politics @lemmy.world•Jimmy Kimmel returns with what audience members describe as 'emotional' monologue, no apology
3·1 year agoSounds like he is pretending he said something wrong before.
That the right are using it to crack down on civil society, et al,is true, if kimmil is now ignoring that he can fuck off there is no use of his being there if too afraid to call out these thinly veiled attacks.

politics @lemmy.world•Pete Buttigieg Responds To Kamala Harris Confession He Wasn't VP Pick Since He's Gay
31·1 year agoLeftists do not like him because he is a nihilist Politician believing in nothing but his self-advancement. Like All of our establishment politicians.
He is as fake as Kamala and biden were and there is no way he overcomes the Party Machine in 2028 to take the election as vice president or anything.

31·1 year agoThe Democratic candidate never breached 30% approval rating the entire term and ran us the status quo in a time of anger and upheaval. You could not be right more wrong headed about this, and giving license to The Establishment to do it again.

7·1 year agoHung up on the physical characteristics of candidates and not what they actually stand for. How insulting is that to voters? If your candidate suck people will not vote for them.
Compared to the rest they were doing a decent job in many respects but it seems to me like they just gave up and surrendered any sort of journalistic Integrity just this last week. I understand they might have to bring out a pro-israel person, but not one pushing through such blatant fall cities with the interviewer nodding along and agreeing with everything they say. I got to find the name of that interviewer so I can let other people know how much of a piece of shit he is.
Nazbotz, nazbotzis.
Pbs has gotten bad lately. One of their correspondents just endorsed the lie about command and control from gazan hospitals, he saw it first hand. Then they allow some Unapologetic is real hack to come on and lie about what they are doing with no pushback. Then stuff like this. I do not know if I can even watch them anymore if they are going to just give up and run with the party line.
I’m not going to pretend to be sad when a Nazi receives what he wanted to give.
It is so sad when Nazis get what they seek to give. Very unfair.

politics @lemmy.world•Conservative Talkshow Host Blasts Pam Bondi Over ‘Free Speech’ Claim: ‘Our Attorney General Is Apparently a Moron’
11·1 year agoWrong. If hate speech is illegal those opposing the hate speech sponsored by the politicians are the ones that will be prosecuted under hate speech. How do you guys not get this by now?

1·1 year agoWhich is kind of bullshit because prosecutors cannot be trusted to tell the truth or ascertain as such. A crime is a crime and should be charged and not treated differently because the prosecutor has caused to impute motives that might never have been there.
The fools that passed these laws knew or should have known that people like Pam Bondi would be wielding them sooner or later. It did not take a lot of foresight to see how these laws would be abused but here we are.

2·1 year agoThe kind of ignores the fact that government behind the scenes leans on social media to ban users they do not like as was seen with the Homeland Security Department. They got cause from the far right and then predictably used it more against the left.
Or with israel, you won’t get banned for what you are getting banned for, they find some other pretext and because we have a zero rights online they don’t have to find something that is actually against their rules to ban you.
Social media is a public utility and needs to be regulated as such. It should be still at the state level as the feds will not do it in any good way. We should have a right to Fair enforcement of the rules, to know the decisions that went to into taking enforcement actions, and being able to appeal to a jury of our peers or whatever.

politics @lemmy.world•Nick Fuentes says he is 'being framed for Charlie Kirk murder; Tyler Robinson a 'Groyper'?
2·1 year agoSince I wrote this the Utah government was saying he was a roommates with a transsexual and suggested that was the cause. We should not expect reality too stop these people. Without organization and counter operations we are doomed here. The opposition party is lame and worthless by Design and fighting under their leadership is doomed to fail. Yet we continue to accept them in power.

politics @lemmy.world•US senators say 'America complicit' in ethnic cleansing of Palestinians after Israel visit
1·1 year agoOur senators are old hacks, chosen to be weak.
You can talk all you want about unity and moving forward but you are not fooling anyone, it only gets worse from here.
And I do not identify as a progressive, because many that do would tar me in association. Content to be the little junior partners of the moderstes that have nothing but contempt for them, that would rather the Republicans win than a progressive…
It is pathetic, and republic ending allowing this dynamic to continue.

politics @lemmy.world•MAGA's plan for a white Christian America is unfolding before our eyes
21·1 year agoA slate of true populists, a charismatic leader, and populists that fit their districts cooperating and what they agree on like the rich not fucking working people without their consent, would be wildly successful. It would rule for four to six presidential terms.
Obviously we are not going to get that but I feel like I have to try. Apparently we have to let this dumpster fire burn out, and take the Democratic establishment with it, before we can change anything because people still Trust them to run the opposition.
The president is popular because he looks like he is fighting. He is the only one that looks like he is fighting. Directing the justifiable anger of the voters albeit to the wrong sources. Which is why the rest of us hate him. Directing that anger to the right sources would be massively popular as FDR was.

politics @lemmy.world•MAGA's plan for a white Christian America is unfolding before our eyes
21·1 year agoI am not trying to be a dick either, but the same people are still in control of the opposition and fighting under them is doomed to fail. There might be a finality to elections now, we are now facing a pretty aggressive rigging. But since there is a succession battle we could still take it back with a muscular popular reform Party. I just do not want to see America get settled with a kakistocracy, rule of the worst, fixing elections.
Plus bringing the military into domestic affairs, which always ends the same way, the military sees the weakness of the political leaders and the levers of power and they subordinate the politicians and become the true rulers. Honestly the military would be an improvement over these malicious fucking clowns in politics, It could last decades.
When all we need is a new deal to usher in more prosperity for everybody, the grasping Rich included. They have no idea what they are supporting, the monster they’re supporting will destroy them which is the only silver lining here.

Caving in the first place means they cannot be trusted as one of the few remaining media conglomerates.
Boycott, divest, they will do it again.
