KeavesSharpi@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•A Sitting Senator Just Went Full Mask-Off White Nationalist3·1 day agoThank god that at the end of the day, people like you do not control anything, not even your false anger.
Just proof that you’re a secret magat. Trust me, my anger at the dismantling of my country is very real.
KeavesSharpi@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•A Sitting Senator Just Went Full Mask-Off White Nationalist3·1 day agoLMAO you obviously haven’t been paying ANY attention in the last 10 years. If you don’t get why people absolutely hate Trump, you’re probably actually a Magat. Because the whole fucking world hates Trump.
KeavesSharpi@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•A Sitting Senator Just Went Full Mask-Off White Nationalist81·1 day agoThose comments are in criminal violation of his oath of office. He should be impeached, convicted, and removed. Of course there will be nothing but crickets.

KeavesSharpi@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•Johnson says Trump took Epstein rumors seriously, served as FBI informant9·1 day agoYou just can’t make this shut up. Nobody, I mean nobody would believe it if you wrote it.
I’m pretty sure in 2024 the Dems platformed someone who didn’t want a genocide in this country. Mamdani seems like a pretty good dude, and he’s in the general because he won the primary over said piece of shit. So the system can work. Or we can all be pessimists and let the fascists continue to run roughshod because the Democrats aren’t woke enough or whatever.
Yet you want me to keep voting for the people that aren’t doing much.
No, I want you to vote against the people who literally hate you and want to take everything from you to make you a slave. And in the general elections, that means voting Democrats. If you don’t like who’s being presented then actively work for the people who you do like, and help them win the primaries. People like me didn’t make the system we have, but we’re stuck with it. And now we have Trump actively working to destroy free and fair elections, ICE deporting hard working legal immigrants, JFK Jr. destroying our health department, the wife of the owner of WWE dismantling the department of education, etc. etc. etc. because god forbid we elect a woman who isn’t a communist. And here I thought the Inflation Reduction Act and student loan forgiveness were actually good things.
True. Radio is word of mouth, and the other forms of media are even slower. When one can sit down and doomscroll tik tok for an hour and be exposed to orders of magnitude more information, things are going to change more quickly.
KeavesSharpi@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•If Trump loses his tariff lawsuit, America may have to refund businesses more than $200 billion1·2 days agoIf there was a tariff fee in the invoice, there would be standing.
IDK, we’re pretty stupid on average.
He’s definitely both.
KeavesSharpi@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•If Trump loses his tariff lawsuit, America may have to refund businesses more than $200 billion3·2 days agoI doubt the importers will be refunded. Obviously if they were, 90%+ will not refund their customers because why would they? I can imagine class action lawsuits down the road, but honestly I predict the supreme court will overturn any lower court rulings and let him tariff away, saying it’s the congress’s job to reign him in since “it’s their prerogative” or some such, in a 6-3 ruling. If they wanted to stop the tariffs, the majority will argue, they could simply cancel them.
You’re assuming they knew what they had been ordered to do had anything to do with this. I highly doubt they did. Odds are they didn’t even know the survivors were speaking at the time.
KeavesSharpi@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•DOJ plans to label trans Americans as "mentally defective" to take away their guns17·2 days agoAnd now we get to the fascists beginning to disarm their enemies phase. After that it won’t be long before they label registered Democrats as mentally defective.
40 years ago and before, slang had to travel by… get this… word of mouth. Now one obnoxious tik tok influencer (and the word is valid because they do actually influence others) to say something for a 12 year old to make it the new thing in her school, thereby infecting an entire town/village/planet. it’s skibidi if you ask me. And I’m 55.
I’m not trying to force anyone to even think a particular way, let alone DO something. But when the choice is the person who literally wants you dead vs someone who’s willing to maybe marginalize you in the current political environment, I would mildly urge you to maybe kindly vote against the guy with a gun to your head who will pull the trigger when he wins. Just sayin’. Maybe focus on the marginalization issue next season before it gets to the gun to the head again. “FUCK YOU KILL ME” isn’t really the best choice in my humble opinion.
On voting day, you have a choice. Vote for the evil empire or vote for the opposition. I’m not sure what you think voting for Uncle Earl waving a happy face flag off to the side is going to accomplish. Moral victories are only victories if the morals actually have victories. We all knew what the choices were in 2024. Any anyone who didn’t vote for Harris in the general election voted for what we got. End of story.
You know how you get a government that reflects your morals? You start by electing a government that actually gives a shit about you in the first place, not by writing in someone who will never be your government.
When it comes to US national politics at the end of the day you have to choose. When it comes to the president, you have 3choices. The Republican, the Democrat, or tossing your vote. It doesn’t matter if you write in Mickey Mouse, vote for that Green Party lady, Lindon LeRouche or whomever, you and I both know that you’re throwing away your vote, and chances are handing it to the Republican nominee. Your “morals” mean nothing. You shit on the rest of us to make some point that literally nobody will be impacted by, because you gave the Devil your vote. In conclusion, fuck you.
Please educate me how not voting, thereby allowing the fascists to take control (we’re already there so it’s not theoretical) helps improve things. You didn’t vote for the Bad Centrist Democrats so instead now we have the one party fascist rule that those tewwibwe centwists cwied about.You’ re so righteous and we all feel inferior to your non-voting prowess.
As I said.
Mamdani won the primary. He’s polling ridiculously high in the general. Putting people like him, Crockett, Cortez, and others like them into office is how we push back and get the policies we want. MEANWHILE we need to elect whatever other blue options we’re provided in the general including the DINOs, not protest non-vote and hand power to the Repubnicons. 3rd party candidates are spoilers. Maybe in some future they won’t be, but right now they are. I don’t understand why this is contentious. If the enemy rules, we get NOTHING. Do you not see how the country is being dismantled as we speak? There will be no righteous revolution in this country. Democracy either survives or it dies, and if it dies, it’s 1984 x Handmaid’s Tale forever.
