Oregon lawmakers pass bill to recriminalize drug possession
  • It sounds to me like they did this to kill the poor faster and make decriminalization look bad originally because they implemented said decriminalization without adaquate social services or addiction resources. I'm not gonna celebrate mentally ill people being locked up and forced to labor for pennies by the state.

  • Biden invites Trump to work together to lobby Congress on an immigration bill as both candidates visit border
  • Which is fucking 2 brain cell, textbook senile xenophobic nonsense. I want fucking healthcare and I already live in a police state, I don't know why anybody thinks gatekeeping migrants from living here is a magical fix to America's problems- a giant wall across mexico just makes us all less free and I fully 100% believe these policies are all about giving the state more control at the end of the day.

  • Biden invites Trump to work together to lobby Congress on an immigration bill as both candidates visit border
  • Ahahaha no. Biden's can't deal with criticism from the left so he's trying to win over the right, like he's done anything but that in his time in office. This is a terrible idea and empowers trump as a person.

  • Gen Z embraces 'safety capitalism', says current social safety net is broken
  • I feel like that's the reason I tend to preach anarchism over communism in general and don't doubt you're right about the statistics and propaganda playing into perception but I can't help but feel like here that comes off as rehabilating the image of capitalism. We can make a softer bed of knives or make one out of foam- I know which one I'm choosing

  • Congressman warns Biden to “wake up” after over 100K Michigan Democrats vote “uncommitted”
  • That's not the reason democrats are barely leftist in 2024- lobbyists funding both wings of the government are. Socialist policies take away power from the corpocracy, so companies put tons of money into making sure that's only a remote possibility -i'd argue there's even been a consistent effort across the aisle to keep discussion as limited as possible to two specific issues: gun control and abortion. Look into the ratchet effect it perfectly describes the situation as I see it.

  • Gen Z embraces 'safety capitalism', says current social safety net is broken
  • Lol "safety capitalism" the editors wouldn't even let them say socialist. Just the state of the world in 2024 -fight harder, people. I personally can't handle what this shit does to my blood pressure anymore

  • lesser of two evils
  • "Not perfect" uhh that's incredibly hyperbolic. A piece of cheese could do just as well as Biden has as president. He's appealed to the right and the banks far more than to the left at a time when issues like those you mentioned desperately need to be addressed ASAP. He's made little strides in the right direction but if you look deeply into any of his policies they're more posturing than anything. I've said it here before but in a reasonable world he'd be running as a Republican. The left can and should disown him given his history, connections and actions.

  • Bumble cuts ~350 employees as dating apps face a reckoning
  • Nah RIP Craigslist personals, it was one of the only safeish places to advertise sex work -imo these services should be state-or-community-funded, free AND respecting of privacy, ideally. Maybe it did need more moderation; but even more so it needed less outrage about the useful connections and exchanges of services it enabled. We should always mourn the old web, sure it was flawed like anything else 20 years ago but it was still faaaaaaar better than the google-ravaged wasteland of today.

  • Something something Biden bad
  • You're wasting your time, I already laid out why. Biden is Saruman, dude, that's my take. I hope I'm wrong, but I think you'll all feel real foolish for defending this guy someday. I hate fascists and that's why I can't settle for Biden; IMHO he's not anti-fascist or progressive enough to put up a good fight. Especially as a individual, thank gods he has some good people on staff but I still look at Biden and think the dude couldn't manage a pretend waffle house, let alone a country. And his track record as senator constantly gets swept under the rug, too. He voted for segragation ffs

  • Something something Biden bad
  • Well I decided when I was like ten that this world is faaaaar too fucked up to bring children into so I can't relate there but going to bat for career politicians online isn't gonna make things any better. Biden has even called himself a capitalist before- I truly believe in my tired heart he's standing in the way of progress a great deal more than he's championing it. I don't waste my time typing out a response here just for fun.

  • Something something Biden bad
  • Well there has to come a point when the second option's just not worth settling for. That analogy is so spot on it hurts that you can't see my point.

  • Something something Biden bad
  • Does there have to be one for joe biden to be bad? I'm sure there's a least a million individual people who could do the job better. At the end of the day I just don't see any reason to defend the guy, he seemingly has no real passion or empathy and is leaving a lot in this country undone or worse for the wear whilst letting the right fearmonger incessantly

  • Something something Biden bad
  • Yes because there are two paths, only two. Revolution is never a option and we should eat ALLLLL the shit they feed us, thankful for scraps as the fires burn more and more intense. 2050? Do you hear yourself? The damage is already irreparable, that's far too late. We need action now and a president who hasn't sold their soul to oil, if such a thing could ever possibly exist. I AM lgbt (trans) and IMHO this is a problem because he's looking out for conservative billionaires instead. I tell you to look at the history because I agree, the Republicans are Nazis... And a centrist left conceded power to them or had it stolen then too.

  • Something something Biden bad
  • Fuck I needed to hear that, thanks. I just believe a lot of Biden voters are relentlessly optimistic and more than a little naive- there's a lot of propaganda afoot lately but I think it's important to talk about my choice too. Obviously we need things like ranked-choice voting for third party votes in this country to make a real difference ASAP but IIRC if a party's candidate gets even 5% of the vote in a election they qualify for some federal funding. I don't think it's impossible to fight for better representation and win in the long run that way.

  • Something something Biden bad
  • The electoral Congress decides who's president, though. Why shouldn't I as a far-leftist vote third party to express my discontentment with a democratic party that only wants to appeal to the right? I'm tired of people telling me Biden is good enough when we had a actual progressive who had a shot just a few years ago. The climate can't wait, and the Palestinian people certainly can't. A placid, centrist left in the face of fascism looks useless to me I'm not sorry. Read a fucking history book.

  • Michigan governor says not voting for Biden over Gaza war ‘supports second Trump term’
  • No, the democrats are doing exactly that by sticking with Biden- instead of a combative, progressive anti-trump agenda we get Trump's agenda either way. He has been AWFUL on the border and not much better on climate change. His VP is a transphobic cop. He curbstomped Bernie sander's movement through friends in high places and ruined our chance at a decent healthcare system all the while constantly appealing to the right. Let me hate the guy ffs

  • Michigan governor says not voting for Biden over Gaza war ‘supports second Trump term’
  • Both candidates are establismentarian ASF and represent the oligarchs FAR more than any everyday American. I am not a "concern troll" I'm a leftist with concerns and I'll be voting third party, (most likely green) as a matter of principle. I've done this my entire adult life- you aren't changing my mind in a million years. I legitimately think he's too old, too right-wing, and too corrupt. Dude should just be running as a Republican tbqh.

  • Michigan governor says not voting for Biden over Gaza war ‘supports second Trump term’
  • Lol this tribalism is ridiculous. Biden had one job, to be different than the genocide guy. I don't care about the complexity of the issue here, but when our choices are both establishment warmongers it's not really a choice is it? Is it really that big of a ask not to fund the eradication of a group of people and a nationalist government? That should be the bare minimum for a "leftist" candidate IMHO and it's depressing how the goalpost landed here of all places

  • happy maladay!

    Celebrate malaclypse the elder today! Should I move this to community to a different host? What's your favorite kind of toast? Who do you hate the most? Is malaclypse the elder a ghost? Is that something of which to boast? It doesn't matter, próst!
