I don't think this is currently possible under the current treaties of the EU. At the very least, there is contention about whether it would be possible. It's also not really an overnight kind of situation. At the very least, closer ties with the EU are definitely good for the country.

I'll quote another comment of mine in this same thread.

The majority of people who fell into this camp of refusing to vote for her were Palestinians. They had every right not to vote for someone who openly said she would continue to fund and arm the people killing their families and utterly destroying their communities. The correct thing was always for the Democrats to support human rights globally, to stand firmly against colonialism and stand with the Palestinians. They refused to do that. It’s honestly incredibly gross to find fault with people refusing to politically support people who are explicitly involved in the destruction of their people.

The continuing refusal of liberals to have any empathy for Palestinians is entirely emblematic of the failures of the democratic party. Over and over and over again you will compromise on genocide, compromise on human rights itself, to defend the disgusting political decisions of the democratic establishment. It's never the fault of the democratic establishment for funding and arming a genocide, it's always the fault of the minorities who wouldn't vote for a party support the killing of their families and razing of their communities. How in god's name do you plan to fight against fascism if you can't even stand against racist colonialist ideology in the political party you support?

This may surprise you but Lemmy isn't the whole world. Even excluding the many users who arent American, the users who are do not number such a large percentage as to influence the outcome of an election.

I just do not think that is representative of the larger push back against Kamala's campaign for supporting further Palestinian genocide. The majority of people who fell into this camp of refusing to vote for her were Palestinians.

Stop punching down. Punch someone who actually deserves it for once. The democratic party does not have to be the conservative genocide supporting party against the fascist aspirational genociders party. Thats what they are now. They are far more committed to furthering the neo-liberal ideals of "western enterprise" and "american power" than they are committed to doing what is right for their own citizens or people across the world. They will do small gestures of support for minority rights and anti-colonialism but when push comes to shove if it means sacrificing their ruling class wealthy benefactors they will refuse. This isn't going to change by fighting other working class people. It isn't going to change by punching down.

I have no idea what you're on about vis a vis voted for Trump believing he'd be better for Palestine. A minority people refused to vote Kamala because of her open support of genocide, but that doesn't mean they voted for Trump.

In either case, why is it their fault and not the fault of the democratic establishment exactly? Shouldn't your ire be for establishment democrats who refused to stop supporting a genocide? They could've done that, you know. This might blow your fucking mind but democrats can actually do stuff. No one was holding Kamala secretly at gun point and forcing her to support genocide. She refused to stop and instead parroted the usual talking points of Israel's "right to defend itself." Shouldn't that be the subject of your anger and frustration? Shouldn't you be furious at the democratic establishment becoming more and more conservative as time goes on? Shouldn't you be outraged at the way democrats persecute the progressive elements within their own political party? Instead of angry at the handful of people who tried to make their voices heard on the subject of literally funding and arming genociders?

Like what the fuck do you think political change within the democratic party looks like? Do you think that defending the establishment from anything and everything is how you get them to change? As each successive administration comes and goes the democrats have moved further and further to the right. They are well into conservative territory ideologically, and that should be immediately obvious to anyone paying attention. Gavin Newsom outright supported wild transphobia like forcing trans women into men's prisons just last week. And he's not the only one who's done this. The democratic party is not a party of progressives. They only support minorities until they feel it inconveniences them in any way.

A very solvable problem with window tiling managers. There's unironically thousands of them.

Linux just honestly might not be for you if a terminal is an insurmountable obstacle 🤷‍♀️ it's how you interact with the basics of your computer. It's worth ripping that bandaid off and getting over your fear of term imo. I honestly prefer software I can just run from the terminal.

We are just fully in the buildup now, aren't we. What a horrifying time to be alive. I wonder what a global scale conflict would be like with social media.

I try not to overthink anything until I've actually tried it on. So if anything catches my eye I'll try it haha and then kinda revise my opinion from there. I also always like to try one or two things that I wouldn't normally go for but think they look kinda cute? I've gotten several of my favorite dresses by doing that 😊 consequently I always end up with like 30 things to try on haha

Acknowledging that there is a goal of equality within society at all is now legally non-neutral. There is legal pressure to allow white supremacy, patriarchy, and xenophobic christian nationalism to exist as they are without any pressure to change them. To acknowledge that disadvantaged classes of people exist and face discrimination in any form is illegal, or at least that is their intent.

Love this kind of post. I'm good at thrifting, I find 90% of my favorite clothes from thrift stores haha. I'm also good at articulating my thoughts and feelings. :)

Capitalism artificially creates scarcity (or the illusion of scarcity) to generate capital.
