'We've lost a partner and a friend': Ukrainians somber as U.S. partnership disintegrates
-
That xenomorph is sexy AF compared to the shit in the top picture!
-
One of my states local congresspeople is a Ukrainian Immigrant.
She's a Republican.

They were saying that, if you at least voted, you've lifted a finger.
I feel you though. Being a lone voice in a county that went like 93% Trump, it definitely feels like my vote doesn't matter. Hell, our mayor at the time was caught drunk driving with his niece in the car after a fundraiser, told the cop 'do you know who i am' and threatened his job, and he STILL won by a lot.
-
Nah. We wanted trump in.
-
Spent a week in the UK visiting my sister recently. There is an overwhelmingly positive amount of support on the TV there.
I get the view that they called the current shit show before the rest of us.
-
Exactly as I've been predicting.
& it took 1 month, to-the-day, for Trump to resolve to that position, too.
There's 44 MORE months until the purported "election" which Trump would have, to elect his-replacement, right?
The Trump/Putin/Orban/Millei/LePen/AfD/Farage/etc. global-alliance is going to be OWNING this world's-determination, shortly, unless SOMEBODY among the various "political parties" grows some SPINE, immediately.
What "Interesting Times" to be living-in..
( yes, that refers to the Chinese curse: "may you live in interesting-times". )

People wanted Putin in at first too, no? Didn't he do the whole "I'm the strong man who will save everyone and only I can do it" kind of bs like Trump, then once in gutted everything in order to consolidate and maintain power also kind of like Trump?
I'm actually fairly ignorant on his initial rise to power, so please don't be too hard on me
-
An inside agent.

He took way longer to do it, but that's a good summary. He left office because the prez could only serve two terms but had congress transfer most of the power to the prime ministership and he got that job, so they had a puppet president for 4 years. Then they said he just can't serve more than 2 terms consecutively so they restored the power of the presidency and he returned to office and they modified the constitution to remove the two term limit and here we are.

Lefties supported Kamala. I dunno where you are getting that they didn't.
-
If another jan 6 happens the capitol police should join in.
And the DC metro.
I doubt they would, but they should.
-
There's always has to be the "Fuck You I Got My Own" factor
-
That is not the impression I got on Lemmy in the lead up to the election.
All I heard was “genocide”. Trying to bring up anything else was pointless.
-
Damn, that slaps.
-
Lemmy isn't exactly "the left"
I'm sure I wasn't the only one not disagreeing with the genocide that made the calculated decision to vote straight ticket dem anyway.
-
This is the lefty-ist space I’m in anywhere I am on the internet.
I interacted with plenty here who claimed they would not be voting for Kamala due to Israel despite knowing all the horrible shit Trump was going to do.
Now we all get to live it.
-
yea, I was clumsy comparing the german communist and socialist party to those groups in the present-day US, especially given how vague the words left and liberal have become...but the lesson stands. Unity.
-
I'm fairly left as well, and whenever I brought up strategic voting I was swatted down with "genocide" like the other person. I was event told by multiple "lefty" users that they hoped Trump won just so it would hurt the democratic party and "teach them a lesson". No matter that we'd be pouring gas on the fire and bringing shit home, they still had to TeAcH tHeM a LeSsOn. Ugh.
The only people who hate leftists more than rightoids are other leftists, and its for shit like that. Moral purity over pragmatism is no different than fanaticism in my eyes. As much as we may hate electoralism, its the only way to work within the system and not let fascists take over. But here we are.

Reading your post I am reminded of the contempt I felt for the priority police.

Agreed, we must all hang together.....
