Biden is losing in the polls to trump. If he continues to run we will have Trump again. I'm scared shirtless. I wish the democratic party would quit gambling with our democracy and take the fascist threat seriously.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (3 children)

They are taking the threat seriously. The problem is who they consider the threat. Democrats don't see fascists as a threat to them, and do see progressives as a threat.

Which is exactly how Hitler came to power too, the middle chose right because they were more scared of left.

I don't like it anymore than anyone else, but just look at how effective they were in shutting down Bernie. Yet, somehow, they are completely powerless to stop the Repuglicans from doing whatever they have wanted for the last 80 years.

I don't know why I got down voted for agreeing with you 🤔

Yeah you're completely right.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They probably assumed that you were being sarcastic like the other guy I didn't respond to. I figured I would see if you were, glad to see my assumption was correct.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 4 points 4 months ago

Oh I wasn't sarcastic I'm just tired of people saying it's absolutely not the Democrats absolutely doing everything in their power to not even consider actually moving left.

I figured I was being down voted because it was obnoxious to use text that big but I don't care.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh no! Not the highly accurate and never wrong polls!!!

[–] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So your opinion is that we ignore polls completely and stick our hands in the sand...

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Sure, if we are redefining "ignorance" and "discarding historically bad information sources"...

I’m scared shirtless.

This is clearly not The Good Place so you can say "shit."

[–] agnomeunknown@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

To be fair, (spoilers for the show) it was the bad place where you couldn't swear

[–] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Who is down voting this? Hilarious comment dude. You made me chuckle. Thanks.

Well, you're in the US, so it's not your problem if they decide to nuke someone outside it or, say, greenlight an invasion. While I have some of my family and myself in a place theoretically attractive to nukes, and half of my other family in a country likely to be invaded. Fortunately the rest is distributed between USA and a country which, despite all the cries, is in no significant danger.

[–] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sorry you in fear of invasion or nuking. I don't mean to say those in the USA will have it the worst of this happens. There is Def safety in the imperial core.

I don't feel the need to compete over who will have it worse, comrade. let's just be on the same side instead🙂

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 months ago

That's more of a joking tone, if it happens, it happens anyway.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

MAD is very real and will happen if America launches nukes at anyone so I think every American should be worried about our government deciding to use them.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

I'm not sure of that really working, hasn't been tested after all. Shootouts on the streets don't lead to everyone getting shot. So, say, US warns "everybody big" that they are nuking someplace, but don't want to nuke anyone else. If "everybody big" are kinda fine with it, they won't launch nukes in response. That means there's a place nuked and no MAD.
