My job is to keep the left pro-Israel.

• Chuck Schumer

How many times did he mention the meritocracy in his nomination again?

Everything he’s doing he promised but he absolutely is not doing everything he promised. Look at the stock market, egg prices, America’s greatness etc.

The surface of vulnerability of public apps includes the play store and Apple’s app store both who are treating the software they distribute at far lower level of sensitivity. Governments don’t publish encryptions they can break nor the ones they know adversaries can break. Even if the content of messages are secure, the timing and identity of people communicating can be compromised. There’s many fundamental reasons signal should never be used for military communications.

No app controlled by a third party is secure enough for government communications as sensitive as military plans

I lived in the rust belt for over a decade and have spent the vast majority of my life in a very conservative district. I literally know farmers personally. I promise you I know what life is like for many of these people. It’s nice to think that we could push or pull them but they’re as willfully deluded as it gets. The number of people I know that could barely afford gas to get to work and then continue to vote Republican in deep red districts for decades as they stripped them of any kind of benefit is insane. There is no reaching out to them they already rejected reality. I’ve had so many conversations with individuals about politics in these areas and you can see them rejecting reality when you point out examples from their real life. They can help being uninformed and choose every day not to. They know the politicians they voted for took they’re benefits and they’re going to vote for them again because that’s easier than facing the reality that they made their own bed. Trying to reach out to them is why the Dems are pushing right and trying to coax Republicans to their side and the willful indoctrination is why that has not, and never will, work. These are proudly ignorant people

they cannot help but be uninformed.

Bullshit. They’ve had way too long to figure out that reality doesn’t match up with the news they’re getting. It’s just easier to not question it

What are you even trying to say? You’re aware Israel already ended the ceasefire right?

By total accident

I guess Nazi technically rhymes with Nazi yeah

an official in a government department, in particular one perceived as being concerned with procedural correctness at the expense of people’s needs.

I’m starting to think they made it up

but did he hurt anybody?

He’s hurt so many people

There are endless posts about the bad stuff he’s doing or done. This one’s about tariffs. It’s so weird to defend them instead of finding an appropriate place to complain about the other things when there are so many options

So far. It’s only March and it’s only the first year

De-humanization is their schtick, so let’s not sink to their level.

not start artificial fights with someone you basically agree with

start left-wing in-fighting instead of trying to do something productive

Fuck all of the way off. It’s non-stop hypocrisy from dipshits like you that make meaningful discourse here impossible.

Lemmy has some of the dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with. Good luck with that

Cool you can enjoy the high road to hell. I’m glad you can feel good about yourself and really feel empathy towards them while they continue stripping rights from others. I will continue to see them as the monsters they are.

De-humanize the people stealing from Habitat for Humanity? Are we supposed to respect Nazis’ opinions or not run the Klan out of town either for fear of sinking to their level?

Are they still human without humanity though?

You talk a lot for someone who doesn’t know shit about me!

The hypocrisy is completely lost on you
