In an ideal world, I would pick a progressive 10/10 times.
However we don't live in an ideal world. If your options are warm, stale beer or a steaming cup of shit, I'm going to pick the better option, every time. I'll push for more ideal options the next go around, but I won't sink the ship and damn me and everyone to having to deal with shit the next 4 years because I didn't get what I want.
Who could have ever forseen this?
Trump: "I declare that we're having peace talks!"
Advisor: "Mr. President, that's not how it works. You can't just declare that two parties, that you're not a part of and evidently shown you have zero control over, are now having peace talks."
Trump: "...but I declared it."
Approximately 500,000 years ago, when someone made a tiny spear. They just didn't know it was an arrow at the time.
I mean what is an arrow, but a much smaller spear?
I just missed my flight. I was stressed and upset. This greentext.....holy shit. I'm in tears laughing. Thanks!
I tried playing it while unemployed. Did not click with me. At all. I just don't get it.
100% this. There's been resistance everywhere over this. Minnesota drove out a bunch of ICE agents from their neighborhoods, there's been major protests all over the US about it. Like... we're for sure doing it.
Ah yes, the dangerous criminals that are out farming for slave wages. Good job ICE. I'm assuming that ICE is going to punish the farmer that employed these dangerous criminals? ICE has entirely lost the fucking plot...
No, they aren't paying for the no kings rally. This has been planned for months - essentially since Trump declared he wanted his thuper duper special big boy parade.
Just because they paid for an ad to support the movement doesn't mean it's now co-opted by Walmart or any other billionaire.
This is blatant misinformation.
It's grandstanding.....but it pisses off the Orange Turdburgler so I can't complain too much.
I bring it up here on Lemmy, because it was primarily the ML leftists (on Lemmy) that pushed the idea to skip voting as a way to protest Kamala as a choice....that it was better to permit an authoritarian to take office than allow a centrist democrat. I would 100% would have liked someone like Bernie taking office, but when I'm presented with 'kick in the nuts' vs being castrated as my only options, I'll take the 'kick in the nuts' everytime.
