Hahaha yes!

It's a funny show quote ... but very sad in this case. I hate the idea that there are MAGAts happily clapping because people are being deported into what are basically slave camps.

The Nuremberg style trials cannot get here quickly enough. Simply voting this political party out of office is not enough at this point.

Lol what downvotes lmao 🤣

I think those are 50/50 ego-stroking faux-intellectuals & conservative trolls.

The Dems are not one party, but factions. There are legit opposition members, but the party is controlled by the captured opposition faction. Their job was to give the illusion of choice and legitimate democracy while playing stupid as the fascists eroded all your rights. They never undid the harm republicans brought in even when they could.

Legitimate dems were only permitted to give an aire of legitimacy to the whole dog and pony show. Yes voting matters, but the real battle was lost in the candidate selection within the DNC, where only the captured opposition are allowed to dominate.

Both -parties- ARE equally terrible. They are all in on and define the bullshit system and both are 100% two halves of the same problem.

TRUMP is a different story though. For one thing he is no more a Republican than he is a Democrat he is there to do whatever he thinks is best for him and that is it. He makes any Democrat I have ever seen look amazing in comparison. I generally vote Independent and even swore years ago that I would never vote for a D or R again without some insane change to something and I do still refuse to support either shit ass party in general. Trump is a different story though, he made me vote for a Democrat for the first time in my life. Even the normal terrible D and R bullshit looks amazing when you are watching Trump destroy the country.

Note that there are good politicians who stand out from the actual party on both sides. I would vote for some if they made it to the election just for the fact that they have a cause and a vision to help people and even if I don't like the means it is sure a hell of a lot better than the current state of affairs.

Oh yeah, they're all over Lemmy.

They will cheer on revolution, but not a single one of them would ever dream of making the first move.

Their whole deal is picking up pet causes and then making snarky remarks from the sidelines.

This smug denialism is what got us Trump the first time around and it's what got us Trump the second time as well. At least the guy acknowledges there's a problem (even though his solutions are designed to make it worse). The Dems piss on your leg and tell you it's raining. They dropped the ball by trying to play diet republican, and losing the election is on them.

If you wanna get the down vote experience, just change to a instance that shows them.

I can go to my individual comments and check the scores, but I like that I can't see any cumulative score. I'm a sucker for "number go up" games.

Lemmy isn't a competition.

Open admission to editing headlines for posting and admin knows and does nothing (shocker)

The first time I had ever heard of the word "tankie" was on Lemmy. It's just not a thing that about anybody I know offline is, or has heard of. So I don't understand the obsession with them. Even if they're doing every evil thing claimed, it's a) the metaphorical tempest in a teapot, and b) not even working, based on the number of people here who seem to make hating on tankies part of their identity.

On the contrary; they let me know when I hit a nerve. When fascists tell you what pisses them off, that's where you press.

Shit, I need to step up my game!

Don't reply to fascists. They don't deserve it

as in, a saline solution?
