Biden blames jet lag and travel for poor debate performance in c/politics@hexbear.net

Okay so he’s not dropping out of the race.

Right now, America’s primary goal is to continue funding Israel’s genocide. Swapping out either candidate, who have both proved that they will continue supporting Israel, will not make that outcome more likely (that is to say, they probably won’t find a candidate who supports the genocide more than Biden or trump) they will not swap out either candidate because bankrolling this genocide is America’s singular focus right now.

Oh fuck off. (hexbear.net)
 

New York State will probably go red at some point in the next twenty years. It’s got an incredibly rare combination of some of the wealthiest capitalists in the country living in the same electorate as some of the poorest and most disillusioned. People forget that Trump was born, raised, and became wealthy in this state. That it has one of the most overfunded police departments on the planet. This kind of rhetoric would be expected from someone like desantis, but instead it’s coming from New York. Crazy.

FBI Raids Corporate Landlord in Major Rent Price-Fixing Probe in c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net
[–] Pastaguini@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

True, makes you think that whatever was happening here had to be a pretty flagrant and unignorable violation. I have a friend who works as a tenants rights lawyer and asked their opinion, and they responded with a “they fucked up bad.”

Probably going to see a few more cases like these with some of the other large corporate landlords. If Biden had any political sense he’d campaign on the fact that his dept of justice is cracking down on corporate landlords whose greed presents direct material problems in people’s everyday lives but he won’t for some unknowable reason.

Biden is toast with people under 45 isn't he? in c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net
[–] Pastaguini@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think he’s definitely toast with any voters under 25. Beyond that it gets a bit harder to say. I think he’s definitely wildly unpopular with most folks under 45 but they might just vote for him to vote against Trump. It comes down to whether people view their vote as a personal endorsement of a candidate, in which case they won’t vote for him, or as a defense against Trump, in which case they will not. If I had to guess today, I’d say Biden wins the popular vote by a slimmer margin than what Hillary won by in 2016 but then loses the electoral college because of lower turnout in the same key states that Hillary lost.

I’m still not totally convinced that the democrats care too much about winning. You’d think they would wait a few months until after the election to discuss stuff like the Tik tok ban or even additional funds to Israel. It really feels like they’re looking for ways to self sabotage so we get trump, at which point they’ll blame the left/young people. We’ll see what these next few months look like.

Biden doesn't support bodily autonomy in c/the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net
[–] Pastaguini@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The weird thing is I don’t think I ever actually heard him stutter. He speaks incoherently and says inappropriate things but he doesn’t repeat the first sounds of his words. It never really made sense as an excuse.

The new Napoleon film is absolute dogshit. (hexbear.net)
 

Joaquin Phoenix gives the absolute worst performance of his career as Napoleon Buonaparte, choosing to portray one of history’s most famously charismatic leaders, as a wooden cutout. No movie these days would be complete without Reddit/Marvel-tier quipped dialogue, and this screenplay provides it in spades. Many of the events that would naturally adapt to the big screen are skipped in favor of shots of Phoenix crawling under tables like some fucked up dog. No mention is made of Italy, and Spain and Haiti are skipped over as to avoid portraying the subject in any kind of negative light. Irresponsible and reactionary filmmaking shines through in a script that truly feels like it was written by chatgpt. The film concludes with him suddenly dying in a part that reminded me of the poochy “my planet needs me” bit. Do not waste your time. I was expecting a cheesy Hollywood retelling and it didn’t even do that, despite having more than enough source material to do so.
