Sorry, don’t give this any attention. It’s a scam and everyone knows it.

Hey! Fuck off and just let people live their lives. Is that really that hard?

No, fire hose of misinformation is worse. $100m buys a few races, maybe. Fire hose breaks down an entire societies’ trust in reality.

If the option is 5 people dying every day or 10 people dying every day, yes harm reduction says we should limit the amount of people dying every day. That way we have more time to save the people.

I’m not a fucking lib, I’m a leftist, and I’m telling you that Trump is worse than the status quo. He only really started to fuck shit up towards the end of his presidency and that was because he only just realized he could change the rules and get rid of the bureaucracy that actually keeps our government limping along. Next time he, or anyone with an R next to their name, takes office they’re going to destroy anything of value left in our government so they can hoard the ashes. This will continue to be the reality of the situation until being a fascist is no longer politically viable.

Yes, it’s a hostage situation. Yes, it’s royally fucked, but the last 4 years has seen an incredible shift in both public support of good policy and politicians promoting good policy. There is a light, there is good coming of all this shit, it just requires your support for the good that’s happening, and your disdain to be pointed at the bad. Don’t point your disdain at the “not good enough” and shrug at the unbelievable bad. That’s how things get worse.

Yeah, money is politics is bad. Also, foreign governments interfering in our elections is bad. You discovered the principle of more than one thing can be bad at once.

Yes, his goal is to break down every negotiation until Gaza is gone his political situation improves. He can’t end the war until he’s secured his political future. Cause what else is a populist fascist to do?

Cool, so now you see that voting for Harris is a nod to either the same hand-wringing action that we’re seeing now. In fact, the hand-wringing is doing a little bit better than nothing right now (not by much, admittedly). Trump’s guy just said he wants the genocide to go faster. Now, I want you to apply the principles of harm reduction to this scenario. Which option is harm reduction?

A local ordinance that increases rights is not the same as local ordinances that attempts to do the opposite. That’s why this is different, lord have mercy

Yes, and they have an ICJ trial for that. Not every news event is Israel related.

Disney+ case, that’s misinformation. Not saying it was a smart move on Disney’s part, terrible PR and it was only to save some money, but the argument wasn’t that. Disney was being roped in due to info on their website, they don’t run the restaurant, and the website would fall under the jurisdiction of the Disney+ TOS. Again, it was a bad decision on their part and I also don’t think that Binding Arbitration agreements should exist in TOS in the first place, but the meme about the headline isn’t true.

Hi, I have autism and can tell you that it isn’t a “get out of social repercussions for free” card. The comment was still rude and still deserved a call-out, even if the commenter had autism.

Maybe don’t use a hypothetical person with a disability to defend your take on a situation.

And again, the word assault here doesn’t apply. They were rude, they got that energy back. It’s not hard to understand.

They asked a deeply personal, rude, and misogynistic question in a public space and you want to know if it was in bad faith? I think the clap back was very warranted.

Also, that’s not verbal assault, it’s just an insult. If she threatened harm or made them feel unsafe, then it would be.

They needed him to run to stop a Bernie nomination. So… he kind of was “made to”, in that he also agreed that Bernie shouldn’t get the nomination.

Public option for Medicare. Alright, let’s go.

It measures place, rather than performance (like medals got). It’s a line graph, when there’s no events between the data points, so it should be a bar graph. And yeah, up is better.

Yeah, they couldn’t prove that Vance never fucked a couch, just that he didn’t say he did in a book. But no one was quoting the book anyways, not after the meme started.

The dude was a teacher and member of the national guard. His net worth before he became governor was $13,000. If that’s rich, then we’ve solved poverty, I guess.

Thinking like that doesn’t make the most precipitous stock market since the roaring 20s. Gotta go bigger till the whole thing collapses!

When you’re goose-stepping around town, do you have to keep a mouth guard just in your mouth the whole time, or do you discretely pocket it until the day inevitably turns on you? I’ve always wanted to know and never got to talk to an actual out-and-out fascist before. Ya know, you suspect some people, but you’re just brave enough to come out and say it.

But seriously, leave lemmy and don’t come back. Thanks!

Our founding fathers really didn’t anticipate someone being purposefully dense when interpreting the law. Shame.
