    While Trump’s tariffs are a disaster for economy, I’m not sure the Dems plan to escalate to WW3 would’ve had a better outcome (except for military contractors).

    Democrats & Republicans are the cause of our problems. Neither can fix things, nor would they if they could.

      Interesting as the Dems plan was to weaken Russia even further while strengthening NATO bonds and ensuring no need for more nukes in the world. Trump’s isolationist plan strengthens Russia and weakens NATO and our allies leading to other countries having no choice but to aquire nuclear weapons themselves for protection therefore furthering the proliferation of nukes and endangering the world.

        Let’s be real, they wouldn’t “weaken russia even further”, their plan was to keep drop feeding aid so that russia wouldn’t feel the full extent of the consequences to their own actions

          “War is peace” is your line. You’re the one suggesting we reward military aggression by just giving the aggressor whatever they want.

            Look at a map of foreign troop and missile deployments across the globe for each country, and then try to tell me with a straight face it’s the US who’s the peacekeepers.

      This narrative needs to die. Harris retained more male Biden voters than female Biden voters. The DNC forced a candidate through again—a candidate, mind you, that couldn’t even get traction in the last primary—without letting us choose them, they bungled the entire Biden situation by hiding his declining faculties, and when they choose their candidate for us to swallow? They add a heaping dose of the fucking cheneys as if that’s going to help their cause. They once again keep shifting to the right instead of listening to the massive calls for more progressive policies, and then when they fucked it up so royally they couldn’t beat the most unpopular president in history who was outright saying he was going to be a dictator, they go on the news and say it’s because they were “too progressive.” Not to mention the massively undercounted and overlooked Palestine issue that turned off so many voters. And then they have the gall to say it was because of misogyny. Gtfoh

        My thought is that the center-right Democrats that hold power in the federal government saw what happened to the center-right Republicans when MAGA took over, the centrist lost power to the more right leaning politicians. If the centrist Democrats do the same they will lose power as well. So their strategy has been to ignore and undermine the more left leaning policies and candidates so they can stay in power longer.

    I wonder if rescinding telework agreements has boosted Minnesota’s economy? I still don’t get that decision and I don’t think any amount of tweet bangers anout Trump is going to improve that reality.

          That’s what this dude was saying.

          You shouldn’t need a campaign to vote hard against Trump, he campaigned against himself his whole life.

          You want everyone to treat you like fox News treats their viewers, that’s the kind of pandering campaign you want, but for your issues.

          This is politics, this is for adults because it matters.

          Shove your ‘oh what a bad campaign’ bullshit up your ass, everyone should be expected to vote for sanity, blaming politicians for not pandering is literally the problem that gave us WWE politics in the first place.

            The campaign absolutely sucked. I voted. Both can be true.

            Harris nationally basically threw the election when she said she wouldn’t have done anything differently than Biden. People wanted change, and she offered none.

                That we did. And I’m pretty sure it’s not the kind of change the people who voted for Trump wanted. But they wanted change, and only one of the candidates offered that.

                Harris and rhe DNC fumbled the ball hard. It was their election to win since they had the incumbent advantage, popular support for Jan 6 enforcement, and tons of lawsuits against Trump. All she needed to do was present a tangible plan for what her administration would change. Inflation was coming down (but prices obviously weren’t), the “economy” was tenuous, rates were high, etc. People wanted to know what she’d do, and her answer of “nothing different than Biden did” didn’t instill confidence. So she lost swing voters and didn’t motivate her base to turn out.

                She lost the election because she fumbled the campaign. She was winning for most of it, and lost in the last month. She needed a rallying cry, and she exuded “more of the same.” People suffering don’t want more of the same.

      Lemmy is great in the sense that you can bock users, communities and even whole instances. If you want, you can even create your own instance and defederate from anybody you don’t like until you have your own tailor made echo chamber. I’m case you’re interested.

      Unfortunately, we have two Pro-Genocide parties in the United States and no allowed alternatives.

      You either throw your full, unequivocally support behind the better blood drenched imperialist atrocity machine or you must be implicitly endorsing the worse one.

            Cause letting Trump into office DEFINITELY stopped the genocide.

            Tanking the US economy and obliterating our relationships with Europe, Asia, and Latin America has definitely put a damper on things.

            Getting Japan and Korea on board with a China war is pretty much off the table, now. We’re not going to have bases in Europe to project our power into Africa or the Middle East. That makes reinforcing Israel increasingly difficult, which exposes them to retaliation and threatens their ability to genocide Arabs in and around the Suez.

            This could be the beginning of the end of America’s genocidal occupation of the region.

            To be fair, both major candidates had essentially the same position on Israel and Gaza. If you were a single issue voter on Israel/Palestine, they’re equivalent.

            So supporting either major candidate has the same level of “genocide support.”
