At best he’s doing it as a distraction…
At worst it’s because agencies fucked up and he’s using these decade old fuckups to discredit American intelligence agencies.
Like, not in a “we fucked up and need to fix procedure” idea of transparency but in a “we need to get rid of the FBI and start a new agency” type of way where it’s built from the ground up to be loyal to trump.
So “cross platform” as in Linux and windows…
Technically correct but for a second I thought they meant Xbox or Sony had taken down their walled gardens.
All they can think to do
They’re not that stupid.
They know exactly what voters want to hear and what they want politicians to do.
The issue is that is often the direct opposite of what their donors tell them to do. If they wanted to reach out, they’d hand AOC a megaphone or let Bernie talk about policy.
They’re focused on “messaging” because that’s what they have control over still. They can’t change their votes or support of policies, because the oligarchs decide that for Dem leadership just like they do Republican.
A letter by their name doesn’t make them your friend just because the other letter would make them your enemy. We need to have higher standards than just that letter, otherwise the ones with the most donations will keep winning primaries, and keep being the only other option.
See, this is where communication always breaks down…
If a progressive is politically active right now it’s safe to assume that they held their nose and voted D.
Which I’ve done just like I’ve always done.
But we tried to warn people trump was going to win if Dems kept moving right…
Dems kept moving right, and we were right. Then when we try to talk about how to win next time and how to gain back all the votes moving right cost us…
We get people trying to say we’re the problem because we want to fucking win.
So, not voting and encouraging others not to vote because “blue MAGA” is actively helping the people who are currently enacting genocide+.
I got a big post history, plenty of opportunities for you to find a single comment where I’ve ever advocated for not voting for the least evil candidate in the general.
But if you got a little faith you can take my word it’s not in here.
If stopping fascism isn’t enough of a reason for you to vote Dems, that’s a you problem and not a them problem
If stopping fascism wasn’t enough of a reason for Biden and Kamala to stop supporting a genocide…
Maybe they weren’t the right candidates?
I don’t get why so many people think voters always have to adapt their values to an existing politician, rather than getting a politician who agrees with voters…
Like, how fucking evil would someone have to be to risk trump taking over America rather than not supporting a genocide?
Take Biden and Kamala’s name off it, and just how the fuck can someone say that hypothetical person would be a good president?
Yet Netanyahu continued to publicly and explicitly support Trump…
And I’d call him an idiot for it, because I couldn’t and still can’t understand why Biden and Kamala put up with it.
Like, Bibi is an asshole. trump is an asshole.
No one is debating that.
But Biden and Kamala either couldn’t see that, or understood that and for some reason kept supporting Bibi and his genocide.
They were Charlie Brown lining up to kick the football over and over again. Except this time with Lucy openly saying she’d yank the ball and calling Charlie an idiot for continuing to try.
Yet Biden continued to put Israel over America…
And Kamala pledged to be the same as Biden.
So why aren’t you blaming them for continuing to support a genocide even though literally every poll said it was going to get trump elected?
MAGA sweeping all 3.
A lot of the House Senate races are likely due to the “victory fund” nonsense Hillary started and was then passed down to Biden and Kamala
The way it gets away donation limits is using the max from state parties. The last time we got to see the books was after 2016, and states got like 1% of what was donated “for them” to the DNC and Clinton campaigns
There’s no sign anything has changed, and the neoliberals running the party have no requirements to disclose them
So I just assume if they’re hiding the books, they’re hiding grifts at this point.
I never said I support genocide
You never said it.
But you weren’t on the ballot.
Biden did support it, and Kamala literally said she’d be the same as Biden.
And that was the largest issue people who voted D in 2020 gave for not voting in 2024. It definitely wasn’t the only reason, but when people were asked for the biggest contribute it was Biden and Kamala’s support of genocide.
Quick edit:
According to the poll, 29% of that voter group said “ending Israel’s violence in Gaza” was the “most important issue” for them in the election.
Gaza was followed by the economy (24%), medicare and society security (12%), immigration and border security (11%), healthcare (10%) and abortion policy (9%).
single issue voters
I hate how people see a single criticism about the topic at hand and claim that’s all someone has issues with…
Like, it just makes no rationale sense, and when someone does start listing multiple reasons, they get screeched at because it’s off topic.
I just legitimately don’t understand how people don’t understand and legitimately believe what you just said…
But here we are again.
If they did, then all the neolibs were wrong that voters don’t care about Palestine…
Which logically means the party needs to move to the left at least enough so that genocide isn’t acceptable.
Instead, they act like fucking trump supporters and brag that a genocide is still happening.
There’s zero logic or empathy with them, which is why some people call them “blue maga”.
They’re the ones that didn’t stop watching CNN even after the new buyers blatantly and publicly said their goal was to become the fox news if he left.
Bruh, if support of genocide isn’t the line that separates good and evil for you…
What is?
And why are you so mad at people who couldn’t ignore it, instead of the people supporting it even tho vast majority of the people who vote for them was against it?
How is that representation?
Vote for me and I’ll do what I want, fuck your values
Doesn’t work with the left. How have people not realized this by now?
Wouldn’t have ever been elected even back in 2016 if neoliberals hadn’t used him as an excuse to be more conservative than Reagan…
Still hopeful the DNC chair election finally takes them out of party power.
But if not…
Then 2/3/25 is the day we need to solidify around a third party. It’s insanity to keep following neoliberals after the last 3 elections.
The only reason they’re talking about “gulf of America” is so people ignore the other shit they’re doing.
It’s stupid as fuck and will never stick, so if you want to complain about trump, complain about the shit that’s actually hurting people.
Some cities are downright hostile to vehicles with fewer than 4 wheels and you put your life on the line every time you go out.
Even in cities where they’re common…
I lived in Hawaii where they’re all over, and even tho I’m basically a giant I rode one too. One day I was a couple cars back from a 4 way stop, and there was a woman on a scooter a few cars ahead. I’m tall enough I could see over cars on it, so I saw her wait her turn, slowly pull out into the intersection…
And the truck to her left just guns it, hits her pretty hard, and then just drives off.
She did everything right and just got demolished.
I fucking hate how “populism” got the “progressive/socialist/communist” treatment by the neoliberal mouthpieces of billionaires…
Populism is a range of political stances that emphasize the idea of the common ‘people’ and often position this group in opposition to a perceived ‘elite’.[1] It is frequently associated with anti-establishment and anti-political sentiment.[2] The term developed in the late 19th century and has been applied to various politicians, parties and movements since that time, often as a pejorative. Within political science and other social sciences, several different definitions of populism have been employed, with some scholars proposing that the term be rejected altogether.[1][3]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populism
The issue with trump is he lies about being a populist.
The issue with the neoliberal wing of the democratic party is they are the establishment. So they actively fight against common Americans gaining any power, politically or economically.
And obviously Republicans are worse, but ask Americans if they want the establishment, and the bets reaction you’ll get is “better than Mad Max”.
And that’s just not enough to win elections.
We need a Dem party that is sincerely populist or we’ll keep losing elections.
The people are over neoliberalism, and have been for decades.
The issue is if they’re not plugged in all the way…
At least one manufacturer set it up so if the power cord isnt fully seated, an error light comes on and the GPU doesn’t work.
And I have zero idea why Nvidia didn’t do it themselves so it’s on all cards.
so many people would believe otherwise
Just like they did four years ago when the same thing happened…
There’s just nothing to gain from intentional fuckery tho, and a very plausible reason.
Even if they “unfollowed” it might not have stuck and if they refreshed it still would have been there.
Things changing on the GUI but not where it actually matters is literally the issue here…
So I 100% believe a bunch of people experienced what you’re saying.
They’re just confusing client side GUI with server side database.
It’s insane to me Disney hasn’t bought up game studios.
They had one till 2016, but they closed it instead of buying up talent.
Just not having to pay for licensing fees is huge, it’s not like Disney to not want the whole pie instead of just a slice.
