There’s a conspiracy theory that the Superbowl was rigged for the Chiefs so that Taylor Swift would somehow be able to throw more support to Biden. Some even said she’d come out during halftime and make a plug for him.
It is referring to the rampant evil fascism that both the DNC and the RNC are engaging in.
The legions of poli-sci neckbeards who actually do things in between octogenarian photo shoots are the same and aparently “The Party” only has edgy fascist violence to offer.
Meanwhile, its been exactly 10 years and Flint Michigan still does not have potable water.
Lead levels were below the federal threshold in 2023, although they did rise in the second half of the year.
Speaking as a chemical engineer, it is impossible to remove 100% of a contaminant, no matter what substance we’re talking about. All you can do is reduce the concentration until it’s in benign levels, which is what the federal thresholds are. I had a college class that briefly mentioned it once, but the standard iirc is effectively set at a value where the increased risk of injury is lower than everyday exposure risks.
In other words – if you’re going to go all “both sides”, pick something which is an actually an issue, instead of spreading fake news and pontificating on it. If both sides are truly as equally bad as you say, you can surely find a different issue which is still a problem, instead of one that is largely solved. And hey, if this is the best you can find, maybe that says something about your claim.
A “both sides” guy should be able to show that these two parties are equally bad in all ways, or that if one party is better for one aspect they are worse in a different aspect. I don’t think they can.
Especially where we are at: one party committed an insurrection and is running the insurrectionist as their candidate. There is no room for acting like they’re equally bad, because the book burnings have already started.
Edit: Lemmy turning into an echo chamber like Reddit politics sub has. It’s literally a video of Obama drinking Flint water and telling the people it’s fine.
what’s it referring to? my only guess is the re-sending of a similar Israel/Ukraine support bill?
The Chiefs winning the super bowl and Taylor Swift being some QAnon conspiracy
ugh… I wasn’t thinking outside the box hard enough to connect it to the football game…
thanks though!

The last part is particularly funny considering, you know, there’s no winner yet at half time
There’s not even a winner at full time.
No see, there was a winner before the whole thing even started man

Well said
If you’re mad about undrinkable water in a single city, are you not more mad about what happens to the EPA under deregulatory administrations?
Here’s Obama in Flint telling them their water is fine…

Hate Trump. Hate Republicans in general.
Over the past 8 years, I have developed the same hate for Democrats.
The 2 party system must be rejected.
