Head of group responsible for Project 2025 threatens violence if people challenge their "revolution"
Oh some aren't, for sure, but then when their words are copied verbatim they become so, unbeknownst to their original writers. So yeah, they aren't "all" bots, but some are.
Okay but... at this point, how much of Reddit comments are not just straight-up Russian troll farms, or people who have interacted with those for so long that we could not tell the difference?
Whereas we have tankies on Lemmy, but they are different, and we also have some non-tankies as well.
Most people with a conscience have already left Reddit behind, unless there's a really good reason otherwise (e.g. nursing subs and other emergency services).
So I guess I'm saying, would those people have voted for some other Democratic candidate? Or do they just want to complain and serve up their word emo-vomit as "content" on Reddit, which the latter keeps rewarding them for doing no matter how irrelevant it is to irl?
Absolutely, give the kid ~as~ ~a~ gift!
Arguably the President's chief job is not to execute the law of the land, but rather to inspire hope. He is too tired to be able to do that. But nothing is perfect, and he does keep trying, and we gotta respect that effort at least:-).
What if there is no right side to that issue? "From the river to the sea" means that both sides want to genocide the other, except that one side is actively doing that now, but give them half a chance and the other will do it right back.
But if we withdraw our support, gas prices go up, and thereby Republicans win the House and Senate. We only have the almost-majority now bc they went down bc of the deals Biden made e.g. with the Saudis who killed Jamal Khashoggi.
Arguably Biden may somehow be grandfathered in, but any new nominee is going to have to take a stand on the issue with some kind of position or another. And thereby they are going to get eaten alive, no matter what position they take.
I suddenly see why Biden is taking the Presidency to his grave - it may well be literally the only option left open at this point.
Edit: otherwise, why would you have added that last bit, "(as long as they are on the right side of the Israel/ Gaza issue)" - with all that is going on, it's not enough to be a Democrat who can stay awake during a sentence, as we've all been saying, now suddenly they also have to have the perfect stance on the Gaza issue too? You know, the "correct" (leftist) one, which also somehow is the one that will convince people who might otherwise vote for Trump to pick this new nominee instead? (so thereby not leftist at all, or else they will stay with Trump)
It is a worthwhile fear. As is doing nothing. Both are very valid fears.
About the king though, that ship has sailed. It would take an act of Congress to fix that, hence there is basically no chance before the election and possibly not ever afterwards. Best we can do is a god-king emperor that chooses not to exercise their powers, or else does so really sneakily so that we can't tell the difference - since ofc we are unable to even ask. We will literally never know if it is not happening - though ofc when it becomes really obvious that it is being used, then we'll know. As such, Democracy is dead, long live our next king, whoever they may be.
That's the explanation!
Hmmm, maybe this y no beer?
I have responded to so many of these "who tho" requests, but they all end up in silence without even a reply. At this point I'm thinking it's some kind of script that sea lions were told to follow.
Brace yourself, bc based on discussions here and what he's said, I think Biden will remain the nominee. Yes, that should chill you to the bone, if it causes Trump to win. However, everyone seems too afraid to buck the system right now - e.g. Harris is not well-liked already, by anyone it seems, and stands to gain the Presidency handed to her by Biden, so she's not going to risk that sweet deal by trying to remove him. If he did so willingly, which he's already said that he won't, then that would be one thing, but otherwise...
