  • Antony Blinken Needs to Go

    Jump

  • I think, as more and more information on US' involvement in the Israeli genocide come to light, we have to face the fact that American voters simply don't care. Both major parties enthusiastically participate in funneling US taxpayers' money to Israel, and watching them bomb children, hospitals, and innocent people day after day for an entire year hasn't changed public sentiment on that.

    If anyone really cared about the genocide, they wouldn't vote Democrat or Republican. On this issue the parties are in complete agreement.

  • Blue-Collar Workers Deserve Six-Figure Salaries Too

    Jump

  • The minimum wage was always intended to be a living wage, and when I look at everything we've lost by electing people who coddle billionaires, it puts me in a blind rage.

    Other countries have $25 billion dollar war budgets, universal health care, living wages, free college, and an actual social safety net.

    We here in the US have 700 billionaires and an entire population of people who can't endure any unexpected financial hardship without going further into debt.

  • News Brief: Harris' Mid 2000s Neocon Re-Brand and Centrist Voters as Free Real Estate --- Citations Needed Podcast

    Jump

  • It's fascinating in a sad, depressing way, watching Harris promise to crack down on the border and, instead of touting various benefits for the people whose votes she's courting, is instead promising tax cuts. She doesn't seem to have an adequate understanding of what it means to be a working-class American, where a one-time tax cut cannot replace having a monthly or bi-weekly benefits check to help with the soaring cost of living. (A soaring cost that, coincidentally, the Biden Administration has kind of just ignored.)

  • Microsoft's LinkedIn: If our AI gets it wrong, that's your problem

    Jump

  • At this point, if you're not double-checking something produced by your AI tool of choice, it absolutely is your fault. It's no secret that these applications were trained on garbage.

  • Fifth peacekeeper wounded by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, UN says

    Jump

  • Ah, my mistake mixing them up. Thank you for the correction.

  • Fifth peacekeeper wounded by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, UN says

    Jump

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it in the UN Charter that an attack on UN forces is an attack on the entire dang alliance?

  • TikTok executives know about the harms the app poses for teenagers, lawsuit documents allege

    Jump

  • There's plenty of evidence that social media is harmful to kids, teens, and adults. Several are referenced in this article: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/social-media-teens-mental-health

    We also know that FB has used its platform to unknowingly run social experiments on users without their knowledge and helped the proliferation of misinformation to the tremendous detriment of our country and our people. With gen AI creating even more false information, it's imperative that governments crack down.

    Social Media can and should be regulated just like any other objectionable form of speech.

  • Milley acted to prevent Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China, book says

    Jump

  • Totally.

    I was very impressed by Democrats' reaction when the Roe repeal was leaked.

    They used it to raise money.

    That alone is indicative of the fact that they're unsuited to govern.

  • Milley acted to prevent Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China, book says

    Jump

  • Well, thank you for your perspective.

    Have a nice weekend.

  • Keir Starmer’s Anti-Populism Is a Politics of Hopelessness

    Jump

  • The Democrats here in America would love him.

  • Milley acted to prevent Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China, book says

    Jump

  • I honestly think you and I are on pretty close to the same page as far as American politics are concerned

    I really think we're not.

    But thanks for the discussion.

  • Milley acted to prevent Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China, book says

    Jump

  • What's amazing is seeing a president who isn't content to make excuses.

  • Milley acted to prevent Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China, book says

    Jump

  • Nothing I say is going to change your mind, and that's okay. Thank you for the discussion.

  • Milley acted to prevent Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China, book says

    Jump

  • He also dispelled the myth that one needs 60 votes to pass legislation, and yet, I still have to hear Democratic supporters make that excuse for why they never fulfill their promises.

  • Milley acted to prevent Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China, book says

    Jump

  • And Harris will stand by and make excuses when the same things happen under her watch. We know this because that's what Biden and Obama have done.

    So what's the point?

    I don't know how much failure it'll take before Democratic voters start to realize they should make different choices if they actually want change.

  • New Yorker Sides With Right Against Childless Cat Ladies

    Jump

  • The NY 'News' industry has, in recent years, routinely defended fascism as well.

    I'm not sure how a person is realistically supposed to have a family when they're having to work upwards of 80 hours a week just to cover basic living expenses.

  • You Should Be Furious at the Political Class For Enabling This Climate Catastrophe

    Jump

  • Agreed.

    But 99% of voters are going to pull the lever for the same people doing absolutely nothing about it in a month here in the US. The whole thing feels pretty hopeless.

  • Milley acted to prevent Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China, book says

    Jump

  • When you elect an opposition party that doesn't actually oppose anything, every issue that concerns you is in jeopardy, yes. Further, I wouldn't trust someone who built their career on locking up nonviolent drug users en masse to care much what happens to you or your family.

    They certainly don't care about mine. My eighty-year old parents are driving for DoorDash, in a car I lent them, and that's the only thing separating them from homelessness and starvation.

  • Milley acted to prevent Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China, book says

    Jump

  • I don't think that's accurate.

    I'm not the one gaslighting myself about Democratic governance or pretending that they actually did the things that they promised, and neither are the people who need better pay instead of memes.
