Simple terms… like “SJW”?

To clarify, that case was thrown out becuase plaintiffs lacked standing.

To further clarify, the court threw out 2 of the claims due to lack of standing. The other 4 claims were dismissed on the merits.

The court held that the plaintiffs’ claims of fraud, negligent misrepresentation, consumer law violations, and unjust enrichment failed on the merits and directed those claims to be dismissed with prejudice. The court held that plaintiffs’ claims of negligence and breach of fiduciary duty failed for lack of standing,

They may be referring to the Wilding v. DNC Services Corp case. DNC lawyers argued that they could overturn the democratic results of the primary if they so choose.

The DNC won that case.

I guess “vote blue no matter who” only applies when you’re punching left…

In an ideal world, Hitchen’s Razor would be applied whenever a politician speaks and whenever an advertisement plays.

Unfortunately for us, human psychology makes us all vulnerable.

Riots in the streets now is preferable to the current path where our great grandchildren all die from heat stroke.

But I agree with your point, the political calculus doesn’t make sense. If politicians are afraid of riots in the streets then we need to give them something worse to fear.

Ecoterrorism or extinction seem to be the only options available.

The problem is that the Trump and Biden camps set the rules at this debate.

The moderators were not allowed to live fact check, nor could they cut the candidate’s mic during their allotted time.

This means that the responsibility of countering Trump’s lies fell completely on Biden. There are so many lies, it would be a difficult task for any person.

But Biden signed up for this, and he failed spectacularly. None of Trump’s bullshit was effectively countered.

I think its only a RBG situation if Biden dies soon.

It’s more of a Diane Feinstein situation, where everyone can see the dementia progressing, but everyone around them has a vested interest in keeping the status quo.

Yes change the system first, and lifestyle change will follow.

For example if we do something relatively small like ending beef subsidies here in the US, then ground beef will double or triple in price, and people will naturally consume much less.

This would be much more effective than any campaign trying to convince people to eat less meat.

Everyone here on Lemmy could drastically change their lifestyle and it wouldnt matter.

Chevron et al. will still destroy the planet.

We need systemic change.

This is false, the DNC has fought in court for the right to overrule the results of the primary. It was litigated in Wilding v. DNC Services Corporation.

Court Concedes DNC Had the Right to Rig Primaries Against Sanders

Obvious he had a slight cold.

Also obvious he is sundowning.

If we want to prevent President Trump then the DNC needs to switch horses quickly.

Arredondo was taken into custody at the Uvalde County Jail Thursday afternoon, where family members and parents of several victims of the shooting gathered.

Finally, some good fucking news.

If the Israeli war crimes would stop, then there would be no need for Lebanon to attack.

Why is this news and upvoted now? They have been running these disclaimers for a long time.

I believe they started running disclaimers after Fox, Dominion reach $787M settlement over election claims which happened last April.

By “surprise” I assume you mean a capital-friendly, poorly implemented solution that does not solve the underlying problem. All of your examples illustrate this.

The first black president was a war criminal who enacted a right wing agenda.

Gay marriage is likely to be overturned by our billionaire-owned, unaccountable Supreme Court.

Legal marijuana is a patchwork- the best states have inefficient and nonsensical cannabis regulations, and the worst states still have inhumane, draconian punishment.

Despite the small amount of forgiveness, the total amount of student loans owed is rising. Currently we are at a record high of $1.75 trillion in debt.

And as for universal healthcare, the number of uninsured and underinsured keeps rising. The number of deaths due to lack of access keeps rising. And there are many people, like myself, who have had their lives destroyed by medical bankruptcy. The entire system is designed to maximize profit, patient health is a secondary concern.

But that explanation is lost to time.

One translation I read suggested a probable explanation.

Rasputin’s phone advice was the same as many modern quacks: keep the patient away from modern medicine and doctors.

So the hemophiliac prince was no longer given his normal removedtail of drugs, which probably included a new medicine for the time: aspirin.

Stop giving a blood thinner to a hemophiliac and his condition (temporarily) improved. The best explanation for the people at the time was “magic”.

I honestly think if he took his shirt off it would cost him the election.

Seeing the flabby, 78-year-old American physique in all its glory would be both a literal and figurative “emperor has no clothes” moment for many of his cultists.

Yes your quote really drives home my point. They wrote the debate qualifications specifically so that rfkjr wouldnt make the cut.

From what I understand, he will probably qualify for the ballot in all 50 states. Since this debate is happening unusually early, his ballot access has not been certified yet.

I dont feel strongly about rfk, it’s probably better for America that he is not on that stage. But this is just one more example of how our two political parties operate in a corrupt, anti-democratic way. They have no principles nor morals, its power politics all the way down.

Rfkjr is literally crazy, yes, but it’s hard to deny the fact that the debate qualification rules were written specifically to exclude him.
