This is why it’s silly hearing billionaires, who do the most damage to our planet, telling us how urgently we need to “get off this rock” which has supported life for millions of years in favor of some dead planet. It’s really just an extension of capitalism that demands infinite space to exploit, instead of being content with sustainability.

They got ignored by the people they petitioned for help.

Anti-genocide protesters did more than just pick up a phone and call. We all saw the result.

Democrats: “we are the only thing standing against fascism”

Reality: *democrats standing with fascism*

Seeing as biden gave billions in support of israel while they carried out this genocide for over a year, the moniker is well-earned. Hopefully you do some self-reflection to realize that both parties full-throatedly support israel. The other guy being worse is not an excuse to support genocide. Democrats will keep talking about how much worse republicans are while moving to the right in pace with them.

Do you think the outcome would be different under democrats? Please tell me how the party that has given billions in support of israel’s genocide for over a year was so totally going to stop it at any moment if they just simply got voted in again.

People need motivation to vote. A selective tax credit or “other guy bad” simply isn’t enough. You can complain all you want about how stupid people are for not voting against fascism, but if you cannot face the reality of voters and how to get them to vote then how much smarter can you really call yourself over others? This is a lesson that apparently needs to be learned every election yet never seems to be learned.

Panic buying like this only leads to more price increases. I just buy the minimum, like usual.

Maybe prices will come down with the next downturn. Will be tough to hold a job to pay those reduced prices, but at least the prices are lower.

Look at what atrocities hamas has forced the idf to do for over a year now!!! Seriously, I can’t believe you’re trying to make this argument at this point.

Turns out the strategy of talking down to people with “this election is too important to listen to voters” didn’t work. Too bad regular Americans will be saddled with the consequences while the incompetent politicians whose job is to get votes will still be sitting pretty. Looking forward to the next time I get spammed to donate to millionaires to “save democracy” while they continue ignoring voters.

Somehow the same people who thought they could make the argument of “neither party will stop what is happening in Gaza, so vote based on other issues” don’t think israel already had a blank check. Now these same people are gloating as if the people of Gaza deserve to be genocided because the democrats didn’t win. It’s sick and it’s illustrative of what’s wrong with the “democratic” party.

Exactly. He already has his hand up the government’s ass and had been sucking off billions of dollars in subsidies and other benefits. This will only get worse, but apparently boosting musk is bipartisan, the two parties just differ in how much they want to give to him.

I have no confidence in Intel’s long-term prospects.

These fuckers are everywhere.

Can I have an interrobang candle?

Why does this sex pest get a platform instead of being “cancelled” like he should be?

Break free from the solution they resorted to in the pursuit of profits? Too bad that backfired, but it’s okay since Intel can keep making subpar products as long as the government has their back.

With how much talk there is about China invading Taiwan, you’d think they have invaded it ten times already. Then again, maybe this excessive reporting is another “effort to contain frustration”.

None of the west’s enemies are afforded the same generosity. Maybe we don’t want the majority of guests to be a bunch of mindless parrots who only care about human rights when mainstream media from “their side” tell them to care (as an excuse to project power globally). It ends up permeating all discussions, even ones that aren’t directly about politics and you end up building an echo chamber. It shapes how you see the world, for example, you took a post talking specifically about western leadership to be about “convicting all of western civilization” as if the victim of the genocide is actually the west.
