I know how editorial sections work, but you'd think they'd at least check for bald-faced lies. Not out of a sense of decency, but self-interest.

I see you're not familiar with our media

Didn't the NYT mean something at one point?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 4 months ago

It did but then Meredith Levien took control of the business and added a hard authoritarian edge to the paper which is showing in all the right wing religious nonsense it has been spewing of late.

It's fitting that the liberal paper of record supported every single war the US has been in, opposed MLK when he was marching, promoted the whole "crack babies pre-disposed to crime" horseshit in the 90s, but evolved to take the correct side that was bad, MLK was good (but civil rights is over, these new guys need to shut up), etc 5 years after it mattered.

I mean, they hired a Hitler sympathizer in the 1930s who praised Goebbels, so one could argue they have always been shitty. I'd say it's time to start telling people they (NYT) are shit and hope they lose money.

Reminder that voting does work, because you can set your watch to the fascists voting, and they're getting exactly what they want.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago

If voting didn't work they wouldn't need to tell us not to.

I’ve been saying this for months. And it’s incredibly obvious with most of them.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Literal years, their game plan with getting the DNC leaked was getting progressive dems to not vote, or vote 3rd party (which is the same as not voting in the US) And the end result was... Trump.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Mathematically, anyone who didn't vote against trump, vote for him, when he won. That is just how our system plays out.

We all agree it is a bad system.

Why does he look like a cartoon British man

[–] [email protected] 54 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I was thinking a few strokes of a razor away from looking like a certain fascist.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And I think he knows, and that's it’s on purpose

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Oh, I 100% agree with you on that.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

Seriously. That can’t be coincidence. Look at that idiotic hair.

Dude’s got the haircut down. All he needs is to trim down that mustache from either sides to complete the β€œfine people on both sides” look

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

I support right-wingers not voting. Like they kept threatening when they were insisting (not that they aren't still insisisting) that the 2020 election was stolen.

Where it matters is which sock is putting judges on the Supreme Court. Trump added three in his last stint. Seeing as they tend to sit for 30+ years, this has generational impact.

One of those could have been avoided if Ginsberg would have retired when she was supposed to.

They almost always do. Don't vote campaigns works on only non-fanatics and they are usually the more sensible compared to fanatics so yea

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Karma police, arrest this man; his Hitler haircut is making me feel ill.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It is gaining traction with leftists that don't understand how FPTP voting works. Just educate them. Every single right-wing anchor they try to attach to our society can be destroyed with education and information.

Well fuck that guy. I love how he tries to compare voting to sexual abstinence too. He's so high on his own supply he can't stop from telling on himself.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Their only chance to win is if the Democrats don't vote. If everyone voted, there wouldn't be enough republikkklowns in office to make a difference. They know this. VOTE like your freedom depends on it. (because it does)
