After saying all the bullshit was “just jokes” when targeted against other people:

The couple called a lawyer and the police for help fighting the harassment, and Amy filed for, and was granted, a “protection against stalking” order against one person who she said had perpetrated the most “insane lies.” But the hate only seemed to grow. Accounts shared a blurry video of a woman having sex, saying it was Amy, while others flooded the comment sections of their wedding photos and LinkedIn profiles with rape threats and artificially generated porn.

Lemmy wants to think it’s informed…

But I noticed a lot of people just repeat the same things that have been true for 30 years, which would have been fine if the faction who were the problem that entire time hadn’t lost control of the party after the last presidential.

People aren’t really informed here, they mostly just repeat whatever they heard someone say. Which explains why they blindly follow streamers/influencers.

They just want the dopamine hit of tribalism without actually trying to fix anything

Neoliberals want him to matter just as much…

They want to sticl problematic streamers like Piker to every progressive so that instead of talking about progressive policy, they can just make candidates defend a fucking twitch streamer using the candidate for views.

That’s why the republicans, neoliberals, and billionaire owned media won’t shut the fuck up about this douche.

You’re confusing neoliberals with Democrats, something that only helps neoliberals and Republicans and hurts literally everyone else…

Every single headline about him could be about a progressive candidate.

That’s why neoliberals and Republicans live him. He takes up valuable real estate in people’s minds so they’re not talking about progressive candidate.

It’s hard to tell who’s doing it intentionally and who has twitch brainrot.

What’s another two months?

Trump was in North Carolina to stump for Whatley and other Republicans in the state, which is still recovering from the aftereffects of Hurricane Helene two years ago. Democrats haven’t won a Senate seat in the state since 2008, but Democrat Roy Cooper is ahead in all of the state’s major polls, making Trump’s presence in North Carolina almost a requirement for the state GOP

This was already happening…

I forget which vote, but he voted the opposite of how he was supposed to and a bunch of aids had to jump in.

They just yelled at him to vote the other way, didn’t even attempt to explain what was happening.

There’s an army of staffers running our government thru geriatric puppets.

Then you’re almost definitely talking about neoliberals, who have controlled the party in a year and a half

It is time to show up proudly as Jews, as New Yorkers, and as Zionists.”

The KKK proudly showed up as Christians, Southerners, and violent racists…

A couple things like religion and location don’t cancel out the whole “kill people for being different” thing

You think thing would be the same if Republicans didn’t control every aspect of the federal government?

There’s gonna be a lot of neoliberals telling progressives to give up on the party, because the neoliberals only hope of taking the party back is depressing Dem turnout.

And they’re willing to do that

It’s about to get a lot worse now that the Houthis have Bab al-Mandab Strait too.

And it’s not just them, all the Iranian backed militias have been cross training for the last decade.

I’ve been thinking for a while it’s going to get really really bad right before midterms. Iran knows if Dems get control they’ll reign trump in. They’ll 100% manipulate gas prices to influence the election, especially since Trump burnt thru reserves already

We’re not far off from seizing assets of billionaires…

And the easiest place to get people to start, is the sports stadiums people already paid for.

It would drastically drive down not just ticket prices but also everything inside. Everyone would get on board for that, and when it works, people will be open to more.

Is it guaranteed? Obviously not

But what the fuck is the point of making this about an aging popstar?

If he never played another concert what would that actually solve?

What’s crazy is how everyone wants to blame an aging popstar instead of the billionaire NFL owners who are able to cancel stadium shows at stadiums taxpayers paid for…

Like, everyone involved said it’s Bob Kraft who made the decision, but no one reads past a fucking headline.

Bernie’s been a senator for 20 years, most of it while neoliberals controlled the party…

Anyone shocked he’s pragmatic and willing to work with people he despises if that’s what it takes hasn’t been paying attention, like, at all.

Like, the “we can never fall behind” doesn’t make any sense for a country, shit, look at China. They were behind for a long time and they caught up, catching up is a hell of a lot easier than always maintaining a lead no matter.

Corporations tho, they can’t fall behind. Because the system is supposed to be a string of rises and falls of corporations to drive innovation, if not then on a long enough timeline they cannibalize each other. And were left with a handful of corps who literally can’t fail because it would take everything with them.

Those corps can’t compete with “new” corps from other countries who faced the “evolutionary pressure” to compete in capitalism.

The longer countries prop up corporations, the worse the inevitable fall is. If it’s bad enough it’ll just eventually take the whole country with them.

Like, we’ve been seeing it with the auto industry for decades, we have all types of regulations to protect their products, because they can’t keep up with productions from other countries.

If someone ever opens the floodgates of Chinese EVs or AIs, it’ll suck short term for American corporations, but then in a few years/decades, we’d see new ones that can compete. It’s cyclical.

When we stop the cycle it doesn’t save corporations, it just spreads the pain out to everyone to delay the death of a corporation and we all pay the cost.

When shit is too big to fail, it meanss we need a controlled demolition, at least that way we control when it fails.

Because “Democrats” is vague, it’s the DNC:

The Association of State Democratic Committees (ASDC), an arm of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), plans to train volunteers across 57 states and territories. It hopes to train volunteers for 25% of the nation’s 95,000 election day polling places, focusing on districts with competitive races.

These volunteers will wear blue vests to provide a visible presence intended to counter any voter intimidation, including by federal agents. Each state party has a trained election protection director.

I’ll never understand why people think a party controlling politicians is ideal…

Voters should control politicians, and especially for Senators recall votes should be a thing

Always happy to help someone who can’t use a search engine.

Once

I mean, the supposed shooter was legitimately further to the right of Kirk…

I’m just pointing out that a lot of inexplicable shit happened immediately after he died.

Is it most likely he was shot by a rifle? Absolutely.

But we don’t actually know that’s what happened.

He died a year ago this week, shot to death while speaking at Utah Valley University.

There’s been zero investigation…

And stuff like immediately repaving the concrete before law enforcement looked at it as a crime scene, is weird enough we shouldn’t just assume he was shot.

Like, they could have treated it as a normal investigation and people would be able to trust it. But after the shit they immediately pulled, there’s always going to be a shred of doubt that his microphone had a bomb or something else.

Dude was breaking from Trump on Israel, obviously America’s and Israel’s current governments arent above assassinating a streamer.
