I mean .mls have to downplay how big a threat the fascists are, or else they might have to do any amount of reflection about how they insist we should do nothing to stop the fascists to send a message to da libz, while also claiming that they’re the only ones who take the true threat fascism represents seriously.
Same vein, make “This Land” the National Anthem.
A lot more down to what music most Americans actually value in their day to day anyways.
Just completely ignored the spelled put reason for all of this on your way to this comment huh?
Not voting does nothing but say that your opinions are not worth listening to.
That is the entirety of what that action says.
There is no other message that gets recieved.
Because under FPTP, there is no other message the Dems can afford to receive.
The math literally works out that you are either supporting them or that you are not, and that the best spent energy is on consistent voters who are able to be convinced, not on morons who think that saying maybe they’ll vote this time if all of their demands are met by election day with a divided house and senate, swearzies.
To party planners this stunt you’re pulling looks like nothing but Lucy with the football saying you swear you aren’t gonna pull it away this time if they took a run at it like that really old guy did in '16 and '20 before being completely abandoned at the polls.
Dependability and consistency is what gets names on primary ballots that can make change.
You have to show up and do the bare minimum work, consistently, or you are mathematically not worth the trouble of trying to please.
The time to make this stand was in the primary season, and y’all told the democrats that being even low-key anti-genocode is nothing but running at Lucy’s football yet again, after the most vocal members of the progressive flank about it all got knocked out in that stage of the election.
You had your chance to send the message and you fucking wasted it on the “none of the above” bullshit.
You literally saw the knife coming down on the people who were listening to you and instead of showing up for them you stood there and then scratched your head over why nobody’s around who’s listening to you anymore.
Fuck you.
You created the current crop of Dems that have to be convinced even harder now that pursuing a cease-fire is worth anything electorally, and the only reason that’ll even be possible is a once in a century replacement of the candidate for head of the party.
Show up at the primaries for anti-genocode candidates, y’know, like fucking nobody did this year because half the most progressive members of the party got ousted by israeli funded pacs, who’s messaging should have had zero impact on this supposed very dependable voting base that the democrats should really spend more effort listening to.
Wanna know how radicals took over the republican party? They established themselves as a major voting contingent, and then they hijacked all the primaries.
They would laugh in your face for suggesting that the way to push the Republicans towards their goals is to just not vote at all and then loudly declare it was due to insufficient trumpiness. Not even they are that stupid.
Trust me, drama is worth a lot more when seen than it is when experienced.
Let the guy who wants to do even more genocide into office! That’ll show the genociders!
People really out here wondering how the dems could have such right wing policies while also never showing up during primaries or generals to indicate that moving left will pay anything back.
Fosters electoral climate where the people who at minimum are sympathetic to the genociders are the majority of likely voters.
"Why won’t the dems go against the genociders‽ How dare a major political party adopt policy positions that upset a contingent of voters who have consistently demonstrated they can’t be trusted to show up even when you do take the positions they want as evidenced by how they completely abandoned Bernie during the primaries BOTH GODDAMNED TIMES!!!"
Now to speak as a Palestinian American, your supposed stand for your principals is actively putting my people in even more danger, so quit acting like you’re their ally while you basically use them as a hostage to demand leaders stop letting them be held hostage.
If you think the answer to Dems being soft on Bibi is to let power back into the hands of the guy who handed him West Bank, East Jerusalem, and The Golan Heights on a silver platter, you’re either a covert zionist, or an unwitting agent of them, either way, you need to sit down and shut the fuck up before you get the people you’re talking over into even more danger.
Zest a small bag of lemons, 4 to 5, then peel the lemons and reserve the zest with the lemon flesh.
Get a box of strawberries and chop off the tops before cutting up and tossing in with the zest and lemon flesh.
Get a cup of cane sugar, and pour it into the bowl before tossing the whole mess together as much as possible, then spread it into a baking pan.
Either hit it with a kitchen torch, or slap it under the broiler for 2 minutes.
Toss it all in the blender with 2 cups of chilled water and give it just enough pulses to get it all combined together.
Strain it into a bowl, then strain it again back into the blender.
Add in 1 to 3 cans of sweetened condensed milk to desired consistency, and cane sugar to taste.
Blend it all together one more time with a handful of ice cubes and voilà.
Swiss because the sweetened condensed milk and zest are from what’s called a Brazilian Lemonade, but what the Brazilians call a Limonada Suisse, and Lion because the Strawberries Cane Sugar and Torch come from Detroit (lions) 75 Kitchen Lemonade.
The wording here makes it sound like we hunted horses for the specific purpose of having sex on them, and honestly, I’d probably be running as fast as a car if that kept happening to me too!
Us. They basically tried to beat pursuit predation by outrunning the distance humans will be willing to track over.
It did not work, they went extinct in North America because of how much it did not work.
I’ve got a lemonade recipe that I will happily be “forgetting” I already made a batch of for the rest of my life.
I call it the Swiss Lion, and it’s creamy fruity lemony goodness.
The same factors that make people more prone to gambling addictions or gaming addictions basically.
And that’s not just me being sarcastic, social media companies literally gave their algorithms instructions which more or less guarantee that content will be presented in a way to strike those same addictive nerves as other gameified addiction traps.
A stock is a piece of the deed or title or charter or whatever that is the essence of the company as a piece of property.
You can buy that piece of the property for a value which fluctuates based on the value of the company as a whole, your fractional piece is tied to the value of what it’s a piece of.
The stock market is the cumulative eco-system in which people are buying and selling stocks in different companies based on fluctuations in value of different companies at different times.
The name of the game is to basically always be selling just before a downturn and always be buying just before an upswing, so that the money you’ve bought the stocks with is always growing, because your bought stocks are always growing in value, until you decide to sell them.
There is a lot of other factors to it but that’s basically it. It’s a system in which you temporarily buy small pieces of companies for the purpose of selling them once they’re more valuable than they were when you bought them.
If you’re thinking that sounds a lot like crypto, you’re not wrong, but the difference is that stocks actually have a modicum of regulation that are meant to keep people from getting fucked over quite as hard as crypto has done. Doesn’t mean that premise is always lived up to, just look at 2008, but overall the stock market represents the safest form of investment you can make other than stuff like federal investments or buying a home that you intend to pass along to your kids.
What is even their problem with FEMA specifically?
It’s like if they were hating on the firefighters for being firefighters
The entirety of staten Island trying to claim sanctuary lol
Because anime are allowed to tell complete stories before being cancelled out of nowhere for not selling enough merchandise.
Exactly what grass roots steps are the greens taking aside from appearing out of thin air every four years to spoil elections to the Republicans?
I didn’t just make up my mind, you chose to behave in a way that made you obvious.
No, you just behave in a way that gives yours away because you’re the exact kind of privileged twit who unironically named themself “LeftOfJillStein” like that signals anything other than that you’re a purity tester who can afford to let everyone else die while they wait for their messiah before taking any action towards even harm mitigation.
Fact that you call it imaginary continues to spell out for us your position of privilege.
You are no ally of the oppressed. You are an appropriator of our language to buy your own feelings of moral superiority.
Again, just spelling out how white and not in danger you are, just now you’re lying about it because you think just going “nah bro” hides how above it all you’re talking as if you know you’ll be fine anyways.
The fediverse makes communities feel even smaller since even widely connected nodes have instances they aren’t networked with, so even a massive userbase can feel like a small neighborhood, because as an individual user, that’s what you’re going to see with your account pegged to any given instance.
