No ☺️

Well it has to be an error, or they might have to be held accountable. So instead they do what the DA calls an “oopsy doopsy”

I guess I still don’t see your point. Yes there are multiple places we take advantage of naive people. And?

One, we absolutely should not allow recruiters to be in schools. Two they didn’t mention age at all. They mentioned her being an intern and the power imbalance. It’s extremely strange that you jumped right to her being eligible for military contract.

Bruh, I see a therapist every month.

That wasn’t the question.

As for anger I see the confusion. I was saying this level of anger and energy in internet forums is not normal or healthy.

Glad you are working with community, do that instead of this.

As for the rest, I have no interested in replying piece by piece.

Have you ever thought about reading stuff out like this to a therapist? How do you imagine they would see this conversation?

I am not telling you to not be angry. I am telling you I think distance from this space you seem to devote hours to, and actively get infuriated at, isn’t actually good for you. Further I don’t think it’s that helpful for the state of the world. With that knowledge I think it’s worth asking, why stay in a place you hate, arguing with people you think are ‘literal fucking nazis’ to what I would guess is little avail. Have you looked into local organizing and the groups in your community that act to fight fascism?

And let pro-genocide ghouls spread your slop in the hopes of getting as many minorities murdered as possible?

It seems like you’ve position your posted here as your fight against fascism. Also implying I was a pro-genocide ghoul trying to get as many minorities murdered as possible.

This level of hostility and aggression is not healthy. To me it speaks to someone that spends too much time online. Even if it is not political posting, it seems evident that you do spend a great deal of time on this website and I think it would feel better about other people if you spent more time with them.

Do you think that’s a genuine and good faith interpretation of what I was saying?

You sound genuinely unwell. Be in community, it will do you good.

I fucking hate this site.

I am not saying it is. I am saying if one’s only political action is only commenting online and voting ever 2 years, they are performative.

You’re allowed to be as performative as you want.

Voting isn’t all you can do, and we’re here now. If all you’re doing is yelling about an election from half a year ago and don’t organize, your just as performative as the people you trash talk.

No noo noooo, stay online, keep posting, keep complaining about “the left” and whoever that may include. If we shame enough people on lemmy finally we can shift the narrative and get our no matter who blue in to, idk, reduce funding on ice to half of the new inflated Trump budget.

Just whatever you do, don’t do anything outside!!

Smetters and his colleagues published a list of suggested reforms that they think could help to fix the budget: raise the retirement age to 70, add a carbon tax, reduce social security benefits.

Wow, novel conclusion my guy.

I really wish I could respect economists, it seems like an interesting field if they weren’t such a pseudo-science.

I totally know what you mean, but it is kinda funny to say you quit cold turkey on a structurally identical platform lol

So we have given up on the other two claims then right, she hasn’t been for medicare for all since the 2020 primary, right? Further when it goes on to say,

the same rate previously put in place in the 1986 bipartisan tax reform and well below the rate proposed in the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2025 budget. In their view, this approach strikes the right balance.

Can you see why this didn’t capture the enthusiasm of a voting population that is largely very sick of slow incremental changes that are so desperately in line with the status quo? People get inspired by a fighter, and ‘finding a nice balance’ on how much we should tax the corporations during what people view as rapid greed driven inflation.

That is a assuming they are in the weeds deep enough to even to know what she is doing. This article describing the steps paints a picture of someone that’s serious about money in politics.

This on top of Gaza, on top of Biden taking so long to drop out and have no primary. It sets the stage for a candidate that democrats didn’t fall in love with, and lost to the republicans falling in line.

Okay cool, that’s the only one I found too. So nothing about Medicaid for all or getting the money out of politics, right? Because without those on top, I think it’s not surprising that folks were unmotivated by stuff like:

Vice President Harris and Governor Walz’s plan will raise the corporate tax rate to 28 percent—still well below the rate that was in place before the Trump tax cuts under both Democratic and Republican presidents.

You can check the wayback machine, or the pdf here. Do you mind citing where she advocates for each of those?

You ever try and cut a candle? Wax tablet was wildly op in it’s meta.
