9. No posting links to Twitter/X or Meta owned properties
Social Media products such as Twitter/X and Meta Properties (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Threads) are known low quality information sources - they actively spread misinformation without sufficient moderation, hate speech. These platforms each have billionaire owners working actively to eliminate labor protections through direct action, lobbying, performative large scale layoffs and attacks on institutions that enforce labor law.

Nice six paragraph comment. I skimmed it. Looks like none of it addresses the fact that a Trump presidency is in the process of killing millions of innocent people. I guess you just don't think the lives of minorities are important.
Voting between the democratic party and far right maga is like choosing wether you want to amputate your fingers or your whole arm. Its still an amputation.
The Democratic party by the measures and standards of the rest of the developed world is a center right wing party. Stop trying to convince the rest of us that voting for the neo liberal agenda is a win for society. Its only a win for wealthy people so they can virtue signal and placate people like you who really don't give a fuck about implementing actual real change.
Do you think Palestinians in gaza see the 4 years of biden as a net positive for them? What planet do you all live on? Oh i know the one where the main stream media has any credible journalistic integrity and isnt an obvious propaganda machine for wall street military and prison industry profiteers.
If the democratic party was really so virtuous and ready to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to stop trump, then they would have ran bernie sanders In 2016 and 2020 as the dem nominee. we would have just come off of 2 terms of the best president since FDR. But the dnc showed us that it preferred the prospect of a Trump administration over any prospective administration that veered left of their centrist status quo bullshit. Saying otherwise means you have your head in the sand or more likely you are arguing in bad faith.
Four more paragraphs and you still don't care how many Gazans die.
And wow you can count
But you dont have the brain to see that this is the result of the DNC who showed plain and simple they preferred a Trump administration over any administration that veered left from their status quo neo liberal platform and worked harder than they did securing votes to sabotage sanders 2 back to back election cycles
Neither did biden kamala or any other zionist war mongering regime taking donations from AIPAC & CUFI and puppeted by defense contractors.🥴🤡
Nice strawman though
Yeah, I'm saying you're not actively and effectively genocidal like Donald Trump, you're just dumb and complicit, like Joe Biden.

All you neo libs are so entirely removed from reality. You would let dnc leadership shoot you in the foot and blame anyone besides the person(s) who pulled the trigger.
You think the DNC leadership chooses the president? I thought it was the voters who choose the president. The voters who "pulled the trigger". That's why I'm saying you're complicit. Because you pulled the trigger, and I don't think you voted for Harris, given how little you care for Palestinian lives.
Dnc leadership sabotaged sanders. In some iowa districts they declared clinton the caucus winner even though sanders supporters outnumbered clinton supporters 2 to 1.
The idea that democracy is still functioning and votes are being fairly counted in the day and age of technocracy is just super delulu. There are 14 traits of fascism and 13 of 14 are blatantly evident to varying degrees regardless of which party sits in the white house. The 14th is the only one we can say is plausibly deniable and it is fraudulent elections.
In Germany electronic voting was deemed unconstitutional by their version of the supreme court because with electronic voting it is impossible to differentiate between legitimate and fraudulent results for anyone without expert training in programing and IT.
But go ahead and keep believing that our elections have integrity while living in a society where money controls everything, where supreme court justices can take bribes and say they are just gifts, trust me bro. Where 6 major corporations all circularly owned by black rock, state street and vanguard own 90% of the available media. Y’all are delusional. If there was legitimate proof that our election process has been rigged since the 80’s you all would still keep on the delulu idea that ballot box initiated progress was still possible.
At what point will Neo liberals admit they were wrong and that revolution is the only option considering things will only get worse from here and the party you all were hoping to affect change is obviously compromised by corporate money? Because it sounds like never. Sounds like you are so enamored with the concept of order and bureaucracy that you wont allow any other avenues for change to be considered.
guy blaming regular people for not supporting a controlled oposition party calls Someone calling out the obvious issues with a broken right leaning centrist billionaire owned party cos playing as left wing dumb and complicit, that's really rich.
The people who are dumb and complicit are those actively making excuses for a political institution that obviosuly wont do what’s necessary to stop fascism and actively legislates for it.
You know whats extremely harmful to minorities and LGBTQ people? Drug prohibition. Which has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to reduce the demand and supply of narcotics. All it does is allow bigoted ideals to permeate militarized police forces while increasing the black market value of narcotics and funneling poor marginalized people into profit extraction centers called prisons which corporations fatten themselves upon using slave labor. Crickets on that issue. We can directly blame prohibition and the dea for fentanyl analogues proliferating the narcotic supply. Since they are more potent by logarithmic factors it mitigates risk to smuggle these instead of the traditional opium poppy products. So the war on drugs is directly to blame for the evolution of the black market supply to fentanyl analogues.But go ahead and virtue signal about the number of Palestinians that would be magically saved from death with a Harris walz administration. What a joke.
There are 3 more paragraphs to help get it through your skull how clueless you are. Just another neo liberal cosplaying as someone with left leaning sentiments. 🥴🤡
