“You could have had the friendly genocide, but noooo”

Anyone can see through your long winded grandstanding. The shrill desperation oozes from your words.

Returns? My wife does the same as your coworker, but anything she doesn’t like they refund her and tell her to keep. We call it Freemu.

The free market will provide guillotines if the people truly want them. /s

Just stop trying to paint the dems as “unwilling to take a strong stance against it” when they were absolutely “actively encouraging it”. What is with this liberal disease of totally ignoring actions while obsessing over words?

You think I’ve opted out of a decision, but I think you’ve opted in to accepting genocide. How can you accept such a thing? The absolute minimum you should demand of your party is that they oppose genocide. Otherwise, what is the fucking point?

Lol

Any problems I’ve had with these apps has usually been solved by reconnecting my VPN.

You have to keep the focus on China otherwise you have to face the indefensible American support of genocide. You ask me to seek influence over my own government who already rattles the saber at China, yet I can’t even influence their very direct funding of Israel’s genocide! Tell me how you imagine that would be done? Tell me how I might apply pressure on China in 1/1000 the amount I might apply on my own government.

NewPipe or PipePipe.

Leave aside for a moment the argument we might have about what is happening in China… What the fuck would I be able to do about that? Do I vote in China? Do my tax dollars fund their military?

Go back to the start and read it all again.

You think someone existing is more bothersome than them knocking on your door?

Certainly more bothersome than simply existing, or being in a movie tho!

Extreme leftism is when you have a bedrock principle or two that you refuse to compromise on. Centrism is when everything, even genocide, is negotiable.

The road to hell is paved with “lesser evils”.

Because they liked Twitter, and Bluesky is (presumably) like Twitter before Elmo bought it.

As the other comment says, it hardly matters. Fwiw I think they are well-intentioned but if their strategy is working for anyone, it’s working for the corporatist dem party.

They cannot and they will not. Please do not fall for them yanking the football away from you again. AOC and Bernie exist to give you hope and thereby capture your vote for a party that has no intention of ever fighting for the working class in a meaningful way. We need a real alternative but we’ve given away so much of our collective power (unions) that it’s hard to see a hopeful path forward. Organize with your neighbors and start building trusted communities that will fight together when needed.

I take ads as a personal attack on my psyche. I turn my toothpaste around so I’m not looking at the logo. I pirate any shows I want to watch, and I use uBlock Origin in my browser.

First, they came for the Palestinians,and I did not speak out since my party supported that.

Then they came for trans people, and I did not speak out because my party “needs to appeal to moderates”…

We’re living in it.
