I agree, we must at all costs keep doing what we’ve always done. How else are are we ever going to turn this ship around?

politics @lemmy.world•This Democratic Nominee for Governor Refuses to Condemn Data CentersEnglish
1·1 month agoHis assertions were narrowly phrased to make it clear that he’d never fight a war over anything worth fighting over
No they weren’t. He quite explicitly promised “no new wars”. Turns out you can just lie on the campaign trail.
And of course, you and me, we’re politically well versed. When someone asks us the connection between the JCPOA and the number 38, we know. We know about Trump’s illegal assault on North Korea, as well as Biden bombing Yemen. But most folks aren’t as well read and politically in the know as you are. Some are working two jobs, and just do not have the time to read up on all this. When they see Harris saying “I will ensure America has the most lethal fighting force in the world”, and Trump saying “no new wars”, all they see is one person being in favor of war and another being against it. Sure, they’re a bit under educated (for good reason), but based on the knowledge they have, if they were anti war, it’d be moronic not to vote for Trump.
And that’s exactly the problem we’re seeing here. It’s democrats flushing easy political wins down the fucking toilet because they can’t help themselves from making wildly unpopular statements. Harris with war, Crowley with data centers. Either they love losing, or these are their actual policy positions. You can decide for yourself which you think is more likely.

153·2 months agoIt’s like Trump successfully positioning himself as the peace candidate because Harris couldn’t bring herself to condemn a genocide, and couldn’t help herself from saying things like “I will ensure America has the most lethal fighting force in the world” at the DNC. Or like when Trump managed to position himself as the peace candidate because his opponent was the butcher of Libya who couldn’t bring herself to condemn the illegal invasion of Iraq she voted for.

I believe what we’re seeing here is called “getting what you vote for”. Nicely done, Wisconsin!

politics @lemmy.world•Hakeem Jeffries says Medicare for all is not legislation he currently supports
54·2 months agoJust like all the other democrats, this man is not a real democrat. A true democrat supports universal healthcare. And given that someday, in the future, a true democrat may pop into existence, the only rational choice is to vote blue, regardless of what the person on the ballot believes and whether you agree with them or not. Do your part.
I support Hakeem Jeffries. Because sure, he may not advocate for anything thay improves my material conditions, but he may at some point in the future have a change of heart. And have you seen the other guy?

How’s that working out for you?
