You can't be so ashamed of being associated with the so called far left when running for office, only to blame them for not showing up to vote for you when you lose.
Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul is a reminder to us older folks not to get into a dangerous situation with younger folks.
No matter how tough you were as a young man, everybody gets old and weary. The weariness starts kicking in your late 30's to early 40s.
Corporate media with a liberal bias hasn't been covering the genocide well enough but that would change next year when Trump takes over.
They'd make it seem like the devastation hasn't also been consistently happening during the Biden/Harris administration, and some people would fall for it.
The AOC I love will make a return next year when Trump gets into office. I'm looking forward to it.
If Democrats regain control of Congress in the future, she'd revert to her less progressive self. It's a game.
The main reason the Democratic party establishment shares our concerns about the Republican Party controlling Congress is that the Republicans will demonstrate to the American people that a lot can be achieved with a slim majority. This will eliminate excuses when the Democrats eventually take over.
Why are black men among those being blamed for Kamala losing?
Do people not know that a 78 percent support is huge?
Other than by black women, support of Harris by other demographics didn't even reach 55 percent!
New to Bluesky? You may want to try Openvibe; it's a Bluesky third-party app.
If you've got them, you can also link your Mastodon, Threads and Nostr accounts to it.
Future Democratic presidential candidates will most likely cozy up less to the Clintons and to Republicans next time. They'd be insane to keep moving the same way.
Trump won the election but I hope Harris overtakes Trump to win Michigan.
Although it is now clear that Arab and Muslim Americans are not to blame for Harris losing this election, if she loses Michigan, the media will try to do jujitsu and pin the blame on them.
Perhaps the only positive from Trump winning is that the left will finally be united in calling out the genocide and any other atrocities against minority groups in the country.
When it's their team doing it, Democrats tend to look the other way. Now there will be a giant flashlight on it.
I suspect that Rodri being touted as the most likely winner of the Balon d'Or is just to get people to watch the ceremony, and then they'll hand it to Vini.
I hope Rodri wins it tho. 🤞🏽
See? That's how they got me to watch it!
Due to how bad actors have been known to operate, I don't intend to donate directly to individuals but to one of the trustworthy organisations working to aid those in Gaza.
Henceforth, I intend to donate monthly with the little I have to one of such organisations.
When some people commit murder, they turn themselves in despite knowing they may never get caught.
Now imagine feeling guilty cause our tax dollars go towards genocide. One wouldn't want to back a genocidal candidate if they felt guilty enough. Not voting for Kam is kinda like turning ourselves in.
Democrats think only Muslim and Arab Americans care about this genocide enough not to vote for Harris. Wait till they find out some of us are neither Arab nor Muslim.
Then again, if Harris loses, they'll ignore our existence and only blame it on Stein, Muslim and Arab Americans.
It's a politician's job to do jujitsu to gain votes, not mine as a voter.
I'll always back who I believe to be the best candidate regardless of their ability or inability to win.
It seems like madness but one can vote third party and still want Kamala to beat Trump, and vice versa if you're right-leaning.
I just voted for Chase Oliver cause Jill Stein was kicked off the Nevada ballot.
I may disagree with him on lots of issues but he got me on his stance on the Genocide.
Some say that Harris would deal differently with Isreal and that she's only aligning with Biden cause she wants to win the election. There was a time I bought into that point of view.
If that's in fact true, then because she would be eyeing re-election, she won't do anything different for 4 years.
Whenever I see on the news that Isreal strikes a particular location, my mind replaces the word 'Isreal' with the 'US'.
We are really the ones doing the strikes and killing lots of people. It goes without saying that without our support, there would be no strikes.
Even if the far right were to succeed in taking over the government and do a lot of bad stuff, it still wouldn't measure up to the genocide we have wrought on Palestinians in Gaza.
Is there an Arc browser developer somewhere on this app? I've got a question.
I submitted the question through the proper channels but just trying my luck here as well.
Elon Musk is morphing into Trump 2. I can see him running for and winning the Presidency as a republican after Trump is done.
Imagine being on the left and driving a Trump car, or in this case, a Musk car.
At that time, his name would be just as detestable as that of Trump.
Imagine taking a pill and sleeping for just an hour but it gives you all the benefit of sleeping for over 8 hours.
That's the sort of advancement in medicine that I need. 😎
If one's intention is to vote third party, the wrong move for Democrats is to vote shame them as that would only solidify their position.
Vote shaming is even more damaging when used on someone who is torn between third party and voting Dem. Where they may have voted Dem, it closes that option.
I'm going to say this; the only way to stop the democratic party from kicking third parties off the ballot, is to work with republicans who like Dems, falsely think that it's going to help their cause.
Leftist third parties have to also play dirty as a means of fighting these undemocratic moves.
The latest smear on Jill Stein is that to get back on the ballot in Nevada, she is wrong for hiring a lawyer who once represented Trump.
Do you think if she hired a lawyer who is sympathetic to the Democratic party, they'd let her back in?
Leftists can and should play politics too.
Most people wouldn't risk their lives to protest against injustice and that's okay. I'm in that category.
I just wish they wouldn't go about making fun of those who do. It's disgusting.
Rest in peace Matt Nelson.
To be brutally honest, Kamala's parents are the main reason why I might vote for her.
Being the daughter of a Marxist and a civil rights activist, anti-oppressive/anti-genocide values must've been instilled in her.
I'm willing to take a gamble that she'd betray AIPAC and do right by Palestinians.
I'm fickle once again on Kamala tbh.
I might end up voting for her but only because there is a chance that she'd be tough on Netanyahu.
She threaded the line better than she's done in the past when talking about Israel and Palestine.
Is it just me or does it feel like Kamala would keep losing votes whenever she speaks?
When people didn't know where she stood, it was easy to assume where she stands but now she is making things clear and people aren't going to like it. It feels more like Biden 2.0 unfortunately.
I would've been perfectly fine with Kamala's speech tonight had the DNC not purposely stopped Palestinian Americans from speaking while allowing Israeli Americans to do so.
She should've allowed both. Instead, it feels like her administration would prioritize one over the other.
Our political system is so corrupt and permeates everywhere that I'm sure that Bernie saying that we should get corporate money out of politics makes him seem like a radical leftist to a lot of people who have accepted the corrupt reality of our system.
They want you to fear Russia and China, that they would be the reason for a nuclear weapon going off.
In reality, Israel are more likely to launch a nuke on Iran than Russia or China doing something similar.
The Vote Blue No Matter Who types used to argue that since Trump wouldn't do a thing about Gaza that it's okay to vote for Biden. I hated that point of view cause if both aren't helping then there is no use voting for Biden.
With Harris, there is a slight possibility that she might be different.
The OpenVibe app that combines the major social networks, minus Twitter and Reddit, is the future.
I'm surprised no other app is doing something similar.
Of course they are new but they are so on the right path.
Once they add certain features, I'm sure they'll take off.
YouTube Music recently baked AI into its app. No, I'm not talking about something similar to Spotify DJ.
It's more like Chatgpt but for music. You describe with few or as many words or texts what you want it to play and it does its job.
There are also preselected options to choose from. I love it.
If you pick Haaland in FPL, you'd most likely share a template with people who pick Haaland.
Going without him provides various ways to go different. I have a feeling that non-Haaland teams will excel this season
Not a fan of alcohol anymore cause it's like I no longer feel its effects like I used to.
Maybe that's an indication of an underlying medical condition. Either that or alcohol doesn't affect people as much as it did when they were younger.
Not excited about Kamala but I'm curious as to how her presidency would differ from that of Biden.
That curiosity is enough for me to vote for her.
Couple that with the fact that I read that her parents are leftists. There should be something good coming from her but I don't know what it'll be.
Backed Bernie and saw with helplessness how the establishment ganged up and prevented him from being the nominee.
It's kinda fun to see them do the same to the candidate they chose back then.
Next time we have a populist candidate, liberals will understand what the word 'establishment' means.
Been listening to the new Eminem album a lot. If I were to rush and rate it this early, I'd give it a solid 8.5/10.
If there are tracks you don't vibe with musically, he ensures to make up for it with entertaining but quality lyrical content that grabs your attention.
What's new is that after that first debate, the establishment and corporate media are no longer willing to cover for Biden, so now they put everything under the microscope and tell it like it is.
The left talked about it but were denied a proper primary and called conspiracy theorists.
When we demand good things from our President, the excuse is that it's too radical and that Republicans wouldn't allow it.
Now we are supposed to believe that Trump would not only adopt but easily pull off the radical Project2025?
How about Democrats wouldn't allow it? Surely, It should go both ways?
