Hey, if you voted for this would you please eat some shit?
The GOP is the Great Filter. Their backwards ideology must be eradicated or we don’t get starfaring civilization status.
Republicans “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media” are somehow proud of gutting CPB, which helped fund
“biased”media such as:- Sesame Street
- Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood
- Arthur
- American Experience
- Frontline
- American Masters
- PBS NewsHour
- Washington Week
- Great Performances
- Masterpiece theator
- and programming for THOUSANDS of other local and regional media
Quoth the maligned, “Nevermore.”
Sesame Street had a bit making fun of Trump a long while back, and even worse these programs are educational. You know damned well they are proud of it.
They also are multiracial and also have a long history of having LGBTQ guests. Stuff the ® love to hate.
Oh my god, you mentioned LGBTQ. Stop trying to make me gay!
At this point America and North Korea are like two sides of the same coin.
But the goal is to make it to the same side of the same coin.
This is a tragedy
Imagine how much worse things are going to get when Americans are even more stupid than they already are.
Damn this is just terrible. 3 years left to go of this foolishness.
Oh my sweet summer child… You think they’re going to give up power at this point? That is not what fascists do.
There’s only one solution to fascists, and it can happen naturally after 50+ years, or the 1940’s method.
We have nukes if we build concentration camps in America those interred shall never be freed by liberating forces
Can we fast forward to the bunker part?
I still have a small amount of hope people are going to put their foots up his ass at some point. Only so far people can be pushed.
Nah, we’ll all be dead before this bullshit is sorted.
3 yearsThe rest of your life left to go of this foolishness.
This is hell and we’re only at about level 2 or 3.
But Harris had an annoying laugh, I’m glad I didn’t bother to vote. (/s)
Do you condemn the genocide that Israel is committing in Gaza?
Yep. And I also voted for Harris, because I’m not a fucking idiot.
I didn’t ask you, I asked the other guy who is unwilling to say the same thing you just said.
I certainly do. I condemn all genocides. And I hate all violence. Harris wasn’t any where strong enough against Israel, but if she had been she would have probably lost even more of the vote. Regardless, she was way better than trump even on that one issue - let alone pretty much every other issue. And now we’re stuck with trump, probably the end of democracy in the U.S. and generational damage being done to the U.S. and the world. All because of moronic idiots like you.
Good thing you saved Gaza by not voting!
Who says I didn’t vote? You idiots just love to argue against piles of straw and feel like you’re accomplishing great things.
It’s so nauseating how you twist the actual grievances people had with Harris and pretend they are shallow meaningless complaints about her “annoying” laugh.
Dismissing valid criticism that she and her supporters dismissed and didn’t listen to us validates that criticism, for what it’s worth.
Wow, cool, a felon rapist pedophile insurrectionist is now our president. He’s crashing our economy, violating our Constitutional rights, demonizing all those on the left of the spectrum, filling the ranks of government and the military with loyalists, ending all our allegiances, invading other countries, and threatening to invade more.
I don’t give a FLYING FUCK about people’s grievances over Harris. Or Biden.
They can take those grievances and shove them up their pathetic assholes.
Do your critiques of her matter in the face of outright fascism? She was the non-fascist option. Now we’re stuck with a dictator for who knows how long. But y’all really taught those congressional dem’s a lesson! That’ll surely make all of our lives better!
It’s so nauseating how people like you who claim to be progressive and intelligent still failed to do everything you could to stop trump. Now we’re fucked. The world is fucked. And it’s your fault. Of course there were valid criticisms of Harris, but once it was her or trump you fucked us all over my not supporting her 100%. And now democracy is likely over in the U.S. for the foreseeable future. The U.S. billionaires have fully taken over. The U.S. is an unabashed murderous bully in the world. It’s game over, and it’s your fault.
Personally I chose not to vote for her for being in support of her fascist border bill oh and the genocide. But ya keep saying this kind of inane bullshit if it helps you cope.
Edit: you gotta love when genocidal liberals just decide to offer up their worst takes on a platter
Yeah, and were much better off because of your actions.
The whole world will be better off when the American empire collapses, our clear conscience over your genocidal comfort any day.
our clear conscience over your genocidal comfort any day.
Spoken like a true dipshit loser.
“Herp derp, I actually hope my nation collapses so I don’t have to grow a brain and stop being a single issue voter and put my grievances to the side in order to prevent a nation from collapsing and millions of innocent people from suffering under an authoritarian dumbfuck who violates our Constitutional rights. My clear conscience is worth more than other people’s lives.”
You are a world class stupid fuck. Go fuck yourself, scumfuck.
Not sure how you have a clear conscience when you enabled a fascist.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
I reject your assertion, but I’ll humor you.
The whole world will be better off
That’s how. Net positive for the world.
You wanted a net positive for you and yours when you declared genocide is not a red line. I want a net positive for all humanity, and humanity will move past the dead American empire.
I reject your assertion
I reject your dumbfuckery.
Net positive for the world.
Yeah kiddo, a nation whose economy is integral to global welfare, with military installations all over the globe, coming under the control of an authoritarian regime, is a net positive for the world.
How the absolute fuck did you become this stupid?
You sound like some dumbfuck edgelord preteen who just found out politics exists.
You can reject my assertion all you want.
It doesn’t change reality. You enable fascists.
Whatever else you have to say is effectively useless because you are in effect a fascist yourself for enabling one.
Congrats, you’ve played yourself.
You stupid fucking idiot.
Preach brother. These liberals love claiming to be pro freedom as long as they command the boot of empire.
Always blaming the voters never actually holding your electeds to any sort of standard. If you voted for someone supporting genocide I kindly discard your opinion thanks :)

WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK ELECTED THEM!?!?!?!?!

Sorry, I don’t speak “Dumbfuck Single Issue Voter”. Could you repeat that again in English?
Also wild that my issue is GENOCIDE. Like just tell me you like murdering brown people and move on dude. Lmao
But trump is way WORSE on the genocide issue. Can you be more moronic?
Can you point me to policy that makes you believe he’s worse? Biden started the genocide and defended it vehemently. Kamala Harris lied about them working on a peace deal for 2 years. Why am I supposed to believe she would be better when all indicators suggests she is just as pro Israel as Trump?
Why do you blame voters for not voting for a dogshit candidate and not the dogshit candidates? Why not blame the Democratic party and its refusal to allow an actual primary to allow a person who actually represents the will of the people?
What a laughably childish line of reasoning you have here. How does voting for more genocide and war and deregulation make your life any better? How does supporting that system uncritically help you?
It doesn’t. Go read some books and educate yourself just a little bit before contributing such useless pablum next time.
This is the stupidity that brought Trump to power. You are responsible for everything he does as president. Congratulations.
Sorry I have a shred of morality to stand on and am not happy just signing off on genocide.
How you look at our political system and how utterly broken it is devoid of any substantive connection to the will of the people and blame ME speaks to both the level of depravity and patent refusal to grapple with the material realities of our world that liberalism is unfit to deal with.
How you look at two candidates who promise endless war and destruction with no plan to make the lives of those suffering at home better and then blame me for saying both are disgusting and will lead to many of the same results baffles me.
If you think Kamala Harris would have been different on Gaza you are braindead. If you think she would have been less gungho for deportation (Biden increased ICE a fuck load because he likes deporting people so much and remember Kamala Harris was just more Biden based on her entire campaign) you are braindead. If you think we wouldn’t have bombed Iran or attacked Venezuela in some way you are braindead.
The fact of the matter is Kamala Harris had an easy path to victory if she only actually catered her messaging to people who are suffering in this country. Instead of leaning into incredibly popular progessive policy she decided (as dems always do) to go to the center to peal off people from the right because God forbid we try the policies that work anywhere else in the world.
The audacity of bloodthirsty liberals looking down on others with a backbone. Here is a line that I’m sure will make your little brain explode. Trump is president in no small part because of how awful Obama was as a president.
Sorry I have a shred of morality
Well that’s good, because you’ve got a below room temperature IQ. So hold on tight to that shred of morality. I’m sure it’s the only shred you have left after helping to empower fascists.
Why are all the dumbest motherfuckers on Lemmy from .ml? Go back to your pathetic circlejerk and leave the thinking to people with brains.
Yeah because y’all liberals are doin a bang up job. What a joke.
You could just tell me you like seeing Muslims get murdered rather trying to make it seem like anything else.
If you’ll vote for genocide you’ll vote for anything. Sorry I’ve actually educated myself and have a shred of humanity still lol
Also as usual y’all got no smoke other than name calling. Typical small brained liberal take tbh.
Yeah, you’re an idiot; you’ve already made that clear. You can want more progressive leadership - and I agree with that, but given the choice, you supported trump and the speed run to fascism, insane global bullying, corruption and support of pedophiles. That’s on you and now we’re fucked.
How am I an idiot? Can you make coherent points as to why things would he so different under Kamala?
Trump is a symptom of the apathy of the likes of you. You don’t think people outside the US are human.
Wtf u talking about?
Liberals like this can’t be reasoned with they are stuck in their own little bubble thinking if only they vote harder they can get that change they want. They are stuck fighting for their meaningless existence as an independent actor free of the shackles of others to the detriment of the collective action they desperately need but view with such disdain.
Removed by mod
And somehow, you’ve convinced yourself that doing nothing will change things for the better.
What a crock of shit lmao
Congrats, you’re a fucking idiot and now a felon rapist pedophile insurrectionist is your president and he’s currently crashing your economy, violating your Constitutional rights, filling the ranks of government and the military with loyalists, ending allegiances, invading other countries, and threatening to invade more.
P.S. You’re a fucking moron single issue dipshit voter. Go back to school. And fuck yourself.
Its funny to me that you think we weren’t doing all of these things under the Dems. Like actually hilarious to me. Biden presided over a fuckin genocide man. US foreign policy is uniparty my friend - Kamala and Trump ran on the exact same platform in that regard.
Because Kamala wanted less taxes for the rich, more war with Iran, more genocide, more restrictions on rights (immigration is a big one).
I know you think Muslims aren’t people (it’s the only way you could possibly hold this position) so respectfully why the fuck do I care what a souless husk such as yourself says?
Kamala did not want to win or she would have actually run the campaign everyone was begging her to run to actually win.
You effectively supported trump who ramped up support for the genocide. Seems like it’s you who wants brown people dead. It was Trump that actually attacked Iran and fucked over the nuclear deal. Harris and Trump are no where near the same. All of Trump’s actions are your fault - you own it. Stop trying to weasel out of it.
You really haven’t been paying attention. Kamala literally ran on half the policies Trump is doing now and was posturing to ramp up imperialist action abroad just like Trump.
If you think Kamala Harris wouldn’t have bombed Iran in the exact same fashion as Trump I really question your ability to critically think about how the US maintains (or historically maintained) its power geopolitically.
I’ll give you a hint its not with peace.
What are your arguments for why they would be so different because both her campaign and history itself disagree with you. Like please I’d like to have a rational conversation if you can muster up some logical points.
Just fucking sad…
It’s getting really dreary checking international news.
It is a gut punch sometimes.
That nails it. Those were the words I was looking for. It’s either you read something like that or something else just going deeper in a direction you’re reluctantly becoming numb to.
The comment section on Deadline is infested with some sort of disgusting cockroaches
I get the sense there are a lot of accelerationists in this thread. Of course, the accelerationists are never the ones personally impacted by their actions. I wish I had all that privilege to cosplay as a revolutionary
I concur…
Pathetic.
I enjoy a lot of PBS and NPR programs, but it is weird AF to me that people want the government to subsidize the media.
- The job of the media is to hold the government to account. They can’t do that if they’re funded by the government.
- If people appreciate this media, they can pay for it, like they already do with their tax dollars. I see no reason why people need to be taxed so we can have NPR.
Gotta get all that media to have corporate sponsorship and be filled with ads “for the children”
The job of the media is to hold the government to account. They can’t do that if they’re funded by the government.
Yes, and the fact that the current administration shut them down is proof that you can be (partially) tax funded and still be critical.
If people appreciate this media, they can pay for it, like they already do with their tax dollars. I see no reason why people need to be taxed so we can have NPR.
People with cars can pay for their streets themselves. If they love their streets so much, they’d just pay for them. There’s absolutely no reason for a government to provide infrastructure. Or is there?
Yeah gotta give all that ‘welfare’ to amazon and big oil. With a little bit to farmers to not grow crops.
