Nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing. You fucking lost to the fascist the first time around and paved the way for his ascent to power. You are a HUGE fucking factor in how we got to where we are now.

She is a fascist herself who led the unilateral intervention on Libya that lead to the unnecessary deaths of 50k people in a civil war that didn't need to happen, architected the pivot to Asia which will lead to WW3, and "promoted" LGBT rights internationally in a way that got LGBT people thrown under the bus world wide as a side effect of resisting American imperial power.

Probably wouldnt have trump today if it wasnt for the DNC sabotaging all the popular candidates to shove hilary down our throats.
No one wanted hilary.
and remember, Trump didnt even want to win. He just wanted to use running as a springboard for more attention. He was, by all accounts, upset with his intitial win because of how he felt he'd be restricted by the white house.. granted all thats long since been gone since he learned how to manipulate the office to his favor (especially with charging the SS 4x more than anyone else for his weekly trips to maralago..) in his first time, and how hes fucking destroyed the country with his second with how he has undermined everything to go full narcoleptic cartman.

I think there were people who wanted Hillary, in the sense that they were perfectly fine with settling for her. But, there weren't many people who were passionate supporters, and there were a lot of people who hated her. And, the way her campaign was run reflected that. It was basically "Hillary: what are you gonna do, vote for the other guy?"
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 275d
And thats exactly what they did.. because she cared more about catering to billionaires, holding secret meetings behind massive white noise generating speakers so no one could hear what was being said, than she cared about campaigning.. Which is why she lost every state she couldnt even be bothered to make a single appearance in.
People want to blame trump for everything, but Hilary being a shit, arrogant candidate that walked around like gods gift to freedom was absolutely a big part in trump winning.
Because she couldnt even pretend to give a fuck.

Hey I don't like HRC but this take is pants on head unhinged. Shes not doing anti-LGBT 4D chess, she was just narcissistic/delusional to think she'd be anywhere charismatic enough to convince people internationally to treat LGBT people better.
Do people in the global south & developing world have agency? Or are they simpletons being manipulated by grand puppet masters? If the answer is they have agency, the bigots that live in those places should own their bigotry and you shouldn't do apologia for them. If the answer is they are simpletons well... ok.

Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 279d
I'll say she did it on purpose. There is no such thing as an unintended negative consequence of democrats' actions. Not one. If they wanted to get the benefit of the doubt, they shouldn't have supported genocide. They'll need a lot of action to fix that. Not words. Democrats have demonstrated how worthless their words are.

Americans in very specific swing states in manipulated elections voted for Trump. Hilary actually won that election by several million votes. The USA is not a democracy and blaming voters is really a pathetic and wrong understanding of politics.

Ah yes, when it's Russia then every Russian should suffer for not overthrowing Putin. But when it's the US, Hillary actually won and “it wasn't me” anyway, and blaming voters is pathetic.
hamid@crazypeople.online · 2 pts · 279d
Blaming voters for not voting the right way is in fact pathetic, because their elections are fake. They couldn't have voted differently because their votes don't matter. I blame Americans but not for the reasons they were suggesting. I absolutely think that people in the US shouldn't bother to vote and should instead destroy their fake democracy and settler colony. The USA is worse than Russia in every way. It is in fact the US who over threw the Russian government and installed Putin, it is amazing how they think it is the other way around

How would that have made her win? Her policy, and the history of the Democratic Party in contrast to the republicans is that she would be better for the people. Better is better. It doesn't matter how much really. If people wanted better, they would already vote for her.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 279d
She was such a bad candidate that she personally couldn't win no matter how far to the right she went. She might have stood a better chance if she treated the left flank of the party like she actually needed their votes.

You can't vote your way out of this shit, even if you elect the greatest people ever to live, the entire system is built up with entrenched elites. The military, the media, the intelligence services, the judiciary, lobbyists, and so on. And people can be corrupt and selfish even if they start with good intentions.
There is only one solution: revolution.
luciferofastora@feddit.org · 2 pts · 279d
And how would you go about that revolution?
Voter frustration is a more powerful support than voter apathy. Not voting leaves you with no target to be pissed at; having your vote betrayed provides your anger with direction.
Voting may not be the solution, but it's a tool for communicating and establishing public sentiment, and public sentiment is what separates revolution from a coup.
bearboiblake@pawb.social · 1 pts · 279d
By building a people powered movement through solidarity, establishing workers co-operatives, industrial unionization, pro-revolutionary social spaces and through direct action. As the working class becomes increasingly organized and class conscious, we can increasingly reject capitalism and the state. If the working class refuses to perform labor for the ruling class, in an ideal world, we can remove them from power without a single loss of life. In reality, they would use violence against us, so we would need to be ready to defend ourselves.
By all means, vote away, under our current system, it can be viewed as harm reduction. But if you have time and energy to spare, that time and energy would be far better spent agitating for real change and engaging in the activities I mentioned above.
Vitally, learn about anarchism, and how it presents a solution to our deeply, fundamentally broken society.

Do you have concrete suggestions for what I personally could do? I often read these things online, but it feels like buzzwords and technical terms thrown around in the expectation that they should mean something to the audience, but I'm not sure they do.
What I mostly do so far is try to sprinkle offhand comments into conversations to (hopefully) sow seeds of class consciousness without actually getting preachy and pushing people away. I don't know how much that helps.
I've had the anarchist FAQ tab open in my browser since forever, but I find it hard to read and work (by design) often leaves me too tired to meaningfully engage with it.
This circles back into the issue of not knowing what to do: dedicated articles tend to be heavy on quotes, arguments why it's important and general principles. I don't need convincing, I need direction.
bearboiblake@pawb.social · 1 pts · 278d
Sure, my suggestion would be to join the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) and get involved locally with them or some other direct action group in your area.
Hopefully where you live there is already a group of people doing these things and they can help you get more into it.

Why do you think there is always suck outrage at “TikTok”? For all the reasons it sucks, they had far less control over TikTok than the other platforms, and it scared the shit out of them.
America has been using our labor and wealth to do genocide and imperialism since the fall of the Nazis (edit:’far longer at home but we weren’t such prolific exporters until then) and they have mostly kept the wool over our eyes, but their little project has gotten out of hand and now it’s too ridiculous to hide.

The article is from December 2nd, though maybe the conference is from much earlier, so barring that... The fucking UN said on September 16th that "Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip." It's absolutely infuriating that people are still viewing this as something controversial or debatable. I was naively hoping that once the UN used the big G word (genocide) that more moderate politicians (being incredibly generous calling them moderate) would finally start acting like it's a genocide.

Hillary Clinton: People are learning about what happened on October 7th from social media. Some of it is totally made up, some of it not at all representing what they claim to be showing. It’s a serious problem for democracy. Headline: Hillary Clinton Says Young Americans Are Pro-Palestine Because They Watch ‘Totally Made Up’ Videos of Gaza Horrors. Lemmy: Fuck Hillary Clinton. Also, MAGA are fueled by fake stuff they see on social media. Also, we can't trust mainstream media.
It's not a matter of being pro-Palestinian, or even who's right. It's a matter of being able to have a conversation with enough common ground.

It's pretty clear that this is a denial, I suggest you listen to her speak.
From the article:
If that's not a denial, what is? Even if there is some amount of propaganda, it's undeniable the horrors that have occurred. It's not pure propaganda and she failed to speak to what actually has occurred.
This is literally the same thing as holocaust denial. She's claiming to be an authority of the history of the region, when in reality the history doesn't invalidate or excuse what has occurred for over two years against an occupied people.

She includes the actual day of October 7th, and the only possible social media disinformation that day would have been anti-Palestinian, there was like no videos of Israel doing anything vaguely questionable on that day.
She avoids claiming it's only one side or the other. Zionists could accuse her of October 7th denial just as easily.
M1ch431@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 279d
I suggest you re-read the article/listen to her speak because she is clearly taking a side. What she's speaking to is not limited to that day, to the best of my knowledge. If you disagree with the coverage or find it inaccurate, feel free to point out the inconsistencies or distortions.
jj4211@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 279d
I didn't listen, but I read and reread and the thread started with a quote showing the inconsistency and I repeated it highlighting specifically where it could cut the other way.
She carefully avoided taking a side other than social media is full of disinformation. Going for an agonizingly centrist position that fails to condemn either side as bad.
jimbroof@lemmy.zip · -3 pts · 279d
Here's a hypothetical example of what a denial might look like:
The main difference between the two is that the former statements (attributed to Clinton) are fairly accurate and ostensibly made in good faith, whereas the latter statements (the hypothetical example) are not accurate and have the appearance of intentionally creating a false narrative.
To be clear, I think Hillary is a dogshit human being and I think Israel is committing war crimes every day as they continue to murder civilians with the aid of American military tech and funding. But Hillary isn't saying anything that crazy here, or at least not in the actual quotes written in the article.
M1ch431@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 279d
Respectfully, saying, "what they were being told on social media was not just one-sided, it was pure propaganda." is what makes this denial. It's fine if you disagree.

You're right, I didn't refute. Wrong word used there. i was asking for receipt, because saying .world is not a receipt. If I accused you of doing the same thing the guy accused these people of, would you accept if the only receipt I used is the fact that you're a .world account?
I never said they didn't do the thing they're being accused of, I just have a better standard of proof than what server they started their Lemmy account in. Turns out you didn't, so I am quite disappointed in you.
But it's not too late. The people who are responsible in your assertion are still alive and still doubling down on the genocide, so by what metric are you measuring the people here who are already acting against genocide before your prediction has come true? It doesn't seem like you thought your logic through.

You would've been right if things changed since then, but no, Hillary has been the same for decades now. She was always a slimy politician that stood for nothing. She always flipped flopped her stances overnight to whatever is more politically convenient for her. She was always knee deep in war crimes, lies, and corruption. What new information could have possible been acquired over the past decade that wasn't available prior? The point is that the same people who used to support her, defend her, and campaign for her now swear that they never supported her in the first place. It's a demonstration of inconsistent principles, not growth.

Not I. I still remember the days leading to her campaign where she jumped on the "Video games need rating limits, this Grand Theft Auto game proves kids are buying games they sre too young for" train. Then the entire DNC got quiet when the ESRB spoke out and said, "WTF do you think we've been doing? Kids can't unless their parents or stores stop letting them. Proved to me she is just another damn puppet to tow the line and induce fear and false outrage.

She's the type of slimy politician that stands for nothing. She used to be very vocal under the Bush years about how she opposed gay marriage. However, the moment it become politically convenient for her to switch sides, she did and became pro gay marriage overnight. I wouldn't be surprised that if she got another shot at public office again and the social climate was again against gay marriage that she would do a 180 yet again.

I guess USA was lucky not electing her in 2016. I mean, not that Trump was great but this piece of shit, genocide denayer doesn't deserve to be anything but ridiculed and shamed for her claims.

She's right. I'm sure Lemmy users will be happy to learn this and will in the future look at online content with a more critical and discerning eye.

i am glad i discovered the user tagging feature, it helps me realize that all the pro palestine genocide posts belong to very few actual users and genocide apologia overall is from a vanishingly small minority

I assumed this person was being sarcastic, but I realize you can't take anything for granted these days.

Except for the important fact that the videos are not "totally made up".

I can't tell if serious or sarcasm.

My point exactly. Over the last 40-50 years, pro-Palestinian news bytes have shown one thing: the Palestine cause is great at marketing, especially to young people. However, this doesn’t mean Israel has a clean vest… it simply shows the complexity of the conflict and that only a two state solution might get this solved.

Great at marketing? You call appeals to the humanity of people being systematically ethnically cleansed or genocided is...marketing? Are the videos of dismembered children marketing?
Get your two stater, Israel apologist ass out of here.

That's what happens when you genuinely can't imagine that people who aren't you are capable of experiencing suffering.

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about? The fucking satellite imagery showing half the strip being reduced to rubble isn't made up.
Absolutely not. Palestinians and pro-Palestinians are absolutely terrible at marketing. There's a reason that with few exceptions the only places where Zionism didn't find purchase were the ones where people were reading about the Nakba in the daily newspaper and it took a livestreamed genocide for anti-Zionism to become something resembling mainstream elsewhere.
Nothing is complex about this.
