I get it but come now, the color red did nothing wrong.

It’s also ironically the color of liberalism in most other countries, worth pointing out given Lemmy is an international community. So that could sound confusingly aggressive to international readers.

They definitely forgot the diplomatic attitude and wisdom.

Whether they forgot attractiveness depends on how you look at that. Apparently he was a handsome guy and went on cool nature expeditions and shit as a kid…on the other hand he used to hang out around rotting animal carcasses all the damn time and loved eating rotten meat so in a more general sense, yeah, super unattractive.

I think the bigger problem is a had a fucked up childhood where he got literally whatever he wanted cuz he had infinite fuck-you money/status, plus the Kennedy curse taking his super-famous uncle and father and otherwise scarring him for the rest of his life, plus taking a LOT of drugs, equals…the guy never had a chance.

I recently listened to the 4-part Behind the Bastards analysis of RFK Jr.

Not surprised that the man is desperate to get to the WH, considering that he was groomed more than any of his siblings into becoming the next JFK.

I literally laughed out loud. Accusing me of being in favor of genocide, and a faster one at that, is a pretty weird and insane interpretation of everything I’ve said.

I believe that a Harris presidency would be better for Gaza than a Trump presidency. That’s the motivation behind everything I’ve said.

But if you don’t agree with me? Fine. You’re entitled to your own opinion. I just hope you don’t accuse everyone who disagrees with you of being in favor of genocide against any people. That’s bad for the soul.

his unconditional support for Netanyahu's genocide

Biden has not given any “unconditional support for Netanyahu’s genocide”, because again, if that were the case, then Netanyahu’s mission would be over by now

And I asked which of her policies differs from Biden's

I was addressing the comment “I hear that plenty about Biden” and pointing out that the Biden administration has taken action behind the scenes, at least on a number of other issues.

I also have reason to believe that whatever behind-the-scenes talks are happening concerning Israel are pro-preace, because otherwise the US would be throwing enough military weight behind Israel that Palestine would be finished by now.

Doing the right thing behind the scenes is the kind of action that lead to the Russian hostage exchange, the satisfaction of the rail worker unions after the railroad strike, the steady increase in student loan relief after SCOTUS shut down the blanket 10k handouts, and the duping of republicans into getting the chips act passed.

I personally believe in their capacity to do the right thing behind the scenes, just like I believe in the other side’s capacity to do the wrong thing behind the scenes.

How does Tim Walz make Wisconsin and Michigan a lock? Is it simply that they’re neighboring states with a known similarity in demographics, or is there more I don’t know about Walz? (there’s almost definitely more I don’t know about Walz, haha)

Yet to see them on the internet, or in-person in one of the swing states?

Your take is valid, but less than 50,000 votes in swing states separated Trump and Biden from a tie in the EC in 2020. I could believe that there were at least 25,000 “actually swingable” voters in the right states out of 150+ million voters in 2020, and I could believe the same for 2024.

If there’re no other alternatives, then I propose that going forward the new term for this should be “Crowd Striking”

I’d never heard “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”. Now I’ve heard it twice in one comment thread.

I’m interested in the sourcing of this image.

What are the page numbers referring to? If they’re referring to a document for Agenda 47, I have not found any such document. If they’re referring to the official Project 2025 policy mandate that I found here, then I don’t think the page numbers match up for at least some of the points raised.

Also, is there an original image without the page numbers, and if so where did that come from?

Tbh I suspect that this image contains misinformation, which would be a real bummer. I know at least that the pdf I linked already says some crazy stuff, not the least of which is suggesting an abortion ban, but it’s 922 pages so there’s a LOT of pointless fluff.

Edit, 922 pages, not 923.

Edit: I received a couple downvotes but no direct responses. Is that just bc I’m coming off as someone who’s defending Project 2025, or bc I’m lame for asking about sources and/or sweating the details, or some other thing?
