…and the American people are the citizens of Uvalde safe in their homes watching it live on their screens.

If we're being technical, it's actually a GNothing OS, where the G stands for GNothing.

You're well versed in the memes for a non user, I'm impressed.

You don't do that in America (if you want to win). You take an existing party and push it in your direction. That's how the party of Reagan is embracing tariffs.

Ask the whigs about it.

Way too good of an analogy in too many ways.

… the school shooter wasn’t voted class president by the students.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (4 children)

And Democrats aren't armed or in a position of authority to stop it.

I thought we were going to talk about 3rd parties once it's not critical to democracy.

When are we going to wise up and realize that people who vacillate between "I won't vote for genocide" and "why won't the Democrats save us!?" are a fucking opp designed to kneecap the left?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Exactly. Division got us here. Only unity will get us out.

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Unity centered around what? The party of the less bad? Of the horrible leadership? The party that only does one genocide? The not Trump party? The party of “we will not trash the economy”?

I could get behind that, but this federation has not been a democracy for a while. Not when you need more states won and several would require United Nations observers if they were countries. So, in some places it’s just a lost cause.

People need to be disabused of the notion this is a fair fight won by normal rules. New leadership and splintering is exactly what is needed.

Ah yes, unity. The unity of attacking third parties. Of suing candidates to remove them from the ballot. Of refusing to run a primary to learn the wishes of the party. What great unity. I’ll pass on the party of “nothing will fundamentally change” with your views of “unity” like that.

I agree we need to come together so the left stops losing. But the democrats do not agree with that, and will actively sabotage it as much as possible. And until that changes, we’re fucked. We need a party willing to adapt to the people on the left, not republicans.

If you want to not kneecapping the left, you could start by not slurring progressives as "a fucking opp."

A screenshot of a tweet of a screenshot of a tweet put on top of a photo of a concert (?) where the person adds nothing. Why do people do this lol

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 week ago

Yeah, pretty accurate. One cop tries to do something and gets dragged away by the rest

[–] PeteWheeler@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Fuck.....

The perfect analogy for the fucking US of A.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago

That's pretty much how I've known them both

The parents trying to get in are the progressives

[–] UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago

The assumption here is that Democrats are just cowards. That is the more flattering of two options, but the less likely one.

The other one is that they are actually quite okay with what is happening, because their masters are.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Kinda like how they went straight to blaming Mexicans and black people for losing the election.

Officers arrived three minutes after Ramos entered the school and approached rooms 111 and 112, but they retreated.

Massacre at room 111. Massacre at room 112. Officer called out, "Yell if you need help!" A girl in the adjoining classroom said, "Help." Ramos heard the girl, entered the classroom, and shot her.

Law enforcement approach his classroom from what sounded like the hallway three times, but they did not enter; during one of these occasions, he heard a student from the adjoining classroom 112 saying, "Officer, we're in here. We're in here." As law enforcement had already left, Reyes said Ramos "walked over there, and he shot again."

Reyes later heard law enforcement telling Ramos to come out of the classroom to talk, saying they did not want to hurt anyone. WTF? That's the smartest line you would come up with? That the police don't want to hurt anybody? What's next, police threaten to shoot at hostages if shooter don't give up?

[–] uis@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What's next, police threaten to shoot at hostages if shooter don't give up?

Let me tell you a story!

[–] bigFab@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Great story! I especially loved a US police trainer comments on the Beslan tragedy: 'if I have to kill 20 (7%) hostages to save 300, then that’s what I’ll do.', when in Beslan died 318 (25%) and injured 700 (60%) out of 1200.
