  • it's good to look in the mirror and understand the material outcomes of voter behavior

    Jump

  • Ultimately yes, its the fault of the voters (and non voters) who let their emotions cloud their judgement.

    Just curious, why place blame on the voters? In my opinion we should be placing blame on the party / candidates. It is the parties and candidates job to ensure they are running on a winnable platform with a powerful message. Even outside of the Gaza issue Kamala did not back any popular policies and instead shifted to a very right (circa 2014/2016) platform. Particularly on taxation of billionaires, oil drilling, and healthcare for all, she walked all these policies to the right in the latter half of her campaign. There ultimately no reason to vote for her except so she would beat Trump, which makes sense for a lot of people, but I can also see many who weren't inspired to vote and just assumed she'd win.

    Edit: also just saw a guy below said a very similar thing so sorry if this feels like an attack from this perspective.

  • your republican goons

    What are you even talking about man? I'm about as far away from Republican as it gets. Try having a conversation before lobbing insults, I know it's hard nowadays but it can be done.

  • I agree and would love to work towards a world where that is true, unfortunately people love their infighting.

    Doing anything is far better than arguing about what and where the blame is placed infinitely.

  • -The people failed, not the government. We had a free and fair election, saw what at stake, and still people decided to sit it out or throw their vote away.

    Insane take and that's all I have left to say 😂. Feel free to continue supporting democrats on your hedonic treadmill instead of moving towards a better world for everyone.

  • Your argument is only valid to an EXTREMELY small selection of people in 4 battleground states, but you project it to every leftist who criticized the Biden Kamala admin for allowing Gaza to be destroyed.

    It's much easier to place blame on made up people who have no power than it is to place the blame on the fact that our government systems have allowed this to happen. Why did the Democrats maintain full control of congress and yet nothing was done. They are the ones who held the power to stop this, yet nothing was done. Do not blame 10,000 individuals some with family who have been killed in Gaza when the blame should be placed on our government systems and Democratic parties.

    We should instead be uniting on solutions to these problems not shoving blame down leftists throats who the vast majority of are not responsible for the problem at hand.

    There's no reason to infight we're all on the same side against fascism and western hegemony.

  • Having conversations around how ineffective voting is, is not equivalent to discouraging voting.

  • Did they also receive the federal employee "buy out" email yesterday morning? I'd imagine that would induce a lot of unnecessary added stress.

  • Pointing out Americans system of live free or dying to avert censorship while also repeating US propaganda about China is hilariously ironic

    What happens to the land/house you own if you don't pay property tax in the US? Chinas 70 year lease is effectively a more solidified ownership than the US.

  • China has way too many people and there is more competition for jobs.

    Is this only for well paying jobs like software engineering or is this also true for shittier service/factory style jobs?

  • Why would you even reply to begin with if you're only going to derail the conversation with no pertinent information and not discuss the topic at hand?

  • Because this exact statement can also be applied to the US? Which to be frank I'm all for talking about, the US probably has the most enemies in the world. But regardless this discussion is intended to be about the government impacts on their citizens.

  • Why does every discussion around China devolve into this as if the US doesn't also do this?

    Instead let's discuss how average Chinese citizen in Shanghai is doing compared to the average citizen in San Francisco and have a real discussion between the two countries and how their government impacts their life.

  • Do people still use Jim Crowe laws to talk about the daily life of US citizens? These are 40-60 year old discussion that do not adequately describe what life is like to the average citizen today.

    Yeah they have their own homeless issues, but imo having a homeless population who has a job and chooses not to return home vs one that has nothing is two very different situations and almost incomparable problems.

  • Right now I look at my life in the late 20s in the states and even despite having a well paying tech job, I will have to sacrifice everything in my life in order to have a family or even own a house and those two are exclusive of each other. Although not in deep debt, I've definitely had to pay my fair share towards medical and student debt.

    I'm watching critical infrastructure projects that could impact so many people take 30 years to build.

    The amount of homeless we see on the streets is our own governmental failure and the increased crime associated with it. Seeing what I see in US streets really can wear an empathetic person down, it's a cruel world here.

    Our diet and price to eat healthy in the US is continuously worsening (yes this is a choice to an extent but also a cultural problem that grows over time)

    And even though it's absolutely recency bias, the deportation of Latinos does not strike confidence in me given my heritage.

    I do think China has changed a lot in the last 15-30 years, and don't get me wrong I don't think it's a perfect life, I understand there's an infinite amount of competition for well paying jobs, and housing prices are extremely high (albeit not as high relative to ours). But when you show me how China has effectively succeeded at each of these topics compared to our own governmental failures that I experience on the daily, it makes me question my own life here and why people immediately criticize China without nuance.

  • As an added note, they deported multiple children to Colombia the other day. Half the people they've arrested in specific areas have zero criminal records. Some are even US citizens. This is not for immigrants, this a Latino concentration camp.

    I know two people first hand who have been here for over 30 years with no criminal records who are being detained. These are the people being sent to Guantanamo.
