Did you know it’s illegal to say “I want to kill the president of the United States of America”?

“What did you learn at school?”

“That life begins at contemplation”

I will note that not everyone got through the last Trump presidency. Clinton would have had an actual response to Covid because she wouldn’t have disbanded the NSC unit that would have saved most of the 1.1 million Americans who died of Covid-19.

The argument I saw for this was that a president shouldn’t have to second guess every action they take while in office. That if they are held liable for everything they do, they may be paralyzed to make changes to the government.

I kinda thought that was kinda what the founders wanted to happen…

Man I just turned 30 on Monday

Yep. The only time I block someone is if they are actually being a dick specifically to me, my family, or my friends.

I noticed that with other threads, or when I edit comments. I’ve accidently pissed off a lot of people 😅

Yea I saw that then deleted my comment…

I remember space camp! I was in 5th grade and they had a 2020 mission to Mars simulator. We all died.

I like to think there was a two way mirror with researchers on one side taking notes. “Don’t send a team on 5th graders to Mars”

Are you a middle age straight man?

I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the most Anakin was burned.

Problem is not even LGBTQ+ people, nor women, nor black people have a real big difference between Biden or Trump. Because at best, Biden is no worse than Trump.

Could you please elaborate?

Yup. People who don’t see the difference between the two are not effected by the difference between the two. I also understand this is for both the negative and positive attributes of each administration.

For Palestinians, I can absolutely sympathize that they see Biden supplying weapons to Israel as much as a Trump doing so. That shouldn’t be ignored.

But on domestic policy, there is a stark contrast in the messaging and vision for LGBTQ folks, women, and black communities.

I hope many in my circle see this, but I have had conversations with self described communists who don’t care at all about minorities. My takeaway was they became communist when they learned they could guillotine people.

Awww for a second I thought the title of the post was the title of the article. Way to get my hopes up 😮‍💨

I’m doing my part!

Agreed, there are lots of instances, and that may be one thing that allows Lemmy to actually have space for different political leanings. As I understand, conservative circles are not very large here, but that can change, and smaller communities generally are healthier. Check those out and recruit your pals- be the change you want to see in the world!

I mean in this case it’s 1/3 your age +6

I remember the way I felt when the railroad strike first ended- it was a smack in the face to the railroad union. He sided against the protesters and ended the protest without giving them what they wanted- sick time off. I thought “dang, Biden is just another in a long line of anti-labor presidents”.

That was big news posted loud and everywhere.

And then only a few months later, and with little fanfare, The Biden administration pressured rail companies to give that sick leave.

Biden (actually Pete Buttigeig) prioritized preventing an immediate logistics crisis over workering conditions, but he didn’t just let it slide off his table. Now we don’t have a logistics crisis and the railroad union has more sick leave. Absolute win.
