That's fine and all but you're going to get the whole toadstool even if you just wanted the tip there youngins.

Come on, you know the most pro war are the fat cats and their kin that will never be anywhere near the front lines.

Wouldn't it be nice though.

Honestly I think you give him too much credit.

I think he's just doing this because he likes to reward loyalty, he knows he can do whatever he wants with his party so he's just going to sitting himself with people who suck him off and tell him it tastes like pineapple, and he knows the party will let him do whatever he wants.

Agree that no matter what his motivation is, and honestly who knows with his best brain, Trump could not care less of his actions ruins the lives of 99% of is.

You just keep thinking that both sides are bad even when one party, despite its flaws, tried to push for peace and the other side publicly expressed genocide is the preferred solution.

Good luck on the upcoming year in affecting change!

Nah, they're clamoring for Biden to hurry up and stop shipment of arms to Israel and get the ceasefire some before Trump gets into office. Too little to late guys, Israel won't care, won't do shit now that they know trump won.

Something, something Republicans are peacemakers.

I guess that's where we differ in opinion. I honestly don't see it as a chicken/egg situation, I 100% put the communication issue on the leadership.

When I lead a team, it's incumbent upon me to ensure communication is flowing and that my team understands what I am providing and asking for from them. Success is ours, failures are mostly mine.

That's how I see this situation at least.

Putting a pedophile and human trafficer in charge of the Justice department...

What a leopard filled world we truly live in!

Inflation per month has decreased but also Argentina economy shrank by 1.7 percent and officially in a recession.

They did have a look at the major news outlets and the daily show a while back so.

No leadership, no experience leading, strategy, of logistics, no outstanding accomplishments, no anything but a pretty face for tv being put in charge of and strategy of millions troops.

The military readiness is going into the shitter with this one.

deported.

What? That made no sense at all. Was that supposed to be some kind of incoherent threat?

It really was, well except for Rola Makki, her view was just bog standard Republican cognitive dissonance.

Still, absolutely infuriating that they would not vote for Harris even when they knew deep down it would be worse and while I can feel for them and actually do agree with some of their points about Democrats not really being behind minorities, I still find it hard to really feel too bad knowing they not only screwed themselves, they the rest of us too.

Okay, you're full of compete shit then.

Literally type in Harris policies and you get Harris's website on the issues, BBC "what are Harris and Trump's policy", CBS "Kamala Harris' policy plans and platform on key issues for the 2024 election", and so on.

If you're going to lie, don't lie about something so easily disproven and being proud that you've admitted you've got time to look shit up and still be a low info voter. That's just pathetic.

Damn, you're right, she did mention that in one single interview and I had forgotten until you mentioned it.

And that's from someone the regularly follows politics and reads the paper everyday. Now imagine the guys I'm talking about above, what make you think they're going to actively go out and seek that info and retain it. Again Every. God. Damn. Day. until inauguration.

All I can see is that this is why Democrats are going to keep losing because instead of coming down to talk to the people and not over them and dismissing with reports and numbers and can't accept the fact that they have a lot of blame along with these low info voters who also have a lot to be desired. Unable to adapt to the changing landscape of how people consume news and information too. But hey, never learn Democrats, never learn.

Define “awful”. I’ll help: you’re about to find out.

And there's your problem. You shouldn't have to point that out, she and the Democratic party should have been talking about the economy non-fucking-stop once she had polling that said people only give two shits about the economy.

She should have been saying, yeah I know inflation sucked balls but we're going to go after the assholes who price gouged you. She should have said, yeah, egg prices went up because of the bird flu and here's the plan to make sure we tell these mass chicken farms to be better. She should have said, hey I know your rent is too damn high but here's something actually realistic we can do about it. Every. God. Damn. Day. until she got inaugurated.

And as for the "Maybe look up her past voting record and background", well guess what? They don't and we know they don't because we have a lot of social science research showing that when you're lower working class, when you're done working two - three jobs or a 12 hour physically demanding job trying to make ends meet, tired out of your god damn skull, and you can't afford to pay your rent or food or internet that you need to actually get another job because the one you have is still laying you off. Yeah, you got that 17% raise that the rank and file got over the four years but to you that basically amounts to another 2 bucks an hour meanwhile you rent's gone up 500% in four years.

I've been there, I've done that, I'm not looking shit up after running a double shift dealing with asshole customers complaining about how prices are too high and some white dude spouting off racist bullshit to my face. I'm not that now and I have a job where I can post on Lemmy in the middle of the day and have that luxury of being able do that research. Most American's don't have that mental bandwidth to do that and one as I put up above is going to give two shits about the BLS report saying that wage growth was the highest in decades when they're literally struggling.

Democrats are often derided for being elite and honestly there's truth to that, Democrats, especially the people in leadership really fucking suck at actually talking to people and really suck at empathy and they have to realize that, I'm sorry but the American public isn't the brightest, they don't have the greatest attention span, they're tired and just want someone to tell them they're going to be able to eat and have a roof over their heads and not have to struggle so damn much and someone's actually got their back. Even if it's pretty little lies.

Pretty sure they're not considered humans in Huckabee's circle.

Are you a Muslim in Dearborn, Michigan?

Good luck y'all.

Dudes a lame duck now, go ask Trump and the Republicans what they are going to do.

Last I check out was "Finish the job.".
