If we're being technical, it's actually a GNothing OS, where the G stands for GNothing.

You're well versed in the memes for a non user, I'm impressed.

You don't do that in America (if you want to win). You take an existing party and push it in your direction. That's how the party of Reagan is embracing tariffs.

Ask the whigs about it.

Way too good of an analogy in too many ways.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 34 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

… the school shooter wasn’t voted class president by the students.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

And Democrats aren't armed or in a position of authority to stop it.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

At some point they were in authority and could have made a difference…. But they decided to watch what would happen if they did nothing.

I thought we were going to talk about 3rd parties once it's not critical to democracy.

When are we going to wise up and realize that people who vacillate between "I won't vote for genocide" and "why won't the Democrats save us!?" are a fucking opp designed to kneecap the left?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Exactly. Division got us here. Only unity will get us out.

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 4 weeks ago (6 children)

Unity centered around what? The party of the less bad? Of the horrible leadership? The party that only does one genocide? The not Trump party? The party of “we will not trash the economy”?

I could get behind that, but this federation has not been a democracy for a while. Not when you need more states won and several would require United Nations observers if they were countries. So, in some places it’s just a lost cause.

People need to be disabused of the notion this is a fair fight won by normal rules. New leadership and splintering is exactly what is needed.

Ah yes, unity. The unity of attacking third parties. Of suing candidates to remove them from the ballot. Of refusing to run a primary to learn the wishes of the party. What great unity. I’ll pass on the party of “nothing will fundamentally change” with your views of “unity” like that.

I agree we need to come together so the left stops losing. But the democrats do not agree with that, and will actively sabotage it as much as possible. And until that changes, we’re fucked. We need a party willing to adapt to the people on the left, not republicans.

If you want to not kneecapping the left, you could start by not slurring progressives as "a fucking opp."

A screenshot of a tweet of a screenshot of a tweet put on top of a photo of a concert (?) where the person adds nothing. Why do people do this lol

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, pretty accurate. One cop tries to do something and gets dragged away by the rest

[–] PeteWheeler@lemmy.world 17 points 4 weeks ago

Fuck.....

The perfect analogy for the fucking US of A.

The parents trying to get in are the progressives

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 15 points 4 weeks ago

That's pretty much how I've known them both

[–] UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 4 weeks ago

The assumption here is that Democrats are just cowards. That is the more flattering of two options, but the less likely one.

The other one is that they are actually quite okay with what is happening, because their masters are.

[–] bigFab@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Officers arrived three minutes after Ramos entered the school and approached rooms 111 and 112, but they retreated.

Massacre at room 111. Massacre at room 112. Officer called out, "Yell if you need help!" A girl in the adjoining classroom said, "Help." Ramos heard the girl, entered the classroom, and shot her.

Law enforcement approach his classroom from what sounded like the hallway three times, but they did not enter; during one of these occasions, he heard a student from the adjoining classroom 112 saying, "Officer, we're in here. We're in here." As law enforcement had already left, Reyes said Ramos "walked over there, and he shot again."

Reyes later heard law enforcement telling Ramos to come out of the classroom to talk, saying they did not want to hurt anyone. WTF? That's the smartest line you would come up with? That the police don't want to hurt anybody? What's next, police threaten to shoot at hostages if shooter don't give up?

Kinda like how they went straight to blaming Mexicans and black people for losing the election.
