Yeah, what’s her specific plan to tackle the issues that people care about?
She has a concept of a rebellion
Haha, I can’t up vote this enough.
That’s what rebellions are built on! Or was that rebelling… Nope, it was hope. Almost forgot
Brilliant
I’m pretty sure that the Death Star is just a big expensive toy, and the force doesn’t exist.
My parents wouldn’t buy it for me!
Okay, it was probably the most expensive playset Kenner made, but is that an excuse I ask you?!
Edit: Well shit, the retail price was $17.99. What the fuck, mom and dad?
What if it taught you it was OK to explode planets?
Galactus already taught me it was okay to eat them, so it’s fine.
Don’t forget inflation… in today’s dollars, that actually would have cost them $78.13, not $17.99
Pff. Whatever. I know the truth is they didn’t love me enough.
What are her policies?
In your idiotic movie, princess whatever didn’t sell weapons to the empire.
What’s the temperature in moscow? I could look it up but heck, you’re right here.

Vader’s death Star may be pointing right at Yavin 4, but Leia doesn’t want to support the rights of Yavin 4 natives so they’re the same
No, Elon Musk is Leia and Trump is Han Solo. I’ll link you the fan fic.
That’s okay. You really don’t have to go to the trouble. You really don’t have to.
I think you’re going to like the part about Luke and Leia’s kiss though. I’m not going to spoil it though, ok I can’t help myself
spoiler
Rudy Giuliani is Luke
Is that the one where “Han” “upgrades” the Falcon to a Cybertruck because it “totally has more storage, bro!”
I’m just here imagining Luke getting his hand chopped off by the cybertruck power trunk mechanism instead of by Vader.
I’m not sure genocide ought to be a joke, but whatevs
Good thing the genocide part isn’t the joke then.
What was it then?
Take a look in the mirror.
LOL
‘Princess’ establishment chosen Lyin’ Leiyah is clearly just trying to turn the empire back into the corrupt old Republic and force everyone to accept all aliens including the despicable Gran who don’t deserve rights because they don’t look or act like me. I heard she was even there when Alderaan was destroyed and did nothing.
Ho ho!
Hey hey!
What planet did Leia blow up today?
Leia made ableist remarks about a storm trooper once. Both sides are the same!
Plus, as a member of the Imperial Senate, she’s obviously part of The Swamp that must be drained.
(I also hear she emigrated to Alderaan illegally.)
She was for Senator Palpatine before she was against him
Also, look at her counsel. My brother’s wife’s hairdresser’s mechanic said that there’s very big questions about where Chewbacca’s from. He hasn’t even released his birth certificate!
Plus, he’s, you know… one of them.
In that case, Princess Vespa would be a better comparison, being Druish.
Yeah, but she doesn’t look Druish though.

How the fuck do you cast the democrats as having no agency
How do YOU force them to have agency but let Republicans do whatever the fuck they want, then punish lefties for it?
What the fuck are you even talking about right now?? The democrats are in office!!
Yea, everyone knows that when one party is in office all the opposing party members go on vacation until a president from their party is elected 🤡
You’re an absolute idiot, the parties comprise the government regardless of who’s POTUS.
Who do you think is president right now? I know you probably wish it was Putin or Xi, but let’s just focus on the US candidates as they are, even if its hard. And let’s be clear: neither is a lefty, but one is much, MUCH closer than the other.
I’m pretty confused. Can you read? Antioutsideaktion is saying the Dems are currently in power… I’m sure he knows Biden is president right now. That’s why the question asked was how can you cast the Democrats as having no power? Because they have power now.
Oh yeah I read fine. At least 5th grade level.
The post is about the election in meme format, and the person running for the D camp is not perfect and also not IN POWER, she is the VP. If you want to throw shade, that’s cool I guess, but it means you’re indirectly supporting Trump, which is about the dumbest thing a person that is self-aware can do. Kamala is not perfect to be sure, but I can think of at least one candidate who is WAY fucking worse.
I’m sure you think you’re cute, but just like LOTR, Tom Bombadil is worth getting fucking cut for being generally moronic (and I read all the songs for some stupid reason).
If you don’t clap for our meme you are the enemy and no I’m not a nazi why do you ask

if you want to ask to vote against trump then do that. here you are making a fool of yourself when harris has repeatedly said she will continue biden’s genocide. does she has power over her own policy or she is just cardboard candidate controlled by aipac. the irony of you talking about self-awareness.
and she has also been very eagerly taken credit for anything good that has happened in last 4 years, she can’t have it both ways. go hag dnc as they are one who are doing everything possible to get trump elected.

Vader’s spokesman said there was a floating planet of trash floating in space called Tatooine
I know Vader choked the life out of the last person who questioned him, but I haven’t seen Leia do enough challenging media interviews.

Since you’re having trouble understanding what is being made fun of, I can help you.
A genocide is not being made fun of.
To find out more about what is being made fun of, I recommend a mirror.

Again, genocide is not what is being made fun of. You are what is being made fun of.
And it’s pretty amusing that I’ve had to explain that to you twice because you didn’t get it the first time.
Edit: Also, you think Princess Leia’s name is Princess Leila. LOL! You’re right, laughing at you does bring me joy.

Ethno-centrist? Please tell me what my ethnicity is.
Removed by mod
Sorry, “Yank” is not an ethnicity. Also, I have dual citizenship.
On the other hand, if “Yank” is an ethnicity, that would make all of your statements about “Yanks” quite racist. Is that really what you want to be seen as?

I’ve been in and out of politics for a while and I’ve never heard of this job.
Could you please point it out to me in the DNCs financials?
https://www.opensecrets.org/political-parties/DNC/2024/expenditures
checkout the communications and community engagement department here. the funds to this programs should be under national or state committees quota
Okay so no evidence, just a link to the DNC internship page.
"I’m not Russian asset, it is they (the people with coherent arguments) who are paid to speak.
lmao, are you just blindly copy pasting from some templates. forget coherent, there are zero arguments in this thread, just you russian, you don’t agree so you also russian
People who have 0 interest in something aren’t likely to do it without being prompted. So are you being paid?

Just a troll. It’s antiyanks, who got banned and has made multiple accounts to evade it.
Can we IP ban the little chud or something?
I’m not sure if that’s a thing on Lemmy, but it’s sorely needed. The little troll is back on another account lmao
only the source instance (where you created your account) has your IP.
Vader didn’t blow up a planet. He didn’t stop it from getting blown up but he was more of an accessory to it.
Trump didn’t stop Jamal Kashoggi from getting murdered with a meat saw, so I guess they’re similar that way.
Was he particularly in a position to stop that?
Stopping him from getting murdered by the Saudis? Maybe.
Done something about it afterward? Definitely.
He did do something about it… he blew up an Iranian General…
/s
Yeah, all he did was help Palpatine build the Death Star, and it was Tarkin who actually gave the order. Do these anti-Vader people even understand what his role is as Sith Lord?
These single-issue voters who refuse to vote for Vader just because of the Aderaan issue are just helping Palpatine. Why does everyone suddenly care so much about Alderaan anyway?
Humorless and missing the point deliberately as usual, I see.
Meanwhile in the real world, Trump explains how he regularly phones up Netanyahu to convince him to ditch Biden’s ceasefire plan.
Removed by mod
And Biden pretends to be upset about that while overriding congress to send him more weapons, completely unconditionally. Just like how he’s been unconditionally supportive of Israel his entire career.
Don’t confuse your conspiracy theory cope that Biden or Kamala are secretly pro-Palestine, contrary to all their actions and statements, with “the real world.”
At a certain point, arguing that they’re legitimately trying and failing to rein Netanyahu in, when he’s completely dependant on our protection, means arguing that they are so absurdly and comically incompetent that shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the levers of power for fear that they might slip on a banana peel and catch themselves on the button that launches the nukes. They’re not idiots, they’re doing it because this is what they want.
I love how you talk so much about the Democrats as if the Republicans wouldn’t be worse and as if Trump hasn’t admitted to phoning Netanyahu frequently to tell him not to agree to Biden’s ceasefire plan.
My criticism of the Democrats has nothing to do with the idea of the Republicans “not being worse.” I just believe, unlike you, that truth doesn’t stop being true when it’s inconvenient. Party loyalty has rendered you completely incapable of acknowledging reality, whether you can’t see it, or whether you do see it but won’t admit what you see.
I’ll ask again since you refuse to answer: do you think that Biden needs Trump’s approval to stop bypassing Congress to send weapons to Israel?
Biden shits his pants “Why would Trump do this?”
When did you stop hitting your wife?
Are you denying the fact that Biden has bypassed congress to send weapons to Israel? Because if so you are dead wrong.
Did Leia keep claiming she wants the most lethal military in the galaxy too?
She was a leading figure in a paramilitary organisation, both before and after the death of the emperor. So, maybe?
Yeah, you’d think that would be exactly what she wanted.
What do you think the United States is more like? A guerilla insurgency or a miltaristic empire imposing its will on the rest of society?
First one, then the other.
Well you’re wrong
I think he was saying that the US began as am insurgency.
Good point and interpretation. Didn’t think of the language as a progression in time instead of a ranking.
So Leia isn’t a great analog. Maybe a Vader / Palpatine election would be closer to realityI misread that, hold up.
The United States of America spends more money on it’s military than the next 10 countries COMBINED.
The United States has ~800 military bases all around the world in foreign countries.
This doesn’t sound like an empire to you?
Leia was leader of the imperial police?
Y’all can’t distinguish between movies and reality.
So the internet certainly tells me.
