In what ways?

What has Pete done to make you believe he is going after an audience that would disagree with this statement and/or that he would now disagree with this statement?

Your initial comment was that “2018 was a different time” I’m trying to understand what you think has changed so drastically since then.

Well Americans aren’t a monolith and as I said, individuals taking action against a government achieves nothing. Do you believe America has achieved a mass leftist movement capable of overthrowing the govt?

Unless you are in China, Cuba, Vietnam, or NK you really don’t have a valid platform to criticize a people not overthrowing their government, have you partaken in the overthrow of your government/do you agree with your government?

Considering the OP is mocking a “leftist” liberal advocating the disarmament of the people. Do you think OP/most people agreeing with OP here are right wing liberals or ollectivist leftists? It seems to me you are advocating for liberal individualism or from a similar liberal view unless I’m drastically misunderstanding something.

No it wasn’t. Hell, it was even 2 years into the first Trump term.

Do you think he would say anything different now?

Do you expect individuals to go up to their local government and let loose? What do you think the result of that would be?

That’s not how resistance movements work and never has been.

You must build first. Read history.

Nobody defended the Republicans, in fact the premise of the comment you are replying to is about how bad the Republicans are and how they need to be resisted.

How do you plan on resisting once you’ve been disarmed? Just vote out fascism? …Yeah that’s always worked.

The only reason you would want to be disarmed, is so that you have an excuse for your passivity.

They need to verify using a phone number because otherwise other people could sign up using your phone number and pretend to be you? What?

They can only sign up using your phone number if they do require a phone number. If they didn’t ask for a phone number then how would people sign up using your phone number?

When networks pump out 500 new copaganda shows a year I’m kinda surprised it only happened twice tbh

Time Yellow Text!

~ how is that different than having 50 different accounts all using the same password?

Because the password manager would have to be hacked itself.

If you just use the same password for everything, any of those 50 sites could be hacked.

Yeah, it’s Israel.

The US doesn’t need to “get it’s house in order”.

It also needs to (and seems on the path to) be destroyed in its current form.

With global trade inevitably shifting away from the unstable US, Military embarrassments against small impoverished organizations like the houthis, and diplomacy entirely built around leveraging those 2 things…it seems much more likely the US turns into a nuclear armed former superpower than that it maintains it’s global status and changes to actually use said status for good.

Nobody said otherwise.

They were actually for genocide. That’s why they partook in an ongoing genocide for over a year. Your entire premise is wrong.

“You say I deserve Trump… like I’m the one suffering here.”

If you’re American and not ultra-wealthy you are/will be, just like I will.

“Question: do you honestly think Joe Biden would have permitted the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza?”

Yes. Just as he was perfectly fine with them bombing everything from hospitals to schools usimg the weapons he continues to send and using genocidal rhetoric. You would have to be insane to think otherwise.

“Would that even be a conversation right now?”

No. It would just be another day of Joe Biden and the Democrats enabling the genocide while “liberals” sit by and let it happen and calling anyone who opposed it a crazy radical. Just like it was during the year long genocidal campaign he DID engage in.

“I’m not the one suffering the brunt of consequences for your the decision to elect Trump over Biden, it’s the Palestinian people who are.”

This is the same blatant denialism of Genocide because Joe Biden was the one doing it I just critiqued.

Always have been.

It’s not disinformation that Joe Biden enabled and aided the Genocide of Palestinians. Trump doing the same doesn’t rewrite history.

Kamala could have gotten all those voters if she just took a stand against genocide.

Not supporting Genocide Donald.

You say this like Biden was bringing an end to the Genocide.

Trump partaking in Genocide doesn’t mean Biden didn’t. It was just publicly revealed that Biden never demanded a ceasefire (as if we didn’t know that already), Biden sent weapons to Israel to use in their genocidal campaign, Biden sent warships to ward off and defend against any attacks against Israel for their genocidal campaign. Trump doing the same doesn’t mean Biden didn’t do those things.

You so smugly using Trump’s continuation of the genocide as a form of “gotcha” (again, as if we didn’t know he would do that) is truly just absolutely morally gross and despicabe.

You deserve Trump.

Libs will always believe the “it’s not ‘Torture’ it’s ‘enhanced interrogation’” until they are the ones being interrogated. Then, suddenly, it’s ‘torture’, and it’s everyone else’s fault that we got rid of ‘enhanced interrogation’, not their fault for preserving the system.

If this was a targeted tariffs at something we specifically used to be good at, for example cars, and it came with price controls for the internal market, you might have a point.

As it stands a broad global tariff will not shift manufacturing “back” to the US it will simply serve to further monopolize the economy further.
