    Not sure what you’re talking about. Since the summer it’s just been post about Dems and how Republicans are weirdos. Honestly, the socialist presence on Lemmy is lacking.

      You obviously haven’t been on all the meme sublemmies that are nothing but capitalism bad.

      Yeah, I see lots of bitching about there being (gasp) communists on a platform that was built by communists.

        Personally i don’t mind the communism as much (I share many of its beliefs and goals) as the tankieism.

        No, China and Russia are not role models but hostile actors. No, their imperialist bullshit and human rights violations or straight up war crimes aren’t justified because the west did a thing that one time and it was also evil. No, the russian kleptocracy and chinese state capitalism are not socialism or communism.

      Democrats are quite convinced they are the most radical and pragmatic political force on earth, being reluctant followers of Placeholder Hitler pitted against More Racist Hitler in the general election (the only election in 𝕌𝕊𝕠𝕟𝕚𝕒 and therefore the only legitimate election on the American continents, Canadia is a 𝕌𝕊𝕠𝕟𝕚𝕒𝕟 state no further questions thank you, thank you). It’s a shame they are all legally required to vote for a Hitler, but the law says for everyone who doesn’t vote for a Hitler they will throw an undocumented child into a fetid ravine where a half-dead river struggles to flow leaving them for the coyotes.

        I don’t remember Harris openly advocating ethnic cleansing. If you’re going to say she’s equivalent to Hitler, I expect you to bring receipts.

          She is literally a rebrand of Biden, would you call what is happening in Palestine and Lebanon ethnic cleansing? I don’t feel like debating nonexistent changes to the same political platform of lebensraum

            I would call what’s happening in Palestine beyond Biden’s meaningful control.

            He can cease arms shipments to Israel, but not without losing the election by angering the Jewish voters, and then Trump will nuke Gaza and build one of his high-rises on the rubble. That would solve nothing.

            Take it up with Netanyahu and his Israeli supporters. They’re the ones who decided to bomb the hell out of Gaza, not Biden.

            BTW, Lebensraum involved taking people’s houses, not blowing them up.

              That got me winded since I’m on my phone, I forgot to mention the nuke thing. What is stopping Israel from nuking Palestine is a trifecta of linked issues

              • expending its deterrence versus Iran

              • counterattack which could flatten Israel is possible without nukes, and has been saved up already (this is not a joke)

              • counterattacks against US oil interests in the region

              It’s not about the unlimited might of the US being held back by goodwill. There are very real limitations, the Pentagon planned on doing what it’s being forced to do with Iran to China. Plans are scaling down all the time.

              By the way the 170,000 pounds figure was from what they dropped on a single city block.

              Dude your worldview is completely based on news headlines and dem memes I don’t have time for this. Consider this a brief overview of stuff to consider and maybe redirect your energy to something better than saving the reputation of the dems, which they certainly will not help you with.

              The talking point that Trump is more Hitlerian due to being a threat to the institutions of bourgeois democracy is more credible than the “harm reduction to domestic minorities and global south countries”, but fortunately most people aren’t goofy enough to think that it matters if yet another president oversteps legal boundaries. Fascists rising only had to get rid of bourgeois democracy because power was not secure. Zero institutions in US democracy hinder fascists. The democrats refuse to undo conservative power grabs out of false pragmatism as they already got what they wanted, power within the system over their lessers. Like you view me, like a rube who needs a scolding.

              Biden’s branding of Reluctant Hitler has been slapped on the most lenience Israel has ever been given. Harris has also been clear that nobody will stop Israel from dropping 170,000 pounds (multiple Hiroshimas) of US bombs on Palestine and Lebanon.

              Biden has been even more extreme on border issues than Trump 1, and Trump 2 will be even more extreme than Biden.

              They are both worse than Hitler in their own way because they run a well-oiled empire not a cannibalistic aberration. Our cannibalism of Europe is financial, not via real land grabs.

              Please consider how much more there is to our lives than the general election. This is an opportunity to talk to people about what is being omitted from both party’s platforms.

              Anyways Jill Stein for the general or fuck you find me a candidate that isn’t Hitler.

                I’m sure that Gish gallop would make Vance proud, but you’ll have to do better than that if you want to fool me.

                You’ll also need another account, because that one is blocked. Good day.
