A theocratic, revolutionary, far-right nationalist movement, which rejects the fundamental ideals of liberal enlightenment?

So… Fascism.

Look in what dragged the cat

Ah yes, and they can replace him with a real politician: RFK jr.

OP said they were paraphrasing his comments, not quoting him; the word “final” doesn’t appear in the linked article at all.

I had to double check because it caught my eye, too.

It’s not “liberals” they’re targeting with these sorts of tactics, per se, but poor and minority populations, who tend to vote blue out of self-defence. Of course, many of these laws are also applied unequally within states, such as the recent raids of Latino voter organizations in Texas.

Y-Tube might’ve earned them a few cease-and-desists from Google

Here’s a priority for them: drop out endorse Kamala. Stop sapping votes from the left, you’ll let Trump win the electorial college and doom the world.

“Nah.”

She just said it was an option that she was potentially open to, when directly asked if she would nominate a Republican to her cabinet. The headline is misleading.

She isn’t. Or rather, she hasn’t actually pledged to do so. She just suggested that it was a possibility she was open to, when asked directly about it by the CNN interviewer.

This has been true, but violating voting rights brings him into Federal jurisdiction. Here’s hoping Biden’s DOJ will bring charges. I’m not holding my breath, though.

The maddening part is that a lot of those same people will pride themselves on their immigrant heritage, and proudly call America a nation of immigrants. Just, not those immigrants, I guess. 😒

As for the last bit about origins: In my case, it’s all three! 😅 My family contains indigenous people, early Spanish explorers, and Irish immigrants.

My grandfather is buried in that cemetery. He joined the army to stop men like him from taking power.

The disrespect is palpable, he might as well spit on my Abuelo’s grave while he’s at it.

We are not a monolith, but the GOP is racist against all of us for our skin color, they are the monolith, and we should all be united against their bigoted politics.

This really seems like it’s violating some sort of civil rights and/or voting rights law… And if it isn’t, it really damn-well should be!

Not by throwing somebody at the presidency once every 4 years, no.

You need to develop local political establishments, structures of dual-power, and either replace one of the 2 parties at some level, or change the electoral FPTP (First Past the Post) system that gives us 2 parties.

Be it ranked-choice, approval voting, S.T.A.R. voting, pretty much any of these are better (though admittedly, with their own unique setbacks) than FPTP voting. That’s not to mention gerrymandering, or electoral finance reform!

There’s a thousand steps before you get to the point of electing a President who’s neither a Democrat nor a Republican.

He really looks like a walrus, with that moustache. Right?

You’re on it now, bud. It’s here, you’re in it. Welcome!

Neither Amazon nor Google are not part of the Fediverse. If you use their suites of software, you’ll be part of their non-federated, closed systems.

Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Threads, and many, many others are Federated, but not the big corporate entities… Except Threads, stretching out from Meta’s own little digital fiefdom.

That question wasn’t about trans rights, it was about trans identity. A lot of people think of trans people as “those odd queers over there,” but also, “Well they seem to be minding their own business, so I don’t see why they’re supposed to be a roblem,” when it comes to discrimination against them.

Remember, the 2022 midterms were largely about abortion and trans rights. The GOP lost that fight pretty hard. Most Americans are supportive of trans rights in the same way they’re supportive of gay marriage: “Well, I wouldn’t do it, but the government has no business meddling in people’s bedrooms!”

The median American political disposition is, at times, more socially conservative than we might like, but still has a strong believe in civil libertarianism. Or, as Tim Walz likes to put it, “Mind your own damn business!”

All money has been play money since the end of bartering and establishment of currency. Coinage is just more widely exchangeable for goods and services than my cows, donkeys, goats, and geese. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)_⁠/⁠¯
