The US is indeed a mediocre democracy because of the corruptIon of the system that money has enabled.

There are too many business loopholes and carve-outs to realise a fair society.

I’m not sure. Perhaps too driven by single-issue foreign policy to understand the wonder ramifications of potentially allowing Trump to win.

The thing they need to understand is that right now a vote for Biden is not a mandate for HIM or necessarily all of the policies that he is forced to carry out (and I mean forced by both GOP shenanigans (immigration stuff) and global strategic positions (Israel)) its a vote to stop the US being turned (even further) into a right wing shithole.

If you spend five seconds ‘poring over it’ you’ll also be able to spot ‘unmistakable signs’ of ‘alien civilisations’ with your butt-nekked eyebawllz.

I have, in younger years, not been particularly informed about politics and was glib in saying things like ‘they’re all the same” etc. but I was at least lucky to have a family background with enough smarts to never have given the time of day to a piece of shit like Trump.

To be charitable, there are unimaginably VAST numbers of people who are not actually idiots, but lack any point of intelligent reference in their family or community with which to leverage any thinking outside of the purposely-regressive framework set up by the GOP types; the RW media, the business grifters, the churches, the impassioned-but-warped-and-misguided funders, the downright evil. They are all in that mix.

Ever since he was the front runner in 2016 I’ve become determinedly interested in politics and the courts and become loquacious in attempting to describe their importance to people who claim the disinterest I used to.

Help spread the word to people you know need the help to understand the importance of it!

Yes politicians can be self-serving, but GENERALLY on the Left, particularly the progressive Left, politicians are not there to line their own pockets. This absolutely cannot be said for the Rightwing.

WTF is ‘sigma’ in this context?

[-] jobby@lemmy.today 5 points 8 months ago

I think just a big wood chipper followed by a mobile reggae sound system bumping up the highway slowly, passing out food, medical supplies and weed to the inhabitants as they go past. Followed an hour later by ANOTHER sound system and several clearly branded flatbed trucks, with happy smiling people throwing candy and chocolate off the back to the re-assembled crowd.

Ain’t nobody stopping that parade.

So I’ve been bombarded on one post by hexbears saying that Navalny was a straight-up fascist who called for Muslim genocide.

What’s the truth about him?

I’ll never buy a first one.

No no no! It’s “spy” misspelled to hide it, and -ops from Octopus, because Putin and the spyze are like the testicles, wriggling around.
