I generally assume that whichever option the propaganda-machine is pushing hard is probably the worse option
It’s not quite that simple; calling for Biden’s replacement (without any particular plan for what that might look like) can be a way to attack Biden even if there is a strategic way to do it that might be worth the risk. But, all other things being equal, whichever option is what your enemies are constantly talking about as the only logical choice can be assumed to be the worse choice.
Dude
Fix the problems
“Airing the concerns” has been accomplished, at this point, and then some.
What’s the strategy to fuckin fix it? I don’t even want to click this but I assume it says he is old, or invented Israel, or both. So who then, instead? Is that in the article, or are we still fixated on the airing of concerns stage?
Well said
Almost as if there is a cunning and self-serving reason why genocide in Gaza is an absolutist red line, but the existential threat of climate change, genocide in Ukraine or China, mass deportations in the US, political violence and the collapse of democracy in the US, or Trump’s vocal and full throated support for genocide in Gaza among many other places, are not “red lines” for a decision about what would be best to do in this election.
Though there were divides between Democrats and Republicans on many of these issues, it was nothing like the current environment in which identity politics reigns.
Dude they want to kill Democrats and put their opponents in prison and cancel any elections that they do not win
Quit the both sides shit
It’s not identity politics that is the issue, you are LYING when you say that it is, because you are trying to come up with something more palatable than the truth
Yeah he stuck with January 6th for a certain length of time and then said you know what I think it’s about time to get the fuck out of here. This seems like a similar situation.
That seems wise
I am legit a little bit surprised that a mob hasn’t at any point attacked Jordan Klepper. Dude has big steel balls. But this is different
15% of Lemmy wants Russia to win the Ukraine war and says you are pro-imperialism if you don’t also want that, 10% is LGBTQ and needs everyone to be nice at all times and also wants to shoot Republicans, 55% wants the US Democrats to win the election, but also wants them to stop arming Israel which is Biden’s favorite thing, and 20% swears their only priority is justice for Palestine and immigrants and working people, but they also want the Democrats to lose, which is confusing but they swear it makes sense and will get very condescending about how you are wrong and stupid about everything if you have a problem with it
And the groups are constantly fighting with each other, like every day in more news and political threads than not, and although the first two and last two have largely defederated from each other they can still be seen bickering from time to time when conditions allow
If they are trying for a single global government they had better start with a single Lemmy government
From the article, quoting a Firefox dev explaining the decision:
@McCovican @jonny @mathew @RenewedRebecca Opt-in is only meaningful if users can make an informed decision. I think explaining a system like PPA would be a difficult task. And most users complain a lot about these types of interruption.
In my opinion an easily discoverable opt-out option + blog posts and such were the right decision.
puts on They Live glasses
@McCovican @jonny @mathew @RenewedRebecca If we had made it opt in, then not a single human being on the planet would have enabled it, and we didn’t want that
Just use LibreWolf; I’m not up to speed on this stuff but I more or less believe the hype that it will protect my privacy simply by taking Firefox and adding an ad blocker for me and disabling all the shit for me
What’s the matter Evers, are they dangerous or something
The schoolchildren seem to be dealing with them without any kind of problems, I feel like full grown adults should—
Oh wait
Hey hang on I think I do see what you’re getting at
And hear me out, I might have a CRAZY idea
(Honestly man I feel like it should be some kind of constitutional amendment general rule or something, like the “It was fine when it was someone else’s loved ones on the line so go fuck yourself” act or something)
