‘They will vote against Harris’: Arab Americans in Michigan desert Democrats over Gaza
  • Harris? I agree, she's torpedoing a very easy campaign.

  • A more accurate metaphor would be if the raft was uninflated and full of holes.

  • Your hypothetical is false, though, the Dems and Reps have been working together to support genocide. The GOP isn't going to go harder on it than the DNC already have been, because they can't.

  • No average dem is fantasizing about Republicans hurting people

    You were in this thread though, lmao.

  • Ah yes, Leftists must be naive or bots, there's no such thing as an intelligent leftist

  • ‘They will vote against Harris’: Arab Americans in Michigan desert Democrats over Gaza
  • This is an article about why Arab-Americans are abandoning the Democrats for endorsing and materially supporting genocide, and the response is "Trump would be bad too!" Yea, of course he would be, Harris is so bad that she isn't a solution either.

    Also: does every ml user have an allergy to pragmatic problem solving?

  • Does anybody here still wish the Fediverse just had more people?
  • It's not really elitist, Lemmy was founded as an alternative to Reddit, but Lemmy.world is a repitition of it, not to mention the anti-Marxist pro-zionist moderators. It's understandable that people leaving Reddit don't want the same thing as Reddit.

  • Almost entirely signal boosted as proof of a carrot that both will most likely never arrive, and most likely won't change anything even if it did arrive. There's a large difference between individuals pushing for something and them actually managing to get them passed at a scale that matters.

  • Only a Marxist Leninist can master the 4 elements
  • Dilaectical Materialism is influenced by Hegel's Dialectical Idealism, but rejects the majority of it as idealism. A good primer is Elementary Principles of Philosophy, by Georges Politzer, which goes over the history of Idealism, Dialectics, and Materialism, before showing how they gave way to Dialectical and Historical Materialism.

    It requires reading to understand, but certainly no PhD!

  • I read every word of what you wrote.

    Arab-Americans are refusing to vote for genocide at much, much higher rates than other ethnicities. My answer is what they have been saying themselves: they can't vote for continued genocide of their friends, family, and people of a similar background. Your answer is that it's because Arab-Americans are uniquely stupid among ethnicities in America, which is racist.

  • "Everyone I disagree with is a Russian bot," what a classic zinger

  • ‘They will vote against Harris’: Arab Americans in Michigan desert Democrats over Gaza
  • For a few reasons.

    1. If you have no red line in the sand, then that gives the Dems free reign to do whatever they please.

    2. It helps boost PSL's platform, which is revolutionary, and therefore important to get new members

    3. If she gets more than 5% of the vote, then PSL gets better ballot access and public funding

    4. It helps delegitimize the electoral system.

  • I don't get this. 3rd party will never win. Ever. There are two real options.

    People are voting third party because you believe there are only 2 real options.

    Vote for the one that offers the best outcome for you.

    Gotcha, we should vote for Claudia De La Crúz.

    Not doing that is accepting that you are ok with the worst of the two, because you had a chance to keep them out of office and choose not to.

    Both Trump and Harris are the worst options, that's why we are going against them.

  • ‘They will vote against Harris’: Arab Americans in Michigan desert Democrats over Gaza
  • Ah, you were a different user jumping in, my bad. Either way, that's what was asked originally.

    My personal opinion? Claudia De La Crúz all the way.

    It's important to note that Duke endorse Stein because she supports ending support for Israel, and Duke hates Jewish people, he doesn't care about genocide at all.

  • ‘They will vote against Harris’: Arab Americans in Michigan desert Democrats over Gaza
  • Other than the genocide of their friends and relatives? Increased anti-immigrant policies, failures to address concerns of marginalized communities, failures of the liberal Capitalist system at large, etc.

    They aren't voting for Trump either, most are going to Stein.

  • ‘They will vote against Harris’: Arab Americans in Michigan desert Democrats over Gaza
  • I understand, you asked me who the anti-genocide groups were supporting, not a vetted list of everyone who has come out in favor of each third party.

  • ‘They will vote against Harris’: Arab Americans in Michigan desert Democrats over Gaza
  • When you are faced with high numbers of marginalized people refusing to vote for candidates contributing to the genocide of friends, relatives, and people of a similar heritage, and your response is that they are "stupid," rather than trying to understand why they are acting in that manner, you assert yourself as more "enlightened," and the marginalized people as uniquely stupid. That is why it is racist.

    Pseudoregalia is dope.

    Eerie yet nostalgic PSX/N64 graphics, costs as much as a starb*cks drink, with a great soundtrack and killer movement mechanics. It's just so fun to schmoooove around.

    If you like Indie games, Metroidvanias, and/or 3D platformers, give it a look!

    Plus, it runs perfectly on Steam Deck.

    What games have the best Leftist or Leftist adjacent narratives and writing?

    Outside of Disco Elysium, of course. Looking for games with great narratives and some level of Class Consciousness.

    Bonus points if it plays well on Steam Deck!

    What are your favorite albums from the 2020s?

    I've always held the belief that music wasn't better in the past, people just have survivorship bias. What are your genuine favorite albums of the last few years?

    Personally, I'm loving The Rime of Memory by Panopticon, Ants from Up There by Black Country, New Road, and Hellfire by Black Midi.

    Fallout London - Official Release Announcement

    A huge new mod looks like it's actually coming out! I know many are wary after The Frontier, but what are y'alls thoughts? Looks fun at the very least! I like the new Vault Boy stand-in, and love the river/boat setting.
