Im not talking about lemmy being generally critical of billionaires, i mean the platform itself and its use is directly fighting against billionaire control of social media, because its social media they cant control.

Youre only pointing out that not enough people are fighting back, but being here is fighting against billionaire control of social media.

You were the one that brought up progress and improvement. But those words have meanings, and its not keeping things the same. Things are currently unacceptable for a lot of people, and everyone here told them to hush up about demanding better. And so they hushed up and stayed home.

What did Kamala say she would do differently? You cant keep talking about progress and improvement without any signs of either. The only potential for improvement we have is a progressive candidate

Your bar is disgustingly low if opposing genocide is asking too much

Its devastated already, under Biden

For me, the election was about preventing genocide. Again, it is not an option for me.

in 4 years you would have had the chance to happily vote for any third fourth or fifth party your heart desired.

I get told this every 4 years. Its always next election.

war aide isn’t “for peace”

Can you say that again but this time understand what you’re saying? That you are talking about giving a genocide committing country all of the weaponry it is using to commit said genocide. And somehow you also hold the opinion that those same people continuing to give the genocide committing country heavy explosives actually want peace.

None of this is news to me, i know how shit FPTP is and thats why i support getting rid of it. While everyone else that hates it for some reason insists on keeping it.

Apparently you did because you said no

Yeah, its proof that democrats are sending bombs and missile to Israel.

Roe got overturned. Climate change is continuing to accelerate and democrats did a lot to make that happen, thats a long discussion though.

close your eyes and hope for the best

Again, I voted. I dont care that you think that a vote for a progressive candidate doesnt count, i took action.

no??

super genocide he says. Damn they just called what Hitler did regular genocide.

Because Biden and Harris and various other Democrats wanted peace and were genuinely concerned about the people in the region caught up in the conflict.

Oh they were sending the genocidal nation a ridiculous amount of bombs and missiles for peace. Makes sense.

I hope you’re happy with your moral high ground because you decided to not vote for Genocide Kamala

There have been such astounding things said with a straight face this year.

Filibuster? Man that asshole doesnt have a filibuster, he has absolutely zero authority over whether or not we send him weapons and financial assistance.

Why would his attitude have to change with Harris vs his current attitude with Biden? Did she say she was gonna stop sending weapons and money? She was pretty adamant about being a continuation of Biden as far as I saw

Yeah, we need to do better than republican and democrat zionist presidents. Though, in recent years it was isolated to a humanitarian crisis, Israel wasnt invading, they just had a stranglehold of Gazas borders. Entirely under Biden though Israel has completely invaded and bombed the whole of the country from northern to southern border.

It was more genocide with Kamala. Genocide is not an option.

I dont know what ‘yes it is’ is in response to.
