Trump listens to money and clout. He isn’t a Zionist.

Biden is. Kamala would have been because she has no fucking spine.

Can liberals stop dividing the people when the 2024 GE happened a YEAR ago and INSTEAD focus our efforts on the current fucking administration??

Fuck Israel. Free Palestine.

And if you know the history of Zionism, then you’ll know that both the Zionist and National Socialist parties in pre-WWII Germany and Europe complemented each other.

The Nazis got going before the Zions did, but both are siblings of each other.

The Zions have had time to more perfect their fascism tho

Kubuntu FTW!!!

Bro, the shooter’s truck has two American flags, and his house has a Trump/Vance campaign sign.

You can’t sidestep this one. Sorry. MAGA dealt this one, not leftists

And actually, MOST homicides and mass shootings in the US are caused by right wing nutjobs. Don’t listen to Fox News’ propaganda

Welcome in! Enjoy your stay.

All I’ll say is that Lemmy is smaller than Reddit, so naturally a lot of convos default to politics and tech.

Because of that though, you’ll be exposed to potentially new ideas regarding both. So be open minded! But also know that you can block users, communities, and instances if you find them unbearable.

Genocide is NOT a stupid cause to get hung up on. It is literally the worst crime that can be committed.

More than 90% of Democrats believe that there’s a genocide happening, and they want it to stop.

Politicians are supposed to LEAD their constituents, not follow. Kamala has no North Star, so she was doomed from the start.

The best thing she could have done was take Walz’s lead, but the donor class swiftly shut that shit down.

You tell me if we have a functioning democracy

Kamala had momentum before the DNC because she was choosing progressive partners like Tim Walz and seemed to be diverging from Biden.

Then she gave her DNC speech, and locked in her policies as Biden 2.0.

Sure Russia helped, but Harris holds the most blame as to why she lost.

This assumes that the people of the world will submit to the capitalists, and won’t push back against this bullshit.

I wouldn’t bet on that happening

Why?

I’m Gen Z, and Mamdani is the better candidate. I don’t live in NYC.

In typical Democratic fashion, the Democrats blame the voters for not “Voting Blue No Matter Who™” rather that adopting progressive, popular policies.

Vote these skeletons out

Kamala sucked bro. She started out with a promise of change, which saw her soar to knew heights as her campaign reached $1bn+ funding from a large proportion of individual donors.

But then around the DNC, she became Biden 2.0. And that turned people off because Americans had just kicked his ass off the campaign.

Politicians don’t automatically get to have our vote. They earn it through campaigning. The mentality of “Vote Blue No Matter Who” has unironically led to the Democrats racheting towards the Right. It happened in 2016, and it happened in 2024.

Voting AGAINST something, which Kamala made a majority of her campaign about, appears to not be as good of a rallying cry as voting FOR something.

I voted for Kamala btw. But I criticized her from start to finish in hopes to extract more concessions that she ended up allowing.

Shame on the DNC

There have been other times in the USA’s history where rich robber barons have held the majority of power.

Thankfully, class consciousness (and political integrity) had emerged enough during those times for the working class to claw back freedoms they lost to the capitalists. Look at May Day for how we earned a 40 hour work week and weekends.

I do agree with you though. There is more wealth disparity today than any other time in human history. The working class response to this betrayal by the rich must reflect this in kind, and achieve unprecedented levels of equity and equality compared to any other time in human history.

That may sound ideal, but it’s necessary. Suffering across the world may have decreased in the past 40-50 years, but the benefits of technology and the 21st century have not trickled down to the workers. Stuff should be cheaper because we’ve displaced our labor with robotics and freed our time and energy with better tools (e.g. assembly lines). It is a crime that things have only gotten more expensive as time has passed.

Power over the masses is of course the culprit. Capitalist power ensures the majority are enslaved to their 9-5s, their student loan debt, and even the ever prescient force to abolish ownership of stuff in favor of rent. There’s a reason why socialism is becoming a popular ideology in Democratic and Left-leaning populations: capitalism isn’t apart of it.

The US has always been fascist, since Manifest Destiny up to and after WWII. Fascism is just now turning inward towards the people who never thought they’d see this end of the stick.

Still, despite all the hatred and forces pushing us apart and pinning us down, this is our opportunity to restructure the country and make reparations to those we’ve wronged.

Have radical optimism in the face of radical hatred.

How ugly that is to admit it out loud. What a fucking racist

I converted to Linux as soon as one of the shit Windows 11 updates bricked my 5-year old laptop that was working fine previously.

Kubuntu 4 lyfe! ✌️🤪

We aren’t calling for violence.

We are celebrating that violence occurred.

Cause and effect are two different things. Please tell me you learned them in school.

We can be happy when others die. That is not the same as calling FOR them to die.

Apartment?
