Ignoring everything else here prosecutor is a net negative and “Felon” isn’t a bad thing necessarily. If you want to you can criticize Trump without propping up law enforcement.
Okay but in this case, felon is a bad thing because the crimes trump has been convicted of are serious offenses that should make him ineligible to even be president.
trump wasn’t convicted on 1 or 2 charges that were pushed on him by racist fascist pigs. He is the racist fascist pig. Who was convicted of scores of felonies.
It is a bad thing. Necessarily.
Yes trumps crimes were bad no argument from me. It’s just so many of these felon vs prosecutor memes and similar things really play into demonization of “felons” as a whole.
To be faiiiiiir
An ode to the increasingly large gap in education within the US. You reap what you sow, and that lack of worker rights and education along with the promotion and celebration of extreme competition is showing. Not that it isn’t costly, a good education doesn’t even seem to last a generation nowadays.
replace undecided voters with antisemites, and you’ll have this meme dialed in
Say it with me now!
CRITICIZING 👏 THE 👏 ISRAELI 👏 GOVERNMENT 👏 IS 👏 NOT 👏 CRITICIZING 👏THE 👏 JEWISH 👏 PEOPLE. THEY 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 A 👏 BORG 👏 HIVEMIND.
BORG HIVEMIND.
Missed opportunity to say BERG HIVEMIND.
Just saving it for you.
Yeah, well, I’ll stop calling out antisemitism when people stop being antisemitic. There are a lot of antisemitic tropes floating around right now where “Jew” is just subbed out for “Zionist”, and people seem oblivious to the nuances between Judaism and Zionism.
Actual criticism of Zionism as a political philosophy is obviously more than welcome, but there are way too many “Zionists control the world and are subhuman” folks out there seemingly immune to criticism in left-leaning spaces because as long as they proxy their antisemitism through the lens of anti-Zionism, the left will reflexively defend them.
The fact that, here on Lemmy, every non-Arab man, woman, and child living in Israel are regularly spoken of as if they are foreign invaders that need to be mass-deported or worse should be enough of a warning sign that at least some anti-Zionists don’t actually have their sites set on Zionism, but rather the destruction of Israel and the displacement/destruction of it’s people, representing 50% of the Jews on Earth.
Found the ‘but genocide’ guy…
You guys are so deep in blue Maga that you can’t even tell the person you’re replying to is pro genocide.
Um… Maybe reread that. Their stance is literally the opposite
No, it isn’t, go read their comment history.
They are just reactionary at this point and basically foaming at the mouth with the rabid thoughts of all the people that are wrong and easy to point at for being so, even if they are completely wrong and missing the point. Basically the same level of fear mongering but theirs is acceptable.
Perhaps, but they’ve been accusing everyone who fights again the genocide of being antisemitic for month on end now. Their position on the issue couldn’t be clearer, and it is the opposite of what y’all are claiming.
You mean the Russian asset
what does the guy who’s openly threatening the future of American democracy think about my taxes
He thinks your taxes are too low and billionaires taxes are too high!
I was JUST thinking my taxes are too low!
Well fuck you bro! My code sucks harder!
Oh, really?
function add(x, y) { let b=x; while(b < x+y) { b++; } return b; }
he promises a tax plan that will not materially improve things for you or i and a reduction in the things that taxes go towards that benefit us
and the people that stand to lose the most because of him call him their God emperor and vote for him
Apparently you’re a nazi if you vote for either, so you should just not vote
- totally not an astroturfer
Yeah, that’s too complicated for me. I think I just won’t vote at all.
Virtual tie 😩
Is there a person alive on this planet now with a so called “spotless” record? OP, are you of all the major decisions Kamala has made and you agree with them?
Already voted for Harris. Your argument is invalid.
Go cry about it.
In fact, I might just go vote again!
hmm. why am I voting for Harris. let me count the ways:
-
she’s got30 felonies less that what’s his face.
-
no bribery
-
no fraud
-
no racketeering,
-
no sexual assault
-
isnt Putin’s bitch
-
she trusts science
-
doesn’t mock disabled reporters on live TV
-
isn’t planning on appointing her unqualified family to the government
-
she isn’t running only to stay out of prison
-
she isn’t married to a Slovenian escort
-
she isn’t copying Hitler
-
her running mate never said she’s hitler
• Never got accused of running any scam businesses.
-
She’s already said she will continue arming Israel, which is a felony at this point.
Proudly proclaiming she will commit a felony day one is a good indication of how I expect the rest of her term to go.
My ballot had 3 options: Kamala Harris, Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy, Jr.
Write-ins are not allowed in Indiana.
Who should I have voted for?
That’s weird, Chase Oliver should’ve been on your ballot.
I’m sorry, you’re right. They are on it too.
The Leahy Law for those interested.
What felony exactly? If that’s a felony, that would be great, because then we can finally hold gun manufacturers and owners who sell their firearms fully responsible.
She’s not even president.
Hey, never mind the fact though that Walz is feeding school kids, they’re getting tampons in bathrooms and plan to finally tax the rich more, help the poor and increase minimum wage
Im sure people who are struggling to get dinner on their table are more concerned about foreign policy
She’s declaring intent to violate Leahy Law.
But I guess a blood sacrifice is an acceptable trade off for school lunches. It’s just arab kids, right? /s

The Leahy Laws or Leahy amendments are U.S. human rights laws that prohibit the U.S. Department of State and Department of Defense.
So it’s actually applied against those 2 offices, not the executive branch.
And again, she wants a ceasefire…
You have no way of knowing what’s happening in the background, only what you read about in the news
It doesn’t matter what she says she wants. If she authorizes more weapons sales, she’s in violation of both international and domestic law.
Which law again?
As mentioned, Leahy’s law isn’t executive branch it seems according to Wikipedia. So you need to take it up with you Pentagon…
I’m going to go out on a pretty long limb here and suggest the possibly that they’re not undecided…
I’ve read (not sure how true) that it’s not necessarily undecided between Harris and Trump - more undecided about even showing up to vote.
I honestly don’t know what’s worse.
Each is worse than the other.
not to be in support of trumb, but if someones records are spotless that is inherently suspicious to me. is she even allowed to run for president if she hasn’t visited a sex trafficker?
Her record isn’t spotless, but when you compare someone to trump it might as well look spotless because the context of trump makes it look so clean
I’m not fully knowledgeable about her record since I have more pressing things to worry about rather than researching harris, but as a queer person, I am aware of some of her shortcomings regarding queer rights.
She has explicitly tried to prevent trans people from receiving gender affirming care when in prison and challenged a ruling in favor of a transwoman to do so.
She also supported trans women in men’s prisons which is an extra horrific experience for a trans person, since queer people are generally more likely to be assaulted, raped, and sexually assaulted in prison. Trans women in men’s prisons have it the worst.
This happened in the past, but with her not explicitly making trans rights a campaign issue in the face of how much discrimination they are currently facing, it is concerning.
thank you for pointing out some of her flaws, I find it appalling that she would not want people to continue medical treatment for a condition that is corelated with suicide while in prison. Where trans people should be located in prison is a difficult question, I think making gender neutral prisons that don’t have convenient places for rape to occur (make all bathrooms be unisex, increase surveillance of employees, eliminate for profit prisons) would probably be the best method, but idk. On the bright side she isn’t trump.
I can recognize a joke when I see one. Take my upvote.
Her record is not spotless tbh.
Anyway, easy solution to the problem: ban Trump and the GOP. Bam, fascism is no more.
Well, fascism will still exist if you ban Trump and GOP.
The US has no mechanisms to ban political parties
and the constitution was basically i intended to prevent banning a party just because the current administration dislikes them.
He’s not a Nazi; he’s a fascist. Nazi refers to a specific political party. Fascist is more general.
The main difference, as I understand, is that national socialism is inherently racist and puts the (Aryan) race on top of the ideology, everything else must submit to the benefit of the (Aryan) race, whereas fascism puts the benefit of the state on top.
https://historyplex.com/difference-between-fascism-nazism
Trump, as fas as I can judge from beyond the pond, is still claiming to put the state, or the United States of America, first, like a fascist would do. His hate speech against immigrants still serves the narrative of them being bad for the US, not of them being disadvantageous towards the benefit of the Aryan race.
If he walks like a nazi, talks like a nazi and acts like a nazi. He’s a fucking nazi.
The distinction between a “real” Nazi and a Hitler fanboy is too fine to matter.
He wants to be Hitler, so that’s close enough for me.
Oh, I’m not saying he’s any better than a Nazi. Just being pedantic.
No, the term "Nazi Party"refers to the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. The term “Nazi” refers to an adherent to the ideology of Hitler Fascism. The NSDAP didn’t typically refer to themselves with that term.
There’s also a square/rectangle situation in play: all Nazis are fascists but not all fascists are Nazis. In this case, though, he’s more on the square side of the comparison. The biggest departures from the ideology are the inclusion of religion and the lack of Lebensraum (at least at home; there’s an ironic argument to be made about how his belief that Bibi is moving too slowly in Gaza indicates that he has an eye towards creating living-space for certain groups at the expense of others).
Four more days. And then another year? Maybe ten?
It’s exhausting.
Virginian here. It’s every year for us. State positions are in the odd years.
Spotless record? Could you simp any harder?
Kamala has a crimal record?
If we lived in a just country she would.
