Warren just comes out of the woodwork every 4 years to try and take up the moderate votes, so they are less likely to vote for any actually good candidate. She needs to go. Plus, she’s too old. Just like the majority of our government. We need an age cap.

The top set of images needs to be removed, then copy the bottom images to the top. Then the meme is accurate.

Unfortunately- in this case- self-preservation is usually a very strong drive in human nature.

Trump card: There was even greater Democratic (and independent) support for Trump’s approach to immigration, suggesting opposition attacks on his controversial deportations are not widely resonating. In total, 49 percent of voters approved of the administration’s handling of immigration, vs. 33 percent who disapproved. Strikingly, a quarter of all Kamala Harris 2024 voters approved of the president’s immigration policy. That’s quite a number.

(Another caveat: This poll was in the field for almost three weeks, but ended just before the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles that provoked Trump to send in the National Guard. It’s untested how those events affected voters’ views.)

I don’t trust those numbers, personally. I’m sure there are other sources out there that can find an almost opposite conclusion.

Missionaries are supposed to exemplify everything about a religion, so they can spread it. The two things are so intertwined, they can easily be conflated.

The end goal is ban all organized religion. Religion is a personal choice, and should never be used to determine what others not practicing it are allowed to do. Talking about religion is fine, practicing yourself is fine, creating institutions based off of it is not.

Obviously telling others what they can and can’t do or sowing violence while using your religion as justification is bad.

Yet that’s every single religion. So yes, toss the baby with the bathwater.

But even the bible says that spirituality should be practiced in private.

It also says the exact opposite.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20)

I’m sorry you feel that way. You’re just wrong, though. Religion is cancer, and should be treated as such. Private spirituality is fine, but once you start saying what others are allowed to do based off of your religious upbringing, it’s literally just fascism with an imaginary friend as the leader.

Reductive? Maybe. Accurate? Certainly.

The point is- this person’s brain was primed with indoctrination already. He just swapped gods. Religion is a sickness, and he is a great example of how bad that sickness can get.

If he were to get elected in 2028, the 2032 election is guaranteed a Nazi win with a leader that isn’t wholly incompetent the next time. No one should primary that shit stain.

Still not caring, huh?

“Liberals are just fascists with better PR.”

You’re delusional. You literally are saying yourself they are exactly the same. Go to lemmy.ml- they love dumbass tankie takes.

Hard to “fall” for something that isn’t there. You’re just making the statement that Liberals=Fascists, when you’re factually wrong. Please go to any Poli-sci course, and you will learn. Alternatively, you could just not comment when you’re uninformed. Sorry to hear about your TBE.

You’re not very smart, are you?

Do you feel innocent?

Yes. Because our 2 options were a fascist, and a Liberal. Liberals may suck, but they can be worked with, and reasoned with. Fascists don’t have that perk.

“you have a wildly inflated ego, buddy”

Yeah, that all tracks with our current admin. Mildly surprised that I couldn’t catch that from reading the House Report. Damn villainous method to make slave labor legal again. Especially for a job where you risk your life consistently, like wildfire fighters.

That would make sense. I was looking for any mention of Penal employees or prison labor of some kind, but was unable to find it. I guess I was naive for thinking they just meant free employees.

I have read the entire House Report- where are you seeing that this bill creates the ability to use slave labor on fires?

I have read the bill from beginning to end- it’s literally just a bill to increase employment of the US Forest Service fire fighting team. It has a section that also makes it so the Secretary of Ag has the power to expedite the hiring process. The part that is concerning adds a stipulation about how they are able to exercise that power.

E.g.: “DHA expedites hiring by removing competitive rating and ranking, preferences for certain candidates, and requirements to consider the top three candidates.”

I am not saying this is good legislation, I am just confused by the language, and have no idea what all this will impact.

ETA: Nvm, this legislation is fucked. It allows hiring prisoners for no pay.

What beliefs would exclude you from both sides?? I feel like you’re making this up just to seem “different” tbh
