Least islamaphobic liberal.

OK now do Iran

They absolutely were compelled by his opposition to international conflict and intervention - which was a huge part of Clinton’s legacy as SoS.

People forget that nationwide elections are ordinarily determined by infrequent voters to begin with.

It wasn’t high-propensity voters voting for trump, third party, or abstaining, it was ordinary non-political americans who didn’t see a point in voting for a status-quo center-right candidate.

People have been screaming at democrats since at least 2008 that they need more progressive, more radical policies, and they’ve repeatedly avoided addressing those concerns. Trump ran in 2016 as a moderate. He came out on the left of fucking hillary clinton on the war in Iraq and interventionism. She lost to trump because he maneuvered to the left of her, and democrats still have not fucking learned.

Democrats need to let go of their moderate progenitors and re-build their base from the bottom left. They’re leaving millions of voters on the table because they keep hamstringing themselves on a bygone era of popular neoliberalism, and there’s nobody left to blame now but the party itself.

It doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable, it’s just hilarious that they felt the need to include it lol

“Did Biden bite a baby? Maybe, but the guy who said something about it is a felon!”

if it’s relevant to what they’re saying, yea lol

How does Benny Johnson being paid by russia change or effect what he’s saying about Biden pretending to bite babies?

Like, if the article had said:

Lemmy user LowtierComputer, whom is alleged to like pineapple on their pizza, commented on an article about Biden biting the baby in the turkey costume.

“Wouldn’t you like to know who’s a Russian rat up front?” they wrote. Their post had been upvoted 4 times by midday Friday.

How does your preferred pizza topping relate to the topic of your comment (biden biting babies)? It might be true, and it might be important information to people who distrust pineapple-pizza-lovers, but it absolutely no bearing on the thing you wrote.

Lmao it’s just funny that an article about something so ridiculous has deleterious details about random conservative commentators in it, as if those details have any impact on whether the ridiculous thing happened or not. It almost makes you wonder if the story is actually about Biden at all, or if it’s about how shitty those commentators are and Biden was just the excuse to write about them.

The fact that this extremely unserious story is being taken extremely seriously by all parties involved is hilarious to me. Not just the faux outrage by the conservative media, but the shots being fired back by the lib media in response.

Ok, first, LMAO that this is real.

Second, the entire political media apparatus in the US has completely lost grasp with reality. Conservative media has predictably reacted to this with faux outrage, but the fucking liberal response to the conservative response is hilariously combative:

Conservative commentator Benny Johnson, whom the Department of Justice recently alleged was unwittingly paid by Russian state media to produce Kremlin sympathetic content, reposted an image of Biden biting the baby in the turkey costume.

“Apparently Joe Biden is biting babies at The White House this evening,” he wrote. His post had been viewed 740,000 times by Thursday morning.

Lol, like - sure - all objectively true. But throwing out ‘he’s a paid russian agent’ accusations against a tweet that’s pointing to something Biden actually did is batshit crazy lol. Is the implication that russia is paying Johnson to fabricate a story about Biden biting babies?

The US political media has become a parody of itself and all I can do is laugh at it.

What else is a debate?

well certainly not where you ‘disallow’ someone of their view, whatever the fuck that even means.

Lmao are you trying to debate me about whether you were debating people?

wtf does ‘disallow them their view’ even mean lol? Do you have that power? Woah that’s crazy

You asked “is capitalism the problem” and everyone unambiguously said “yes”.

And even now, you’re saying, “nobody answered the question because they haven’t agreed with my assessment 😣”

lmao, get over yourself bud. Few here -if any- are on that ‘capitalism would work if that was what we had’ libertarian bent.

It isn’t open ended if the person is asking a question they’ve already made up their mind on lol.

An open-ended question is more like “are hotdogs sandwhiches or tacos?”

I think people are being extraordinarily polite for something that was clearly debatelord bait.

You misunderstand, I only mean that it’s disconcerting that there may be some reason that cis-women do not find the hobby/group appealing

I know ghost has a container deployment and uses activity pub

I do wonder how many within the man/woman responses are trans, too.

Idk if that survey was mainly advertised on lemmy, but i know that at least one instance that did a survey had maybe 2% woman respondents, but more than two thirds of those were transfem.

Either way, a little disconcerting. I’m not sure what to make of that or what (if anything) to do about it

crawling other people’s content for the purpose of making money off it (in a way that does not benefit the content creator).

You’re describing capitalism there, bud

It just occurred to me that convincing someone of leaving a social media site is a lot like convincing someone to leave a big city.

They have friends there and have grown accustomed to the vibrant and diverse activities, but realistically nothing they do or have there can’t be replicated in a smaller town, a smaller media site.

They’re liable to put up with a lot of shit to stay with their community, but eventually people get pushed out and find greener pastures and a quiet space for themselves elsewhere. At least, that’s what I attribute to what I perceive to be a higher average age on the fediverse.

I’m too old to find the constant stimulation and activity attractive anymore, and I much prefer the freedom to move around and be choosy about my media choices.

I have a Samsung smart TV that is not connected to any networks, and every few days it will display a ‘detecting device’ loading screen when switching to my input that fails after 30 seconds or until I cancel it (canceling does not seem to impact its functioning)

I have no evidence but I strongly suspect this to be related to attempting to record and send device data to a remote server.

Someone didn’t read the parent comment.
