Taking things online only gives the illusion of safety - especially in places like Facebook. If ‘they’ really want you, your home address is only a subpoena or two away.

Nope - not Onion.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump’s Israeli ambassador pick Mike Huckabee called Palestinians a ‘made-up’ people
10519·2 years agoI wish it wasn’t so tragic, so I could laugh at people who couldn’t vote for Harris because Biden didn’t single-handedly stop the genocide.

politics @lemmy.world•BI: AOC asked voters why they backed her candidacy and Trump's reelection. They said the economy and Gaza.
121·2 years agoThe main problem is that people don’t understand that the Vice President does not set monetary policy. Neither does the President. The Federal Reserve is supposed to be completely immune to political pressure. Fortunately, King Donald will do his best to put an end to that.
I happen to believe that the current policy was correct, and averted even worse problems - but that does not happen in a matter of months. If Trump somehow fails to fudge up the trajectory we are on, he will get to take credit for policies enacted during Biden’s presidency (again, not by Biden, but nobody will care).
I promise that if I ever get elected Tyrant, I will pay for my own domain name out of pocket.
Surprisingly, tyranny.com is for sale.
I have read all the sentences, and I agree with the first one.
What I felt needed a little commentary was the rest. See, minds more impressionable than yours and mine may come to the conclusion that voting is pointless if you can only vote for the lesser evil.
I don’t know whether she is better than you think she is - my point was that it doesn’t matter, and that speculating, postulating and pontificating about how she may not be as good as we want her to be just turns people off of voting. Which would be bad.
That was my whole point.
I won’t argue over whether she does have my best interests at heart. It. Does. Not. Matter.
I don’t want to marry her, I want her to keep Trump out of office - and right now, she is the only one who can.
Fun fact: Most exterminators don’t have your best interest in mind - they just want to make a living. Yet, they do keep the bedbugs away, so it’s all good.

politics @lemmy.world•So you don’t like Trump or Harris – here’s why it’s still best to vote for one of them
52·2 years agoAgreed.
Would it be nicer if we lived in a multi party system? Probably. Do we? No. Voting as though we are is not useful (maybe unless you live in a state that you are 100% certain can not be flipped).
If you hate one candidate even slightly less than the other, for example because the former has not yet stated that they want to punish colleges that allow pro Palestine demonstrations, vote for that first one.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•Zero overlap... Tonight's just for the freaks
40·2 years agoDid like: The radiant smile when the moderator told the two that their microphones had been cut.
Did not like: “During the last four years, Kamala did this”, “She had enough time, why didn’t she do that”, and so forth. Dude, she was not the President, and the President is not the King. I was waiting in vain for someone to point that out. Also, what’s with using the first name all the time? Would he have done that if the VP was a man?

I think too many people assume they would be the next Immortan Joe.
