politics @lemmy.world•'They Have to Go,' Graham Platner Says of Democratic Leaders After Shutdown Cave | Common Dreams
12·10 months agoThey totally do, obviously. But, I don’t know what to tell you, if a person is so stupid they don’t see people mentioning Fetterman’s stroke based heel turn since it happened, it says more about that person. If you didn’t notice, you might either not be paying attention, or you are being purposefully obtuse, no one forgot Fetterman’s conservative stroke. Are you an aussie? That would def explain it.

These comments are the same comments I’ve been seeing on posts mentioning Fetterman for years. People hate John Fetterman. I’m also people.

34·10 months agoThat’s called a frequency illusion, you saw something and now you are noticing mentions of that thing everywhere. Isn’t the human mind amazing! I have a friend who thinks the number 42 is stalking her.
Anywho, I don’t know how you can forget that Fetterman was a progressive who stroked out and came back a republican. He still has an audio processing disorder from it.

33·10 months agoLmao, this is almost defamation against Fetterman! He may have changed his whole personality after his stroke, but at least he wasn’t a former mercenary with a totenkopf tattoo.

6·10 months agoNot enough people know about how fucking sick and gross the Kennedy retirement was. Between nepotism and blackmail. Thanks for spreading the word.

politics @lemmy.world•Supreme Court weighs appeal to overturn ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide
62·10 months agoLike a lot of what you’re saying is not arguable. But democrats lose for the same reason that republicans lose. Because the voter base is selfish, fickle, and tends to be driven by political trends which swing from “white liberal” left to the equivalent of that on the right.
The US will jump between trend driven politics and will vote for the person who meets the majority of people’s ideals.
If you have to vote perfectly every time or else you’ll lose your rights, they aren’t rights. They are privileges afforded to you by the ruling class in power. That clearly includes the Supreme Court. All this period in time is doing is reminding us we aren’t actually free people.
Maybe we’re closer to Yeoman than Serfs, but unless you have real money, you aren’t a part of the team.

politics @lemmy.world•Dems are suddenly very serious about retaking the Senate
3·10 months agoYou are 100% correct, the DNCs primaries are so notoriously corrupt that republicans have attempted to copy super delegates. The party elite picked Hillary over Obama and lost, he was so disgusted by it he didn’t even bother to pick a DNC chair, he washed his hands of them. Then they successfully did it with Bernie, the candidate with actual popular support was dumpstered for the bank’s darling, Hillary Clinton.
Then instead of even pretending, we are handed the worst candidate who ran for president in modern history. A woman who is familiar with being last place in a primary against the walking corpse of Joe Biden.
People will reject Trump again cause he and Republicans can’t govern. But the DNC kicked out David Hogg, a duly elected rep and person with real gravitas in the gun control debate, because he admitted the dems have an incumbent problem.
The DNC is truly a terrible organization.

politics @lemmy.world•Gavin Newsom leading JD Vance among young men: Republican pollster
5·10 months agoNewsome is terrible. He’s a slimy rich boy who is exceptional at playing demographics.
People are excited cause this gerrymandering thing was a win. The dude has been enabling PG&E to kill hundreds of people in Northern California and handed them more power in relation to solar installation. He’s not that far off from his democratic cuck podcast phase where he let popular republicans shit down his throat cause he thought that would make him more popular nationality.
Newsome will sell the nation out for money, or power, he doesn’t care about California, he cares about looks. DNC loves a plastic-surgeried, rich candidate as much as republicans do. You can hope they do better, but people are shallow.

2·10 months agoOh man i wish, I was a teenager and my mom came in and told me and my girlfriend a plane just hit the WTC. We turned on the TV and it was every channel. Watched the second plane hit.

31·10 months agoYeah I agree, we’ve been truly fucked since Doge. This might be the end of the experiment, but the empire will limp along for a long time, it’s just how comfortable it is to sit in the maw for us plebs.

51·10 months agoSame as the first Trump admin. Dude can’t govern, and people will respond to that. Except this time he’s ethnically cleansing rather than just doing covid wrong.
Everyone in the US better hope dems can field a candidate through their fucked up primary system that’s gonna be young and re-electable. It’s gonna take at least 8 years to even slightly unfuck this mess.
You think Geneva convention is part of the establishment democrats in any way, shape or form… dude, I don’t know how to tell you this, these people are communists.
You’re not in some liberal conspiracy, to them YOU are the liberal conspiracy.
I think it was the totenkopf? Like I’ve read multiple times the dude referred to as “my totenkopf”. Even if this is a bad judgment thing keeping it that long, that’s not ok. Like I don’t agree with everything Geneva says, but they nailed this one.
Do you just go from meme to meme taking it super serious?

23·10 months agoI know all that, why i said it’s too little too late, he’s had years to do this the right way. Now i know forever he still has what he described to friends as “my totenkopf” is with him forever just under that tattoo.
To little, to late!

I agree with you, but also the communist bad vs capitalist bad meme war and the corresponding comments are the only reason I’m still on the fediverse.
With no conservative presence to speak of, you get to see why no unity is possible between groups of any significant size. Leftists will continue to shatter into smaller groups and those groups will vie for dominance inside of the movement. Each group will develop purity tests to identify members.
Even amongst groups of capitalists, even amongst groups of communists, even amongst groups of lgbtq+ people and the sub groups to which they apply. Especially when those groups interact.
The human animal is amazing! The only thing most people agree on is violence is required to move society in any significant direction. That tells you everything you need to know about humans.
