What if it is an excuse to put people that openly oppose colonialism and authority under control and fear? They maybe don't care that much for Israel but why miss this opportunity?

Only Cyberpunk 2077 in path tracing. The only game i have not played until i can run it on ultra settings. But for that amount of money, i better wait until the real 2077 to see it happen.

Really? Because Scandinavia has really nice ice cream. Europe too, with some problems.

In Germany the Social Democratic Party (SPD) in the early 1930s prioritized legalistic resistance (e.g speeches, court challenges) over mass mobilization. They rejected general strikes against Hitler even after the Reichstag fire. Also there was No mass uprising when Hitler dismantled civil liberties, the people and the parties had no coordinated strike network.

Guess what happened. Guess whats happening now.

YES, THAT’S THE POINT OF HARM REDUCTION

You are not getting it, are you?

Suppose the Dems won with the Harm Reduction policy. What do you think would happen after 4 years? Trumpism would surrender? Fascist would say, ah we lost lets give up?

No, you are in a permanent state, where Dems making only the bare minimum, people voting them out of fear, for what? Forever? You call that a solution? Because that already may happened. Maybe Biden elected as a harm reduction. But this aint go forever.

Minimum wage: Dems ran on $15 since 2015. Reality? In 2021, 8 Senate Dems killed it. “$11 is more reasonable”, Result: 20 states still at $7.25.

Corporate taxes: Biden’s 2022 “win” (15% min tax) affects 150 companies. Meanwhile, Amazon paid 0% in 2021. Dems folded on closing offshore loopholes.

Military spending: Obama’s “cuts” were a theater. He ended ground wars but quadrupled drone strikes (civilian deaths went up 400%). Biden signs $886B budget, higher than Trump did.

Healthcare: 2009: Dems had 60 votes. They gutted the public option to please Big Pharma donors.

Dems had 4 months at 60 seats in 2009 and 18 days at 50+VP in 2021. Both times, they negotiated against themselves.

Harm reduction in a burning building is not a permanent solution.

I shit him for the name of the Party, not being South African.

Also wait 20 years more with the ongoing climate change, and you get to know how the Dinos felt.

I hear minimum wage is the same as it was in 2010. Also big companies pay less taxes than small business or not at all. Military budget goes up every year. Healthcare is a joke for the richest country of the world. etc..

The America Party run by a South African.

Popcorn is not enough for this country.

I'm sorry but this is an old tactic in my country. 2 major parties always fighting for power, and the one always ask to vote them because the other party will destroy the country.

And the blame goes to the no voters or the ice-cream voters or the voters that turn their back, not to the party itself or to their voters that did shit when they were in power for many years. Maybe its time to pay attention to what caused the problem and not to the result.

As for the USA, Trump is the outcome of the Democrats acting as Republicans for decades.

Edit: Last sentence is a bit oversimplification of the story, but Democrats had abandoned the working class and the low income people. They acted like moderate Republicans, especially in the economy.
