What has Trump ever done? Except raping journalists, getting pissed on in Moscow and stealing secret documents and trying to sell them?

Don’t forget getting CIA assets killed by the dozens and shitting on himself

Don’t forget him coming up with a brilliant solution to pandemy by injecting chlorine bleach.

He also fucked a bunch more of the country when he redirected that hurricane with a Sharpie.
He could’ve just let it run the planned course

Remind me again what the republicans have accomplished in the last 4 years?
Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 9 months ago
They got Biden to build their border wall and send money to israel.
almar_quigley@lemmy.world 9 months ago
And what exactly has that wall done if the rate of illegal border crossings is so high? Or is that dems fault as well? Talk about echo chamber…why don’t you get out of yours.

Thanks for showing your true thoughts, so I can tag you in Lemmy as a trump supporter and more easily see right through you in the future. I would suggest others do the same to easily identify these sycophants.

Surprising to see so many on lemmy not watch the video, or recognize that it is by Second Thought.
I watched this video earlier today and it didn’t contain any particularly new or insightful information for me, but that’s almost entirely because I’ve been somewhat politically active for a while, which I don’t think is strictly his target demographic at this point.
Second thought’s videos were very uncomfortable but informative when I was first learning about socialism.
Again, just surprising to me that they aren’t more popular in this online space.

Because it is propaganda shit
Promoting socialism is fine. “Promoting” socialism by kneecapping Democrats, airing “pro socialism” content which will have as its sole and only impact in the actual real world, to give aid and comfort to people who are actually trying to destroy socialism (like, very literally, in the sense of shooting socialists with real bullets), and cloaking in it this veneer of “oh yeah it makes perfect sense because the opponents of the socialism-shooters aren’t doing ENOUGH and so it makes total sense to focus energy on damaging them, instead of on, idk, promoting socialism and socialist outcomes,” is less fine.
Hope this helps explain the difference

I really feel like you replied without watching the video because none of that is from the video.
The video explains what a sacrificial villain is in the context of a two-party partisan legislator, expands on why this is necessary in modern politics, then encourages the viewers to continue to support more progressive Democrats so that the strategy is more difficult to pull off successfully without alienating large populations of voters.

He doesn’t research or source anything. It’s the laziest gift ever.
DaleGribble88@programming.dev 9 months ago
He calls out citations for claims in the video

Second thought is a scammer that used a gofundme to pilfer his fan base. Seems appropriate you would fall for his videos Linkerbaan

$150 billion in student loan forgiveness
40% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030
Income inequality going down for the first time in God knows how long, with working class wages rising faster than even pretty historic inflation
If you are invested in things like, I need you to not raise corporate taxes, or I need you not to send weapons to Ukraine, then I am sure the Democrats have been very disappointing yes. But there are a lot of people for whom that is not the viewpoint.

You’re supposed to watch a video before commenting on it
mozz@mbin.grits.dev 9 months ago
I have watched a couple of Second Thought videos before. I don’t think I need to augment the experience any further.
SquirtleHermit@lemmy.world 9 months ago
$150 billion out of $1.7 trillion…
A 40% reduction in emissions that we are no where near on track to meet.
Income inequality down for the first time since '07, largely due to the middle class wealth stagnating. The ultra wealthy increased their wealth the fastest of all groups.
I’m more invested in not sending weapons to Israel tbh. And this isn’t even picking apart the mass amount of issues both political parties align on or simply ignore.
I’m voting for Kamala. I’m super stoked that Biden dropped out. I believe Trump would be worse on all of these fronts, and I think Kamala has a better chance to win.
But a lot of people are still rightly disappointed in the Democrats, and to write us all off as Corporate shills and Tankies is alienating a group that you probably agree with on many levels.
