More people need to start acting petulant and childish with Trump. It's the only language he understands.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 48 points 3 weeks ago (9 children)

Trump is a narcissist. There is no language he "understands" other than ass-kissing and getting his way.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 32 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah but openly mocking him gets under his skin, and while he's rage posting about getting his feefees hurt that's less time for him to be doing anything else. It's like those guys who waste the time of scam callers.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

Narcissists very much understand mocking. They're deeply insecure and it's basically the worst thing you can do to them.

Anything left of Hitler is "radical left."

[–] III@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Give conservatives some time - I am sure Hitler will be a woke leftist to them if you waited long enough.

The cankles are low hanging fruit, but, we need to normalize more slap back.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Man, with cankles that size they’ll be slapping against one another with each pedo-step he takes.

At this point I get way more "good cop/bad cop" than I perceived any actual resistance

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yea, its just "banter". Newsome could say he will run for president and have ICE (and those that enabled ICE) arrested as an executive order day one. He could say as president he would do a capital levy of 50% on every billionaire as an executive order.

Instead we get stupid insults.

He forgot the "thank you for your attention in this matter"

[–] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 weeks ago

Perfect. Trump gonna need some ketchup for these harsh browns (he'll only throw it at the walls, I know)

Cankles works on double digit IQ dipshits like Trump. Keep it up Newscum!

California should secede.

It would immediately bankrupt the US. All those mags loving red states are barely able to survive without money flowing in from blue states, and California is not only its largest economy, it's one of the largest economies in the world. California moves away and good luck for those red states getting money to feed their rich.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I saw something where Kentucky takes a lot of federal money, yet they vote red all the time

Yayy everyone worship our new Neoliberal darling!

Watch as he is painted to be the only hope of a dying country despite being controlled opposition.

The DNC needs to die

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 27 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

"Democrats need to grow a spine and start openly criticizing Trump"

"No, not that one!"

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Always screaming, "Do something! I'm sitting here very unhappy!!!"

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

I just wish the Left put half the effort into politics and coalition-building that they put into ideological purity-testing.

It's embarrassing how much better the Right is at playing politics and it's a huge factor in why they are taking so much ground.

What?

They needed to keep the government shut down until they extracted something of value for the American people you fucking idiot.

It's not hard to understand how the dems folding like tissue paper when their voters told them NOT TO was a stupid move.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 3 points 3 weeks ago

I think you replied to wrong comment.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

not disagreeing but I’d rather the gop dies first. I’m no newsome fan but it would make OUR jobs so much easier to fight against his neoliberal shit takes than these all out fascist ones.

The dems are awful, but Biden dropping out does at least show that with enough pressure, they will respond (or cave, I mean it’s in their nature). This administration only cares about themselves, they see the rest of us as their peasants.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think one can exist without the other. They depend on each other to maintain power.

If there was a people's party that actually forced the rich to make concessions, there wouldn't be a contest.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I agree on all counts. I just think to get that party, we’ve got to get rid of the current ones. I’ve always been one to tackle the biggest challenge up front so my focus is still on the gop, but make no mistake, dems need to go too, at least the vast majority.

Thankfully there are folks working from the inside otherwise NYC would have turned out different. Honestly, their weakness means it’s an easier one to take back. I don’t care if the party names remain, but the power structure inside them needs to be gone yesterday.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I would love for the republicans to be gone so it would feel "safe" voting 3rd party, but i genuinely think the two parties keep each other alive so people hold out hope that one of them might one day do something good for people, but they are just taking up space where the real political parties would otherwise live.

This here is an example of good being the enemy of perfect.

[–] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago (9 children)

No, it's an example of us having been on this ride before so we recognize the setup. It's going to be yet another round of "now isn't the time for progressives" even though anything else is just slower fascism.

A Newsom presidency would be better than Republicans, sure, but it's going to continue the slide into fascism just like every neoliberal power grab does. We don't need perfect, but a neoliberal doesn't count as good.

YOU MAD
bringing back crusty old memes

[–] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Is there somewhere we can go that isn't invaded by sycophantic corpo-Dem bootlickers? I'm really tired of them acting like everything is fine as long as they vote D and demonize any opposing opinion.

If his cankles are only 4th in size, who have the 3 fatter cankles? 🤔

He's right. Still would be a terrible choice for president. Stop falling for literally the same schtick we name fun of Republicans for.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

What, you want stats and policy papers? You know they have them, right - as opposed to the GQP. Check out their 2020 party platform for some serious political vision.
