, gets lambasted.
Yeah, but you could say “We’re not the other guy… who did THIS, and that should be enough.”, point out WHY the other guy is bad…
It’s “Oh yeah, we never actually asked him what he believed would make America great again… whoops.” from 2016 all over again.
In my heart of hearts, I still feel like we’re heading to a Kamela victory, but then we look at the polls…
In Hitler’s defense, he did kill Hitler.
honestly can’t fault him for it.
I dunno, it took him ages; should’ve been higher up on his todo list.
Yeah, but he also killed the guy who killed Hitler.
but he also killed the guy who killed the guy who killed Hitler
To be fair, he also killed the guy who killed the guy who killed the guy who killed Hitler.
Yes of course they will. Trumps cultists know exactly what he is and they vote for him because of that.
It’s sad how true that is. I was talking with a conservative about the “enemy within” shit and with a straight face he said that’s how half the country feels. Ok dog, see you on the other side of the civil war I guess.
There is the autobahn… thankfully the US already has what is probably the best highway system in the world, so NOT a reason to elect Trump.
He just completed the already planned roads…
“the best highway system in the world”
😐
He wasn’t even a good artist.
He sleeps with My New Order by Hitler next to his bed. Wants to be a dictator on day 1. Sees good people at a Nazi march. Wants generals like Hitler’s. By George he just may be a Nazi. - Edited
Never did I suspect this Stephen Lynch song to not feel completely outlandish.
But her emails, I mean but his son’s laptop, I mean…
He sleeps with Mein Kampf next to his bed.
Not Mein Kampf, but rather My New Order, which is a collection of Hitler’s speeches. Trump is a fan of Hitler’s propaganda and rhetoric specifically.
Does he actually read though? Dude is weird, I guess, maybe its like some kind of security blanket; we gotta love the most racist guy we can find even though he lost his wars and shot himself in the head.
Didn’t Hitler’s generals try to assassinate Hitler?
Per the book, [former chief of staff] Kelly explained to Trump that German generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” the president is said to have responded.
…I’m not used to hearing the word “totally” in an unironic and non-sarcastic context.
Yes, but you have to remember Trump’s a “Very Stable Genius”
After they started losing I believe they did.
The only good thing they did, well tried to do.
Even Hitler tried to assassinate Hitler
His success is his greatest achievement
I can only read this guy’s name in Chris Barrie’s voice. God damn it Red Dwarf
Yes, pretty sure it may have been multiple times. Rommel was implicated in one of the plots and was why he was forced to commit suicide.
Hitler wasn’t all bad, he did kill Hitler.
Shame he waited until the end, instead of doing it at the start though.
I really wish Fascists would just follow their leader in a “We all know where this is going, let’s just skip to the end.” sense
Didn’t they already do that at least once?
The direct Hitler praise hadn’t come out before 2016. There were certainly many other serious red flags though.

Sadly, yes.
I’m really hoping “It’s a close race…” is code for “Harris is favored to win, but we rigged the polls to show them neck and neck so that there’s still a news cycle.”
“It’s a close race…” is code for
Nothing so auspicious. It’s more “we never actually have a clue, because our job is to sell ads not tell you useful information”.
News media had Obama in a tight race when it was a blowout. They had Hilary in a blowout when it was a nail biter. They called Florida for Al Gore early on election night. They aren’t honest or useful or knowledgeable in any way that makes them a valuable source of information.
there is a 100% chance of Harris winning the popular vote. Unfortunately billions of dollars spent on like 100,000 people in 7 states will be what decides the election and there’s a 1% chance of a tie which will throw it to the house of reps for some reason.
The need to reform the electoral college and ban gerrymandering has never been greater
“The constitution is meant to be a living breathing document to be updated and amended as per the country’s need, not some holy scripture that must be taken at its word.” - The Founding Fathers
Conservatives: And I ignored that completely.
Yeah its less a “constitution” and more a “treasured dead artifact” these days, like the foreskin of some 11th century pope entombed in a glass jar in a catholic church.
Hopefully it’s that and not “we rigged the polls to give some credibility to whatever bs Trump is planning”.
Oh God!
I’m worried cause I see the Democrats doing the “smart” thing of finding the exact counties they need to win. And aggressively pushing and trying to play to them alone.
And that doesn’t seem like a smart strategy. In fact it feels like Hillary or Disney’s failings where playing it safe and doing “smart” math doesn’t work to do something productive and barely scrapes them by.
I don’t see this being a landslide. And I’m worried their math will mean nothing in the real world.I love how “playing it too safe” means “That wasn’t safe at all”
Playing aggressive versus conservative is how you shepherd limited resources.
Do you stretch for extra seats in the House/Senate by spreading your money/people thin? Or do you concentrate your effort in highly contested battlegrounds to boost your odds locally, while sacrificing possibly winnable races elsewhere?
There’s arguments for all sorts of strategies, but a lot of it comes down to where the gettable extra votes are. Some races come down to strategy. Otherwise simply aren’t changeable at that stage of the fight.
It’s kinda like how prevent defense in football sometimes (or perhaps even often) prevents teams from winning.
Does she really wants the answer to that or is that a joke question?
