Doing my part

Now shut up and get in the van

Just call the cops.

Cause that's the plan after banning guns right blue conservatives? Just call the cops. You know, the people who perpetrated the violence against the BLM protestors and more.

You can

• Join the BDS movement
• Donate to groups like A Jewish Voice for Peace
• Protest in your home country, if your home country is supporting Israel
• Lobby your politicians

Those who would sacrifice a little liberty, for a little safety, deserve neither.

We get to pick between a pro landlord, pro oligarchs dem or a milquetoast horrific status quo dem.

Will fighting for one of them to win help anything?

[bemorecareful@lemmy.world]

Idk, that seems like a pretty shit take to me. It's not the voting choice I made, but I can see where people are coming from. It's not just the US selling arms to hostile occupiers, it's running around with the Cheney's and the general abandonment of the working and middle class.

Very good literature lesson you have there. Let's live in the real world. What are you doing to roll back privacy erosion? Kids don't even understand privacy. I have a nephew that uses his full legal name for everything he does online and will not stop, despite me talking to him about how stupid that is several times.

Privacy is over apart from the tools I'm sure you know about and use. Let's focus on the big shit.

If you are looking for inspiration, we (@[email protected] just finished a 1.5 hour session with lawyers from NLG, historians, and activists to help service members understand their rights and responsibilities when it comes to illegal orders potentially being issued by this administration.

We just uploaded it to youtube and its available here:

Sacrifice? It was fucking stolen, shot in the head, and thrown in the sea before anyone knew it was even happening.

What's the point of political organizing if the goal isn't to get your people into elected positions?

Hey now, give me credit:

I also texted them to conservative family members from burner numbers!

Too close to home

[braininabox@lemmy.ml]

It's comments like these that make non-americans like me pray for the fall of the American Empire. Seriously, you people don't even see the people you murder overseas as human.

If you've never received thousands of downvotes for stating a boring position, are you even alive?

[dumbass@leminal.space]

They should've just memed like the rest of us.

Obama is by far the best president we've had in the past few decades, but overall he still sucks pretty badly. He was the first presidential candidate who got more than a billion dollars in donations for the race, at a time where Democrats were guaranteed to win no matter who they picked because of Bush.

Democrats should run a candidate more like FDR (who won FOUR terms as president) or Harry Truman. A social democrat or socialist, an actual leftist or leftist-adjacent candidate. I would say someone like Bernie Sanders, but that ship has already sailed long ago... Socialist policies are popular with average Americans when nobody tells them they're socialist.

[spankmonkey@lemmy.world]

I was replying to a comment about the Dems needing to energize the base. Obama energized the base, and they learned nothing from it.

Then I did nothing about it between presidential elections. Nothing. Did not lift a single goddamned finger. Four years later, I demand the party cater to me, Me, ME. An utterly useless deadweight. And smug about it.

[kusimulkku@lemm.ee]

I'm still not sure what was the reason not to vote the lesser of two weevils here. Some hope that if you show Democrats by not voting them they'll do the things those people have been calling for? I'd fear they'll just think of those people as unreliable voters and will just try to get the votes from those who do vote.

Pretty risky move in any case, with Trump being the other alternative.

[queermunist@lemmy.ml]

That's not good enough! We will never win with a platform of "keep things from getting worse"

We have to promise to make things better and then work for it and then make it happen.
