Reagan (who was definitely worse for workers and civil rights than Biden or Harris) was measurably better than trump, the coming term even more so, but I guess if you are a communist everyone far enough from you is equally fascist. It's funny, because to a fascist, everyone to their left is equally communist. It's political near-sightedness.

If you would not vote for Reagan to avoid a trump... enjoy the shitshow.

Was it the smartphone that broke it?

Again? Nono, now you have something even better: RFK Jr.

That is not who I was talking about. Drawing working class people leaning trump or undecided back to her was something she sort of tried to do and failed because of vague economic plans and because they don't recognize trump's fascism under his clownery. These are not the progressives I mentioned, who should know better, even if they were not decisive to her loss in the end.

...

But now they're gonna get change for sure.

~~That's fascinating, who makes fancy corn?~~

Nah, looks like the US also produces popping corn.

Because she expected actual progressive voters to already be well educated on what trump 2.0 means for the country...now they eat trump soup, like everyone else.

Damn, what is the non-fossil-fuel-sponsored version of COP now, since this is just a farce to cover a fossil fuel enthusiast conference? Does the IPCC organize anything credible?

50000 would not be near enough to push to Sumy, let alone Kiev. But they want to make sure they retake Kursk before the conflict is frozen.

My opinion is he knows the other powerful dudes who did it, so they can't go too hard on him.

you really didn't get the point, did you? Anti-bibi, anti-genocide, anti-whatever-israel-is-doing. Nitpicking about words and trying to own the moral high ground instead of focusing on the only path that gave you a little leverage. But again, it is not your fault, it was mostly a successful two-pronged campaign by disinformation centrals coming from the left and the right.

Harris was campaigning and bibi knew he had leverage, because the worse it got, the more ~~anti-israel~~ pro-palestine vote she'd lose. Lose-lose-lose situation for Harris, Palestine, anti-israel voters. That the left was not more strategic about this (e.g. Bernie's stance, which was strategic), I blame on great russian disinfo and agitators, not just shit intrinsic takes from the left.

 

“Donald Trump may be crazy, but he’s not stupid. When he claims that ‘nobody’ showed up at a 10,000 person Harris-Walz rally in Michigan that was live-streamed and widely covered by the media, that it was all AI, and that Democrats cheat all of the time, there is a method to his madness,” Sanders said in a statement.

“Clearly, and dangerously, what Trump is doing is laying the groundwork for rejecting the election results if he loses,” he added. “If you can convince your supporters that thousands of people who attended a televised rally do not exist, it will not be hard to convince them that the election returns in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and elsewhere are ‘fake’ and ‘fraudulent.’”

[...]

“This is what destroying faith in institutions is about. This is what undermining democracy is about. This is what fascism is about,” he said of Trump’s campaign falsehoods. “This is why we must do everything we can to see that Trump is defeated.”

 

Each city has a different mix of subcultures. Some cities are impersonal with posers and businesslike like Linkedin, some may be more of a disjoint cacophony like reddit or an aged police state dystopia like facebook...which ones have the vibe of Lemmy?

 

There is also this shitterlink video related to this (sourced the news from worldnews), but I don't speak Arabic and can't say if this is a deepfake or not https://x.com/AlArabiya/status/1821912782033309739

 

Just before rallying supporters in Atlanta on Saturday, Trump unleashed a tirade on the state’s popular Republican governor, Brian Kemp, whose vaunted ground game operation Trump may need in November, ripping into him on Truth Social for “fighting Unity and the Republican Party.”

And when Trump took the stage, he went at him even harder.

“He’s a bad guy, he’s a disloyal guy and he’s a very average governor,” Trump told supporters, eliciting boos toward Kemp from the crowd.

The attack — on social media and in person at the Georgia State University Convocation Center — marked an escalation of Trump’s longstanding criticism of Kemp. And it instantly unsettled Georgia Republicans, who warned Trump’s comments threaten his already shaky prospects in the state.

“I’m sitting here scratching my head,” Bobby Saparow, a Republican operative and Brian Kemp’s former campaign manager, told POLITICO. “Attacking the popular governor of a pivotal swing state makes zero sense. If we want to actually unite, ask for the support of the guy who beat your endorsed primary opponent by 52 points and handily defeated Stacey Abrams.”
