Should we protect Lebanon from Israel?

Why isn't there an option to give these Muslim Americans what they actually want?

You realize that by demanding people shut up about genocide, you've actually incentivized users to talk about genocide, right?

She will have the same position on genocide as Biden

[-] newfie@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Kamala will be the same as Biden on practically every issue

Which overall, is fine.

But on this issue of genocide, is damning

I agree. But the question is just do we want to organize under the blue team or under the red team/MAGA team.

I agree those are bad options. And I agree with the concern that many libs will just check out and go back to brunch if Kamala wins.

So it depends if you think Trump would be so bad that he would remove the little that is left of the ability of the working class to organize. We would become similar to Hungary under Orban in terms of centralized power with a deferential judiciary. That seems like it would be worse than 4 more years of Biden+'s blue team nonsense

You can do all of that and still vote for the blue team.

We all need to organize and work to strengthen unions. We need to do that. So the choice is just do we want to do that under a blue team presidency or a red team/MAGA presidency

Blue team seems much more currently amenable to unionization. So that seems like it would be the superior conditions for us to organize under.

Wristwatches don't have the negative psychologically addictive and anxiety-producing effects of smartphones

Most people under 50 probably barely have any analog clocks around.

Every home/apt of every under 40 year old person I have ever been in has had at least one analog clock. And most have had several.

Also, grandfather clocks are a thing. And they're gorgeous.

Extremely anti-social to act like digital clocks are better - similar to acting like social media and Facetime calls are in any way superior to irl face-to-face interaction - as our current loneliness epidemic demonstrates

This guy screams I am a white cuck

Like he stands outside your window and does this?

So if the above person was familiar with Whitmer then I should presume that most people also are?

Your points aren't making sense. Anecdotal evidence gathered from a non-American child's comments on a random post on a fringe STEM-lord website is not representative of anything.

[-] newfie@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

I am serious that anecdotal evidence is not statistically significant and that, therefore, one random child is not representative of anything
