I was already pretty done with the news media but seeing clips yesterday from the Sunday shows where an anchor is like “but what if living in a Police State does reduce car jackings? Why would you be against that?” probably was the end

Because none of those characters have been in live action movies. I would love it if someone who played Two-Face spent the duration of filming refusing to make decisions without flipping a coin over it.

Okay, but your speculation is blatantly incorrect, and everyone you're arguing with is far better informed on the subject. When I find myself in that position I listen and try to learn instead of pitching a fit like you're doing. Maybe you should try asking questions that aren't in bad faith.

Think about it. A bigger percentage of people would rather they never walked again after surgery than wish they hadn't transitioned. It means regret is so rare for transitioning that it's not a valid argument for not allowing someone to do it.

I'm glad you brought up the subject of regret. Let's look at the data on that.

Liberals are eager to agree with MAGA on culture war issues to try to buy votes with the lives of their own constituents, but won't buy votes with mere money and material outreach. They prefer to smugly gloat over the suffering of others than campaign.

I believe it should be a goal. It's definitely better than constantly taking actions that save only as many people as we can without interrupting corporate profits. You have a pinned thread called Project 2029 brainstorming where you fantasy legislate the future. Kind of a hypocritical question.

And again, you're comparing him to a pro-genocide guy (a thing that's already a deal-breaker with most people the Democrats need to win) and someone who has physically involved himself with harming the poor. That's a far cry from where Obama was.

If we had been pickier about our candidate back then? Gitmo might be closed. We might have universal healthcare. A lot fewer drone strikes of civilians in the Middle East would probably have happened. If we had gotten a real reformer instead of Obama we'd be in much better shape.

Pretty sure we'd have to do that if Newsom got in too. Democrats tend to normalize whatever fascist crap Republicans have done when they take back power. It would help if more Democrats would call the genocide what it is. Pritziker seems like he's almost there.

Then, they should put forward a leader who isn't throwing marginalized people under the bus. It's not complicated. If you run another zionist, neoliberal, who hates the poor, then people aren't going to unite under him. Newsom ain't the guy.

Nobody is asking for perfect. You don't have to be perfect to believe in trans rights and to not hate homeless people. I expect from Democrats to run someone who isn't a fucking corporatist, zionist, transphobic, piece of shit. Believing everyone has rights isn't some unattainable pedestal.

The Israelis are colonists supported by the West. And for people who live "peacefully" they've mass slaughtered Palestinians (the indigenous people, since that seems to be unclear to you) a lot over the decades. I know history too well for your zionist horseshit to be mistaken as facts.

Honestly, I'm disabled, autistic, and poor. There's only so much I can do, but that doesn't change that Newsom is a transphobic piece of shit who hates the homeless and isn't accomplishing anything of value despite being in a position of power.

For a start, I'm not lining up behind a different awful person just because he's making fun of the one currently in power. I'm advocating for the marginalized groups in our country (the ones both Newsom and Trump hate equally). And asking me what I'm doing doesn't change that Newsom is doing nothing
xarthras.bsky.social (@xarthras.bsky.social) reply parent
And what does that actually achieve? I don't care if they're irked if it doesn't change anything. That's not resistance. If you're protected enough to be content with childishly gloating that someone else is mad then good for you, but that's not the boat most people are in.
xarthras.bsky.social (@xarthras.bsky.social) reply parent
1) They're not my lot. I'm an independent. 2) If making Trump mad actually accomplished anything it would matter, but it doesn't. It just placates people unaffected by what Trump is doing. If they can pretend someone in.power is fighting back it gives them less will to do so themselves.

That doesn't make anything better. The "2 state solution" he supports is one where Palestinians are disarmed and everyone goes back to ignoring Israeli aggression. Nothing else he said changed his framing this as Israel being a buddy who just needs a hug and few words to stop genociding.
