And… Hilary was right.

(not so coincidentally, that is the name of my wifi network in my red neighborhood, so it can be seen!)

Edit2: words, format

The 2016 Russiagate smears because she lost to Trump…

The DNC and the politicians bought by the owner-class are the ones pushing out these long-time Democrats.

Tulsi was for Bernie Sanders; I wonder what could have caused such a big shift.

I suggest learning more from independent journalists and not just from owner-class media.

If you paid literally any attention to Tulsi Gabbard before she rebelled against the DNC, this new turn would not be so confusing to you. She was an anti-gay activist and pro-drone strike Fox News guest before she had a brief dalliance with the anti-establishment left.

Tulsi Gabbard before she rebelled against the DNC

“If you paid literally any attention” to the presidential debates, you would know she was pushing for Bernie Sanders policies as well.

Culture wars and identity politics will always divide the working class, and I will not disagree with you about that.

Tulsi said she was against regime change wars, but yes, she has the status quo policies on our forever wars and regime change wars. I agree again.

Oh, fuck off, man. It doesn’t take a fucking genius, let alone someone as smug as you, to see how much of a piece of shit she’s always been.

Following the owner-class talking points and smears.

It’s not hard to tell who falls for the Blue MAGA talking points every four years, with their continuous fear mongerging to sway any dissidence.

I am against the duopoly, and I will proudly support third parties that are for the working class.

Echo chambers and self-censorship do not help the working class.

Diverse ideas and thoughts are needed in Lemmy, even if they may be seen as controversial or extreme from the status quo point of view.

Most posts on Lemmy are from owner-class media and the duopoly talking points.

Feel free to join in self-censorship, but I don’t think that is healthy for the working class.

Guys please stop arguing with this disingenuous accelerationist. They clearly give zero fucks about actually making the world better or improving conditions for real people, they’re just here to cosplay revolutionary and support the conservative status quo.

Don’t engage with them, just block them.

Don’t block people like this, that just amplifies their voice. Call them out.

“Independent journalists,” but he posts a fuckload of podcasts from far right radical propagandists. I think I prefer fact-based journalism to brainwashing myself, thanks though.

About what?

That Republicans were grooming her. She was effectively a DINO when she ran in 2020 (though she did eventually endorse Biden).

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
