Anyone that doesn't acknowledge that we are stuck with a two party system is like an obnoxious teenager mad that they got a Toyota when they wanted a Lexus. No one is happy about it but it's not going to change

Furedadmins ,

But yeah sit this one out because Biden isn't dramatically changing long standing us policy.

Biden is dramatically out of touch with voters on Gaza. He may lose because of it | Moira Donegan ( www.theguardian.com )

Many voters believe, with good reason, that none of this would have happened without Biden’s assent. Biden has continued to speak of Israel’s attack on Palestinian civilians using the absurd language of “self-defense”. He has insulted Jewish Americans and the memory of the Holocaust by invoking them to justify the...

Either stupid or selfish take your pick.

Furedadmins ,

So issue an order and have a seal team take him out since trump says that's okay.

Furedadmins ,

Even if he isn't in prison or dead by then his cognitive decline will be too much for even the most addled magas to ignore.

Furedadmins ,

It's basically the me party. Let me do whatever I want and do t impose any sort of burden whatsoever to me. Let other people pay for stuff, let other people have restrictions, that's fine but don't do anything to me. And protect me from everything bad but don't tax me even a fucking cent.

Furedadmins ,

It's been open and blatantly happening for decades. They used to hand out fucking envelopes of cash from the Russian controlled NRA on the fucking floor.

Furedadmins ,

It's disgusting how cheap these whores are.

Furedadmins ,

Those things are too late for 2048 even.

Furedadmins ,

Genocide will happen regardless. Israel is going to do it no matter what and it will be worse for the actual people dying if finish the job trump is reelected. But hey who cares because you want more people to suffer to teach democrats a lesson.

Furedadmins ,

Netanyahu is the only person that can stop it. And he isn't going to.

Furedadmins ,

Surely secret service will be paying a visit and handling this clear threat to the sitting president.

Furedadmins ,

Middle class is not the same as the rich. Trying to get various groups of not rich people against each other has been a time tested tactic to keep everyone from acting against the rich. First it was race but now it's trying to put the rural vs urban, the less fortunate vs the slightly less fortunate, union vs non union, etc.

Furedadmins ,

How would buying cookies then reselling them get them any more? If there was markup the kids would just buy from the school directly.

Furedadmins ,

Those students are lucky that piece of shit wasn't strapped.

Furedadmins ,

Sounds like a strip club off wall Street.

Furedadmins ,

And lendors think he will lose and have to actually pay.

Furedadmins ,

But he fucking said it. You can't say something then claim you can't say it. Fucking idiots.

Furedadmins , (edited )

He'd just make vroom noises and push the car around over and over

Furedadmins ,

John Breckenridges ghost sighs in relief.

Furedadmins ,

The third party voters in a handful of states absolutely ended up being the deciding factor. It's not the absolute number of electoral college votes which I think you know but instead the states like Wisconsin and Michigan that Trump won by less than the larger than typical number of green party votes. I don't think that this trick will work twice but it's certainly being astroturfed like crazy again

Netanyahu vows to defy Biden’s ‘red line’ on Rafah ( www.politico.eu )

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he intends to press ahead with an invasion of the city of Rafah on the southern border of the Gaza Strip in defiance of United States President Joe Biden, who has warned such an offensive would be a "red line."...

Furedadmins ,

I am pretty sure that Netanyahu would be using tactical nukes if they weren't worried about settling that land themselves. Not shocking he wants to keep genociding.

Furedadmins ,

400k is rich in some areas but certainly not everywhere, that's way too sharp of a curve. Someone making 400k is already taxed at 35% federally plus whatever state and local so probably close to 50. The real issue is that after 500k the rates don't change where it should be increasing logarithmically. But really after a certain point there are way too many things that the rich do to reduce their tax burden that just aren't available to everyone else, that 100k or 400k person is in reality paying a much higher percentage than someone making a million a year much less billionaires.

Furedadmins ,

What? I didn't

Furedadmins ,

Lemmy is a little wonky, no biggie :)

Furedadmins ,

I don't they'll vote for Trump either, it's more likely that they'll vote for an independent or third-party candidate or just stay at home.

I doubt they would vote for Trump either but not voting would have the same impact on the Palestinians as voting for Trump. I hope that people considering sitting it out think about what trumps finish the job comments would actually mean. It's hard to see the difference right now but I can't see any future at all with trump winning that is not full on ethnic cleansing of the region rather than the slow walking genocide that's happening now.

Furedadmins ,

Yep, pretty obvious which. Even when they try to pretend to be liberal or progressive they can't help but throw in their coded talking points.

Furedadmins ,

Yes? They love him because he gets them clicks and eyeballs. They don't seem to realize that critical pieces would get just as many without being pieces of shit.

White Rural Trump Supporters Are a Threat to Democracy ( www.thedailybeast.com )

In the popular imagination of many Americans, particularly those on the left side of the political spectrum, the typical MAGA supporter is a rural resident who hates Black and Brown people, loathes liberals, loves gods and guns, believes in myriad conspiracy theories, has little faith in democracy, and is willing to use violence...

Furedadmins ,

By and large more rural areas got affordable or accessible internet access much later so they are more succeptable to scams as well.

Panera Bread exempt from following California’s new $20 minimum wage law due to relationship with Gov. Newsom: reports ( www.yahoo.com )

Panera Bread is exempt from following one of California’s newest laws, according to multiple reports. The new law will raise fast-food workers’ minimum wage to $20 per hour and will take effect beginning April 1....

Furedadmins ,

Didn't Panera follow the tim Hortons downfall model of replacing their on premise bakeries with centralized factories?

Furedadmins ,

Do people actually believe that Israel is the United States or do troll games just not put in any effort

Furedadmins ,

Biden did not bypass Congress in the sense that Congress would have in any way blocked it, just slightly increased the speed that it happened. What was sold in that deal (anti tank missiles) are not being used in Palestine but are a deterrent for Israel against Iran escalating due to isreals deplorable genocide. The headlines make it seem like anti personal weapons to be used in their genocide but that's not what those are but no one ever thinks about any nuance at all or (gasp) reads the articles.

Furedadmins ,

They are anti tank shells. Click bait reporting just says tank shells to make people think exactly what you are claiming.

We did but facism will never go away. Before they slunk away but now fascists can connect with each other online. Instead of it being a few people that happen to meet up and connect now they can seek each other out. It's the same reason that racism has made such a dramatic resurgence. It will literally require eternal vigilance.

Furedadmins ,

It's further ahead in the US but coming elsewhere. Even in parliamentary countries fascism is coming back although since they are not first past the post not as pronounced. As long as the internet is around and there's no repurcissions for belonging to those groups they will be around.

Furedadmins ,

I don't think that's true, there's plenty of disagreement over Biden policies. It's when people try to play the both sides card, lumping Biden and Trump as both being senile or blaming the situation in Palestine on Biden that gets people riled up especially when people try to use those arguments to convince people to not vote.

Furedadmins ,

"The state is prosecuting murderers instead of jaywalkers, better let the murderers go!"

Furedadmins ,

They have constantly capitulated to extremists in their party. If even a single Republican wants to shut something down now they do since...reasons? Appearance of party unity means more than anything to them.

Furedadmins ,

less lopsided than before but still won't be representative.

Furedadmins ,

I think that it is more informative to look at statewide elections instead of assembly. Gerrymandering depressed turnout and in some heavily gerrymandered districts Republicans were running unnopossed. Looking at statewide elections instead with the new maps democrats will get 46% of seats with roughly 50% of the vote.

Furedadmins ,

I wish I was unethical enough to grift the shit out of those rubes.
