Funny that this is just more divisive rhetoric enabling right-wing talking points . It’s almost like it’s not a matter of minorities, but of socioeconomic class and education disparities leading to people across the board voting against their own interests because they don’t know how to parse truth from bullshit.

The sooner black WORKERS, latino WORKERS, white WORKERS all rally under the same banner that points the finger at the rich who controls the vast majority of resources in not just this country but globally, we’ll just keep fighting over increasingly fewer breadcrumbs.

They know it; they just don’t care. Blissful ignorance? “Ends Justify Means” accelerationists? Spiteful sociopathic nihilists? Who knows…

You “twits” voted for a greater genocide in not just one place, but 2 places with possibly more to come.

You just don’t know it yet.

I appreciate the insight. So if I’m understanding you correctly, the AfD while they’re picking up fringe support, hasn’t really been able to broaden its coalition and lacks the capacity to hijack the government, even from a position of plurality.

I’m curious how the overall public perception of immigration will be for Germans going forward, considering the assimilation of the Syrian refugees Merkel took in, Germany’s aging workforce, as well as the existing need to fill jobs like medicine. Are there polling data trends available on this?

I’m glad we’re moving on, but the damage is done.

The xitter takeover to me seemed entirely planned to help suppress media for this election and it worked. It helped muddy the waters even more.

Sounds like a solid plan — best of luck to your family.

The plan we’re building sees us moving out of AZ and to a blue state near the Canadian border. From there I brush the dust off my degree while my wife ensures she has what she needs to continue working as a nurse in Canada. UK is in consideration, too. Germany after that given their pathways to welcoming immigrants — especially in medical or in university. Alas, those latter options are so much harder to pull off, especially when we’re also trying to be near uncles and grandparents for the kid’s sake especially. Here’s to hoping for asylum if it really does get that bad.

Pictures like this help keep me on track to make sure my family has a way off this sinking ship should we need it.

Passports for the kiddos this month.

They voted for a worse genocide.

In 2 different places no less and possibly more.

They just don’t know it yet.

I don’t even care so much about the Bicameral Compromise; but I do care that the electoral votes apply toward electing the President.

Only thing I can think of is air and noise pollution impacting quality of sleep and benefits from walking. No idea about the water though lol.

That’s cruel & unusual punishment, that is.

lol is this even a question? Yes, I’ll take the genitals kick over the possibility of traumatic brain damage.

But that’s entertaining this is a valid analogy, which it isn’t. Here, let’s try this on for size, shall we?

• You’re in a concentration camp and the President who oversees the Warden is up for reelection.
• You watch from outside as the Warden who is brutally terrorizing those people.
• There is a binary choice between 2 people for President.
• The one has openly instructed the Warden to (1) “finish the job” and undermined every humanitarian aid and even (2) obstructing a “ceasefire” to the guards at every turn, all the while (3) completely and utterly ignoring protesters, if not beating them up.
• The other has at least expressed support for (a) Statehood and self-determination of the population, and (b) that the killing must stop, and (c) is clearly more amicable to persuasion and outside pressure.
• You in all your infinite wisdom, choose to vote for the former in this unfounded perception that there is no difference. As if there isn’t a spectrum of genocidal damage and conditions can’t get even worse (and they always, always can).

lol. So while you sit from the comfort of your own armchair, patting yourself on the back for your little Pyrrhic victory, you’ve only exacerbated conditions for years to come both in Gaza and Ukraine alike. You cannot be taken seriously.

Perhaps you you should sit out geopolitics a tad bit longer until you’re actually out of grade school and learn a few more lessons in critical-thinking?

Edit: “Israeli Right, Pushing to Annex West bank, Sees Allies in Trump’s Picks” — Gee, thanks Uncommitted! lol.

Hmm…

Germany was one of a couple nations we’ve been considering immigrating to. My wife is an experienced RN, too.

My main concern is whether Germany will be able to brunt the far-right movement there or if it’s as inevitable as it was here in the US.

I too am holding Tlaib accountable hereon for the genocide in both Gaza and Ukraine for her blatantly ignorant action to not choose Harris over Trump, who will be orders of magnitude worse for both.

Haha it took you this long to come up with this shit take?

Better give yourself a month next time.

I kind of just want to send him letters in prison, pages long of just, “hahahahah.”

Gabbard is the biggest threat here, in my view.

You couldn’t dream of putting a spy in a better position than the DNI whose position is literally to oversee all intelligence agency silos.

Russia will know literally everything.

I’m told given its architecture, bluesky still forces all private servers to operate through their servers as a choke point, kind of defeating the purpose of true decentralization. Like hosting your own local server but still needing to go through the ISP gateway.

Still, I agree. And supposedly Bluesky claims they’ll decouple this eventually.

One of the rare instances of the Shock Doctrine leading to a positive outcome.

Any way you can bring some of those critical-thinking skills over here to the US, by chance?

In all sincerity, great comment.
