we're at a point where sadly even when you carefully explain it, with step by step instructions on why her vote was problematic, like you did right here, they either still act lost or still find ways to defend her vote.

Welcome! that's quite a list of changes and i am impressed how fast you're freeing yourself from shit platforms.

You hit a lot of good checklist items, well done.

hold on i thought communism is when government does stuff and the more stuff it does the more communism it is.

on the other hand these are reforms that marxists and communists should definitely support even if this is just basic social democracy.

we might laugh at this but I think this is useful. Even though I wouldn't use something like this and I'd just use a regular dedicated blank notebook and my password manager, it can be useful to people who have problems with computers and can't handle a password manager, yet may give pages with good templates to show how to record sensitive information.

anyone who can change their views about a politician should be commended, so i appreciate this.

it's truly a shame because i know people who are supporting AOC are generally good people who want to see real change.

but think of the optics 😭

you can't show that a loon from the republicans has more sense (in this one instance) than most democrats. you absolutely can't 😭

Years ago the democrats (and obviously the republicans) have shown how vile they are against Palestinians.

[–] appropriateghost@lemmy.ml 22 points 4 days ago

sure, something about a broken clock right twice a day. But progressive members of the democrats voted with MTG's amendment because no one should be arming a genocidal state during a genocidal campaign to ethnically cleanse the Palestinian people. You care more about optics of not wanting to 'hand it to MTG' over the real experience of Palestinians?

And only just a few democrats voted with MTG here.

This just shows you how pathetic the democrats, except a few members are.

Shame on AOC for voting against this during a genocidal campaign. Absolute shame. She has a lot of explaining to do for her so-called 'progressive' credentials.

i think the key is to have a certain balance. Stay positive in certain aspects of your life activities, have principles and interests. Be true to them. Cherish those that mean a lot to you and appreciate them everyday.

But to quote a rage against the machine lyric "if ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face"
