Huh, so is he gonna stop funding genocide? Is he gonna end student loans? Let women get abortion healthcare at military bases? Stack the court? Stop giving military equipment to police? Give me $1200? Federally legalize pot and pardon all cannabis possession/distribution charges?

He barely scraped by in 2020, and that was with people expecting steps towards free college, defunding the police, freeing the migrant concentration camps, and free healthcare. Since then he has only demotivated the base.

West Wing reruns mostly.

If the American People see the democrats trying to compromise with the republicans by giving them half the budget (even though Dems have a super majority), the republicans will be compelled by their better nature to reciprocate. And if they don't, surely the American people will vote for the Dems for being so magnanimous.

This was reflected in most of his speeches and press ops.

Instead of "Here's how we're gonna help you", his healthcare speech was "Skin in the game! This is not a handout, fuck those welfare queens, we're gonna help people get skin in the game! so they can buy their own healthcare on a free market".

Instead of "Beating the shit out of a black dude for standing in his front yard is bad", they had the both sides beer, where the cop who beat this guy and arrested him in front of his family and neighbors got to sit down and have one(1) beer with his victim.

etc

Cracker or Gusano?

Brits pretending they'd care what a pole thinks.

But when the world needed Ulysses the most, he vanished.

I don't see how someone who lived though the 2020 BLM protests and covid and still thinks they live in a democracy can be radicalized.

If watching every city's police respond to protests against police brutality with more brutality while every dem increased their funding and republican begged for the blood of children, while a million Americans are sacrificed at the alter of capital didn't wake them up, I can't conceive of a scenario that would.

The military using live ammo? Famine?

What is this guy's reaction to a train with wifi and an outlet?

Of all of those, I'm only disappointed by pawb.social and blahaj.lemmy.

LGBT+ instances defederating eachother weakens our voice and ability to support eachother on the fediverse.

I've seen more posts complaining about Hexbear than actual objectionable things they've done

I've seen a few posts from instances we've never federated with claiming outlandish things about hexbear such as that we're unmoderated, controlled by ExplodingHeads, overwhelmed the moderation team at Lemmy.world (who once again, we were never federated with), accusations of racism/misogyny/transphobia, etc. There's at least a couple people who're just making shit up, but that's to be expected.

That's not to say everything you hear about us is fabricated, I'm sure most of it is misunderstanding, a smaller portion people picking things in bad faith, and only a tiny minority straight up lying.

edit- There's one of those weaselly little liars right in this thread!

Note, those tanks are leaving the square.

According to the western narrative, those tanks just spent hours gunning down unarmed protesters, then crushing their corpses into liquid.

And then stop to argue with a single dude trying to block them from leaving.

It kinda works if you understand knights as existing to defend oppressing class of feudalism.

But yeah, we don't need to stan modern russia to oppose western imperialism.

Fewer then 97% of China are fluent in English.

I rate this 5 Pinocchios.
