    College students should just get with the program and be as performatively delighted with genocide as the party orders them to be.

      Democracy is when you vote for my candidates.

      Alternative electoral systems exist. You can’t wish them away like the Republicans think they can. We will always be undemocratic with a First past the post voting system. It wouldn’t even matter if the Republicans vanished into thin air. We need more then two parties to vote for, secure in the knowledge that our vote would still count if our preference didn’t win.

      and we can make it happen. We have the power.

    College protests deepen Democratic rifts.

    An opinion. An actual, no-hard-facts-just-observation Opinion opinion. And, of course, the NYT being the NYT, it’s in the news section.

    “Opinion” articles are where they put the actual information about Trump being a russian colluder and Hillary being right about him.

    I hope the NYT is finally made to understand how much they’re fucking everything up. How much they’re wasting.

      I haven’t read a NYT article in 5 or so years. I haven’t missed it one bit.

    I like how if a liberal/Democrat questions all the financial support for Israel…he’s just “protesting Israel’s methods.” But when a Republican questions all the support for Urkaine “They’re all traitors and in bed with Putin!”

    Can’t win on Lemmy (or Reddit!).

      Simply put:

      Israel and Russia = bad guys

      Palestine and Ukraine = good guys

        Russia of course, but the Palestine/Israel thing can be debated until the cows come home…

      • Russia forcefully invaded a sovereign country without provocation.
      • Israel is conducting an asymmetrical war against an oppressed minority, and using collective punishment.

      I wouldn’t expect someone with your limited ethical, and intellectual capacity to understand why those things are wrong. I would, in-fact, expect that you are in favor of both of those things since you want to allow the United States to be turned into a fascist hell-hole just for the fucking lulz.

      Can’t win on Lemmy (or Reddit!).

      Hopefully you never win because in the marketplace of ideas you are fucking bankrupt.
