Before this “outrage piece” I had no idea that Newsom had come out against trans athletes. So it definitely serves a purpose other than click bait.

It shines a spotlight on the fact that Newsome has suddenly pivoted on this transgender issue. (basically as a precursor to running for president) And people should know that this shithead has no actual integrity and will do or say whatever it takes to get the conservatives to like him more for the general election (he’s pretty confident that Dems will choose him regardless of his policies apparently.) So, if he’s altering his policy on transgender youth, it almost certainly means that he’s gonna attempt the Democrats continually failing strategy of appealing to conservatives.

If he wants to continue he should just produce his show on his own and air it on YouTube. No one really watches broadcast tv anymore.

Jon Stewart should do the same.

They are increasingly polluted by their private sponsors and corporate partners.

Gee, I wonder why they have those. Could it be because of the extreme cuts to their budget by conservatives?

Your apathy is part of the problem.

Better to be dragged out for standing up for what is right than to roll over and show your belly to the butcher.

You can filibuster anything if you have the will. The Democrats just don’t have any care to fight for anything but their pathetic jobs.

The White House called for an end to federal funding for NPR and PBS in April, claiming that they “spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as ‘news.’” Trump also fired the CPB’s three Democratic board members, who refused to leave their posts. Trump sued them this week in an attempt to force them out.

Translation: they don’t regurgitate right wing talking points.

These people are disgusting.

Is there no Linux for mobile options currently available?

This could be a good thing. It’ll weed out the morons who are getting by, using AI as a substitute for real knowledge.

That’s exactly my point though. They cannot be manipulated by anyone but Trump. They want to believe in him, therefore they will accept any excuse or bullshit he shovels out in their direction. Mark my words, they will be back on his side in no time. Nothing is more powerful than self-delusion.

Edit: further to my point, we need to stop trying to do anything with these people. We need to appeal to those who will not voted, who don’t engage because they’re sick and tired of politics as usual. People who are getting killed by our economy and don’t like Trump, but they also don’t like Democrats. We need more progressives and we need to get rid of the democratic party. Because their playbook was, is, and continually will be to try to appeal to conservative voters. New York City is a prime example of why. The Democratic party will pull out all the stops to try and prevent a progressive from taking an office. But they can’t be bothered to stop a conservative. Just look at the pathetic showing they gave in opposition to that Ugly Ass Bill. They took selfies and posed with baseball bats and looked shocked and horrified as nearly every Republican voted it into law. But they didn’t do a single real thing to try to stop it. Their attitude is, “well we’ll get em in the mid-terms”… Meanwhile millions of Americans are going to lose health coverage and billionaires are going to line their pockets with that Medicaid money.

They👏👏will👏👏never👏👏be👏👏convinced.

These people don’t share values with you. They think immigrants steal jobs and commit all the crimes. They are extremely happy that the brown people are being herded into camps. They think that abortion clinics are killing babies on the government dime because the atheists want to eliminate Christianity. They are the ones pushing abortion bans across the country. These are not sane people. No matter how logical and fact based your argument, they will cling to their twisted views.

The way to win elections is to stop trying to appeal to these people and start investing time and money into the “socialist” policies that left wing voters are almost constantly asking for.

Both Hilary and Kamala tried to appeal to the right wing and it cost them and us. It’s time to leave the right wingers in the dark where they are happy and focus on bringing the left wing back up out of the shadows because the fucking cold war is 30 years done and over. We no longer have to be scared of the words socialism and communism because there is no longer an iron curtain and the Russians are even more capitalist than we are at this point.

To all the liberals reading these diatribes from disillusioned MAGAs, the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy. Even if they feel betrayed by their glorious leader, the things he has done are still within the playbook that those people voted for.

They will never “come around” to seeing what is wrong. They just feel put out cause their sugar daddy didn’t give them the car they wanted (the Epstein files). He will inevitably do something horrendous that will get them clapping along to the fascist tune again.

Failed at being governor, and now he wants to tank the duly elected mayoral nominee for the Democratic party by attempting to split the liberal voting block in NYC. Meanwhile, Trump’s buddy corrupt Eric Adams is doing exactly the same as a favor to his buddy in the White House.

There needs to be a poster on every street corner in NYC explaining this.

Preferably with pictures of both Cuomo and Adams photoshopped into the clowns they are.

Honestly thought this was a snarky Tron reference at first. Then I realized this is Lemmy and not reddit and so looked it up. Very interesting, but not sure how that helps it do math better.

I think it’s hilarious that you think that a multimillion dollar over engineered autocorrect is gonna somehow become sentient and destroy the world. It can’t even do math correctly. 😂

Is there something special about that date?

The “if you’re criticizing Israel then you are an antisemitic” argument is getting really really old and fucking tired.

I have never in my life had any issues with anyone who is Jewish just because they are Jewish. Nor will I ever. But I have serious issues with the state of Israel committing war crimes on a daily basis and expecting not to be held accountable.

Just keep in mind how close our flesh is to plastic, chemically speaking. Anything that is really good at breaking down hydrocarbons may find us pretty tasty too.

Trust Republicans to take a government program that was already limping along and make it a hundred times worse.

Texans who voted for these dumbasses deserve the pain. Those who didn’t, they need to get better organized and get their state sorted out. This shit isn’t going to improve and the next time is gonna be worse than the last.

They only show their true colors when the feel that it is safe for them to do so. So this says more about Twitch and our current society than about this asshole.
