She did that two years ago, she cast the tie breaking vote against a fracking ban.

It's not just a couple moves thinking it'll help her win the election, it's been a steady and sustained change. Obama did it too, but he started a lot further left than Kamala.

Basically took every major platform point from Joe Biden and moved it right...

Because the DMC thinks thatbsince she's not a walking corpse, voters will hold their nose for shittier policy.

The goal of the DMC is to give voters just enough that they could win, instead, we could give voters the platform they want and just always win

But campaigns wouldn't cost over a billion dollars then

It was 1940 when the 40 hour work week started, easy to remember, but is going to be real fucking depressing in 2040 when we haven't made anymore progress

Neither was "the nicest guy in the world" he was blindly doing anything that was asked of him and completely wasting his life because he guessed the afterlife was based off some kind of points system, he happened to get almost all of it right.

Biden believes the moral solution is always to 100% support Israel.

Regardless of if either of them guesses right or not, they're doing the exact same thing.

That show is amazing and you should rewatch it

The Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Simon Harris has described Israel’s attack on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon as a breach of international law.

Speaking to BBC News in Washington DC, Harris said it was an "extraordinarily concerning development". The IDF has acknowledged that its troops "opened fire in the area" of the base in Naqoura on Thursday after instructing UN troops to "remain in protected spaces". Ireland has 379 troops in Lebanon as part of the UNIFIL peacekeeping mission. None were hurt in Thursday's attacks but two Indonesian soldiers were injured.

The taoiseach described attacks on three United Nations Interim Force positions in Lebanon (UNIFIL) as "really dangerous, despicable attacks on peacekeepers".

He added that the IDF had positioned themselves at a UNIFIL outpost which was being manned by about 30 Irish peacekeepers, but had since moved following UN and US intervention.

Even more fucked up then I've heard so far, they're literally taking over outposts...

I'm really starting to think Bibi's plan is seize power and flip loyalties to Putin.

If they help Bibi coup, and get trump in office in America...

Putin's going to do anything possible to get that, he'd be able to end Ukraine, and stand up to the UN itself if you add in NK and other countries for sheer amount of soldiers for the meat grinder.

And it's pretty much the only way to win Ukraine is flip at least one of the two.

Pete and Bas, they've been doing it for a while now, couple years at least started during Covid.

The story is one of their granddaughters showed them modern UK rap and they got into it. Some people say they used to be proper hardcore organized crime members in top of that.

They do live shows and everything tho, like it is really them doing it

Lately there's more rumors that their earliest stuff was ghostwritten by another (much younger) duo who just started up with incredibly similar music, Nine and Dex:

Edit:

Went back and listened to a couple of there songs...

T-Pain and the one I linked both even start with a woman saying

Nine... And One...

And one of the younger duos has a dude named Nine. So he's probably producing both or something. It's weird I never saw anyone else mention that before.

But even if Pete and Bas didn't write their first stuff (they might have) them being old as fuck is why it went viral and the style is catching on. More variety in rap is always a good thing.

But if you want the first old British guys rapping, it's The Northern Boys

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLLQFLXz6VE

And they're in one of Pete and Bas' first videos.

So like, maybe it's all organic, but after watching the Kneecap movie, I really really really want one about how all this shit went down starring the actual musicians playing themselves

There's so many things Kamala can do to guarantee she wins...

Taking a stand against genocide is just one of them, but she just keeps going to the right.

It's the exact opposite of what voters want, but exactly what donors want and why they're donating.

Shit won't get better until we at least get dirty money out of our party.

The vast majority of people think they're the good guys...

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Nope, if she could count on 58% of the votes, it wouldn't be a battleground state...

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 18 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Kamala change on fracking could very well cost us the state.

It's insane it's not what the national voters want, it's not what battleground voters, it's not even what the platform is...

But Kamala loves fracking now, so we all get fracking.

Pennsylvania voters continue to be split over fracking. A poll out this week, which surveyed 700 likely voters in September, shows 58% support a ban on fracking while 42% oppose it.

https://www.wvia.org/news/pennsylvania-news/2024-10-10/pa-voters-split-on-fracking-but-show-widespread-support-for-stronger-regulations

Can anyone give me a single valid reason for her to be pro-feacking besides donations, which will need to be used to make up for her stance on fracking?

They make a good point about this method keeping a game going a decade, but this limits people who want to get into the game 5 years in.

Base game might only be $25, but so are the 5 DLCs since.

For someone who plays that game often and buys as they come out. It's not that bad

But for more casual or new players, they might not want to invest in the base game if they're not sure about the mods. It feels like you're paying for half a product.

I think they can easily get away with selling a new game in a series every 2-3 and retain more features.

Money.

The precursor to AIPAC had to register as a foreign agent, so AIPAC sprung up immediately to do even worse shit.

Like, we just saw the primary where they'd throw millions into random House seats because the Dem incumbent was progressive.

Politicians either agree with Israel or are afraid to speak out.

Either way they need replaced, because the fucked up part about Russia influencing our elections illegally, is Israel is a perfect example of how to loophole it. There's nothing stopping other countries from doing this, and with how poorly the pac system is regulated, they probably already are.

India leads the world in generating plastic pollution, producing 10.2 million tons a year (9.3 million metric tons), far more than double the next big-polluting nations, Nigeria and Indonesia. China, often villainized for pollution, ranks fourth but is making tremendous strides in reducing waste, Velis said. Other top plastic polluters are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia and Brazil. Those eight nations are responsible for more than half of the globe’s plastic pollution, according to the study’s data.

The United States ranks 90th in plastic pollution with more than 52,500 tons (47,600 metric tons) and the United Kingdom ranks 135th with nearly 5,100 tons (4,600 metric tons), according to the study.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration last week set a hearing date to take comment on the proposed historic change in federal drug policy for Dec. 2.

The hearing date means a final decision could well come in the next administration. While it’s possible it could precede the end of President Joe Biden’s term, issuing it before Inauguration Day “would be pretty expedited,” said cannabis lawyer Brian Vicente.
