This was starting to sound like the next rendition of "we didn't start the fire"

SalamenceFury@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 322d (2 replies)

As the Fall Out Boy version of it says...

We didn't start the fire

It was always burning since the world's been turning

We didn't start the fire

No, we didn't light it but we're trying to fight it

I totally thought those were the lyrics in the original until now

SalamenceFury@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 322d

Nope! They're different on purpose, symbolizing that Fall Out Boy still has hope for the future. My GOATs.

You could probably do a 21st century cover. Enough random crap has happened over the last 25 years that there's probably more than enough content.

SalamenceFury@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 322d

Fall Out Boy already did it back in 2023! And yes, it's awesome. And they alter a bit of the lyrics of the chorus to give it a more hopeful tone!

California approves Prop 50.

charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 322d (2 replies)

I like how California has a proposition thing and Texas politicians just do it. Just kidding, I don't like that.

DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 322d (1 reply)

I like that it make republicans seem less legitimate, they do dictator shit while California has to ask for permission, making California's response look much more legitimate.

miked@piefed.social · 2 pts · 321d

Don't forget California's response has a built in timer.

Fuck trump, fuck maga and fuck the oligarchs that support them.

I agree, which is why we should be happy tonight because theyre going to be pissed in the morning

zabadoh@ani.social · 20 pts · 322d

And fuck all the establishment Democrats who actively worked against Mamdani!

Damn, this is a stylish as hell post. This is the first post I've seen on my Lemmy feed about Mamdani's victory, and I love that. This is like a more joyful version of when diligent Wikipedians edit a repugnant person's article to use "was" promptly after their death

Hell yeah!! Having a drink to celebrate from Ontario, Canada. Hopefully he can inspire other politicians and show that the true left exists and can win elections

... also push back against the communist / socialist trope that they steal from everyone.

ilinamorato@lemmy.world · 42 pts · 322d

Whoa. He got, not a plurality, but a majority.

Against basically all the money in the US, he got more than half of voters to agree on something.

That's telling.

SalamenceFury@lemmy.world · 37 pts · 322d

Mamdani is elected mayor, and Dick Cheney fucking croaks. Today is excellent.

PP_BOY_@lemmy.world · 34 pts · 322d

Sipping cognac in Tennessee tonight yall. A big fuck you to the MAGAts out there from the bottom of my asshole
