Tbh, what really made me make this post was just the thought of those little girls getting instantly killed by tomahawk missles completely unprovoked, funded by my tax dollars from a president who hates people like me anyways.

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong on any of this.

I just found out you can downvote by sliding to the right on a comment. I’m still figuring out Lemmy
- Comment on For a while Microsoft was the King of PC stuff. How come they didn't just cozy up to the PC but had to do the XBOX and pretty much lose their ass with all the cash grabs? 9 months ago:
Consoles were by far still king in the 2000s when the OG Xbox released.
And Microsoft probably likes being able to control its own ecosystem and make players - play by their rules.
They tried that with forcing an online subscription for PC with Xbox Live, and PC gamers simply didn’t play Halo then. You can’t force PC Players into greed, they have too many options.

There’s really no economic interest for anyone other than South Korea in this situation

Great clarification. Do you think lifting sanctions and creating Pro-NK surpluses would help? Would Kim even do that?

Those pesky poors! Always getting in the way of some good imperialism 😤

I never thought about it like that
- Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea? 1 year ago:
I don’t disagree, the US definitely are the bad guys today on the global stage. But just hearing and seeing the stories from North Korea breaks my heart. Has the NATO or any western country tried some sort of diplomatic deal with Kim for better living conditions for his people?

- Comment on So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like? 1 year ago:
I understand that, and I agree. We do need Dems in Congress that will always push for progressive legislation and fight back against conservative nonsense. The issue is, there’s a vast amount of people in this country that want to do the opposite, and in most cases, we’re outnumbered in that regard. You have to VOTE, we have to WIN! Even a moderate Democrat can be pushed towards progressive reform. A conservative Republican will never.
Biden’s BBB was 2 votes away from becoming a reality, unfortunately, it failed. But 10 years prior to that in 2011, it might’ve been 6-9 votes away. WERE MAKING PROGRESS. But everytime republicans gain control, our progress is put on hold or reversed. We can’t allow them to keep winnning.

You guys are so delusional. You could replace every sitting Dem in congress right now with your hand picked candidates, and literally NOTHING would be different. How many times does this need to be said, YOU NEED 60 VOTES IN THE SENATE! Without 60 votes, you’re not getting transformative change. You can thank your red state voters for that.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
That’s a lot of work when we could just get 60 senators to stop being pricks

A function economy 😂. Jk
But being realistic to your answer, it’s possible to be done, but everyone involved would have to be in on it, assuming you wanna get away with it. The US has extremely strict and aware water safety protocols. It would take just 1 whistleblower to takedown this operation.

I’m disagreeing. Even though Clinton was the last president to decrease the debt when he left office.
But as a liberal, I’m not worried about the National Debt if they’d just cut military spending, which is like saying you wanna kill a baby now, since 9/11.
We need forgiveness from China, not tariffs.

Bill Clinton’s success was the beginning of the end of bipartisanship in Federal politics. He made the economy as strong as it had been since the 50s and was the last president to leave office with less national debt. He wouldn’t have been able to do so without Republicans voting for his policies.
GOP strategist saw this, and pretty much since have went out of their way to block any potential progress from a Democratic president to keep them closer to unpopularity.
Obama was the first Dem to be a victim of this. But that guy could negotiate his ass off and was able to bounce back from the 08 recession rather quickly and ended his term with a positive economy.
Biden was too damn old to fight back or compromise, and didn’t have nearly as many votes as Obama to ignore the GOP with his reconciliation bill.
If more people online actually knew about civics and the inner working of political strategies, they’d realize just how much progress the GOP has blocked within the last 30 years.

Yeah social media has been a gift and curse. Not the internet as a whole. People having the ability to find more critical thinking political discussion online is great.
Only problem is, the right online is like FOX News on steroids.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
The southern strategy yeah. But post Reagan, the Republican Party had been trying to be more inclusive. Bush made it a point to have more diversity in his cabinet. Hell after the 2012 election, FOX News was even saying “Maybe America Dosent Care About Immigration, we need to pivot”.
We made so much social progress during the Obama years man. Then trump came in and brought out the worst in our country.

Republicans literally add to the debt everytime they’re elected.
