Sherman them all again.

Works the same on the federal level, too. Here is an oldie but goodie from 2013:

  • Spend EVERY day having a press announcement on it and bashing the GOP with the latgest bully pulpit on the planet
  • Expand and pack the court
  • Push a court case that it was their duty.
  • Push a case that it threatened national security based on issues it was holding up.
  • Move to just put someone in the seat regardless and let it get argued in the courts meanwhile the seat is filled.
  • withhold all federal funds to any state who's senator was blocking it
  • Any number of creative parliamentary maneuvers that let the GOP decide everything even when they're in the minority
  • BREAK ALL NORMS, just like the GOP did in stealing th pick. But Dems roll over and play victim. It's all they EVER do, even when they control Hoise, Senate and POTUS at the same time.

There's a ton of other shit too, but you get the point. Obama was quiet most days and played victim, bc the billionaires who owned him and who he bailed out of the financial crisis told him to ge a good boy and he did.

Upvoted for FACT.

Yep, we discussed that in the convo below. You're correct.

In my lifetime, a dem only ever once gave me something to vote FOR, and I actively campaigned for him-Obama. And the first thing he did was give up on universal care and then even on public option. But he's making millions by leveraging his presidency, so he's a good little capitalist.

And the banks still appreciate him vailing them out while ficking us all and all our municipalities, etc.

And they have helped over and over to disable democracy and reduce the ability of citizens to affect change over monied interests who buy Thomas his motor home and other "gifts" (spelled bribes). And Scalia, and the others...

But theyre not recycled much--YET.

Agree and excitedly look forward to growth in that market (or even having a market for it). They will eventually become a profitable recycling opportunity. Unless one of the other battery techs (tons of them) in development just completely supplanted them. Either way the impact should diminish over time. Main questions are how fast and long will they continue to be an environmental negative.

Rechargeable nickel–cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH), lithium-ion (Li-ion) and nickel–zinc (Ni-Zn), can also be recycled. Disposable alkaline batteries make up the vast majority of consumer battery use, but there is currently no cost-neutral recycling option.

EDIT: You can read further down how close some of these companies are to an actual recycling center. They're getting there!

After the upcoming Civil War. I'm not advocating for it, but I definitely think it's inevitable.

If Obama had fought for his seat, Roe would still be the law. Dems never ever fight. They cry about how they can't do anything. Even when they have the house, senate, and white house, they couldn't do anything. Watch the excuses that follow this comment.

Neither capitalist party will ever help because they're both avowed capitalists.

Vote dem, move right slowly. Vote GOP move right fast AF, with added racism, hatred, and Christo-fascist oppression as well.

But ultimately, NO capitalist party will ever fix anything in this shit two party system. Both parties get all their campaign donations from the same billionaires., and companies.

This type of shit causes civil wars.

 

I'm sure there's some twisted way that the MHGA alt-left kids can celebrate and justify the infant hostage of Gaza's government who has majority support of its residents.

 

100 delivery systems for war-crimes by Hamas removed from service, a victory against terrorism! Que the pro-terrorist, Hamas recruits, down vote circle-jerk!

 

Granted, he's still running things in Gaza, but it's good to recognize that the government in charge there ARE terrorists all the way up to the top.

 

Every day they get bolder and more dangerous. If we keep tolerating these terrorist recruits and radicalized extremists then soon we're going to be awash in violence.

MAGA storms the capitol, MHGA storms the white house. Same nuts, same radicalism, just different sides of political extremism!

 

Never tolerate the intolerant!

 

Because the alt-left MHGA recruits would disregard or ban this list on any of their echo chambers, I'll post it here for the intellectually curious. It is a biased source, but filled with starting points if you want to investigate, and filled with FACTS. You can research individual attacks accounted for here, which is a better list than can be found in most places, with more initial details for your research.

It's a rough resource for people peddling a false narrative of innocent, defenseless, oppressed Palestinians. But sometimes facts ARE rough.

THIS DOES NOT EXCUSE ISRAEL'S WAR CRIMES, and doesn't mean there's not a HUGE list of those either. The point is, those you will always find celebrated in the MHGA echo chambers, whereas this would get instantly removed by the Hamas in training.

 

These are who the alt-left MHGA kids align with and sympathize with as they're radicalized and indoctrinated. Be careful, tolerating it too much will lead to them becoming actual terrorists.

 

Starting in 1948, the Arab and Muslim world had stolen the land and exiled around 900,000 Jews.

The reason you NEVER heard this discussed at the same time as Palestinian land being stolen or right of return is exclusively the fact that the MHGA crowd has no principled argument. While they cry about the Palestinian Arabs they will never mention what happened to the Jews.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world

A REALLY fascinating aspect of this, is if you applied the same unique (and bullshit) UNRWA definition of refugee to these Jews, then there would be millions of them who these alt-left should be calling for their "right of return" across the arab and muslim world. Funny how that's NEVER happened.

 

Just a reminder that the MHGA (Make Hamas Great Again) alt-left radicals hate facts that don't play to their narratives:

https://africachinapresscentre.org/2023/10/13/5-times-in-the-past-palestine-rejected-offer-to-have-its-state-they-want-israel-out-of-existence/

https://besacenter.org/palestinian-rejectionism/

EVEN an 80% Palestinian Arab and 20% Palestinian Jew split wasn't acceptable. Let that simmer...

 

Attacking music festivals and other civilian targets to broadcast the slaughter apparently doesn't qualify as terrorism to this Hamas recruit.

If you're the type of person who gets banned for providing inconvenient facts with sources to Lemmy radicals, speaking truth to power, and denouncing terrorism, extremism, hate, and radicalism of which worldnews is a poster child--you're welcome here!

Post discussions about the most problematic groups, post news articles, reliable sources, research, requests for debate and discussion.

Only hate and intolerance will not be tolerated.
