TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The secret police are everywhere. Do they really need the masks?46·1 day agoFailure to act, not doing things while you still have time, also has a very high risk.
Its a very, very common mental miscalculation to only look at the risk on one side of the balance sheet.

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•AIPAC-Funded Dem Leaders Duck War Powers Resolution on Trump and Iran65·2 days agoThis is the cost of not demanding more from Democrats for litterally decades. Utterly cuckolded to a country committed to genocide.
And you can guarantee Blue MAGA will be asking you to vote blue no matter who instead of calling for Democratic leadership to resign.

The apologists defending Democrats from changing may have brought us over a cliff.

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Fury Grows Over Democratic Complacency in Face of Looming War of Choice in Iran181·3 days agoWe need to change the Democratic party if we want to stop any of this madness. In their current form, they are the in the way of fixing this mess. We’re reaping the fruits of those who blocked criticism and the calls for reform of the DNC: Its Blue No Matter Who put us here. If we can break through on the DNC we can find a way out of this. With the DNC as they are, there is no political path forwards. And with no political path forward, the only remaining option is violence.
We’re locked in a room with a cult that has completely lost their minds, and the people who hold the chains of our political fates, the DNC, are arguing “Be reasonable. Maybe the psychopaths have some interesting ideas”. Then we have to spend most of our energy arguing with those who complain about us wanting to fight those who hold the literal chains that prevent us from directly confronting the psychopaths. If BNMW/ Blue Dogs/ Blue MAGA cant step out of the way and take a back seat with regards to the direction of this party, then I guess we’ll both find out how this ends, just not together.

You, are not, however much you might choose to identify as, an anarchist.
You are a statist. You are a liberal. We don’t need your self reporting.

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•America’s drone 9/11 is coming — and just like on 9/11, we aren’t readyEnglish131·4 days agoI think you are misunderstanding the point. Swap out 9-11 moment with “watershed moment”.
A drone doesn’t need to be able to carry more than 500-1000g to be an incredibly effective tool of war, and it absolutely was, basically, consumer grade drones that Ukraine used.
And all in all, probably, the whole operation cost less than a single tomahawk cruise missile.
I made this point that the article is making here, a few months ago. The US military industrial complex has completely missed the mark on where modern warfare is going., and the US has spent trillions to build a system that can be challenged for billions.
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•US Senate Democrats cross the aisle to help Republicans pass crypto bill83·4 days agoThe comment wasn’t directed at the bill, but at Democrats. They can’t even represent a united front against corruption and fascism, the former if which is represented by this bill. There are a litany of other votes where BNMW/ Blue dogs/ Blue MAGA crossed the line to censure Al Greene, confirm Trump nominees like Kristee Noem or Miller, I mean the list is a mile long.
The issue isn’t just that these are TERRIBLE, indefensible votes for a democrat to have made, but also the huge damage it represent to our ability to retake power in mid terms or, if at all possible, in a 2028 presidential election.
With Democrats like this, why bother? That’s the question voters are going to be faced with. It’s the question neither Joe Biden or Kamala Harris could come up with an answer to.
Its far far more than just the damage and bloodletting they could be preventing with these votes. It’s that they’re setting themselves up to lose the next election as well.

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Some Democratic senators regret voting to confirm Kristi Noem as DHS secretary137·4 days agoYou aren’t just defending the rot: you are the rot. And calling me dishonest when you’ve been in a state of perpetual gaslight for litterally years?
Fucking rich dude.
Litterally all I have done is that advocate that Democrats not use strategies shown to lose elections. Your brain interprets that as advocating against Democrats, and I’m sorry that I can’t take a time machine back to your 10th grade home home room teacher that Eldritch the apologist needs to work on their reading comprehension skills. Show me once, where I advocated for people to not vote Democrat in the 2024 election.
Your persistent and nefarious approach to politics, your constant efforts to silence important accurate and relevant criticism of Democrats, advocacy that is trying to get them to do better: Your the fucking problem with the Democrats.
Shielding Biden from criticism during an election cycle threw the election for Democrats. Shielding Harris from criticism when she didn’t shift policies from Biden lost the election for Democrats.
Gaslighting people to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears will continue to lose Democrats elections.
Democrats can’t win elections using your approach. We ran the experiment. We have the data. You were the fucking problem.
Right here
but my banan launcher is in the shop
so only orange
