I feel like a little blue Gen X dragonfly born on a lake that is populated by red critters who consume right-wing propaganda all the live-long day and stubbornly recite talking points that are at odds with their own reality and values.

Dems were in denial about our ally. Some are now coming out of denial and realizing the genocidal horror in progress. We need to push them. Perhaps Dems would be pulling support by now. We will never know because Republican fascists who back Bibi no matter what took control of our government.

Let's compare two state-wide elections. One with hand count vote tabulation (MN) and the other with digital vote tabulation (NC).
PottedCactus (@lj307.bsky.social)
Audits are needed in North Carolina. Statistical analysis shows a hand count is likely to show widespread vote manipulation in 2024. We need fair, secure elections going forward. If widespread fraud happened we need to get it figured out ASAP.

The situation would be noticeably different now if she had been elected. I am watching European leaders speak out. What if the American President stood beside them? That will never happen with Republicans. They stand with Bibi and Putin. Oct 7 is Putin’s birthday. Coincidence?

I don’t know what quote you are trying to cherry pick. She expressed concern for the Palestineans and offered a seat at the table to the pro-Palestinian protesters. I believe she was further along in accepting the situation than Biden was. She had to support her boss. She cared. She listened.

U.S. politicians' responses to mass shootings are "always performative," says @cameronkasky.bsky.social. "This administration... is so defined by tragedy, cruelty, and violence that something like children being shot dead while they are praying is not going to be a topic next week."

Like I said, the Dems were slow to accept what has recently become undeniable, very similar to the reaction of European leaders. We have no time machine to take back support given to our ally after the Oct 7 terrorist attack. Your last sentence makes no sense at all. Get real.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

If Harris had been elected, you would have seen the change in realization of what is happening affect the policy. Like I said, the Dems have been too slow to accept what is happening. What you see now is Republican policy, while fully understanding what has developed. Clearly now, genocide.

Bruh. Israel has been a US ally since the founding. Hamas is a terrorist organization. Dems have been horribly slow to understand that Bibi is a legit baby killing genocidal maniac. Knowing this, Republicans continue to support Bibi enthusiastically. There is a difference. A big difference.

The National Museum of African-American History doesn't avoid slavery, but it doesn't dwell on it either. The museum celebrates the successes and contributions of Black Americans in the armed forces, in society, science, the arts and sports. I found my visit to the museum a positive experience.

I am from the generation that wildly popularized rap music and “reclaimed” the n-word. The rule that black people can use the word, but no one else can is still in effect at my child’s middle school. I hope Gen Alpha casts the word into the trash finally. It is a sad relic.

IBEW endorsed Harris. The monthly newsletter during Biden’s term gave detailed comparisons showing Biden was with us and 💩was against us. For four years IBEW explained the differences in detail. Some members threw the newsletters away without reading, calling it “propaganda.” Brainwashed and stupid.
