I’d expect people on lemmy to know better; anywhere else though, yeah, fair

The SRA exists; actual leftists know and understand that the second amendment is not limited to maga hogs

Biden wins, there *will* be a different Democratic nominee in 2028. And if you want it to be someone more in line with your thinking than Biden, well you know what you gotta do in 2028.

I’d say it needs to be sooner than ‘28, more like as soon as the election is over

Ah, I think I misread something, got it

The aid packages were separate votes, most did not vote against aid for Israel

Israel aid and Ukraine aid were two separate votes

Because the Soviet Union was a communist dictatorship, which the GOP hated (the communist part of it, anyway), and modern Russia is kleptocratic oligarchy, which the GOP loves. Easy enough to tease out, really.

Conscience and consciousness are not the same thing

That’s pretty much my argument, yeah. Also, to the people who support Israel because they want to usher in the return of Christ: they’re trying to force god’s will. Do they not understand that god would be absolutely wrathful over their arrogance? There’s no rapture for them. Not that there will be a rapture in the first place, but that’s beside the point.

[1] What’s to say that someone getting an abortion isn’t god’s will?

[2] How can anyone really claim to know what god’s will even is in the first place?

Patent trollery, but white hat? I can get behind that

Plungers wrapped in cheap tinfoil, don’t want to give them anything they can melt down and sell

Stand up, raise your hands, and shout, “McDonald’s!”

I quit with apps on LG after whatever I was watching or doing would cut out with an error message saying that the TV was out of memory. It was particularly egregious when I was playing video games. Now I have a Roku sound bar, but look where that’s gonna get me.

Goddammit wrong season again

Ehh, I think it’s more that we have to be a better electorate and put better people in office in the first place, even (and especially) when there is a dem majority. Like I said, we have had the tendency to get complacent when that’s the case. It also doesn’t help that, for a long time, we didn’t have a cohesive message—when Occupy was happening, everyone’s demands were all over the damn place and just came off as diffuse and disorganized. But like I also said, it sounds like we’re getting better about it, though I don’t know whether that’s because this place really does lean heavily left, not reflecting the population at large. That may not be such a bad thing though, this place could be a good place for planning action.

I don’t disagree that the democrats are, at best, milquetoast, feckless do-nothings, but fighting everyone at once seems like it’s going to be an abject disaster with any victories being pyrrhic, if existent at all. I hope I’m wrong. I just don’t want my daughter, anyone’s daughter, to become a brood mare for the dominionist state.

Fine. Trump ‘24 then. Whatever, he’ll fix it.

Orange man is going to crank it up to 11. Dems range from feckless to complicit, none of us disagree. The GOP would just straight-up take over for Israel if they can get away with it (they probably will) and they’ll sanction murder of people within our own borders.

Blue man is so not good enough for you that you’ll actively support escalating a genocide. Very enlightened, great job.
