  • Democrats lost 6 millions voters in 2024 compared to 2020.

    Republicans gained 3 million voters in 2024 compared to 2020.

    Third parties stayed the same between 2024 and 2020 at 3 million total voters.

    9 million people chose to abstain from voting in 2024 compared to 2020.

    Even if you add up the some ~1 million uncommitted voters that voted Green or PSL in 2024, this pails in comparison to the amount of people that either switched parties or didn't vote at all.

    Democrats did this to themselves. Kamala ran towards the Republicans instead of rallying to the Democrats' traditional strengths as well as making a coalition with progressives and leftists.

    The more you blame Palestinian voters instead of Democratic party leadership, the more you wish for the destruction of all minority rights in this country.

  • You calling the person above a tankie just shows how ignorant you are.

    They took the time, with references and without name-calling (something you immediately jumped to), to refute your claim about the Chinese government.

    Why can't we have honest, intellectual discussions on the internet?

    Your behavior reflects how most people think about socialists.

  • I'll go ahead and recommend HappyCow for anyone looking for plant-based options outside of their home community.

    They have a map where people can suggest places that have vegetarian or vegan options but are mostly omnivorous, or full on vegetarian or vegan restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, food trucks, you name it. I think HappyCow the company also verifies the places people upload so it's somewhat vetted.

    I find that starting with HappyCow and then cross-referencing with Google Maps or OSM gives me the best results.

  • T-Mobile supports these bands:

    • 5G: n2/41/71/258/260/261
    • 5G,ER: n25
    • 4GLTE: B4/5/12/71
    • 4GLTE,ER: B25/66
    • 2G,GSM: B2

    Fairphone 5 supports these bands:

    • 5G: n1/2/3/5/7/8/20/28/38/41/48/71/77/78
    • 5G,ER: n66
    • 4GLTE: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/20/28/32/38/40/41/42/48/71
    • 4GLTE,ER: B66

    It looks like the Fairphone 5 covers T-Mobile's 5G Frequency Band 1 frequencies (bold), but Frequency Band 2 is not covered (italic).

    Regarding 4G, the Fairphone 5 covers all LTE networks (bold) except for extended range band B25 (italics).

    it doesn't support US bands for TMobile

    It covers some, but not all.

  • another embarrassing false narrative by the Dems.

    Rittenhouse got due process, as much as I and many others regret the jury's verdict.

    Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia got no due process, so no judge nor jury got to cast a verdict on the Trump Administration's claims. Instead, Trump acted as judge, jury, and executioner by sending Garcia to El Salvador when we knew he obtained a withholding of removal specifically for that country in 2019.

    Even if the narratives were false, in Garcia's case, Trump is removing your rights. That alone should be enough to pay attention and disapprove of Trump's actions.

    he was MS13

    He was not. He immigrated to the US without proper documentation in 2011 at the age of 16 to escape gangs in El Salvador. Why would you try to escape gangs if you were part of one?

    a duel citizen

    He was not a dual citizen. Garcia has citizenship in El Salvador, but received a withholding of removal status in the US, an alternative to asylum. He was a legal resident of the US, and a legal citizen of El Salvador.

    he was not MS13

    This is true.

    that doesn’t disprove he was MS13

    No evidence was presented in immigration court that Garcia was part of MS-13. Instead, hearsay from a police officer (who later was found to supply confidential information to an escort, breaking his oath as a cop) and a anonymous informant (who said Garcia was in a NYC MS-13 gang, when Garcia lived in Maryland, not NYC) were deemed good enough for the immigration court. Neither the police officer nor informant were allowed to be cross-examined at the time, so we have no idea if these are lies or not. The judge didn't allow it.

    it is on the judge to show sufficient evidence for their ruling.

    Do you mean it is on the lawyers accusing Garcia to show sufficient evidence? The judge doesn't show evidence in a trial... They rule on the evidence...

    does call into question the rest of his judgement about him being MS13

    As it should. The entire thing was a sham.

    no person would apply only to US citizens?

    This sentence does not make any sense.

    Kilmar being a duel citizen

    Again, Garcia was not a dual citizen. He was a legal resident of the US as afforded by a withholding of removal verdict, and a legal citizen of El Salvador.

    Please for the love of Truth educate yourself before speaking nonsense on the internet. You literally have Chrome or Firefox at your fingertips.

  • This is already common usage and I don't see the need for any prefixes to the word.

    As we've already seen in this thread, sometimes prefixes are needed to help establish the arrow of causation when people do migrate. Did they come to or leave from this or that country? Etc.

    not the current english word.

    Good thing language can change over time :)

  • I mean, you're right that Republicans taking away people's rights should be news. It should be the topmost article on a newspaper.

    Right under that though should be the news about how the supposed opposition party caved in to the Republicans by agreeing and voting in favor, thereby increasing the Republicans' effective party size in the House.

    Democratic representatives not representing their constituents should be news, but of course that news is as old as printing itself, much longer.

  • The claim and exercise of a Constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime.

    Irrelevant to this conversation.

    Persons faced with an unconstitutional licensing law which purports to require a license as a prerequisite to exercise of right… may ignore the law and engage with impunity in exercise of such right.

    By this logic, voter registration isn't in the constitution, so you might be able to make the argument that it violates the 14th, 15th, 19th, and 24th amendments. Again, by this logic, regardless of if people have proper voting registration or any voting registration at all, they should still be able to vote anyways. The 4 Democrats mentioned in the above article pass a law against the above.

    The state cannot diminish the rights of the people.

    Tell that to the Republicans that introduced the above bill.

    there can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one because of his exercise of constitutional rights

    What about the right to protest of UCLA students last April being violated because of false claims of anti-semitism, or the right to protest of Columbia students last March because of similar false claims? Did the US care about imposing sanctions or penalties on those people, or did they just detain and deport them instead?

    a person cannot be compelled “to purchase, through a license fee or a license tax, the privilege freely granted by the constitution.”

    Again, tell that to Republicans that introduced the above bill.

  • Socialism doesn't preclude the rehabilitation of America.

    You and I agree on this. Abandoning capitalism doesn't mean America needs to be destroyed, and adopting socialism doesn't mean America can't be rehabilitated.

    I don't think you're following your own argument here.

    Your original claim refuted the view of the Original Commenter (OC) who thought capitalism always wins, or seeks to concentrate wealth and therefore power in the hands of the few despite the needs of the many. I don't want to assume what your views on capitalism are. Do you think we should keep it as an organization of the economy? Or are there better alternatives? Regulation on capitalism is not a solution imo. As we've seen with Trump and Bush, politicians can be bought out to represent corporate interests, and can install anti-regulation pundits to undermine progress.

    Are you trying to say all socialist call for the destruction of America?

    Quite the opposite. I'm saying I think you say all socialists call for the destruction of America because from how you've presented yourself, you don't recognize the variation in political philosophy on the left. My first comment to you tried to illuminate this variation by refuting your worldview that authoritarian, tankie communism applies to all forms of leftist ideologies, when there are others that don't include such levels of authority.

    I'm not trying to argue. I'm trying to educate.

  • Pretty much sums up your entire philosophy and why no one takes tankies seriously.

    Per your original comment, yes. Pro communist tankies aren't the same as socialists. Wish more people wouldn't make that equation.

    It'd be like me saying that liberals are just MAGAts, when you clearly have different liberal factions like centrists and Social Democrats, and conservative factions like libertarians and fascists.

    Who’s Afraid of Hasan Piker?

    Current affairs magazine Slate reports on the Leftist movement's political equivalent of Joe Rogan: Hasan "Abi" Piker. Slate elaborates on Piker's origins to the political commentary space, substantiates his trials and tribulations with becoming one of the most well known, well paid, hottest socialists, and proposes Piker's no holds barred approach to advocating for the working class American as the Democratic Party's new platform in wake of the humiliating 2024 General Election.

    Consider reading if you aren't familiar with Hasan! He's opened my eyes to a world outside of Capitalism that has helped me better understand open source technologies like FOSS software, and the kinds of systems that inevitably lead to closed source technologies falling apart that serve no one, charging a fortune in return.
