To me this is the same philosophy adopted by Israel when they kill Hamas leaders. This isn’t chess, folks. Killing the king does not end the game.

Name one time since Hitler that the death of a world leader has resulted in the end of an armed international conflict.

Completely agree, but I’ve been seeing so many similar sentiments on Lemmy since the election. Today I saw someone comment, almost word for word, that there was no problem with Kamala’s campaign - the issue was simply that Americans are too stupid. Someone else on a totally different post commented that this election proves the Dems could run Jesus Christ himself and half the country would still reject him. And those are just two examples. This is one of more unhinged meltdowns I’ve ever seen.

Oh c’mon, Kamala was pretty far from Jesus, and Trump and co. are no political masterminds. This was the dems race to lose and they brilliantly pulled it off by exhibiting what can only be described as an active disdain for anything that even smelled like progressive politics. Turns out you can’t win on “the other guy is worse.” They fucked up and lost fair and square.

They’re already getting ready with the same excuses they used for Hillary. If Kamala loses, it definitely can’t be a result of the fact that Dems seem to actively despise the left.

I just told a group of friends tonight, “Mark my words, Kamala will be the next Ronald Reagan.” I think that only cleared about half the room hah

This interests me and I honestly don’t even know how to search for more info on this topic. Do you know where I can read more about the situation you’re describing?

I’ve really gotta congratulate you. This gif is high art.

This rhetoric is sure to convince all those Muslims in Michigan whose family members are being blown up by US bombs. Keep up the good work, neolib crusader!

Say what you will about the Republicans, at least they get results on their absurd culture war bullshit. Best the Dems can do for the left is ignore us completely and give us Tim Walz as a VP like we should be soooo fucking grateful

How many people have you shot?

Saying, “we need to” is about as noncommittal as not saying anything at all. That’s like my girlfriend pointing out that the kitchen is a mess and me saying “yeah we really need to do the dishes”.

Yes, bowling! And not to be that guy, but you should watch that movie. Like tonight.

Nor are they “boys”. They’re like mid-late thirties men.

No, alternating current doesn’t have a polarity like DC does.

You… don’t know what a floppy disk is, do you?

Completely agree. It was really frustrating to hear Bernie evoke FDR in his speech without being honest about how he accomplished so much: by packing the courts and being extremely aggressive in pushing through a real progressive agenda. It really highlights the failings of the party more than anything.

No! That’s all I use Reddit for nowadays…

You should read up on McKinsey, the company that employed him as a consultant. They make Monsanto look like the Peace Corps.

Thank you.
