    I don’t care for Harris. However, since we live in a first-past-the-post two-party mess, I’ll continue voting progressively (and for ranked-choice if it ever gets put to a vote) in all my local/primary elections and voting for whichever candidate is running against Trump.

          It is not a pretend job. She is complicit. And even if it was, which is not, she has been side by side Biden supporting him as he carries out his genocide. Moreover, she is deep in AIPAC’s pocket. The fact that you believe there is any innocent Democrat in power is concerning.

            Okay all true, but the VP is still a pretend job. Maybe not as much as it was before but the VP doesn’t actually have very much power. Unless the president is article 12’d amendment 25’d.

            Yes, if she was actually innocent she would have been pushing to have Biden removed from office via the 25th Amendment so that she could take over his job and end the genocide as soon as possible. She’s a careerist and would never dare risk her own political career for something like that, so instead she’s meekly following along and making small gestures without committing.

            But, even a careerist could see the benefits of being the US president that ended support for apartheid and genocide.

            Don’t get me wrong, my expectations for US politicians are really low. It’s not like I’m donating money to her or anything, I’m just going to take a little bit of time to mail in a ballot because she might be less genocidal than Biden or Trump.

            She’s not standing up against the genocide as Vice, but she literally hasn’t actually done anything to advance it either.

            And that’s my red line - no doing genocide.

        they’re usually from .ml too 💅

        don’t play this game bud nobody on Lemmy is supporting liberalism and shit but hexbear/ml types have stereotypes attributed to them and if you think I’m the one starting them or the only one saying that you’re fooling.

        maybe ask why these communities have such a bad label slapped on them and why most of us see Chinese/Russian propaganda flowing from these instances

          Incorrect, Lemmy.world is extremely liberal and explicitly anti-Marxist, and sh.itjust.works leans conservative.

          They have a “bad label” on the liberal instances like .world and sh.itjust.works, not everywhere. Additionally, you’re free to visit Hexbear.net, they are far more active during US daytime hours. Pretending it’s just “Chinese/Russian Propaganda” is baseless, like your claim that most Hexbear users aren’t from the US.

              You can browse anonymously. Curious what fact you corrected, but that’s not particularly relevant.

              They have a bad label on the Liberal section of Lemmy, not overall. Simple as. If I’m being honest, I don’t much care for the opinions of Liberals and supporters of Liberalism.

    Wow, a prosecutor who worked under the “hard on crime” US laws? Say it ain’t so!

    The laws are dumb. Corporal punishment is dumb. It’s a fancy word for state sanctioned murder.

    Every year US states executes people who have been put through kangaroo courts with circumstantial evidence.

    This is a federal problem that has been part of US politics since the inception of CRT.

    Bail and bonds were just ways of preventing Freeman to actually make any money or lives for them selves so they would end up in prison chain gangs.

    Hey, here’s a great idea. Lift old laws that stifle economic development “in certain areas”, create more combined domestic and commercial areas, put money into public housing, and for the love of God

    reform the goddamn justice system

    Petition Harris even. Organise, FFS!
