So your vote has to stop being treated as currency (ironic for the "we hate capitalism" set) and you have to start thinking of other ppl besides yourselves AND you have to live in a world of adults where compromise brings the best possible results.

3. ppl think everything shld happen immediately

Voting must happen every election and voting must be harm reduction because that is all gov is, harm reduction. It can be MORE harm reduction, wherein we get wonderful new laws passed or LESS harm reduction, wherein we keep others from killing ppl and being fascists. But that is its purpose.

Our biggest problems among voters are:

1. refusal to take accountability--a lot of voters who fucked up are simply deciding it can't be their fault they voted as they did; it is somehow someone else's fault that they, GROWN FUCKING ADULTS, did not vote well.

2. not understanding how it works

I mean, this is a really stupid thing to say.

Winning every election is the most viable strategy for preventing authoritarianism. Talking to your white relatives is also good. That would be called "changing the culture."

But mainly? You have to vote well and in every election.

Nefarious Means @nefariousmeans.bsky.social · 1d

This is what the left does. They infest causes, make ever more unreasonable demands, until they drive away potential allies, then they blame everyone else for not wanting to be part of a toxic movement.

They're doing to trans rights what they did to BLM by turning it into "defund."

So basically this is Iranian Hostage Crisis 2.0, just with a 9-month delay in the payoff for no particular reason.

Il Pomodoro @dabenner.bsky.social · 1d

This seems like confirmation

Then Mr. Trump won the presidency back, and the Biden administration was determined to get a cease-fire in place by January, before it left office. It drafted a peace plan, much of which was quite similar to the “20 point plan” Mr. Trump recently issued. There was slow progress: More than 130 hostages had been released by the time the January cease-fire took place.

“We handed over a cease-fire that silenced the guns, had hostages coming out and aid going in, along with a day-after plan to make it permanent,” Mr. Blinken said. But when the new administration took over, “the moment was squandered,” he added. “Israel and Hamas went back to war for eight months.”

Israeli officials tell a different story. Mr. Biden was a lame duck, they noted, and disengaged. Mr. Trump was a known entity, less likely to lecture Mr. Netanyahu in private or public. They put their money on a new president, and a new negotiating team

Someone like JD Vance, who has been on the receiving end of a lot of insinuations, should know to couch his language more carefully.

Anyways, I’ll be here, ready to make a deal to save Americans’ health care and reopen the federal government that Republicans shut down.

A headline from the New York Post reads: “JD Vance calls Chuck Schumer ‘one of the most famous Palestinians’”

The good ol’ Leftist Edgelords, & Ladies alike, are pouncing on Pritzker this weekend. Guess all the heaping praise/fact that he’s “doing something” is really pissing them off. That and they’re super butthurt over the idea of a ceasefire. Keep your eye on the fact that his (((money))) is the topic.

You do not, in fact, have to hand it to Trump. At all. I’ll be grateful for peace and for those released, but there’s still a long way to go. And yes, I do still believe Bibi wanted Trump and wasn’t about to deal while Biden was President.

He's right & do you want to know why? It's because rich white supremacists don't view poor & middle-class white people as white like them.

I've been saying this.

There's a reason why I've advised not rich white ppl to study how their poor Gilded Age ancestors lived.
