Not according to our bi-anual election cycle immigration scare 🙄

It’s the media’s job to make us angry at foreigners while ignoring and accepting our problems at home. They’re just doing their job.

Kamala already said that’s off the table.

If only people like you were as emotional about genocide as they were about third parties, the world might be a better place.

What primary? No alternative was offered, no debates happened.

Empathy driven ethics is what’s causing people not to vote for the genocidal supporters in the Dem party. I can’t even blame them for having a red line that is basically “doing what Hitler did”.

Dude your option is actively, currently hurting people! That’s not “imperfect”, it’s literally Hitler levels of supporting a genocide. Talk about selfish lol.

Paying for a roof isn’t work. It’s not producing anything, transforming anything, or doing labor, and it takes no time. It takes 30 seconds to cut a check. And they’re using money I and other renters have paid them because we can’t afford a house, despite very much wanting to, because of how expensive housing is due to landlords buying up all the properties lol. You can tell it’s not a real job because a lot of landlords have full time other jobs. Or it’s why being a landlord is also a great way to get money for old people who can’t work and maybe haven’t saved for retirement nor have a pension.

I 100% agree that the problem is that housing is an investment. Real estate investors should not be buying homes to make a profit at the expense of available housing. I haven’t heard how the situation is in Germany, but that’s good. I heard Tokyo also does it right, where housing depreciates like a car, because they have so much.

I can’t imagine their prison sentences if they were actually thieves. Look at what they’re getting for doing peaceful protests. People freak out when property is disturbed.

My landlord doesn’t do that, they have a property manager that does that stuff. Ive never even seen my landlord. If the landlord does it, then they are not doing landlording, they are being a property manager and landlord, but they don’t necessarily have to, and one doesn’t require being the other.

That’s just because your conservatives haven’t discovered not confirming justices. We used to have bipartisan consensus on judicial picks as well. Give it time as the other capitalist countries continue to decay and get more fascist. Relying on these moral codes and gentleman’s agreements doesn’t work once a party learns to disrupt the system.

Obama literally picked a judge the opposition said was the only one they would pick and then they still didn’t. You can’t remove politics from these systems.

How well had that worked for the US President’s and their appointed Supreme Court justices which have been getting bribed in public without consequences? Unless you mean the guillotine…

Why? We don’t really have that for Presidents, which are just as, if not more, dangerous.

They just don’t like genocide and she supports a genocide. Everyone knows Trump does, so there’s is no need to say anything about it, but Democrats like to pretend they don’t. If that makes you feel uncomfortable for supporting her, it probably should. Genocide was considered the biggest possible evil in the world until the Dems started supporting it, too. The fact that it seems wrong is why people talk about it, because liberals say they feel bad about it so some of them can be pushed on the issue to resolve this contradiction through to doing something about it, while Republicans gleefully cheer for it, so there’s no reason trying to convince them to do anything.

We need to live in those uncomfortable feelings because it might actually force us to think about them and change some shit, or to at least realize the system is fundamentally broken. It can prompt questions, like If we can’t vote out a genocide, do we live in a good democracy? Why are some issues up for debate and not other issues? If our system and democracy is broken, should we be stomping around the world criticizing others’ in Venezuela, China, Cuba, Mexico, Bolivia, etc? Is there a different reason we do so, like imperialism? Have other claims about the US being the good guy at all times been wrong as well? What current propaganda are we buying into? When people confront these wrongs and ask questions about why things are the way they are, it can also encourage them to study history and capitalism to find out why.

Or, you can be like those outside the DNC, rushing past the protestors, closing your eyes and plugging your ears, then act surprised and distraught when your life is made worse because the adventures abroad from candidates you supported blow back on us through terrorism, fascism, and immigration. But if we never think about the contradictions of our own positions and policies, we’re no better than the cult of Republicans, are we?

As opposed to now where they completely ignored the most populous states and only campaign in swing states? That’s not better. Also, it’s not even true. They’d have to actually campaign everywhere.

I thought the Democrats are in control of the Senate? Why delay on something that might hurt their own party’s seats?

I’ll have to check it out! I do enjoy seeing the highlights and memes afterwards lol.

Didn’t they already kill those World Kitchen aid workers? They already know they can get away with it.

Parties have changed in the past. It’s not impossible. We used to have a Whig party, for example.
