One week old account. 684 Comments. 383 Posts. That’s 152 posts/comments a day, 9 an hour, and most are over a paragraph long. Almost all of them focus controversially on third-party advocacy in the middle of an election year.

Not saying this account is a bot, but a person would certainly have to be spending a whole lot of time on lemmy to be posting this much in one week so it certainly feels spamish.

The Solar system has vast secrets and riches, all for us, and we don’t have to share, because it’s our system.

That is until we find the massive moon worms whose tunnels we tried to colonize. /s

Zionists are not following Judaism. If you ask jewish people living in occupied Palestine

That’s a tiny minority sect of Jews in Israel, a majority of Jews in Israel support the existence of Israel, that’s why they’re there.

A majority of Jews in the U.S. and globally also support the existence of Israel.

Candidates have to get a certain amount of signatures before getting ballot access on the primary in a state.

Williamson and Phillips weren’t able to do that everywhere, and Biden was, that’s on them not having as many campaign resources as a literal incumbent U.S. President, not the DNC somehow keeping them off the ballot.

Biden and Dem leadership were saying it up to a few months ago, so it shouldn’t be hard to admit.

It was longer than a few months ago and they clearly said why they stopped even considering packing the Supreme Court.

Not only did they not have a congress to pass it, because they’ve never held anywhere close to enough of a super majority to get past fillibuster. But it’s also effectively handing a loaded gun to a second Trump presidency or any Republican presidency to do the same.

During a Fox & Friends interview on March 6, 2024, Gabbard was directly asked about serving as Trump’s vice-president. She responded, “I would be honored to serve our country in that way and be in a position to help President Trump…” In March 2024, Gabbard was cited by Trump as one of his potential choices for his vice presidential running mate.

Seems like you’re the one who isn’t paying attention

Not only did she not even apply for the Democratic Nomination, she seems more inclined to being Trump’s VP than a possible democratic nominee.

That’s simply not true, Tulsi Gabbard had the opportunity to submit her name to the primary election after getting enough signatures just like Dean Phillips and Marriane Williamson did.

She didn’t even do that, the most basic step of trying to become president, I wouldn’t blame the DNC for her not bothering with the basics.

About 25 to 50 percent, depending on which Polling Aggregate source you’re using for Biden currently. Which would presumably improve with another candidate.

25% From the economist

40% From The Hill

50% From 538

Meanwhile, RFK Jr., the highest polling of the third party candidates, has less than 1% chance of winning enough electoral votes.

However, my original point wasn’t that a Biden replacement would do better than RFK or a third party in the general (though they certainly would), but that if you dislike Biden, him being replaced is more likely than a third party candidate ever winning.

I’ve never met a single person who thinks any of them could actually get the popular or electoral vote, at this point replacing Biden with another Democrat would be far more likely.

Dude has been a joke for a very long time. Like his illegal campaign for the Dem nomination that was only ever meant to be attention seeking, that subsequently got zero attention for the most recent example.

You think Bernie Sanders doesn’t want all of that, too? You should read his latest book.

He was just being pragmatic when he mostly only talked about the most easily achievable and popular of his possible reforms.

Bernie fucking Sanders was a centrist according to the rest of the world.

Just utterly and completely wrong, Bernie would be firmly within the populist/socialist left of Europe, and probably the rest of the world too.

Oh I completely agree, just wanted to point out that AIPAC is homegrown interventionism, not foreign like people tend to think.

How is this not foreign interference?

Because AIPAC doesn’t take any foreign money, it’s funded entirely from within the U.S.

I lived in a very rural area back then, I know a friend whose family was all watching that debate together in their living room, all hard-core Trump supporters of course. That debate literally made them so sad they turned off the TV mid debate, it broke my friend free from being a MAGA diehard.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Biden campaign saw something like that reflected in polling, even marginally, and is trying to recreate it.

Can vouch for Viture being much more open source friendly, there’s a redditor making a plugin for the steamdeck to make it work far better with the Viture’s, and Viture has apparently given them access to some things that Xreal has refused.

Their openness is what won me over for them over other AR glasses. Not only are the willing to help what’s effectively a competing software developer, it’s also incredibly helpful when the product is so niche, don’t have to worry about a company going out of business and your device suddenly becoming a paper weight.

It’s important to note this was a minority of congressional democrats, only about a quarter, still a quarter of the party too much.

Disregarding the weirdest propaganda meme I have literally ever seen.

Lei Feng died of very very non-natural causes, supposedly when he was struck by a telephone pole that had been hit by a truck.

It’s also worth noting that he was essentially just a caricature of the “perfect revolutionary” for the Chinese government, it’s very hard to establish any historicity to any of the things attributed to him.

Did any other congresspeople do that? I’m genuinely surprised if not, few things really invoked how that moment felt better than the pictures I saw of him solemnly cleaning the capitol floors.

There’s a massive massive difference between how Biden’s administration has uses the security state vs how Trump tried to use it last time and will use it next time.

There’s literally no point to draw an equivalence between Trump and Biden than to diminish Trump’s fascism.
