Let’s see, would Trump be better for Palestinians? To the extent we should work to get him elected versus Harris over this issue? Well, one would have to be incredibly stupid or just a trump supporter or both to think that. Trump would come with a bonus of a few different genocides - Ukraine, Central American immigrants to the US, trans people - and absolutely continue finding and supporting Israel. So what’s your point exactly?

No, I’m going on what Trump and dozens of high level Republicans have very clearly stated about the current war, as well as the long history of Republicans supporting Israel with funds and weapons. That isn’t speculation at all.

Not precisely as I mentioned public ownership of some industries and services that are privately owned. Healthcare and drug production would be two good examples.

Defeatist because I’m not pushing for full communism or are you referring to something else?

• practical: I don’t have any delusions that the US will implement leftism more extreme than EU style socialist policies any time soon
• American: I’m from the US
• socialist: I feel the government should be involved more in regulating industries, owning certain categories of services, moderating excess wealth, and ensuring the financial/economic well-being of citizens, as opposed to the conservative style which is basically ‘well, if you’re poor then fuck off’.

I guess but it depends which one. Whatever the fuck is wrong with Trump as far as his mental/personality disorders is disqualifying.

I’m more of a practical American socialist than a radical communist (since that’s unlikely to happen here) but it offends me because republicans are just so ignorant. The average Republican essentially has no idea what socialism, communism or fascism actually are, and conservatives have been using this as a scary label for my entire life.

I’ve noticed “leftists” on Lemmy are reeeeaaallly confused about US politics.

It’s more about immature and angsty dorks than “challenging misperceptions”

nice, it only took them 10 years or so

“ disorders” like being a malignant narcissist? Raging and flailing in wrath and desire for vengeance? Maybe not the best idea.

Smear campaign? He is and always has been the smear. The dude is incredibly vile in every way possible and always has been.

Danald Tramp never would have sent weapons to Israel, you’re right!

Jones is a deranged liar though. It’s far more believable that Trump has poor hygiene than his histrionic idiocy about Obama.

I don’t know where you live so I don’t have any relevant suggestions, sorry.

Not by voting for people in elections they can’t win. Vote at the local and state level or in primaries for people who will enact voting reform.

I’m often astonished by just how odious and unlikable conservative commentators are and wonder how anyone can seriously watch the people on Fox and people like Trump, Charlie Kirk or Dan Bongino and think “yeah! I like and trust this person!”

There’s one photo where she has a slight protrusion in a tight dress… and it looks like, you know, her vulva. I swear these people have never really seen a woman naked in person. You’d figure they’d at least get a clue from porn.

I’d love to see this happen to the deluded fucknuts obsessed with the same about Michelle Obama.

On the flip side, imagine voting for someone because Ben Shapiro is doing so.
