Right? I don’t remember seeing a debate or anything. It’s equivalent to those elections people make fun of in North Korea, where the choices are the leader and nobody.

Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What will happen to all the USA TikTok creators once the ban on TikTok takes effect?7·1 year agoArrest you for protesting a genocide or trying to get an abortion? No, sorry, that’s something people in the US have to worry about when their government has their data, not China.
Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What will happen to all the USA TikTok creators once the ban on TikTok takes effect?41·1 year agoConsidering our data is being bought and sold by US companies to whoever I don’t think this is going to help with that. Tbh, I’m more scared of the US having our data than China. The US can use it to find people seeking abortions, or to track protestors trying to get human rights, or things like that. Not China. I’d rather they make a general law to preserve privacy, but this half-assed measure to preserve US monopolies.

They just don’t like that the youth use it to see what’s happening in other parts of the world, like Palestine. They want to be able to keep the US populace within their propaganda bubble, in the state we were in when we didn’t know about things like the Irgun or The Great March of Return.

Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto politics @lemmy.world•Biden resists allies’ calls to exit race after debate performance: ‘I know I’m not a young man’14·1 year agoAt least he sounded a lot more energetic and present in this speech. What happened on stage?
Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto politics @lemmy.world•Biden resists allies’ calls to exit race after debate performance: ‘I know I’m not a young man’23·1 year agoAlso if they didn’t mess with the primary through media contacts, plus the media itself having its own biases due to their corporate owners and neoliberal talk show hosts, plus things like being able to offer favors to certain candidates for dropping out, or using past power like Obama to secure endorsements and stuff. It’s super rigged.

Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto politics @lemmy.world•Pete Buttigieg fact-checks a GOP congressman to his face at House hearing1·1 year agoWhat? No! But we make such a big deal about spreading democracy. Say it ain’t so!
In all seriousness I hope this election makes the rest of the US wake up to the fact that our democracy sucks, and we can stop being a hypocrite about destroying the way of life for other countries like Cuba because we don’t like there’s.
Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto politics @lemmy.world•Pete Buttigieg fact-checks a GOP congressman to his face at House hearing61·1 year agoHe’s a milquetoast centrist moderate who will champion the same neoliberal policies that led us to this current state of crisis in America. He was also a proud McKinsey consultant and I think he worked with the CIA. During the election I thought his main issues were just not enough experience, though (he was just mayor of a small town basically). Social issue wise he’s better than Trump still. Anyone is, though lol.
Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto politics @lemmy.world•Undecided voters say they now support Joe Biden after debate14·1 year agoIs she pro genocide? My only problem with Biden is his age and Israel policy, and I have no idea what hers are.
Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto politics @lemmy.world•Dangerous Precedent': Record AIPAC Spending Helps George Latimer Defeat Jamaal Bowman3·1 year agoRight? I was about to say, this can’t be the first politician AIPAC has bought and placed into our government.
Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto politics @lemmy.world•We Just Watched a Warmongering Foreign Lobbyist Group Buy a Seat in Congress13·1 year agoReally? That made me like him more. Finally a Congressmen didn’t take the Republican’s shit lying down.
Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto politics @lemmy.world•House Votes to Block U.S. Funding to Rebuild Gaza11·1 year agoI kinda see their point, though. Even that kind of performative gesture would get headlines and demonstrate to the public that they’re trying actively to fight for the cause. It’s like when Trump would try to do something and get shut down, like with the Muslim ban or something. He would look like he was doing something and getting obstructed by courts or the “deep state”, but it made people feel like they had an advocate on their site, even though he just didn’t care that much and was mostly out to enrich himself.
Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto politics @lemmy.world•House Votes to Block U.S. Funding to Rebuild Gaza12·1 year agoHe literally gave an example of a filibuster on the House floor in his comment. Idk how effective it would be, but he did source an example of someone fighting with a filibuster.
Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto politics @lemmy.world•New poll finds strong majority opposes gender-affirming care bans for trans minors1·1 year agoYeah I’m glad everyone else was confused, too. I felt like the dumb one for thinking it was the opposite.
Shyfer@ttrpg.networkto World News@beehaw.org•Clashes in Argentina Due to Right Wing Austerity Program2·1 year agoRight? It seems repetitive.
You have to imagine other people have no idea about Marxism but what they’ve heard from US propaganda. When they hear you support China, Cuba, and Vietnam, they just hear you supporting dictator for life Xi Jinping and one party state Cuba and Vietnam. You guys need better answers than this.
The other person’s answer was pretty good, though.
I guess it’s a combination of spamming plus one point of view. That still doesn’t really strike me as bannable, as most people will post articles they agree with and hence want to share that way. As long as the posted articles are true, then the only issue I see is the spamming part, which is the only thing I agree could be an issue.
Dems aren’t allowed to say that because they are owned by the very same rich people lol
