  • Poor soul thinks said corporate media somehow exists completely outside of the scope of the DNC as if the DNC itself isn’t just a convention for corporate donors to show up and throw in their demands in exchange for campaign funds and lobbying money.

    I mean I’m sure the headline NYT article about Clinton having a 91% chance of winning was totally some next level corporate funded psyop and not a one of the many thousands of advertisements paid for by the DNC. /s

    No, it’s totally the corporate media that’s after her and has absolutely nothing to do with the candidate that dropped the entire uncommitted movement worth of constituents for $100 mil in corporate AIPAC money. /s

    Wasn’t there a recent conspiracy theory that the establishment doesn’t want Trump (hence the assassination attempts) because he’s an easily manipulated loose canon who doesn’t follow orders like a good shill should lol?

    Point being that dems lost this election because they are inherently more pro establishment and have been for a while.






  • Don’t know why this is getting downvoted when it’s literally the core reason she lost.

    Trump did bargain basement campaigning whilst Harris told the entire uncommitted movement to fuck off.

    Like yeah no shit all the swing states went red, you alienated your own voterbase and then demanded votes because “the other guy is worse”.

    Even a seasoned Democrat would at least go through the effort of pretending to care about issues and demands to get votes (Obama?). She straight up dropped actual constituents for chump change in PAC money like that somehow substitutes the electoral process.

    It’s been 5 days and lemmy is still getting spammed with braindead posts blaming the 5 communists that live in the US along with concluding 20 million Democrat voters were actually just Republicans in disguise.

    It almost feels like reddit again where people can’t put two and two together.


  • Love this comments section in denial because they refused to read past the title in both the post and article that clearly states most Palestinians don’t expect a difference.

    The Palestinians in the biggest city on the West Bank seem to have already come to a provisional consensus: that the US election result has no real impact here because things could not possibly be worse.

    The recently fired Israeli defense minister was allegedly claiming all the military objectives in Gaza were achieved, and that there’s no need for ignoring a hostage deal.

    So I’m really failing to see how this isn’t already rock bottom.

    13 straight months of giving Israel a free pass, Trump literally can’t improve the maxed out arm sales even if he tried.

    And I can bet you my life saving Biden will do jack shit to stop Israel in his remaining 3 months even though he has nothing to lose.










  • The protocol isn’t even the issue, banks already use XRP.

    It’s the fact that USD is propped up by Uncle Sam’s globalized monopoly which is kept in tip top shape by geopolitical power.

    Everyone trades in USD because it’s the de facto currency and it’s stable because the government can abuse its power to keep it that way.

    No one trusts the value of the Ruble, Yuan, Rupee, or even any other currency except for maybe the Euro. They all exist for internal use, which means its just gets compared in value to USD whenever you have to deal with anything external, which is all the time.

    BRICS would only fly if a stable trade medium can rapidly prove its worth with market stress and trade requirement, otherwise everyone will just continue to use USD, hence why the USA doesn’t currently view it as much of a threat. And even if you could get countries on board, the US can hold on to a massive noose around everyone’s neck by refusing to trade in anything but USD, which would effectively shut you off from trading with a massive portion of US based/owned/partner companies.
