Lol, bazinga, you nailed me. Good job comrade, another lib owned!

You could just say you don’t understand how federal laws are passed in the United States and I’m sure someone would you the ELI5.

This video is a pretty great introduction to how laws are passed.

Once you understand that hopefully you’ll understand why Joe Biden can’t just do all the things he’d like to.

How do you use Mullvad without an account?

This is really unfortunate. Bowman had a choice between doing what he thought was right and oppose Israel’s invasion of Gaza or keep his head down and probably get reelected.

I feel this is a great example of the Overton window in action, and AOC easily winning her primary shows how broadly the window can vary even in adjacent districts.

What a weird reason to make an account.

Which Trump policy’s do you expect to cause deflation significant enough to reduce your grocery bill?

Which Trump policy’s do you expect to reduce your dependcy on owning a car so that you won’t be at the mercy of oil companies, car manufacturers, and insurance companies in order to survive?

Biden really needs to be more carful when filling out those reports.

So what will stop October 7ths from happening again and again? If Isreal pulled out of Gaza and the West bank entirely Hamas would decide that everyone lives in peace?

Studying first thing it the morning is what works for me.

I get up early, study/work for a few hours, and then go about my day. If I do something else first any chance at studying evaporates (unless of course there’s the looming deadline).

Banning Democratic candidates from taking campaign contributions from outside actors like the AIPAC, but those are a pretty small drop in the bucket of the total spending.

This article summarizes the spending on the Bowman election.

About $22 million has been spent on the Bowman/Latimer race. About $6 million of that comes from campaign spending which you suggestion might address. It would be pretty easy to bypass the restriction because most of the AIPAC funding comes from bundling individual donations; the AIPAC could send links to contributors and have them directly donate to Latimer’s campaign as individuals completely bypassing the process. So not really much the DNC can do there.

The majority of the money being spent on the campaign (about $16 million) is from independent PACs. Even if the DNC did ban contributions from these groups going directly to campaigns, that portion of their spending is really a very small piece of the funding that’s being addressed (less than $3.2 million). The vast majority is really outside the candidates control, if a PAC wants to send out mailers and run advertisements they can pretty much do it with impunity.

How is the DNC leadership expected to control the spending of PACs and the contributions of individuals? (Your original claim was the DNC is allowing these things to happen, I’m simply rephrasing the claim not trying to move the goal posts).

We 100% need campaign finance reform, and less outside influence on elections in general, but blaming this situation on the DNC doesn’t seem appropriate.

You genocide lovers just can’t get enough genocide. The invasion in Gaza isn’t enough for you, you guys just have to get Trump into the Oval office so you guys can really ramp things up.

…Democratic leadership hasn’t been allowing the AIPAC to dump millions into primaries…

That’s an interesting take. What can the Democratic leadership do to stop this?

Probably should block @TheEmpororHasNoClothes@mas.to too while you’re at it

What a weird non-sequitur comment

Mitigation is a relative term. Biden’s policies are going a long way to mitigate harm done compared to Trump’s. You may not like it, but that’s reality.

You’re not actually doing anything to prevent or mitigate genocide. You can pretend you’re anti-genocide all day long, but at the end of the day you’re doing absolutely nothing about it. And the one thing you can do to mitigate, vote for the candidate that is calling for restraint, you’re refusing to do.

So you say you’re anti-genocide but your actions are 100% pro-genocide. You can lie to yourself but that doesn’t change reality.
