If voting could dethrone the wealthy, they wouldn’t let us do it.

It’s funny how much more favorable the comments are on this compared donnie’s original comments.

Canadians on joining the US: “oh hell no!”

Americans on joining Canada: “me too please!”

Oh yeah, it’s just fun to imagine murdering a bunch of civilians, who have absolutely no say in whose oil just sailed into their harbour. Disgusting.

Would you rather buy Saudi oil? American oil? Yeah, like that’s any better.

Greenland, even though Denmark is blue.

A game with “500+ M downloads” on google play, plus like a dozen other platforms it’s on.

If 0.001% of among us players became CEO assassins, I don’t think we’d have any CEOs left.

This looks like something you’d find in BioShock, or The Outer Worlds maybe.

I had to look it up…knew what you were thinking though!

Once again, every accusation is a confession.

“The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”

they need to address the real issues that affect all working class people.

But of course this would mean clawing back some concessions from the capitalist class, and they own both parties, so…nope.

Or were pushed away by voter suppression and hopelessness…

Unfortunately the alt-right disease isn’t limited to some arbitrary birth date brackets. It spreads to younger people all the time. You can’t just wait it out, you have to fight it, and keep fighting it.

Teslas are so bad for this, that whole “all the controls are on a big ipad” setup should be illegal.

I didn’t read too far, but,

To restrict car manufacturers and other companies from selling consumer car-related data, increase transparency regarding data practices, and for other purposes.

already skips over collecting the data, so yeah. I would guess this bill just exists for the optics, and isn’t actually intended to challenge the industry.

There’s a lot of this assumption that democrats get more votes by going for moderates. Meanwhile they’ve alienated the entire left, and (I know, not a representative sample) but my Lemmy feed is jam packed with arguments about “you have to vote blue to stop fascism” vs “I really don’t don’t want to vote in favor of genocide”. No one seems to actually like the democrats, they’re whole appeal is basically “not fascist”.

Bernie Sanders got people excited, and while not exactly a leftist, he did represent a move toward the left. But they couldn’t let Bernie happen, he was too radical, apparently. You’ve heard the term “Bernie bro”, but where are the Biden bros? They aren’t, because Joe is boring.

So I don’t think they “have to worry about moderates”. The post here claims that if they could motivate people to go vote, they’d win. So offer something fresh. Present a real alternative to the inexorable right wing decline of all of US politics. Do you not think that would work? Why are they 0% willing to consider it?

Land of the free, eh?

The word “terrorist” has an incredible power to shut off people’s brains.

I can’t trust a car no matter how Japanese it is, but… I watched a lil docuseries on dangerous roads, and it seemed like at least 80% of the vehicles (outside of heavy trucks) were Toyota. I dunno if it’s because they’re the most reliable, or because Toyota just has the market in many of these developing countries, but it was interesting.

‘danger to US security’

Oh yes that’s one of his finest qualities.

This is a list of people “to monitor and potentially groom”. You can’t exactly charge someone with “being monitored”.

Not to say collaboration isn’t happening—it sounds like it absolutely is, but this is not the list of collaborators.
