If anyone talking about funding ICE doesn’t get primary’d, they will absolutely tank any chance the dems have of taking congress in 2022, let alone the presidency in 2024.

They had to get a different algo and server infra under Trump I and Biden because they were threatening it back then on grounds that they would spy on american’s data. They proceeded to start deranking anything political during the 2020 protests and hiring former spooks to moderate content, but that was never going to be enough.

How much of that is because Samsung actually offers <200USD phones, a market segment Apple ignores?

I’ve only had good experiences with spirit and frontier. The existence of discount airlines decreases what the others can charge.

Wait, did my neighbor spend a year screaming at anybody that tried to tell the guy killing baby after baby that if he doesn’t stop it, someone else is going to come kill 10 babies?

This isn’t a good metaphor. The libs who got us here aren’t the victims.

Yes, thats the fucking democrats. They knew genocide, sending cops to kick the shit out of the politically engaged young people that make up the core of dem ground game, while calling them antisemitic, that trying to be republicans all lower turnout with the base, they did it anyway, they intend to do it again.

So why is your ire with the people who don’t trust the guy who refuses to stop killing a baby every day? You get the guy to stop killing a baby every day and you’ll have no issue getting people to trust them over the guy who kills 5.

But its really, really difficult to get people to enthusiastically support the guy who killed a baby every day, and promises to do it again.

It would be trivial if instead of killing babies, they stopped killing babies, then I could say “vote for our guy, the other guy is promising to resume the genocide”, but instead we had dipshits in November of 2022 telling us to vote for more dead babies instead of telling the only alternative to the republicans “what the fuck, are you trying to lose?”

Who are the democrats in this metaphor? Some guy who was stabbing my bleeding neighbor with a different knife after Trump briefly stopped stabbing them?

They are factually genocide supporters, this is the fault of the democratic party.

I pointed out what politicians need to do to get elected, namely improve the material conditions of the people whose votes they want, but other ways too. If you interpret “dems need to not suck shit to earn votes” as telling people not to vote, thats on you.

When did I ever say anything about how I voted?

In any case, my individual vote had no effect at all on the outcome of the election. A change in dem policy and action would have had an effect.

Look back at my posts and point to the thing I said that suggests I want to “let bad people burn down the system and think your perfect ideology will rise from the ashes”.

Because that is the opposite of what I want, or what I expect would happen in America, so I’m confused what words I said that coukd possibly give that impression.

Wikipedia already has a decades operating cost of savings.

What the fuck are you talking about?

It seems like you just made a person up in your head to get mad at.

When have I been silent?

I have been screaming this shit would happen since they ratfucked Bernie in 2016

If you’re campaigning on killing a child every day, you absolutely suck at your job and need to be replaced. It is predictable that many people aren’t going to vote for you.

No logic or vote-shaming or whatever is going to make killing a child every day a popular policy. You can change policy, you can’t convince voters that actually killing a child every day is OK because the other party wants to kill 10 children every day.

And doing fuckall to improve your constituents material conditions for 4 years while also facilitating genocide, sending the police to kick the shit out of the politically activated kids, you know the ones who phone bank and get all their friends to vote, funding ICE, etc is exactly how you make sure people won’t vote for you.

Nothing I did encouraged the dems to do these things. Instead I encouraged the democrats to do the things they needed to do to win, while every lib demanding we vote blue no matter who 2 years away from the election helped them maintain the delusion the dems could win while telling their base to eat shit.

It would have been so easy too, all the dems had to do was not include ICE or Israel funding in the federal budget, or just refuse to dispense the funds, or order the head of ICE Biden appointed to fire everyone and spend the funds on something worthwhile, and suddenly the republicans symbolize returning this great evil the democrats just ended. But they had no interest in stopping any of that shit, and now here we are.

I absolutely do care, hence why I point out what needed to be done to change the outcome.

Would you point to anything I have said that suggests I’m fine with what’s happening under Trump?

No, pointing out that the dems chose to enable this is not being fine with what’s happening under Trump. Funding the gestapo being bad when the dems did it does not make it good when Trump does it.

We aren’t the ones who could have simple not funded ICE.
