This is liberalism 101. If it helps the poor and costs money, they’ll means test it until its underfunded and scrap it.
I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
All Cops Are Bastards. Including your relative. All Nations Are Illegitimate. All Borders are Bullshit. Including yours.

It has your back by… Not protecting you or me or your friends. Or not pushing Congress to keep Title IX in place and expanding LGBTQ rights.
Trump is worse but let’s not pretend that Harris loves us.
Every trans person I know hated Harris throwing them under the bus to appease Republican hillbillies who would never vote for Harris.
And they also hated Harris’s treatment of trans inmates, forcing them to be with their sex, not their gender. Which got them killed.
But sure, I guess her record for years and the months leading up to the election don’t matter. Maybe she would have protected them in office.
Oh wait no she said she’d follow state laws. The ones that enable enmass dysphoria and social murder.
Using ablesist terms makes you look like a douchebag.
One has given citations proving you wrong. One hasn’t proven themselves.
I’m gonna go with citations.
I’ll be amazed if they can read any of that and not go “erm actually that disagrees with my propaganda, I’m gonna call that fake news.”
That sounds like PugJesus and transphobia.world. “Vaguely leftist” my ass.
It should be free. Don’t charge for life saving medicine.
“Why do people call us Blue MAGA? We only want border cages and genocide when it’s our team doing it!”
Here’s the neat part, we’re not allowed any criticism to the Dems! As it’s always election season or post election season.
So there’s no time, just blindly accept who the DNC put forward without listening to the people they say they like!
“But he said something vaguely positive, that’s exactly like legal enforcement of their rights!”
All those left wing policies being implemented like:
They like the optics of leaving reddit, but like the ability to spew bigotry on flat.world and act like it’s their digital 1st amendment rights.
Democrats hugely benefit from FPTP so they will never advocate for replacing it.
Key point, Newsom of California vetoed a bill to enable more ways to vote then just FPTP.
FPTP is in the benefit of both parties. It rallies and polarizes so any other idea besides “Let’s not find war, let’s fund education and help people” is considered too unpopular to win.
If the people who shill that change is impossible in a FPTP system could read anything that doesn’t agree with the propaganda the state loves, they’d be very upset.
Never forget that Republicans were a third party at one time. They weren’t even on the ballot for most states in 1860, due to their abolitionist policies.
It’s 2025, no longer the Democrats vs the Whigs. But I guess no one has read history books either.
I had an interaction with one of their mods and it was very disappointing to see them so confidently on the side of silencing voices speaking up about genocide.
Was it JeffW or JordanLund? Both of those dudes can’t help defend genocide. Especially JL, he openly hates Black Lives Matter.
Sometimes I get the feeling lemmy.world is run by a bunch of centrists who’s hobby it is to undermine leftism because they are afraid of leftwing beliefs exactly the way pathetic conservatives are, and it makes it hard to take the entire community seriously.
And they call us the Russian Psyop/bot. I’ve had so many people say things like “I’m a leftist, but [defending the most conservative positions possible].” At least .ml is honest in their intentions.
Some of the prominent very active low effort posters like Pugjesus have absolutely trash views when you actually get into a conversation about their beliefs.
And he’s so fucking smug! He will defend his trash opinions, say he’s the smartest one in the room, and then act like he’s the victim when he says something like “I don’t think you should ally with these people when ICE comes knocking” or “I don’t have to respect the pronouns of people I don’t like.”
Lemmy.world is a majority of my blocklist. I like a handful of users from it. But the mods and admins have cultivated a inverted MAGA mentalitt around themselves. Anytime you critize their favorite thing, you’ll be banned and blocked. And then they claim it’s evil when .ml does the exact same thing.
AOC makes Trump and his shit-lickers afraid. Pelosi and Schumer don’t spark any fear.
And the DNC keeps the ones who he can rally around the flag to blame for anything bad. Because no one really likes Pelosi and Schumer. People like AOC.
Remember when calling them weird was working, making them cower and the media loved it? And then they just… Stopped because how dare anyone be rude to fascists.
Mao had the right idea about landlords because they all act like you.
“Why do something people want, I wanna win an election!”
