Great news, we need any win we can get.
But Florida lost to the republicans, by a decent margin. We can chock it off as just being Florida, but it’s still telling. Given everything that’s happening, people are still voting republican. Don’t get complacent, I guess.
BUTTERY MALES!!!
Yowza. After the ADL defended musks blatant and obvious nazi salutes, how are they gonna sugar coat this?
Yes. The entire maga cult.
They’d believe trump if he put a bowl of festering shit in front of them, and told 'em it was chocolate pudding.
Tim Walz is awesome. I’m liking him more and more as time passes.
The entire planet and all humans would be better off without American conservatives. Full stop.
Likewise, I HATE this piece of shit mother fucker.
But, let’s hope for our sakes some of the idiots listen to him.
Punish the poor for being poor, and charge them even more.
Yeah this is definitely what all these republican christians think jesus would have wanted. Psychopaths.
They’re digging down under the barrel straight into raw sewage.
I’m very upset that it says “narrrowly” and “by less than 500 votes”.
We need to have the names of every doge psycho working under musk. Why are they allowed to be private/anonymous? Why isn’t anybody talking about it?
People need to upvote this for visibility, not disagreement. Seems like most of us agree, fuck no.
People need to see what BS is coming.
But then again I’m just assuming that’s how lemmy works and if we downvote it will get lost.
Isn’t this some real nazi fascist like tactics? Are they just testing the waters?
If they could actually get the few progressives we have in prison on BS charges, I think they would. And their supporters would cheer.
LGBT, woke, and immigrant issues are amplified by those in power to get more votes on the right, and distract from the most important issues: oligarchy and wealthy elites who are exploiting the poor and working class.
This doesn’t mean these issues aren’t important, they are. They’re just used to distract from what’s more important, and energize bigots who end up supporting the right.
Objective fact.
Not garbage, and not opinion. Objective fact.
It’s people like you why bigots are winning and trump got elected.
Because of you, you’re extraordinary stupidity, we are sliding into fascism. If you don’t pull your head out of your ass, we’re doomed.
Then we will lose.
The immigrant and LGBT stuff just gets bigots more energized to vote and fight. That is their tactic and they’re winning.
The conservatives are gaining power and enacting policies to entrench power. Destruction of education means less educated, therefore more ignorance and bigotry. Easy to manipulate.
Progressives need to win first, get power, then enact policy changes. Protections and support for minorities only comes when we have the power to enact such policies.
Keep amplifying the LGBT and immigrant stuff, bigots will keep voting for the cons. They’re winning.
Maybe, if we amplify how they’re being ripped off and manipulated by billionaires, we might gain some non-zero support.
What I would give for some actual leftists who are tough.
We need a younger bernie who is more aggressive. Shut the fuck up about woke and LGBT stuff. Speak only about how billionaires and corporations and wall street are exploiting the poor and working class.
Tax the billionaires. Support the Working class. Accountability for the rich. No more of this laws are only for the poor nonsense.
Free Healthcare. Free college/university. Free meals for kids in schools. Fund our fucking public schools. Make the rich pay for it or they can get the fuck out.
They want a large mass of imbeciles because they’re easy to control, and do the worst jobs for the lowest pay.
Rich people are rich, and therefore can afford the better private education.
Yep I understand and totally agree. The details matter.
But ya know, it’s just dissapointing. Having dems actually win in those districts would have been huge. But it’s not surprising.
