That’s why I’ve put her only on second place from the top. It’s a nice thing that she’s flipped a seat, but it’s not gonna start a reform of the party. The reform is gonna come from Mamdani’s win and Pelosi’s retirement.

Yeah, I agree, that is also very important. But I still think that getting rid of Pelosi and the other ghouls in the DNC would/could be the most important thing right now. The Democratic Party desperately needs a renewal, a progressive reform and to embrace real left-wing, socialist politics to save the middle class from sliding down and help poor people to break out - as opposed to give in to every wish and whim of billionaire oligarchs who are stealing literally all wealth from the rest of society.
The whole ‘let’s follow the republicans further and further to the right to grab the centrist’s votes’ idea clearly is not working. It is not making peoples’ lives better (except for the oligarchs). And it is not even helping democrats win elections and secure power any more.
Appeasement didn’t work against the nazis, why would it work against MAGA?
But unfortunately Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries and the rest of these cronies are all absolutely hellbent on keeping up with the appeasement. They all need to retire or get primaried, or the US is lost to fascism for who knows how many decades.

Yeah, he was joking. But JFC, what a self important, egotistical prick! He manages to brag about him being the VP twice in under 30 seconds.

3·2 years agoWhen the state executes a convicted murderer, it is not terrorism. If someone murders their spouse out of jealousy, it’s not terrorism. When a serial killer murders 10 people, it is still not usually terrorism.
But when a radical minority group wants to push their political/religious agenda and subdue, oppress the general population by randomly murdering a bunch of them - that IS terrorism.
All of the above are murders, but not all of them are terrorism.
The same is true for every other type of aggression, including doxing. They can be used for many things in many cases. They can be used as a means of oppression, or the oppressed can use them to fight back against oppression. Almost all forms of aggression can be used for the good of society (e.g. by the police against criminals, or by the revolutionists against their oppressors) and of course for bad reasons as well. It all depends on the situation.
So no, doxing does NOT equal terrorism. But it can be used as such.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•There's lots to criticize Harris and Dems for. Nonetheless...
34·2 years agoI don’t know which TV have you been watching, but you seriously have zero fucking clue about who Kamala Harris is. She specifically just vowed to do everything to reach piece in Gaza: https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/us-election-2024-donald-trump-rhetoric-darkens-kamala-harris-vows-gaza-peace-in-final-hours-6938437
It’s enough to whatch a few interviews with both Trump and Kamala to know about their character and where their heart is. None of them are particularly good liars, actually their both pretty bad at it. The difference is: Trump voters don’t care at all how many lies he’s telling them, so he does it constantly. Kamala’s voters immediately start turning away from her when she’s caught/seems to be lying, so she can’t really afford to do it. It’s the classic double standard between D and R candidates on all levels.___

54·2 years agoShe most certainly isn’t OK with it. She said she wants to end the war and have peace several times. She is not a sociopath, unlike Trump, so if she had the means, she would gladly stop supporting Israel with guns. Unfortunately, she does not - at the moment. Why does she not?
Because Israel and Bibi is supporting both Democrats and Republicans in the US elections, and has been for decades (although Bibi naturally leans towards Trump recently, as a fellow autocrat and dictator-wannabe). But Israel is actually lobbying for both sides and partially financing them, as well as having a lot of media under their control that can campaign for or attack any or both of them. They arguably can influence 1-2-3% of voters to swing one way or the other. And that is enough to keep both D and R parties/candidates on their sides, as the gap between the two parties are so small, that those few percents could easily decide the election.
So what would be a solution? If both D and R are dependent on Israel to win elections, what could be done? Well, if one side would win by a huge margin, bigger than those few percents, than they would no longer need the political support from Israel. Of, course, if this was Trump, he would still support them, because he likes other dictators and wannabe dictators, like Bibi, Putin, Orbán or Kim. They all help each other out against democratic countries.
But if Kamala would have a commanding win, that would actually enable her to not care about Israel’s political support anymore and do the right thing: end military support for Israel and thus stop the genocide. Let’s hope that she will have this power.
