Yeah I think im taking a huge step back from lemmy if these are the dominant voices here. At least now I underatand why I constantly found myself disagreeing with them. This is disgusting behavior.
The woman came forward to the NYT earlier to get on record but held back the story until another accuser came forward. She has contemporaneous emails with her therapist dealing with the fallout and people in her life she told the story to around the time it happened who can confirm it, as well as woman she warned after cutting contact with Platner. These allegations are as credible as they get and some of the reactions to this story are frankly disgusting.
Being a leftist is a lot like pointing to a dead canary in a coal mine and having everyone around you say 'well that could mean anything!' but it turns out it was the most probable thing the whole time. It also means saying 'man I would have loved to be wrong' a whole hell of a lot.
Brother the fucking primaries havent evem started and you're starting with the 'you dont get to vote for who you want' shit. You keep giving them cover they'll keep using it to lose elections. Kamala lost every swing state and has never won a single primary delagate via ballot and you're acting like shes inevitable? Kick rocks.
Hitman is just doing his job anyway. That defense seems to work for everyone who does violence in the name of their government. Seems it's the new law of the lands, and if you can't beat em . . .
For the past two or three decades congress has been able to do quite little outside of the massive omnibus budgets, since the budget is the ONE bill they are required by law to produce yearly. Obviously present conditions have worsened this divide but its been years since the govenrment has had any capacity to work together to produce anything in a substantial timeframe. This isnt even taking into account lobbyists and foreign agents from countries that aren't real that direct what small capacity politicians do have for each other to make more wars we don't call wars. The system is broken on multiple fundamental levels, replacing every single candidate and aide wouldn't even be a start.
US voters are left in a modern society that give us less free time than we had even 30 years ago and also pays us less taking into account inflation all with a political system that only works against them.
Idk about that. Every time I'm on an Amateur Radio board even the newest most repeated question is often answerd earnestly by multiple people often with enthusiasm and quality. If a community actually recognizes and accepts that they want to onboard new people, they don't treat new people like burdens.
Democrats loudly and consistently tell us they don't want us in their party though words and actions then they get upset if we don't vote for them. They can swallow a railroad spike for all I care.

Be careful, hes a hero.
We'll have to call it wishful thinking then I suppose
I can only wish he reaps exactly what he sowed.
Quick, someone give a millionaire nepobaby 'political consultant' tons of money so thery can tell us it's okay to keep aligning with billionaires.

Woah the thing the rich people are spending all their money on is to make them more money??????
"You have been executed, this is a warning"
The article acknowledges there is currently a deficit of homes by the millions but claims there will soon be too many?
Sounds to me like an admission our system is dog shit at allocating resources efficiently.
Then it sounds like blood clots are worth taking seriously instead of just hoping they'll end up okay.

Always enough leftitst to blame election losses on, never enough to force negotiation. We see how it is. Demanding our vote? Compromise with us.
They're telling us who they are. This is their club and they're not taking kindly to any change that scares their clubs billionaire donors.

Gotta love how small the 'for' is on their jackets.
Sad to see her become part of the party that needs to be pushed rather than the one doing the pushing.
