    That’s your opinion mang thats fine. And just like the failure of the Biden administration to do anything to stop a genocide , you can choose to see or not see whatever you like.

    Hasan is a political commentator who reads and responds to the news outloud. And they do it in a way which most people under the age of 40 would do it, in a mocking, casual sometimes cynical view. And people can relate to that; they aren’t just reenforcing establishment views.

    Here’s what its going to come down to: Hasan picked the winners. The canddiates they endorsed and supported, they made it through their primaries, and after making it through the primaries, they are winning their elections. They are more ideologically similar to Hasan and most of the people here, than you or other centrist/ rightwing politics. But more importantly, they picked winners, and supported them early when early support makes the difference. That makes them a king maker.

      Lemmy hates centrists but we’re a better representation of the majority of the voters.

      How’s the genocides doing now?

      I know Biden supported Ukraine much more and I’m also thinking there was a reason why that cunt Netanyahu wanted Biden gone and Trump in.

        I mean no you are not. Centrism has lost every election where its been tried. You don’t represent anyone. Socialism/ Social Democracy is far more popular with voters.

        How’s the genocides doing now?

        Its your genocide bruh, you own it, so you tell me.

          Registered voters are abandoning bOtH pArTiEs, now down to 28% each; independents are up to 44% of voters. That’s gone up like 5% since Biden was in office, mang

          Pew research. You better call them and tell them that you disagree so that they can fix it!

          It’s worked well when the candidates hasn’t been women because America, the democrats and leftists seem to have a big problem with women in power.

            Just like how supporting a genocide handed the election to fascists, your blinders say more about you than they do about reality.

              Nice pivot from the sexism found in the left.

              Biden and Harris ran a very similar campaign and it was okay when Biden ran it but not when a woman did.

              The genocides are all worse now.

                “Worse” doesn’t mean that Biden didn’t kill a lot of innocent people and children. Also Biden has killed more Palestinians than Trump has. Not sure how he’s been worse.

                The problem you’re missing IS that they ran the same campaign… and WHAT happened in between those two elections? What happened, say, early October 2023 and as a result of? I’ll let you figure that one out for yourself.

                Harris would have won if she moved left of Biden, woman or not. It was very clear that’s what we needed and it’s very clear they ran away from you (the blue voter) in favor of Trump voters. Why you’d still fall for it years later is beyond me.

                Does anyone else remember Tim Walz, governor of my great home state, who is on record saying he loves Isreal btw, told JD Vance in a debate about a “preemptive strike on Iran”? Because I do.

                Hell, does anyone even remember during the state of the union Trump said he would invade Iran to “protect its sovereignty a after evil government killed a bajillion protesters” or something dumb like that and fucking ELIZABETH WARREN GAVE HIM A STANDING OVATION?!? because I remember.

                People don’t see war and genocide in terms of “bad and worse” because that’s how children think and behave. Genocide is bad and genocidal democrats don’t deserve power because you think they’re a little bit better than the genocidal republicans.

                it was okay when Biden

                People were rightfully upset with Biden while he was in office. This is revisionism.

                Your view was the standard view in 2024/25, from corporate sources, and I think much of the population simply accepted that view, especially among liberals.

                But you’ve lost. And no one believes you or your sources in corporate media. Its clear that your ideology is bankrupt, so people have abandoned you.

                The hollowness and emptiness of your perspective is exactly why Hasan is ascendant, and you and your twins in corporate media are descendant.

                The pattern is AIPAC. Many of the people leveling these critiques against Harris or Clinton would support AOC running for president.

                Harris and Clinton are really unlikeable people. Using Clinton is not a good example. She’s a war criminal.
