Is there precedent for something like this? I’m clearly just a regular dummy but I can’t think of anything similar ever happening in this country. To me, it just seems like a bureaucratic way of strong arming a sale.

I assume the US government wants to force a sale to a US tech company, no? Who would presumably profit from said successful app. Why not just outright ban it here? By kill I just mean make unusable. But you knew that, silly.

Iran might not be invading Israel anytime soon but they sure arent “trending towards peace” like you claim. You’re wrong about this one, and your anger betrays you here. It might shock you to learn that even at your age, you can still learn something, too. At least I know I’m uninformed and look for the truth instead of just spouting off bullshit with nothing to back it up.

Iran literally just sent drones into Israel. You haven’t been paying attention.

If you don’t think Israel “that interesting or important” to the US government, you haven’t been paying attention. full stop. This isn’t about Palestine, its always been about Israel. They send way too much money to us politicians, including the one in the white house, for it to not matter “in the grand scheme”. AIPAC money alone should be enough to convince you.

Why not just kill the app then instead of asking for divestment? Why do they still need it?

The Tik Tok ban is about keeping big tech in the hands of the USA. Are my account stats better for you?

No this post actually is Hamas. Please tell Israel quickly

Capitalism works! It breeds innovation like this! good luck getting non consensual ai porn in your socialist government

Kinda just feels like the subscription model honestly

These MFS think acorns are gunshots. We cannot trust them to tell the truth about what the felt in the moment. It’s a problem whether or not you can sympathize with the officer.

I got this yesterday, as well. There’s no way this could hold up legally, right? Like my 7 year old could easily just click through that, no way this is a legally binding contract to forfeit jury rights and right to sue.

…right?

Oh gimme a break. Those must be the same polls that showed Hillary by a landslide in 2016.

I’ll be at the polls to vote local/state. I’ll probably even vote third party because at a core level I believe in the act of voting, just not for these two jabronis.

Stop letting them tell you this is the best we can do. We CAN do better, but people in power have incentive to keep it this way for a reason.

What plan? Keep showing up and voting for the same guys? I know it’s crazy but we actually have a third option, we’ve just been told over and over again that it’s equal to throwing our votes away (I wonder who would benefit from that?) and if we all believe that, then of course it is.

Bernie wins in 2016 if the DNC had the balls the back him, but they don’t because they have no incentive to run a guy like that. He’s antithetical to their platform.

They aren’t the lesser of two evils, they’re one in the same with a different letter next to their name.

“why not vote for the less fascist candidate”

That’s wild lmao

I don’t think Joe Biden is bad. I think he’s a symptom of a larger problem. I think on his own, he’s probably not a bad guy, I’m sure I’d probably even like him if I had to talk with the guy.

I think the entire Democratic party is beholden to the Almighty dollar. I think they bow down to corporate interests at every turn. You want me to hate Joe Biden so badly but it’s just so much deeper than that.

We act like these politicians are not friendly with each other regardless of D or R. Like they aren’t getting together in DC bars just like we do after work and joking around about the bills they blocked today or the votes they were able to get. They don’t care. They’re all on the same side they just have to appease different groups of people at home.

We have a long way to go, man.

Find a different team to support. These ones suck.

I think Joe Biden is the stooge of a political party hell bent on delivering the status quo neoliberal policies home and abroad.

I am sick of voting for these people. They’re ghouls.
