Where have we failed?

You know how Europe is mostly ethnically homogeneous? Well thanks to European and American escapades into the Middle East they’re becoming less ethnically homogeneous, and because of that xenophobic right wing rhetoric works on them a lot more than Americans. Add the post-covid economy and other legitimate issues where those immigrants can be scapegoated and Europeans welcome far right parties with open arms, because unlike Americans they’re not inoculated against these ideas.

Someone might point to the result of this election, to which I say there’s a reason people are angry at the DNC and it’s because they could’ve won if they were actually trying. It’s completely different from Europe where young people are shifting right.

Anyway what I wanna say is that this outcome was basically inevitable because in a parliamentary system like in most European countries the government will be too moderate to stop it.

Are you just looking for something to get mad about?

Because both of these groups are non-combatants in most of the world, particularly so in this conflict because Hamas is an Islamist organization. 70% (this seems to be the accurate number) of casualties being women and children implies 70%< of casualties are civilians.

Oh no.

Michigan used to make me jealous of their government. Now it’s voted red.

To be fair they only went red for the president. Both their senators are democrats and their representatives are 50/50.

Huh? What the actual fuck?

Still might be enough regenerative braking from just the weight of the truck though.

In that case no, because it’d be bringing the weight of the truck and the ore with it.

I now declare you a MAGA troll. The angry Lemmings will come for you shortly.

Because all their parents (for good reason) hate their guts, and because Israel likes to pretend they’re a European country.

Yeah the article explains why not going was also part of the no win situation.

I mean literally read your second link.

Yeah why tho?

Uh… This is California.

These people should indeed be paid a livable wage, but that’s only half the problem. If they’re gone nobody will take their place. This is backbreaking work that your average American for good reason simply won’t be willing to do.

I won’t speak to his personality because again I don’t know anything about him, but I don’t think being a woman had much to do with Harris losing. If she was a good candidate she’d have won because her opponent was Trump; and if a man with the same positions and attitude had run they’d have lost for the same reasons she lost.

That’s only for presidential election (and even then it’s a debatable position); there’s definitely a space for established independent senators and representatives. See: Bernie.

I don’t know literally anything about Waltz but is he that progressive? This is the “Israel has a right to expand its borders” guy so that’s unexpected.

So I wanna point out that while mathematically with FPTP a two party system is inevitable, which two parties aren’t decided. They can and do get replaced.

I mean it is the status quo. Israel’s current move will only make the “facts on the ground” official.

If you think the DNC is doing what it can to improve people’s lives then you either live in a different universe or haven’t been keeping up with politics the last few decades.
