I said harris and not her party for a very good reason. This post is about Harris as a person and her track record of saying one thing and her actions showing another. Between her attack on trans people as the attorny general to her complete lack of action on abortion. Some other person in congress doing something really means very little to me in that context as it says nothing about Harris who as a leader had far more power to bring about an actual abortion amendment and she never even **attempted** it.
Quite a bit, the vice president is largely focused on internal affairs while the president is largely focused on international affairs.
This is why the vice president is in charge of the senate and has particular power when voting there. Of the two Harris is far more capable of introducing bills as the head of the senate than Biden is.
Actually Trump and Biden deported approximately the same number of illegal immigrants. In fact it was Obama who deported significantly higher numbers than either of these.
Also under trump more trans people in holding for deportation were given gender affirming care than under Harris, by the numbers (at least according to the source i read when doing some research recently, I dont have it anymore on hand sadly for this fact).
Two statements in one sentence reminded me the apocalypse is now :)
@umad80 According to biden everything good that happens is because of him, everything bad is because of Trump.
I've finally set up bridging of my Mastodon account to Bluesky through https://fed.brid.gy/
Highly recommend to bridge as well so we can break the silos a bit and 1) follow each other's content and 2) have interactions visible in each other's platforms
@cobratbq I wasnt criticisng you, I know what you meant. All im saying is that if society sees unconditional compassion as suspicious that should not at all effect a good persons desire to be compassionate without condition, if he is truly a good person. But it is sad society would respond in such a way.
@freemo you know, I got a nice anecdote on that. In the middle of the ongoing harassment campaign, when we were at the height of throwing statements at me day and night that were clearly intended as attacks and (false) accusations, there was the occasional disconnected comment.
More than once have I seen statements like "you know, that's just someone being kind", which was interpreted as manipulation of some kind or another. So, no, even just being kind isn't acceptable anymore.
@cobratbq If you are being kind because it is "acceptable" then you are doing it for the wrong reasons. that said it is sad when a society is so broken it even finds a reason to hate kindness.
I cant in good conscious click a vox link. But I am curious what country Hu is, I never heard of Hu.. Hungary?
Please do! Taking yourselves off the market and leaving the good ones would be doing us all a favor, you have any idea how much work it is to avoid misandry.
This literally describes pretty much anywhere other than the USA and some of the middle east.
@Shanmonster and what a lovely bum it is, thank you for the share.
Ahhh ok, thanks for clarifying.
Oh i think this happened like over a year ago didnt it? I think I heard of that actually, some sort of disrespect thing I think at a temple or something.
What is the case for specifically? Sounds like no one will be loosing sleep over it.
