Don’t worry, they’ll still let you know.

Democrats don’t have the spine to undo this shit show. They will hold status quo until the GOP can drag us further down.

I’m so over the victim complex of these nitwits.

Lol hard to beat free

QNAP still seems OK, but avoid synology. They are always working on some enshittification scheme.

I think he’s very good at political discourse regardless of side. He probably did pay lip service to make the situation agreeable so he didn’t come out with a powerful enemy.

It’s a wise move even if most would not be humble enough or secure enough to present themselves in a way that let’s them continue on with their agenda, while also making trump think he’s the “top dog”.

I’m not concerned about Mamdani so far. If he manuvered trump into a friendly position without compromising his objectives and positions, that’s expert politicking rather than a point of concern.

No? Centrism in the US is skewed too far to the right for me to considered it centrist anymore. Even if adjusted for the skew though I’m not sure I’d find it a good platform. I’d like to see Mamdani as NYC mayor, and other progressive candidates winning their respective elections.

I was calling this hope-baiting because the same kinds of articles always creep up right before any election. “Ohhh look, dems could win! It’s looking bad for the GOP!” only for a bunch of voters to pull out foot guns and not vote, and then see another stooge put into a seat of power.

I am at a point where I don’t feel entitled to any hope. And I don’t want to see people deluded by articles that give a false sense of security that the next vote will oust a bastard and install a decent human. Complacency will doom the whole effort. Make people think it’s in the bag, and fewer will turn out to vote thinking things will be fine without them.

Every single vote will matter in fighting against this bald tyranny facing us now.

Por que no los dos?

Getting tired of hope-baiting only to be disappointed.

Here you go meme boi

Let me just double check here, by ML are you meaning users from lemmy.ml? Or something else?

If someone better comes along I’d definitely be happy to see them. Would rather candidates not have concerning shit in their past like this.

And you really like to lump everyone together so you can stereotype them and blanket dismiss them to avoid and ignore any actual productive engagement.

I love that skit, seen it so many times along with most of the wkuk stuff, the emblem wasn’t something I paid attention to. So I only found out about this emblem being a nazi thing when all this platner stuff broke. Not excusing him, just saying that it really isn’t unbelievable to have not seen that emblem before in the right context to know what it means.

wOrD hArD. iS oK. 👌👌💯🍆💦🍑🥵👉👌🙏🙏💯💪

No shit. We all watched it happen in half speed. Fuckers enabled this dystopia

Ah ok, gotcha, thanks for the information. Sounds very polarizing in his behavior.

I’m trying to follow the conversation here but I am unsure who Hasan is. The only person I’m aware of that’s famous enough to be recognized by that name is the comedian. Has he become more involved in politics or is it someome else?

Yeah, they don’t seem to know what they want to say, they’ve been fingerpointing and blaming and trying to reframe their statements as others misunderstanding when really they just weren’t clear.

Just wants to sow confusion if they even realize what they are doing. Because some points are correct, but then there is a load of hogwash, equivocating, and I hesitate to frame it this way because of overuse/misuse but, narcissistic gaslighting tactics.
