politics @lemmy.world•Haley Stevens’ chief of staff and others resign amid Mike Rogers endorsement
4·16 hours agoGiven the relative proximity of the involved letters on the QWERTY pad, it’s probably safe to give benefit of the doubt.

politics @lemmy.world•Abdul El-Sayed raised $1.2 million in hours since Haley Stevens endorsed his rival
27·16 hours agoHuh…maybe this was a galaxy-brain 5D chess move by Stevens, where she completely sacrifices her credibility and soul to help the good doctor out. If she did what she did with the intention to actually help him, that’d be cool. Unfortunately, that’s almost certainly not the case. She’s just paid off and dumb.

831·21 hours agoThere’s stupid, and then theres Haley Stevens stupid. The mossad agents must have some serious leverage on her. Wonder what she did to allow herself to be the ultimate rag doll puppet.

politics @lemmy.world•Why aren’t Democrats talking about climate?
32·3 days agoYou’ve already received well-reasoned and logical answers in this thread as to why this topic is not a viable campaign issue amidst the socioeconomic and existential threats. The man with a gun in a burning house metaphor characterized this election’s mood particularly well, as did the surgeon with burning shoes. Your insistence on trying to make this topic relevant right now reinforces my suspicion that climate guilt is a desperate psyop by right wing operatives to undercut Dem candidates.
Anthropogenic climate change is absolutely a huge issue, but to paraphrase Col. Chris Hadfield, ‘it’s not the thing that’s going to kill you first.’ Clean the house of reactionary fascists, leash the capitalist greed, find steadier economic ground, and then maybe well-reasoned solutions for mitigating climate change can be addressed. Unfortunately, it’s probably all in vain since Gore lost the 2000 election. I wouldn’t be surprised if the instability and grift we’re experiencing currently is only the beginning of the end being wrought by the changing climate. Rifkin’s entropy watershed may already be upon us.

politics @lemmy.world•Why aren’t Democrats talking about climate?
42·3 days agoSounds to me like it’s probably safe to say almost all Dem candidates probably care about it, too. An implicit shared understanding of its importance wouldn’t be a stretch. Dem candidates aren’t trying to win only card-carrying Dem votes, there may be other, more on the fence, demographics. If anyone decides to stay at home for the election because climate didn’t get brought up, then I’m sorry but they ultimately deserve the MAGA world they’d be enabling through their inaction.
All hail Alec. Someday I hope we can force him to be president.

politics @lemmy.world•Why aren’t Democrats talking about climate?
82·3 days agoSecond time I’ve seen this type of question pop up. Feels like a marginally more sophisticated GOP tactic to try to trick an opponent into bringing it up and then flopping hard when they sound hella tone deaf and out of touch. Only an idiot candidate would make this one of their main running points.
Climate change mitigation is super important…Just not right now. Right now the goal is to just fucking win so the GOP and corporate demagogues can be reeled in. Remember, the GOP and techbro technofascists actually want end times to hurry up and happen so they can capitalize on the turmoil (they already have a billion mile head start) or meet Jesus and go to heaven or something. Idk, they’re insane sociopaths with absolutely no tender sentiment toward anyone else. It’s absolutely insane to me how many MAGA pieces of shit there are…makes me want to believe there’s been some huge conspiracy to lace everything with lead to create a critical mass of brain damaged broken angry violent racists.

politics @lemmy.world•Federal judge signals she may halt construction on Trump’s arch
31·3 days agoJust imagine if the arch got built and conformed with this administration’s standards of quality control…during the ribbon cutting ceremony, just as he snaps the scissors (with smaller than typical handles), a large piece of concrete spontaneously spalls off and lands on him and his entourage. The chunk could be called Trump’s Arch Nemesis.

37·3 days ago“Brotherson” is a word I had never expected to learn, and in retrospect one I had hoped to never know.
Edit: The article is vague, so I suppose “sisterdaughter” is another word I can add to the list of words I don’t want to think about.

Well, at least we can always blame immigrants, poor people, and teachers for the financial collapse, just like last time.
Instead of occupying WS, what you think the chances are someone will test its, or silicon valley’s, degree of combustibility?
