Another thing that gets no attention is that she is one of the few members of congress who didn't invest in individual stocks but just does index funds to prevent conflicts of interest/insider trading. I really wish democrats would do a better job of contrasting Trump's corruption with theirs but then again I guess they gotta pick something and run with it.

“Someone that clean has to be dirty”

I have literally been told that, about myself, by conservatives. This was while I was in The Navy, and holding a Top Secret security clearance. They didn't approve of their daughter dating a "hippie." (That was their descriptor not mine.)

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world -1 points 3 hours ago

They didn't like having hippie semen in their daughter, who could blame them?

0 fucks given about Palestine

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 98 points 18 hours ago

Yes, but what about [single political issue here that Trump is as bad or worse on]?

Clearly this means we should vote for [candidate least likely to win but most likely to split the vote of the non-fascist party]!

"As an upper-middle-class white male, I just don't like politics, so I don't vote."

Fuck you, you selfish little pricks.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 25 points 15 hours ago

I vote now.

I don't think I was selfish before ... Just ignorant and/or sheltered.

I don't think I disagree with your point, but the messaging is unlikely to convert many non voters.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

I'm just yelling at the choir on Lemmy, I believe. With my actual friends, especially married ones with daughters who say this stuff, I approach it differently. "You always tell me you disdain deadbeat dads, but not voting is another form of failing your daughter. You should be a champion for her rights man, not sitting on the sidelines trying to play nice with 'both sides.'"

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

I can't believe how apolitical I was before our daughter was born. I mean I'm not even in the US or a man but Jesus fucking Christ having kids makes you so invested into everything that you cannot not be political. It's not even a real choice unless you are, as you phrase it, a deadbeat parent.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 20 points 14 hours ago

tbf, if they're on a politics com and bragging about not voting, chances are that they're pretty far from where you were at if you were just ignorant and/or sheltered.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago

Well... You're not wrong.

"You see, if fascism wins, then socialism will magically win next. It's a law of nature, like a pendulum. It Is Known."

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 34 points 16 hours ago

This is a real hard chart to follow... Are both sides the same??

[-] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 59 points 18 hours ago

It seems obvious, but half the country thinks Harris controls weather machines and hits Florida with hurricanes for some reason. They show up and vote, because they believe this nonsense deeply.

Please acknowledge the threat and act accordingly. If you are in a swing state, please vote for the rest of us. Your vote matters so very much.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

there was an interview where a woman said something to the effect of "they're controlling the weather and letting the hurricane hit red districts because they can't rig the election otherwise". like yeah hacking motherfucking weather is somehow easier than hacking ballots.

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 22 points 13 hours ago

It's not half. It's a minority in this country. It SEEMS like half cause the electoral college is a moronic system.

And yet, here we are. How is this even a choice?

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Because nothing is real, everything is a game, and us poors are just pieces.

[-] Samvega@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 16 hours ago

Because conspiratorial thinking has flourished, creating a whole set of fantasy worlds to believe in where anything can happen as long as it proves you were right all along when you were an asshole.

Incorrect.
She's got a shitload of those.
She's just on the delivering end, not the receiving.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

TBH violently participating in the injustice system is a financial fraud and treasonous grift on americans.

That we know of (points to forehead)
