So if this guy somehow ends up the Dem nominee in 2028, exactly what do we do?

I mean I won't support him but I don't have hope that enough folks will have a backbone and will keep letting the Dems slide further right.

Bonus:

I don't understand this play. Like, right-wingers aren't going vote for you Newsom, so why alienate people that potentially would?

Maybe he want the thoses votes from the 90% that think this "trans " crap has gone too far.

Kyuuji always in these men's discussions threads. Funny that.

I'm sure it's rough with so many things aimed at dragging them down some right-wing sinkhole. There is an obvious and open appeal there when it comes to being told you're inherently better than half the population of the world.

Then again when I consider the threat of abortion restrictions, pregnancy tracking, a stark increase in extremist misogyny and a pull back to gender norms I'm more concerned with young women at this point.

Yeah, an obvious appeal. Like, it might even reach a point where someone would be tempted to "hop the fence", so to speak, to gain those perceived benefits.

Anyway here's an unrelated post from a different thread that I am adding for no reason in particular.

Women are empirically better than man, pretty much no matter what metric you use.

Oh look, a thread on struggles men can face. Better bring women back into the spotlight.

Fuck guys, Booshka of all people won’t support Newsom if he was the 2028 Dem nominee….we need to do some serious soul-searching.

While I think that voting for Trump because Trans shit and DEI is stupid, the Trans stuff is still a silly thing to stand behind in the leftist/liberal space. 

LGB advocates should really, really, take a look at the state of the community and just not let George Takei parrot outdated talking points from a community that behavior and ideology has changed for the worse. Maybe they feel is a slippery slope to let them be eaten by the wolves, but they are also an easy bogeyman for the right and Trump.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/ice-detaining-german-tourist-in-california-indefinitely.1126794/#post-136662624

On a visa for tourism or work no problem. The visa waiver system allows you to travel for tourism only for 90 days or to do business for your non USA company inside the USA but not be paid and work in the USA. It's a simple $14 and short online form to fill out for waiver approval which is why most do that and not visas which takes months. But if they planned to work and didn't get a visa sadly that's a risk where the USA would not approve. Of course they should have deported her home not locked her up for a month in that case.

OP Kunty the Dumb Cunt responds..

I don't think it's confirmed she was. She's a tattoo artist and her friend is a designer so it could have been as simple as wanting to tattoo herself or her friend as they travelled.

According to KPBS, US Customs and Border Protection accused Brösche of planning to violate the terms of the visa waiver program by intending to work as a tattoo artist during her time in Los Angeles.

He didn't even read his own article   Why don't they at least read the shit they post?

More proof they don't know what the fuck they are sperging about.

lol

the fact that it happened to two german people so close in time makes me think this is being done deliberately to make some fucked up geopolitical point

I thought the same thing which is terrifying.

[Boredfrom]

You're talking to a wall. Some would rather rage at non-voters and Muslims in Dearborn Michigan who were seeing their families literally slaughtered by the IDF than ever look at the Democratic party and say "maybe this isn't working."

 

Why people should feel bad that a community, that refuses to compromise and will be 100% conservative if it was not for the GOP bigotry, decided to vote against their best interests because they got swindled by a guy that was dehumanizing them 8 years ago?

Americans are done with incrementalism.

People don’t want accelerationism either. 

And Democrats clearly have not learned. And no I don't have all the answers either, but I sure as shit know that it's not working. And I'm sure when the midterms come and the Democrats make some gains because Trump's fucking insanity will impact the Republican party at some point soon, people will be like "see" and then this whole thing will repeat itself over and over again.

“Don’t criticize me for not voting.”

Again, Americans can argue about past inaction somewhere else. This thread is about the heinous thing your government is currently doing to some actual victims.

What action are you taking now?

Y'know, this is interesting for a couple reasons.

One: it was basically disallowed to "discuss past inaction" prior to the inaction taking place. Anyone who said FU to retarded non-voters got banned...so if you can't talk about it before, and you can't talk about it after then...???

Two: there's this reiterated sentiment "black women saved us again" over there, usually in the sense that it is unfair to rely on them bear the burden of electing leftist candidates over and over. The implication being that there needs to be greater participation in the franchise, because you can't rely on black women forever. How is that much different than this, where we have a bunch of non-voters, republican voters (in the case of the dearborn muslim peeps), and literal non-americans point at people who, y'know, actually pulled the correct lever and say "well what are you doing now, hm?!"

Beyond disgusting and to be quite honest, a precursor to a global war if this shit isn't completely severed and cauterised in the next 4 years.

"They didn't completely appease my personal requirements so I am totally okay with letting Fanta Hitler in and everything he does" was the vibe I was picking up from this forum largely last year. This is why people shout down others on forums like this that clearly don't understand how politics and the very political nature of how modern civilisation works. You can't just slink back in with shifty eyes and blabber "but i didn't do this!". There were leaders of this forum campaigning for people not to vote. The barrel's bottom was punched all the way through. But funnily enough due to the way forums like these have evolved, you're not allowed to be perfectly honest with the situation because caught feels are an epidemic.

Also, considering America prides itself on its civil war history over *checks notes* tax evasion and saying no monarchs, things seem oddly civil now over back to back war crimes and the erosion of every single function of the country.

Modpost to stop the wrongthink. We're gonna be seeing a lot of this between now and 2028.

Can we please get back onto the topic at and, which is not the election of 2024!

Isn't a big argument about the tariffs that they hurt your own economy too? So he wants Mexico to hurt its own economy out of pure principle? That seems dumb and counterintuitive to the negotiation going on.

Anyway no corpo is coming to save us but both of my parents worked at Target Corp when I was a kid in the late 90s and had a number of queer friends from work as Target was a desirable place to work as they offered more benefits and protection to queer people at the time. Having those people attending our big 4th of July or Holiday parties really helped normalize queerness for me and made it easier for me to recognize my own in the future.

Wait. What did George Lucas do?

The prequels. I looked a little and that's why this dude hates him, thinks Disney saved Star Wars until Rise of Skywalker ruined it. Though also that Lucas wrote Raiders which has a problematic age thing in it. In a few minutes I couldn't find the explanation for Aaron Sorkin though, but I think we all know the correct answer would be everything except Sports Night.

Funny enough in the replies there were people discussing if people just hate Liz Cheney because they assume she did the Iraq War because her dad did. Someone pointed out that she agrees with Trump on everything but the 2020 election/Jan 6th/etc. and voted with Trump more often than 95% of GOP members. Everyone ignored this to talk about the other theory of why people hate Liz Cheney.

Do you struggle with snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? Let the experts at ResetEra show you how!

Headline: Supreme Court order US Gov't to pay out on Foreign Aid Contracts
https://www.resetera.com/threads/chief-justice-john-roberts-of-scotus-pauses-order-for-trump-admin-to-pay-2-billion-in-foreign-aid-update-sides-with-lower-court-5-4-gov-must-pay.1120119/

This doesn't bode well for future rulings on basically everything the trump administration is doing. This was just the bare fucking minimum and we got a fucking 5-4 split

4 dissented to paying people what they're owed?

God help us when the court has to rule on the federal workers firings.

This is kind of why I'm not expecting courts to save us from Trump. The Supreme Court is crooked and only get more crooked given Trump has 4 years to instate new justices if any of the older ones passes on.

There is no hope for this country's future if even the highest court in the land is barely able to force payments for completed work. Why the hell would anyone want to invest in a place where a signed contract is so close to being rendered utterly meaningless?

We got what we wanted from people we considered to be our enemies...we're doomed!!!

The amusing thing is this isn't what they split over. They split over whether or not a single judge can issue a nationwide injunction, they made no ruling at all on the payments or anything else, they even punted the second procedural question. And I could have told you that would have been the split if you told me the issue before hand, Roberts + Democrat 3 was a lock, the question was ACB and Kavanaugh as the other Republican 3 were known to be against them. ACB siding with Roberts and Kavanagh going the other way is unsurprising as they do this often on procedural questions.

They don't even realize that nationwide injunctions are entirely new and only something started during Trump I, that then they were upset about Rethug judges doing to Biden. There's no ideological agreement about whether or not these are legit, except that Democrats are slightly more favorable to them because they're more favorable to judges being able to have power like this. Thomas would have opposed them for any reason and Alito's opposition is pretty obvious knowing him. Roberts probably doesn't like them but he's loathe to decide anything so looking the other way on them is pretty obvious.

Nationwide injunctions are where a single judge, located anywhere in the country, has a friendly group bring a case asking him to stop something and he orders the entire federal government to no longer do it. And that's it, that's the case, there's no hearings or anything. So if Biden orders everyone to take Trump's big beautiful vaccine, some judge in fascist Florida can say "no, you can't" and the feds can't continue. Or maybe Trump wants to do a federal gun ban, well, some gun group can go to a judge in fascist Texas and they can block it. Or maybe Elon orders it illegal to not embed Twitter posts on video game forums, so ResetERA.com goes to a judge in New York and gets this blocked. You can see why people on all sides both like and are uncomfortable with these.

The idea of everyone fighting without knowing why doesn't work in a Civil War film imo. Say something.

What were the reasons people in the first Civil War were fighting? You clearly don't know because I'm going to assume you think everyone in the North wanted to end slavery even as Lincoln explicitly said this wasn't a reason they were fighting.

The other side thinks the same thing, that the problem is RINOs and true conservatism would lead to supermajorities. Or well, now it's true MAGA which may not be conservative at all.

You have to realize that none of these people ever consider that their own views aren't the true views of everyone else. This is why the "false consciousness" theory entices them so much, it tells them that they know what other people believe even better than those people. They have been granted the divine vision of what God desires and it is their duty to impart it to everyone else, especially those who don't know enough to know that they really want it.

To be fair, it does make a lot of sense if your theory of organizing is that you need to come to power through a small radical cell with divine access to knowledge doing a violent seizure of power that will then use the state to impose utopia on everyone by force. It's not like any of the CCP, CPSU, NSDAP, WPK, Derg, etc. came to power through winning a majority in an election so why would you think your revolution would be burdened by that?

anyone with a brain and an ounce of foresight would tell you the GOP would be using women's sports as a wedge issue to erode human rights

instead of coming together with a unified message against it as a talking point, the Dems waived it off and let the GOP build on it over and over for YEARS

the fact that they STILL don't have a proper counter message across the party is frankly gross

Well Shit4Brains, maybe instead of grifting for other lazy fucks you could come up with one. Or just keep bitching on ResetERA.   ResetEra is full of people that want shit but wont lift a finger to help their own cause.
