51·2 years agoWhen both teams suck, all you can do is root for injuries. But no, “I wish you’d just die already” is not a call to violence.
It’s only ok to incite violence when we do it.
Wasn’t the guy who shot Trump a registered Republican?
Is it possible that he was incited to violence by… other Republicans?
Do you mean New York is gerrymandered in the other direction? The 2022 map is +4% efficient gap for Republican.
Regardless, NY-14 is a D+40 seat. Hard pressed to name a seat anywhere in the country that’s safer.
“From the River to the Sea / Palestine will be free” would be a great place to start.
God had the opportunity to end this in the funniest way possible back when Trump got COVID. Our mistake is in assuming Trump is the Pharaoh and not the Plague.
Disturbingly well, given the direction this country is headed.
Pro-P2025 is an understatement. My man practically wrote the damned thing. People write him off as a simple grifter and climber, but this man’s hate is pure.
You’re confused because you’re reading “Trump could be Hitler” like its a bad thing and not JD Vance’s wet dream.

In a lengthy interview with Rolling Stone magazine published in November 2014, Sanders said that if elected president, he would “support the security of Israel, help Israel fight terrorist attacks against that country and maintain its independence,” while also vowing to maintain “an evenhanded approach to that area.”
“Has Israel overreacted? Have they bombed UN facilities? The answer is yes, and that is terribly, terribly wrong,” Sanders said. “On the other hand – and there is another hand – you have a situation where Hamas is sending missiles into Israel – a fact – and you know where some of those missiles are coming from. They’re coming from populated areas; that’s a fact. Hamas is using money that came into Gaza for construction purposes – and God knows they need roads and all the things that they need – and used some of that money to build these very sophisticated tunnels into Israel for military purposes.”
This has been the Sanders response to Israel for decades. He’s a reliable vote on more US funding for military support. He routinely endorses resolutions favoring the continued “existence of Israel” in the form of occupied Palestinian lands. He talks about a “Two State Solution” while defending the right of Israel soldiers to respond with brutality and barbarity whenever they are challenged.
Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib this guy ain’t. He votes as staunchly in favor of Israel as Ted Cruz or JD Vance.
Democrats in Hollywood, DC and mainstream media has made the claims that Trump will destroy democracy.
Trump has also been making this claim, explicitly calling for State Secretaries to tamper with election results and state legislators to send up faithless EC delegates.
He will be a dictator. He’s a fascist. He’s going to kill anyone and everyone who opposes him…
My man has compared himself to Mussolini and called for the arrest/killing of political dissidents on a regular basis.
Just look at the Lemmy posts about Trump.
Are you suggesting that the guy who shot Trump was reading too many posts on a Reddit knock-off, rather than spending all his time down the YouTube gun nut rabbit hole?
Don’t you love it when the conservatives blame the Dems for what the conservatives are doing themselves?
And then the Dems agree that Something Must Be Done, so you get the next iteration of the Mulford Act and a SWAT Team kicking down the door of the Socialist Rifle Association.
Trump wasn’t clipped by a boomerang.
Kids today are spending too much time learning woke pronouns and not enough time learning how to shoot an apple off a fence at 300’
Can’t understand why Strom Thurmond’s best friend isn’t winning bigger with Millennials and Zoomers.
The establishment is sucking Bibi’s genocidal dick. AOC stands with Bernie in opposition to the genocide.
Sanders has been a staunch supporter of Israel since his mayoral days. Its one of the issues where he diverges most heavily from his “lefty” base.
They’re not all “tankies:”
In 1956, a “Tankie” was someone who endorsed the Stalin’s tanks driving through Hungary to suppress a counter-revolution.
In 1989, a “Tankie” was someone who endorsed the Deng Xiaoping’s tanks driving through Tienanmen Square to suppress a student riot.
In 2024, a “Tankie” is someone who thinks Netanyahu’s tanks driving through Gaza to suppress the Al Aqsa Flood has gone too far.
She’s an incumbent in a heavily gerrymandered safe seat. Very little was going to pry her out shy of the kind of primary upset she used to take the seat in the first place.
But even as the ostensibly far-left flank of the party, she’s constantly pulling her punches in order to avoid getting censored and reprimanded within the Democrat’s caucus. Its not inconceivable that she could be thrown out, the same way George Santos was, if enough of her colleagues decide being Pro-Palestinian rises to the level of an expulsion-worthy ethics violation.
You can argue the DSA is unreasonable. And you can argue that Congress is so swarmed with AIPAC loyalists that not being censored is cause for alarm. But however you slice it, she’s putting her career ahead of any kind of personal conviction.
But it’s best to let the FBI be the one that does the information reveal.
Sirhan Sirhan would vehemently disagree.
The top five root comments have no such thing.
