Ohhh I thought you were accusing me of being a capitalist because you misinterpreted me as playing the “both sides” argument (this is why i was confused, but i do see people saying this kind of shit online).

I see it now, carry on!

Apparently a lot of people don’t mind being oppressed as long as the oppressors have decorum

Yes exactly!!

I understand the frustration around those saying the parties are the same, I really do, because in the short term, the chaos of the Trump administration would not be happening if Kamala were to get in, but I’m personally extremely frustrated by people putting the dems/kamala on a pedestal as if they were going to do anything to actually help people.

It’s an oligarchy through and through. Kamala wouldve prevented a lot of the mass deportation, but she wouldn’t have prevented the wars across the world, and she would’ve done very little to close the wealth gap between rich and poor.

The only thing that’ll cause real change is for the working class to finally realize that the billionaires are our real enemy and there are a lot more of us than there are of them.

To be fair, there are plenty of billionaires backing the dems too, they’re just a bit more subtle about their intentions, but they are not pioneers of the working class.

Of course the dems getting in in 2024 mightve slowed the roll of fascism, but it would’ve just delayed it rather than solved any of the underlying issues. With the exception of some truly progressive members of the party, the dems are basically just there to uphold the status quo.

I think that’s just more the nature of adaptations. Dune is an incredibly difficult story to adapt, and his version is the best adaptation that currently exists. It’s also subjective and your opinion is hardly the consensus.

I’m sick of this rhetoric of fighting for Palestine = antisemitism. Palestinians are semites, and jews aren’t all zionists.

I’m concerned that these rich zionists are increasing actual antisemitism in the west by pushing the connection between Jewish people and the state of Israel. Fuck all of that.

Exactly

Piracy always prevails

Why can’t resistance include slashing random ICE’s tires?

Destroying property, as long as it’s not somebody’s home, is not violence in my opinion. Government vehicle? Fucking go for it.

Yeah hun like that’ll work once the citizens realize that organization and civil disobedience get you shaking in your boots

Oki dokes! :)

Agreed.

You asked what the other problems with them were, not whether there was a good presidential candidate, i was answering your question

Clinton is a fuckin capitalist and Harris is a fucking neoliberal. Neither of them actually care about anything more than upholding the status quo. They are not working class or even for the working class.

This all being said, status quo is far better than fascism, but we can do better.

Basically, just like someone being a woman wouldn’t make them a bad president, it would also not make them a good one. Having good policies makes you a good president.

A friend of my husband’s is a Cody and teaches at their old school now!

Could one not say “witches work in mysterious ways”?

Exactly

I don’t know if this is really censorship in that way. Like yeah don’t hide the genocide, hide the denial, because it doesn’t deserve a platform. Holocaust denial has no basis in reality, especially considering it’s one of the most well documented genocides of all time.

Don’t censor history, teach the children about all the bad shit humans have done.
