74·9 months agoIs this much different than Obama directly targeting government whistleblowers? Until him no other president had targeted whistleblowers to such a large extent as Obama despite his campaign promise of strengthening protections.

politics @lemmy.world•Michelle Obama says the country is ‘not ready for a woman’ president | CNN PoliticsEnglish
121·10 months agoShe’s perpetrating the bullshit that it’s about race or gender. If that woman is continuing the exact same policies that old white men orchestrating she will lose. The public by and large is saying we are tired of old white rich men dictating our lives telling us that we are not struggling telling us that everything is fine when we can see in our day-to-day lives that is not true. People did not support Biden because people saw that Biden was a continuation of the same policies that gave us Trump the first time. And then Harris said that she would not have changed a single thing that occurred under Biden. She was a continuation of old white male policies. And any other woman that runs in the future on that same platform will lose regardless of gender regardless of race. Anyone mentioning race or gender is weaponizing race and gender as a political tool

81·10 months agoIt would be more of exactly the same except liberals would be at brunch, not noticing that it’s their party that is chasing down Haitian immigrants on a horseback or deporting immigrants in record numbers or having two back-to-back years of the largest increase of the unhoused. Every time Republicans shift further to the right Democrats are in lockstep right behind them to fill the void just left by Republicans. Did you think that Biden giving ice one of the largest federal increases of funding they have ever seen with the largest expansion of detention centers was going to go unused?

5·10 months agoAs a gay man I would rather see people in my community be able to prosper, be able to afford to live comfortably to have guaranteed housing food on their table, access to medical Care. Anything outside of that is superficial. Who cares if I’m able to get married If I can’t afford a roof over my head. That’s the major issue with Democrats, regarding the trans community, they don’t care that the trans community is the largest percentage of the unhoused among lgbtq+. They don’t care that they’re unhoused, they focus on being able to use the restroom of choice. Focusing on social issues is blatantly, denying equity and equal justice

3·10 months agoDemocrats focus on social issues like abortion and gay rights because it doesn’t impact profits, when they should be focused on economic issues like wages, housing, education, and healthcare. Focusing on people’s needs first will fix the social needs later

20·10 months agoDemocrats are right-wing, liberalism is right wing. If we overlaid the political scale from 1980 and today, Democrats would be to the far right of Reagan.

222·10 months agoDemocrats have told voters for generations there are only 2 choices to vote for. They exercised another right, abstain. If the party thought trump was a serious threat they would have primaried the senile guy that refused to step down

394·10 months agoRace and gender had absolutely nothing to do with it. Democrat voters as a whole was trying to tell the party they are tired of old white rich men making decisions for them, she did absolutely nothing to differentiate herself from those old rich white men. Voters by and large said we have a red line and that red line is genocide but she continued anyway. His administration went on day after day after day telling us that the economy is good, we are not struggling when we could see in our day-to-day lives that yes we are struggling. The only message that sends is that they are not listening to us.

11·10 months agoYou heard a critique of the economy under Biden, which was shit, and assumed it was excusing Trump? Despite them telling us everyday that we are not struggling and everything is good we knew it wasn’t. Good economies don’t have 2 record back to back levels of homelessness, people living paycheck to paycheck skyrocketed, Biden tried to take credit for those returning to work after closedowns as job recovery. Liberals only see that it’s shit now because it’s not their team doing it
