Same. I block every instance and topic thats not in english. I cant read it and am not about to learn danish or german or whatever it is, so its an utter waste of my and lemmys time and bandwidth to show it to me. It should really be a standard feature.

Nice. I’ll drive alignment on this value with my directs. I’ll status you tomorrow.

Not a bad point. 70% of dem leadership being in support of war crimes in exchange for $ is a lot better than the 100% that the republicans have. Still not great but I’ll take it.

Note true.

Who knew that murdering innocent human beings in cold blood would have consequences. Time to open that pocketbook and buy more hasbara marketing, zionists. And the world hasnt even witnessed the mass starvation yet. Getting away with that without a military intervention by someone more powerful is going to be really expensive isnt it.

I’m sure you zionists already have a rough cost projection, whats the budget on that?

Once true, not anymore, unless you are talking within a far right republican silo. Support of zionism is now a losing issue, especially with democratic party respondents.

Voting and issue polling is not exactly a totally random and unpredictable phenomenon. I know my peeps. If Harris said the words-- even pretended to deviate from Biden, youth and progressives would have showed. And yes, she would have lost the pro war crowd, but thats a tiny group compared to the ones who didnt vote or voted third party.

I’m fucking Canadian

So you probably dont even understand the full context of what you’re talking about.

Arent there other countries political websites you can go bother people on? Try Australia, your fellow commonwealth country (sorry australians). Theres plenty of other places to be a touriust with strong opinions about other peoples governments.

100% agreed. I’m forgetting my history though, what did they used to do with genociders and war criminals? Something about a rope or a wall.

And its a little past time that the entire Democratic party acknowledge that what Biden did was genocide, and what Harris was proposing was continuing with it.

Dems shouldnt measure ourselves by what republicans do, if they ever want to win an election again.

When both choices explicitely lead to mass murder its mandatory for any ethical person to do all they can to make some third outcome happen.

Voting quietly for what may be slightly less mass murder but certainly is still mass murder is a pathetic and shameful way to chart a course forward. A handful of us have more dignity than that.

Democrats have several members who have called for ending aid to Israel.

Like 3 right. so 99% the same. So we’re back to telling people to be ok with just slightly less evil. Whcih was tried in the last election and failed spectacularly.

trumpistanians

spoken like a nazi camp guard.

Even with Biden exiting late, that was a winnable election and the dems botched it by trying to fit as much evil as they thought they could get away with into the platform-- so they could cash the most checks from AIPAC.

If Harris had just said two weeks before the general that she thought what was going on was genocide, she’d be president right now and the minimum of campaign funding would have been lost. Sure the far right would never donate to the dems again, but when you look at what their donations cost us all, why would anyone take that money anyway?

Bringing their priorities into the party was always a massive mistake by DNC leadership.

And the dems like yourself learned nothing from the loss and keep preaching to others to accept lesser evils. When it comes to crimes against humanity I think you’ll find for the dems that enough of their base says “never again – for any ethnicity” that they should not even try this again unless they absolutely want to lose. Theres barely enough base to even try to win again in any case. We’re past any sort of ‘optimizing for highest $$’ strategizing and just fighting for the party to even exist at all anymore. So maybe take your lesser evil metaphor and fold it till its all sharp corners and do the needful.

In fact some of them hate you and consider you to be a parasite no matter what you do.

super redhot take: implement a lifelong exclusion for being around unattended kids for any priests that are caught pedophiling. Mandatory bright red wrist bracelet wearing for life. And exclusion from ever being a priest again.

Include any higher ups in the church who knew about it and didnt immediately report it to the state law enforcement. There should not be any second system of justice within the priesthood. They follow existing government laws around abuse of children or they are acting criminally, no exceptions. If the pedopriests take off the bracelet they report it immediately to law enforcement or they can face life in prison, still wearing the bracelet.

Any pride which implies superiority over others is douchebaggery. Especially when based on exclusivity of group membership for things you didnt earn yourself. Or anything used to shame others.

Being proud you made yourself work out every day is good. Saying you are proud that you have a better body than most is douchbaggery. Being proud that your wife is hot is douchebaggery. Being proud that your city made the playoffs is douchebaggery. Being proud of yourself that you worked hard and are financially stable is fine, especvially if you keep it to yourself. Being proud that you are rich is douchebaggery.
Being proud of the price of your car is douchebaggery.

Theres nuance there, I’ll leave it to you to figure it out. I think if your pride is intended to make others feel lesser then you can do better.

Being “proud” of your acheivements is fine.

Being “proud” of your country or your state or your football team that you’re not a member of,or your ethnicity is douchebaggery.

agreed. also its fine to be happy when bad people die. The world instantly becomes a better place, why shouldn’t we all throw a party?

including that Brian Thompson health care CEO asshole.

and false morels will seem fine at the time and then randomly kill you years later.

unpopular moral take: All religions are absurd cop outs and you should choose your own model for how to be a good person.
