And that’s what they mean by maybe it should have been on the ballot. If the Dems lose (to Trump of all people) they’ll really only have themselves to blame. They could’ve done things people liked but decided not to.

Hopefully Trump loses but the Dems are really trying to make it a close one.

It’s always a confession from basically anyone in upper level gov. In a funny way I wish it was actually true that it was always a confession though. Imagine if the Republicans were the communist socialist lefties they accuse the Dems of being constantly. That’d be fun.

But yes I’m down to improve my understanding of facts if they are lacking. Hardly need another reason to hate the military. May as well be accurate about it.

If we lived in a just country she would.

A great point. Republicans will never vote to remove the EC unless it hurts them and theoretically this could.

Screw Republicans by voting literally whoever besides trump and Harris in Cali

only if you’re in a swing state. In which case vote tactically. If you’re not in a swing state do not vote trump and do not vote Harris. Instead vote third party there to maybe get a 5% national representation and therefore get more funding for em.

Voting tactics woo.

The local Democratic party literally opposes the ranked choice voting bill on my local ballot. So do the Republicans surprise surprise. They agreed on something! Bipartisanship!

You’re right I’ve gone and checked. It wasn’t a new thing just clarifying that to use lethal force would require the secretary of defenses approval.

Little clarifying language changes are common it’s true.

I’ll admit when I first started using the name I tried to write my comments sing songy but by the time I made it to Lemmy I was too lazy

Vote for the partiesand candidates that support ranked choice

Did the meme mention trump being spotless? Because I don’t think it did. He’s scum. Doesn’t make Harris spotless just less spotty

Biden made it legal for military personnel to use lethal force on American civilians… Maybe Harris doesn’t care. But Biden and Trump seem to both like the idea of killing citizens with the military.

True but the meme claims “spotless record” which is not true

It doesn’t really matter what you imagine. It’s worked before and I bet it’ll work again. And even if it doesn’t and Israel is entirely independent from the US and totally needs nothing from us… Why is that a reason to supply them. Great they don’t need our shit let’s stop giving it to em.

Hold less sway with an ally… What good is that sway of we can’t stop a genocide with it? Or really slow it down even a pinch? I’d rather people doing genocide don’t like us actually… They’re evil.

I’m pretty confused. Can you read? Antioutsideaktion is saying the Dems are currently in power… I’m sure he knows Biden is president right now. That’s why the question asked was how can you cast the Democrats as having no power? Because they have power now.

Obviously I love books and complaining about not enough books. But actually who cares. This is badass. Every bullet point cooler than the last. A kitchen? A workshop?? A shower and wash room?!

Actually excellent. Congrats to your wife’s hard work!

And we ALL know even when the Democrats start another genocide you’ll find a reason to vote for them.

These are all true. He’s truly awful. Greedy and not much else drives him

I am absolutely convinced genocide is bad you got me there. I actually can vote and did (mail your ballot folks) but you got me on the teen stuff. 19. Maybe I’ll learn something in a few months when I’m 20.

Not my fault that you’re explanations explain nothing. But we can agree that’s it’s largely pointless to argue.

It’s not bad faith to not enjoy genocide. I would never argue that in bad faith because I actually believe genocide is bad.

I guess voting in an election is technically interfering in it but odd way to put that.

They do nothing to earn their support of votes. Nothing.

I’ve been seeing it lots lately that party’s don’t have to earn votes but I guess it’s just Dems who are owed them?

Nothing but empty promises and demands that will be laughed out of offices.

Oh ya dude the Dems and Republicans loveee fulfilling campaign promises! That’s why we have healthcare, loan forgiveness, legal weed, the abolition of the death penalty…

But it sure looks good to people ignorant enough to not bother to understand how politics work in the real world.

Ah that’s what I was forgetting. In the real world only bad things can happen. It is foolish to believe anything good could occur. Ignorant me.

Change doesn’t happen just because you want it badly enough.

Than why vote for Kamala or Trump? We’re told Harris wants to end the genocide despite all evidence and that we must vote for her… And yet it seems to be simply based on the power of belief that she will do good things. Kamala isn’t going to stop the slaughter just because you want her to. Ditto for trump. His followers beliefs are all that keep him afloat despite him doing Jack shit.
