@HELLLLHOOOOLE @attheimax I actually thought about trying to discuss with you further in good faith. But actually…maybe go fuck yourself?

@hcs862 @attheimax you have deranged yourself by being on the computer
English
it is of course very simple: there were campus protests under biden because people hoped they had a receptive audience in power and there are none now because they know they don’t; now, thing is, the first part turned out to be incorrect
English
@LikeAPhoenician @attheimax You tried to hold the entire Democratic Party hostage over one issue, carried through on your threat, and are now trying to disavow the consequences. Own it…you wanted this, you got it. In other words fuck you
English
@hcs862 @attheimax yes dipshit, that was literally the whole point
English
@HELLLLHOOOOLE @attheimax Civil Rights movement was about principles and changing minds and hearts. Ofc all of that flows into lawmaking, etc, otherwise what’s the point? W/r/t Gaza & dirtbag left, their abandonment of any activism during Trump admin shows their lack of principles, heart and conviction.
English
@hcs862 @attheimax the history of the civil rights movement is a history of activism pressuring the state to act, particularly against segregation. this *was* why many activists protested, and it worked. you might be critical of that possibility now but you should at least understand what happened
English
@QueenMab87 So wait that gives a permission slip to the dirtbag left to only protest against Democratic administrations? Because that’s what it seems like you’re saying
English
Rosa Parks was a professional activist with an organization of activists behind her. Her arrest was planned and there was logistical support at the ready. The Civil Rights movement wasn’t a few scared college kids
Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER)@speechboy71
Good point. I mean, after Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955 the civil rights movement pretty much went home never to be heard from again.

A deeply divided American public has reached a new level of polarisation — for the first time in the last century a war has been fought with a majority of the public against it from start to finish. #TheTimes

@attheimax And to follow up, do you think the Dems have people’s backs by fighting for a minimum wage hike, healthcare, SNAP benefits, Medicare and Medicaid benefits, fighting ICE, fighting imperialism in starting wars, and on. Cause I do. I guess you prefer Trump you asshole
English
one of the results of this is the vague but broad protest movement we still do have, which, while it remains mostly unspoken, is premised on the suspicion that dems really don’t have anyone’s back on the “other side” of this

@Achillies44 @OasisArchives Smiths were great! Nirvana were great too! Actually both legendary!!! Rank ‘em however you want, any answer is acceptable if you ask me

Noel Gallagher about Nirvana
"I remember Nirvana had a tune called "I Hate Myself and I Want to Die," and I was like 'Well, I'm not fucking having that, I can't have people like Kurt Cobain coming over here, on smack, fucking saying that they hate themselves and they wanna die"
That's fucking rubbish, kids don't need to be hearing that nonsense, seems to me that there was a guy who had everything, and was miserable about it
And we had fuck-all, and I still thought that getting up in the morning was the greatest fuckin’ thing ever, ’cause you didn’t know where you’d end up at night. And we didn’t have a pot to piss in, but it was fucking great, man”

Like it or not, Shapiro is cruising to a landslide victory in the most consequential swing state and will absolutely be a huge part of the 2028 conversation. He’s more electable than Newsom and that’s more important than people realize.

Gov. @JoshShapiroPA: It's a slap in the face to American steelworkers that Trump would knock down the East Wing and rebuild it with foreign steel.
English
@reesetheone1 lol do you think as VP of a president who has a 35% approval rating he’s in good shape?
English
If he does, I say he’s the favorite to be the next president.
Why?
Dems will UNDERESTIMATE his WWC appeal in states they need to win.
They are getting DRUNK on off year elections and polls……ALREADY.
They are getting ARROGANT.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The man who didn't want this war is now the one who has to end it... Vance heading into Islamabad reveals the impossible position he's in. He opposed the war. He told Trump to his face it was a bad idea. He cautioned against striking the Houthis in leaked Signal chats. He kept quiet during the early weeks, staying as far from the "debacle" as possible. Then Trump handed him the negotiating table. A close friend says Vance described feeling like he was "walking on eggshells" around Trump because of his antiwar views. Across the table sits Araghchi, who literally wrote a book called "Negotiations: The Power of Diplomacy" vowing Iran would never surrender its nuclear capacity. And Ghalibaf, the parliament speaker who mocked America's "no-strategy war" when the F-15 was shot down. A former Trump official put the stakes bluntly: Vance will have his fingerprints all over the fallout if the U.S. ends up on the losing side of a bad deal. But here's the thing nobody is saying out loud. Vance's opposition to the war is exactly what makes him credible to Iran. Tehran requested him. They trust that the man who tried to prevent the bombing is more likely to negotiate honestly than the people who championed it. If he walks out of Islamabad with a deal, it's the most significant diplomatic achievement by a Vice President in modern history. If he doesn't, the war he never wanted becomes the war he couldn't end. Source: WSJ

My take on this is that most politicians do not understand their own weaknesses I like Harris but she doesn’t have “it”

@CannedResponse @keithdorejel Were Democrat leaders committing atrocities? I’d love proof of that. Because I think you’re full of shit
English
@hcs862 @keithdorejel Democrat leaders were committing atrocities. And you supported them squashing those student protest. But now Dems aren't in power so the atrocities are acceptable to protest now.
English
Student activists are tactical. They thought they could influence the Biden Administration because he was a Democrat and they were his own voters. That failed. I think many concluded you had to change the party first and energy has been channeled into defeating pro Israel Dems.
Sam Stein@samstein
Biden's presidency was tormented by campus protests over Israel's war in Gaza and his reluctance to push back on it. They shadowed him at events Those protests have been virtually nonexistent with Trump amid the war in Iran. @Lauren_V_Egan looks into why thebulwark.com/p/the-campus-p…

This was the turning point for me. When I stopped liking leftists. You guys want to be revolutionary up until it's time to fight the actual fascists. All yall wanna do is take down democrats. You're controlled opposition that will do whatever an algorithm tells you. You're pussy

@nkulw In every case where protests have been limited on campuses, some alternative has been set up so there are ways to protest in compliance with 1A concerns. So while it’s more dangerous, it’s not like there aren’t ample ways that aren’t dangerous. This whole thing is disingenuous
English
I know students who have been expelled, imprisoned and deported, and I know others who have been directly threatened into silence. You talk like this because you aren’t funny and it’s the only way you know to get attention. You will be reborn as a flea

I was gonna protest but the school said no :(

@Katenashenjoyer @TCLangWrites @AaronRegunberg What does this have to do with the discussion? Jesus you dumbshit leftists can’t take one ounce of accountability.
English
@TCLangWrites @AaronRegunberg I love how "they got a new candidate" overshadows Biden lying to us all about being a one term transition president and dropping out after it was too late to have a primary. A candidate was given to us, we didn't pick Harris
English
Uncommitted argued the Biden/Harris position on Gaza was alienating key constituencies and could lose Dems the election. They were trying to use the primary process to push for change so Dems could win. They were proven 100% right. You were proven 100% wrong. Respectfully, STFU.
tré easton@treeaston
Respectfully, this sort of undercuts the whole stated purpose of the Uncommitted effort. If you recognize that your movement only appreciably advances under one party, you expend your energy getting that party into power and pushing it, not undermining it in the eyes of voters.

@KhandiCoat Tbh I get it I hate when employees use areas/benefits for residents, why should they get it for free while I have to pay for it? Are they better than me?
