Except Trump won't be on the ticket again (barring a literal fucking coup that re-writes the constitution without state ratification), so both parties would be running a 'not Trump' candidate.
I can totally see that.
Maybe it's how lemmy mixes posts from many instances by default, but sometimes I wander into a thread that I expect to be more stereotypically 'progressive', and it ends up being shockingly establishment.
Maybe that's a strength of federation: that even if your instance is locked-in to a particular perspective, you'll still get exposed to a wide range from other instances.
There haven't been any popular defed protests lately, maybe things are settling

Nevermind that AOC is a shit choice too, but who in their right-mind would prefer a Biden or Shapiro over even a nominally progressive option?
I honestly thought they'd read the sarcasm
Aw fuck, he caught me sleepin. I accidentally admitted that post-war USSR might have been influenced by more than just Salin's desire to do the Holomodor and he clapped me.
He was nice about it though, shook my hand and said GG, offered me to appeal his ruling in 48 hours.
Don't tell him I fully endorse violence against colonists, I wanna surprise him next time.
Just out of curiosity:
When you asked that question, did you really not know? And the followup: was goat's an acceptable explanation?
I have to say, I am much less amused by it now than I was even 8 hours ago.
When I get sucked into these vortexes by the end I am praying for the ban-hammer to put an end to my misery. I think he's in Australia or New Zealand or something, so by the time he's back up and active i'm starting to get to the shame and regret part of my self destruction cycle.
"They hate us for our freedom"
I am absolutely losing my mind
Or their..... braids
I definitely misread their statement, but the reality of what they are saying is so much more depraved than what I assumed that I am completely overcome with disgust.
Before I went looking for the context I had a few guesses about what the comment was in response to, and honestly it could have been half a dozen other ones but given it was goat I figured it was probably Gaza/Palestine/Islam related
Ooof, and the hits just keep on coming
For context:
This is a MoG post about a hexbear comment from 7 months ago complaining about the evocation of Charlie Hebdo against the french
A top comment asks "why so mad against french?", and the OP (the main mod and poster of MoG) suggests it's because we "hate france's freedom of speech and their 'anti-islam stance'". Declines to share a link or context to the comment
Out of curiosity I went looking for the context to that comment, and discovered that it was in reaction to a wildly Islamophobic cartoon making a joke about Gazan's starving during the month of ramadan [linky] [CW: Racism, Islamophobia, genocide]:
The mod then goes to great length to avoid commenting on the racist context of the post, as well as any definitive statement acknowledging the Palestinian Genocide or the culpability of Israel and the IOF. Tries to whatabout China, Russia, and Iran
Turns out libs actually do practice critical support, but instead of critically supporting AES projects they support any state crusading against muslims.
Yea, it's definitely not gonna happen, but the libs love pretending it's the end of democracy and take that possibility very seriously
