Downvoted for US politics. And this isn’t agedlikemilk material, this is agedlikewine. She was absolutely right.
Fuck the pedo voters, third party voters, and non-voters.
Some redhat chud gonna pedant that he’s sending the gazpacho not the army
Shame a lot of them just refuse/are too scared to ever recognize it. The rest of us suffer for it.
I’ll make sure to let them feel at least a little bit of what they have subjected me to from their vote every chance I get
Easier to trick someone than convince them they’ve been tricked.
It’s true! Trump hasn’t sent the army after anyone! Just ICE, CBP, and the National Guard!
don’t forget the Marines in Los Angeles
the National Guard is part of the army
Trump thinks ICE is just cold army.
PolitiFact | Trump said that Gov. Tim Walz didn’t call in the National Guard in 2020. Walz’s order shows he did.
Tim Walz signed an executive order May 28, 2020, calling up the Minnesota National Guard to respond to riots
oh no, anyway
torn between upvoting because funny and downvoting because politics meme outside of [email protected]
over there:
“where meme?”here:
no ‘no politics’ rule.I was torn first.
hahah the struggle is real :)
we need a “political microblogging meme” community
Yeah but she loved the genoside, that’s why we have to have utter incompetent apocalypse every goddamned day for three more years.
Instead we resumed the sale of 2000 pound bombs to Israel and found some new countries to bomb. That and the population of Gaza is still dying just after the election the bots seemed to stop caring.
Purists couldn’t vote for the lesser of two evils. The choice was: vote for
genocideor vote forgenocide+even more horrible shit. Somehowgenocide+even more horrible shitseemed more appealing.There was this whole argument that vote for
genocideor vote forgenocide+even more horrible shitwas going to turn people off from voting. We now know that definitely happened. Letting that choice run was a pretty guaranteed losing strategy. Anyone with knowledge of American electoral politics knows voter turnoff = Democratic Loss, Republican Victory.Please be satire
Little too real for ya eh?
Just bafflingly ignorant and lowkey evil
Cool. Thanks for letting me know you voted third party or not at all
Yeah I voted PSL instead of voting for fascism or fascism-lite
Congrats. There’s blood on your hands
You’re responsible for the shit that’s going on in USA. Keep being a purist moron.
and also still have the same genocide happening, plus even more acts of war to boot
I’d argue a worse genocide.
Dems were stuck on “but but Israel is an ally” and tried to gently suggest that they stop. But Biden did take some action. The US even built a port to send in aid. Now obviously we had the power to stop sending Israel money and supporting them. That’s where they failed.
Trump however just said good work and keep it up. He’s encouraged Israel to go faster and joked about how great the strip will be once it’s freely developed real estate.
So yeah, one of these is clearly a worse option
for three more years.
Oh, my sweet summer child
Why did she spend so much time courting Republicans? It’s a mystery
Was it was the billion dollars she “raised” in a few months? Trump raised about 900 million in four years, she raised a billion in months. Unprecedented.
Standard US political wisdom reveals that neither D (30%) or Rs (30%) can win an election without Independent voters (40% of voters). So, you need to have an independent issue or three to get enough votes to win.
Kamala only spent a few months, and she spent a lot of it on Republicans (various articles about this before election, Politico, Hill). The math doesn’t work, that’s not how you win elections. That’s not how anyone wins elections. It would have been unprecedented for her to win, also.
I think she took a knee, if you can come up with another reason I would love to hear it, for real. This is very disturbing to me and I wish I had never come to this conclusion, but can think of no other reason.
Why did she spend so much time courting Republicans? It’s a mystery
Not a mystery. That’s what the overpriced consultants the DNC hired told them to do. They said to stop using the slogan never back and told Tim Walz to stop calling Trump and Vance weird.
Which is weird in and of itself because that was working
Exactly. But, you don’t get paid to say, keep doing what you’re doing.
That’s the biggest problems with these agencies.
Dems should be courting the “non voters”. They are 30% of the electorate, and you’re not going to change a Trump supporter’s mind.
She not only took a knee, she did it before election night was even over.
Did someone print this out and leave it in the sun before linking it here?
The pixels are how you tell it’s aged of course
Kamala: “If you don’t vote for me, Trump will send in the military.”
Also Kamala: “I will ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world.”
In his 2022 National Defense Strategy, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin laid out five key traits of America’s “future force.” The first among them: “Lethal.”
…
In 2017, then-Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said his “Modernization Priorities for the United States Army” had “one simple focus: make Soldiers and units more lethal.”
…
In discussing the 2024 Pentagon budget request, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen H. Hicks said the funding would deliver “combat-credible joint forces that are the most lethal, resilient, survivable, agile and responsive in the world.”
Well… y’all got what you voted for, I guess.
Funding the military to fight outside the US is literally the same thing as using the military to round of civilians!
Great contribution to the discussion.
The imperial boomerang is the concept that repressive techniques to control colonial territories by governments will eventually deploy those same techniques domestically against their own citizens. This concept originates with Aimé Césaire in his 1950 work Discourse on Colonialism, where it is called the terrific boomerang to explain the origins of European fascism in the first half of the 20th century. Hannah Arendt agreed with this usage, calling it the boomerang effect in The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951).
Modernizing the military to be more lethal and potentially more efficient isn’t the same as starting a civil war sending the military into American cities.
