You literally cannot veto anything that passes with 67 of more Senate votes.

You can spare Lemmy the whataboutisms with this one. Everyone is taking a little money from everyone else, but:

Neo-fascists absolutely prefer giving to the Republican Party above all other major parties and vice versa. It's an open-and-shut case. Hardliners in the party routinely echo anything and everything that gets them brownie points from dictators and the country's most degenerate billionaires.

The Democratic Party is not perfect (Israel being the elephant in the room, but make no mistake, Bibi 100% wants Trump back in office). But if anyone is pushing back against the return of fascism the most it's the Dems. And you can see that in hostilities from Republicans and authoritarian governments alike.

The Green Party's main candidate accepted gifts from the Russian Federation through their news network RT, which is basically a propaganda machine for the government which owns them. Stein's ads openly said in 2016 that the Greens wanted Hillary to lose, fearmongering nuclear war with Russia. And this year it's the same old shit with her: just make the Dems lose.

(Side note, Sputnik hired PSL's Eugene Puryear as a long-time host. Also, PSL also has absolutely insane foreign positions. Like I'll be the first to say the West is absolutely an imperfect cultural entity, but you don't gotta just hand it to Putin or Kim Jong Un because they also have a problem with the hegemony.)

For everyone else reading, this is the mask off moment of this poster's true intentions with the incessant propaganda.

Posting to Lemmy is always optional, if you find an article you're apathetic about you don't actually have to post or crosspost it. Try again.

If you care so little about the performance of the 2 major parties of the US electoral system, why did you even bother to post the original article?

You can't predict the weather. Saying for sure that the election is going to go in any particular direction in a public forum is highly irresponsible. Just because you don't want to take an election seriously doesn't mean no one should.

P.S.: The statement at the end is highly pompous, sounds like an AI wrote it, and fails to contribute to the conversation at hand.

The fact that the only responses to this picture have always been whataboutisms is very telling. When ranked-choice voting comes, and I think it will, my first choice vote is gonna go to a leftist party with real principles.

Since your goldfish attention span deleted your memory of Trump's presidency I'll spell it out for you: Trump will be worse.

I wish I was so delusional as to think both sides are equally bad in this situation

In my area I can sometimes find these light blue colored ones that are super rigid, I think they're made of agave? Regardless of the material, I think they're actually just better than plastic for once.

Do only rich people deserve guns?

Do the most vulnerable people in society not deserve a means of self defense or self sufficiency when you consider the demographics of lower earners?

What is the spirit of this legislation - what kind of person is supposed to be targeted by this? What kind of person actually commits gun violence?
