Damn we need that clown meme up in here. I remember when she was a big supporter of Bernie in 2016. So I’m guessing she was just a Putin puppet the whole time right?
I honestly thought she might be Trump’s VP.
There was pretty strong evidence back then that she was on Russia’s payroll.
And everyone kept refusing to believe it
A woman? No way
behind the bastardsQAA did an episode on her, I think. She’s involved in some weird cult.
Can you expect anything else given the current administration had her added to the Quiet Skies list?
True!
Thanks for bringing up Quiet Skies and Tulsi!
Seems many do not care or know about it.
Yes? If you were added to a sketchy government surveillance list would you then decide you wanted Donald Trump to be president?
I think I might do anything that might prevent that from happening to me again.
And Dumpy Don is so level headed and even handed in his application of policy. /S
All your ideals, your whole political identity, just out the window because you personally were put on a surveillance list? Doesn’t sound like you really believe in anything all that much then…
I believe in not being surveilled by my government. That is a core belief. So you could say that yes I do believe in some things very deeply.
Do you complete your census questionnaire? What about registering for a political party?
Yes I complete my census survey that seems like a valid function of government.
I do not register for a political party as I believe voting is an immoral act. I have no right to tell anyone how to live there life. If I were to vote for a candidate I would be indirectly telling others how they should live. If I were to vote for a ballot measure I would be directly telling others how they should live.
Someone recently challenged me on that stance and I’m revaluating it slightly. They asked if I would vote to restore a freedom that had been taken away. I haven’t fully wrestled with that yet, but I’m starting to think that I might should the situation occur.
Ok, you believe in one thing very much and have no meaningful beliefs about anything to do with anyone other than yourself. Yeah, then it does make sense for you to base your entire political life around a single personal affront.
They’re also ignoring that project 2025 involves putting tens of thousands on a government hit list.
Trump is the person in this election who is most likely to keep creepy watchlists. In fact, I would be shocked if he doesn’t have them already.
He has people who curate his enemies list, and he will get them once he is elected… or at least that is what he told everyone during his rallies.

And here I am having been accused before of “bothside-ism” when I said politicians flip flop-- on party or policy wise. Democrats do it but Republicans do it more. It seems that Lemmy forgot about John Fetterman and Tulsi Gabbard. But I don’t know, maybe because I came from a corrupt country and not surprised of any backstabbing and flip flopping. Maybe it is biased in favour of Democrats that some Lemmy users have ideological blindspot; or maybe it’s a first world problem when people can’t believe politicians turn.
I’ve lived here all my life, and I see it. Unlike the child’s fairy tale noting naked emperors won’t win any popularity contests.
Lemmy is way worse in terms of hypocrisy. Some people on lemmy say one thing, then there’s other people on lemmy that say the complete opposite. How can you ever trust anything you read on here when there’s no consistency in what everyone is saying? I think people that think lemmy is good have a blindspot that prevents them from seeing the terrible people I’ve encountered on here.
Though it’s possible, and this may sound crazy, that individuals within a group may differ in opinion on some things.
What do you mean we aren’t aren’t all part of the collective hive mind?!?!?! That’s why i signed up!

Why is it so weird to you that there is more than one opinion present on the internet? You could have seen that and concluded that Lemmy isn’t as homogeneous as you thought it was but for some reason you decided to interpret it as a conspiracy to deceive you. Not gonna lie, that seems pretty fucking crazy to me.
Kinda the point. A group of people (whether it’s an internet forum or a political party) are not going to be homogeneous. Anyone can join lemmy, and anyone can join a political party. Which means both will have all kinds of weirdos in the mix.
and here I thought it was a parody…
He keeps us in his heart
Sure. Tell that to the women that he took abortion rights from, or the refugee kids that he stripped from families, or the people he tried to deny health care, or the natural disaster victims in blue states that he tried not to help because they voted for the other party, etc etc etc.
This man has never cared about anyone other than himself.
If he’s pretending to care about you, it’s because he thinks you’re a useful idiot that will get him into a position of power that he can exploit.
Hates us with all his heart?

I’m constantly being bombarded with these supposedly known people who I have never heard of. Just looks like maga trash to me. There are tons of it festering in every city in the country.
You never heard of Tulsi Gabbard? She was pretty prominent during the 2020 primaries.
Nope. Sounds like it was for good reason. I tend to ignore flakes.
Tulsa Gabbard has the warmth, honesty and vocal tonality of Elizabeth Holmes.
Worst part about this comment, I can’t tell who it’s a bigger insult to.
Gabbard. Holmes is at least trying to do a bit and pretend she’s Jobs, even if her technical acumen is equivalent to his personal hygiene (I.e. it fucking stinks). Gabbard is just like that, so that’s so much worse.
At least Holmes is kinda hot
ah yes, because a women’s worth is directly related to their attractiveness

lol, it’s hard for anything to offend me. but it’s easy to point out misogynistic behavior when I see it 😂
whether you meant it that way or not (probably not) it’s still rude to reduce women to “aha but at least this one is easy on the eyes!”
He meant it that way.
dear God lol
She is a Russian asset.
Gabbard loves cults
“I know what I mean when I share with you that President Trump understands the grave responsibility that a president and commander-in-chief bears for every single one of our lives,” she said.
I really only have obscenities at this point. Lots of them…maybe all of them.
“I know what I mean when I share with you that President Trump understands the grave responsibility that a president and commander-in-chief bears for every single one of our lives,” she said.
…and he doesn’t give single shit about any of those responsibilities or those lives. He will walk on your grandmother’s face if it means saving a single step to wrap his small fingers around a can of Diet Coke sooner.
Grifter dumbass!

Poor modding effort. What was uncivil about my post?
Calling out tankies = uncivil, of course

Basically the entire comment. Do not attack other users.
Ridicule is not attacking. If you can’t see the difference you shouldn’t be moderating.
You weren’t ridiculing them, you attacked them twice in one post. If you can’t see that, this isn’t the community for you. Temp ban.

This is simultaneously unsurprising and mildly shocking. I don’t understand human nature.
Weird to see a rat crawl on to a sinking ship
“When a rat is promised cheese, it’ll follow you anywhere.”
-Donald J. Trump
“We saw this through his first term in the presidency when he not only didn’t start any new wars, he took action to de-escalate and prevent wars. The same cannot be said about Kamala Harris. In fact the opposite is true.”
She’s not wrong.
Lol man you are working overtime 😂😂😂 half the root comments I’ve read have been you spouting something goofy. That’s some basement dweller shit.
Assassinating an Iranian general and tearing up the non proliferation treaty?
Trump did more drone strikes in his first 2 years than Obama did in 8.
They’re a far-right radical cosplaying as a leftist for propaganda, of course they will deliberately ignore what Donald did.
They’re a far-right radical cosplaying as a leftist for propaganda
No. It’s the Democrats who have become far right.
You wrote you are “leaning towards” Donald. You have zero integrity whatsoever. Same with all the other MAGAs.
You have zero integrity whatsoever.
Integrity is being loyal to my ideals, not to a party that has drifted so far right (in ideology, in rhetoric, in incivility) that they are almost indistinguishable from Republicans.
Your ideals are MAGA, and you do have integrity towards them by posting pro-Donald propaganda. The lack of integrity I am calling out is you pretending to be on the left side of Dems and Repubs. “Dems have drifted too far right therefore I will vote further right than that.” Ok, buddy. We can all see what your motivations are.
“Dems have drifted too far right therefore I will vote further right than that.”
That’s the thing. On the issues I most care about (Israel, immigration), I don’t think the Republicans are further right than the Democrats anymore.
i don’t see the democrats siding with assad as he gasses his own people like tulsi does.
How is the opposite true about Kamala? The quote just ends there. No evidence is given. Either Gabbard is being sloppy or the journalist is.
How is the opposite true about Kamala?
Because she isn’t taking measures to de-escalate and avoid wars. Her rhetoric has been nothing but hawkish (on Hamas, Iran, Ukraine, etc.).
And now, just days after her hawkish speech about supporting Israel, we’re now seeing Israel initiate conflict with Lebanon. Good job, Kamala. And she’s not even president yet.
Oh, so it’s no longer geocide joe eh?
What do you mean?
Because I agreed with something Gabbard said about Harris, you think I no longer oppose Joe Biden?
I think you are a serial spammer, and I’m blocking you lol.
You asked me a question and I responded. That’s not spamming.
I’m pretty sure Kamala hasn’t started any wars as president.
trump literally dropped the largest non nuclear bomb on afghanistan, threatened to go thermonuclear against north korea, assassinated iran’s military leader, ripped up a peace deal, increased presence in iraq, vetoed the bipartisan end of us involvement in yemen, and called for israel to turn gaza into a parking lot.
And, sadly, that’s still pretty pacifist as far as US presidencies go.
