Good thing money is free and not held in majority by a small group of people already politically co-ordinated to only allow two options to you for the sake of pretending the US isn’t a one party state.
Also if it was all about fundraising, Bernie would have been president, but it isnt about fundraising, its about who’s funding you.
Who’s trying to restrain the genocide? Last I checked Biden says nice things then does nothing but send more weapons?
Doesn’t matter, that option is not one of the two choices.
This is the cause of voter apathy btw, when you tell people there’s no way to stop genocide, they’re not going to feel like they can effect change. And when voter apathy sets in democrats lose. Democrats know this, yet pursue political avenues that foster voter apathy. I live in a blue state, nothing I can do will save the Democrats from themselves.
Hilarious when statistic are saying that of the voters getting apathetic they tend to be black and/or female. But stand on the name of those groups while you ignore how they’re actually moving some more.
Tell me what percentage of the country was able to cast a vote by march 12th, because it’s not the majority. Most of us will never get a say before the primaries are over.
There’s a difference between voting for an ideal candidate and not being able to vote for one materially supporting a genocide. “not funding genocide” isn’t an ideal, it’s a bare minimum. If not funding genocide is ‘idealistic’ to you, then I want no part of anything you’re trying to sell and normalize.
Fascism is the reason we don’t like fascism.
That phrase was never meant for center right democrats, it was only there to sheepdog those who demand candidates not beholden to the billionaire class. You can’t “vote blue no matter who” those types, they’ll vote republican because at the end of the day most of them belong to social classes not threatened by conservatism, 4 years is no skin off their back, they may even see their IRAs grow. We’re nothing but a voting bloc to them, and that’s why things like Malcolm X’s quote on white moderates is so relatable to many non black progressives, both groups know what it’s like to be only included in appearance and only spoken to when votes are needed. How many more black elected officials do we have now, and yet the Democrats still fail Black voters perennially. I would have to ignore 60 year of history to think the progressive cause would do better if (and that’s a big if) we can get more of them elected. If there’s a path forward through the democratic party, it’s eluded the black community for long enough to see cop lynchings increase and I don’t think ‘progressive issues’ like ‘stop killing the environment before we all die’ have the time necessary to go the same route that’s been taken from Malcolm X to now.
You see how that’s a problem that the government cant agree on making things better for people but can agree on ban something millions enjoy so their donors can have more control over the data of that thing right?
Its not exactly a great example of democracy when we can’t raise wages when the price of groceries is rapidly increasing but we can ban apps where kids make 15 second clips of them dancing.
The US loves a fascist when they’re the ones installing them.
Protip, not talking about the problems is also not a solution. Seems you just like your silence. Half the articles posted on lemmy have no solutions presented, yet we don’t find people saying things like this on those. I wonder why.
Also on the face of it its a ridiculous asertation. Should people only post articles about problems they themselves have solutions for? Because that sounds wholly stupid.
Almost like they use buzzwords to obfuscate the real meaning of the ideas that threaten their hold on power.
But Biden made it so only the companies that operate close enough to us to actually abuse the data can get it! Thats so much better than countries and companies who have no means to influence my life outside of Facebook ads having it duhhh. Because PATRIOTISM!
He was a mid StarCraft 2 player who said funny things when he got mad, I have no idea how it got to this. He was never funny on purpose, it was funny watching him be salty and now hes some political commentator.
Only hearing from family when they deem it important enough to pick up a phone and call or text me directly is one of the benefits of not having social media presence with non any anonymous accounts for me.
Babe wake up, new marketing term for concentration camps just dropped.
You wanna use China as the example we should aspire to legislate like?
He’s being pressured out so the US doesn’t have to stop funneling money to their interest keepers in the middle east and he’s far from the only one in the government wishing vile things upon both Gaza and the West Bank. This is a band aid on a bullet hole.
Congratulations Bibi, you’re next up in the long standing tradition of scapegoating. We know the next guys not gonna be much better and the problem with Israel are deep a systemic, but it’ll at least force a new media cycle where Isreal will have less eyes on it. Horray.
Every Russian think they’re gangster until the snow starts speaking Finnish.
Oh then it’s okay he didn’t even try anything until he realized he was so unpopular people are asking him to step down.
