make your billions by buying lots of small, but super profitable investments.

what if you’re both?

as a queer brown man; i don’t want to be anywhere at all.

why 1949 and where?

fwiw: gay nightlife in san francisco was at its zenith in the 50’s & 60’s .

the san francisco we have today is a tiny dim more conservative ember of what it was back then.

republican policies create more republicans and now that they’re a majority (per the article) a majority of the next generation will be republican.

she’s WISHES! lol

difference they’re not on lemmy; they’re people to volunteered to work in a position where they have to deal with this behavior.

Let’s see how the strategy of ignoring calls from your base a year before a contested election that your opponent polls higher in key states works out for them. It feels like the DNC is trying to lose in 2024 right now.

the “vote for the lesser evil” crowd are an overwhelming majority and, they not only don’t care that dems don’t deserve your vote; but will use that overwhelming majority voice to blame you for enabling trump.

genx is the most trumpy of all the generations and millennials are now in their early 40’s; unless you’re genz or younger, i wouldn’t wait.

also living long enough to watch biden go from dunking on gays to get easy political points to being hailed as the most pro-gay president ever has convinced me that things change in ways that don’t make sense so i now expect that, as wealth transfers from boomers to their younger relatives, we’ll see fascist sentiments resurge due to newly wealthy people feeling like they need to do something to keep their new found wealth.

voting for the lesser evil will only serve to guarantee that you will forever be voting for the lesser evil and that you will reach the same evil that the alternative raced towards, but slower.

this and the fact biden was so un-apologetically banking on homophobic, sexist and classicist issues until well after it became politically convenient to change is exactly why i stopped voting democrat and i love that i’ve been able to convince other who i have a relationship with to stop as well.

thanks for saying

i’ve learned first hand that not even the liberals in austin give a rats ass about voter suppression in texas; so she must be doing this for herself because she’s not going to have an impact in uvalde and much less for the rest of the state.

also: it’s small town texas; i wonder if she actually expects to achieve anything.

it’s everywhere american conservatives have a relationship and right now it’s strongest in africa

I loved that show because I identified w jimmy as someone whose ambitions/aspirations where openly thwarted by those he cared about and was devoted to but kept the open secret from him. I hated chuck because it was clear he was acting on a desire for familial revenge; but then the writers in the last season made it clear that Jimmy is always in the wrong so now I just have ambivalent feelings about a show I loved and then deeply hated in the last 3 episodes

Israeli intelligence knew and did nothing at the behest of their masters

And one of the root causes is propaganda passed off as affordable education to school districts whose budgets are bieng intentionally choked off in favor of for profit education all across this country for the last 5 or so decades

The fediverse has so little content that it makes it hard to imagine anyone paying for something that gives you less content and participation than any unregistered lurker gets from something like reddit for free

this is true and it relates to this topic because multiple studies have shown that unions don’t survive if brown people make up too big of a percentage of the workers; so if you’re going to talk to a union and you see more white faces than any other, you now know to whom you’re talking to and can start to understand why trump will always have an audience with union members despite trump himself being anti-union.

We’re not stupid. We’re scared.

too scared. i very recently spent five years in austin and i learned that the 1) liberal texans are only liberal compared to other texans 2) they readily and easily shrug their shoulders in accepting defeat from institutions that they already know are racist, homophobic, sexist, and classicist and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING else and 3) will fight and report you to the authorities from those same institutions if you try to do ANYTHING else; my favorite examples are of californians disabling driver-less taxis with traffic cones and new-mexicans pelting short term rentals with eggs and bologna, meanwhile liberal austinites will literally call the cops on you if do either of these (ask me how i know).
