“Can’t believe he talked his way OUT of a sure thing.”

People are great at stealing defeat from the jaws of victory!

Countdown to this guy being arrested for abusing kids or found to be hiring male escorts.

To provoke a reaction and they were successful.

Trump is even more favorable towards that policy than Biden is, and while Harris isn’t Biden, it seems hard to imagine she’d be much worse than current administration on that issue.

What liberal brain rot is this?

Biden is fully engaging with his policy of genociding Palestinians. Harris has said that she will carry on with the policy with absolutely no change.

The fucking dissonance you people walk around with is astounding!

And before you come out with the usual other shit floating around your vacuous head, no, I’m not advocating voting for the shitty pants trust fund rapist.

You people cannot seem to grasp that what is being done in the Levant will be done to you. The DOD had just updated it’s rules so they can use lethal force against you.

It’s coming and you’ll are too fucking partisan to realise that you’re turkeys all voting for Christmas!

Their tiny liberal brains can’t handle anything that isn’t a binary choice.

They have fully accepted, absorbed and now spout George W Bush’s slogan of “You’re either with us or with the terrorists” without any irony that they are the terrorists!

You’ll get a tax rebate if you bury him on a golf course

Maybe their internal polling is real strong, and she feels confident that she can win without these dissenters.

It would appear that shes shifted right and is bringing onboard Trump disillusioned Republicans. Liberals will always align with the far right rather than work with the left.

Harris has been given so many warnings that her Gaza policy could cost her the election, and she’s been given so many chances to give a little ground on this issue. But at every turn, she keeps shouting her dissenters down, rather than finding ways to invite them into her coalition.

You watch, once she loses, the vitriol that will be unleashed towards the left for not blindly and unwaveringly supporting her and her pro-corporate genocidal policies will be immeasurable. They will rather try beat the left into obedient submission or purge them from the party completely and alienate them within the electorate for the next election than do some self analysis and admit they were wrong.

The system sucks, but with an election this close, a protest vote is a half vote for fascism.

“Vote the neolib genocide enabling candidate not the neolib genocide enabling candidate that I dont like!”

What I find incredulous is that there has been so much hand-wringing here about how Lemmy.ml are a bunch of despotic regime apologist tankies, yet a lot of people here are bleating like a bunch of fucking sheep “If you dont vote Democrat then the largest imperialist industrialised killing machine in human history will fall, or at least become slightly worse under the orange man!”

You know, its about fucking time the US empire collapsed.

“But millions will suffer if it does” those imperialist apologists will bleat. Billions are suffering currently because of it.

But if you want US imperialism and it’s unfettered support and participation in several genocides and conflicts around the globe, syphoning trillions into the military industrial complex while ignoring domestic needs yet constantly playing the “Dont vote for the bogeyman. Vote for us instead because at least we’re not the bogeyman!” and wheeling out the “but trust us bro, we’ll seriously look into doing something about all your concerns next election cycle” bullshit, then yes, give your support to Harris without question.

Or, you know, you could put her over the fucking coals BEFORE the election and let her know that unless she course corrects immediately, not in 30 days after the election, she ain’t gonna get your vote and if trump gets in then that’s all on the democrats and no-one else

Of course some don’t believe the lies but they sure love setting fire to things and watching them burn

Saw a comment elsewhere that someone who shrugs off being called weird is better to know than the one who gets upset by it.

The far right are seething about being called weird because they see themselves as they cool kids who laugh at others for being weird so it’s really got under their skin.

The right has made major ground the last few years because any explanation leftists give they like to provide context which bogs them down.

Calling JD Vance a weirdo couch fucker for example, is succinct, visceral and keeps them on the backfoot as the far right cannot process their emotions at the speed that the left can.

And if I bring stuff to cater for myself such as halloumi, veg sausages, etc, don’t expect me to share with you!

There are many others pulling his strings

Do a “site:reddit.com your username” search & you’ll find that all your comments are still there.

This is the shortsightedness of US politics:

On the one hand you have a spoilt rapey trust fund brat that’s too stupid but will implement fascism in behalf of those whispering in his ear verses a near dead self proclaimed zionist actively taking part in the genocide of the Palestinian people and in doing so has side stepped Congress multiple times to carry out that participation and promises to do stuff if you vote him in but despite having control of all 3 branches of govt, does fuck all.

So who do you vote for?

It’s either eat the shit in some fake consensual choice and fucking smile about it or get force fed it whether you like it or not, and you all do this every 4 years but never stop to ask why you’re all eating shit

Lately I’ve found myself info dumping on people about some tangentially related subjects that I’ve been reading about over the last decade:

• Loss of the ‘third place’
• Privatisation of public space.
• Decimation of the high street & how removing, not increasing parking spaces will be instrumental in reviving it
• How out of town retail shopping parks contributed to the obesity epidemic.
• Why the UK has seemingly unique weather compared to it’s neighbours

The video shows the ship losing power & all it’s lights going out prior to hitting the bridge.

Apparently, it’s not the first time it’s collided with something though.
