They can freely pal around with Liz Cheney but turn their nose up to Mamdani.

@redditworldnews.bsky.social I’m trying to figure out why my Reddit account was permanently banned for saying that being Pro-Palestine wasn’t the same thing as being Pro-Hamas. You all said I broke a rule but no one will respond to me saying what that is.

I will always be amused that the old woman in Tangled is a villain for hording the magic flower that keeps her young, but we are supposed to sympathize with the royal family that destroys the flower to save a pregnant queen.

Agreed with this. It’s what I did. I keep Windows for apps and games that need it and Linux everything else.

None of that matters. We get people back from governments all the time and this isn’t even a case of someone being imprisoned BY the other country. We sent them there. We can get them back. They just don’t care.

It’s hard to find forgiveness for their cowardice. I went to grad school for journalism and I don’t think any of these collaborators deserve to whitewash their behavior during this administration. They deserve to fail. Maybe real journalism can emerge.

It’s pretty amazing that they had over three months from the election loss to strategize and have basically come up with nothing.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

I’m glad I live in an age where all these fucking collaborators and bootlickers can be well documented. Only if there were some consequences for whenever we come out the other side.

Republicans want the US to embody all the worst elements of gerontocracy, oligarchy, kleptocracy, and kakistocracy. Whereas democrats want the US to embody all the BEST elements of gerontocracy, oligarchy, kleptocracy, and kakistocracy.

So maybe a world where we feel bad this guy is gunned down we might first take meaningful steps to alleviate the inequality. Until such time, I’ll just continue to feel nothing for these people.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

I guess I struggle to feel bad when we rarely put faces and pleas for sympathy to the thousands of lives this guy has helped ruin for his and his shareholders’ profits.

It’s a tough question. Like I’m wholly apathetic to the plight of rich men who’ve rigged the system for so long, but also it’s a special kind of thing it’s a healthcare CEO from a notorious company.

It’s going to have 4 Sinemas in it regardless at some point soon. And Democratic establishment playing its center right games and pushing out/marginalizing any progressives doesn’t help. Democrats have fought against people like the Squad and fought against being pushed left.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

And the idea that your government must be some large body of incumbents so they “know everything” just doesn’t hold up. That is why we have agencies to advise. Congress already shows an astounding lack of expertise in a number of things and is very slow to adapt to emergent issues.

100

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

You act like they invented the idea. It’s been discussed for a while. As far as term, they serve six years, so I’d say no more than 2-3 terms. Sure they want it to be disruptive. But I also see the Democratic establishment now as being a problem that doesn’t move.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

So that you need to be damn near your 50s and 60s to run for major offices to begin with. More youth is desperately needed.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

And here we are with the Democrats all over already trying to push right anyways. Biden was hardly a progressive. He adopted the messaging of a progressive and did some progressive policy initiatives, but his body of work is basically center right. We need to tackle the issues that make it

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

How do they learn it now? You act like term limits are two years and everyone is out. I think there is some middle ground to life in a political aristocracy and literally no veterancy. Freshmen politicians do learn currently.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Wait, so you cherry pick two terrible politicians and say that represents all GenX politicians?

100

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Because you equate people with limited choice as somehow endorsing or finding a candidate popular.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Donors are still incredibly strong with our current system. It isn’t like these long term incumbents are telling the mega donors to fuck off. Races with incumbents don’t get primaried. How democratic is it to have a singular choice of your party or even maybe no one runs a district.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

All these years and institutional knowledge and Democrats still can’t develop a new leadership group worth anything. I’d wager most people don’t vote because they like the candidate as much as they have an R or D next to their name and that’s all they know or they have to play lesser evil politics.

200

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

I think you overvalue this institutional knowledge. You talk about accountability, but they already aren’t really accountable and just keep getting reelected. Younger reps is a positive. Younger MAGA reps tapped into public anger while Democrats floundered and can’t get it together.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

There really isn’t a reason the same people need to be entrenched in politics for entire generations.

100

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

People like their reps, but hate Congress overall. People constantly vote on low information and name recognition. How many McConnell’s do we want entrenched or Dianne Feinstein’s do we want barely able to function? And yes even for President’s it is good.

200

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

And we should be shaking it up. Older generations have a stranglehold on power. We need more people with more ideas. Lack of term limits aren’t going to keep you from getting screwed over by a party like the Republicans.

110

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Why is it a line we can’t cross in the Senate/House but we have term limits all over the place and for good reason? I don’t really see how it is undemocratic that you can’t vote the same senator due to name recognition donors keeping them afloat but presidents are a hard two terms.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

So they just want another New Deal?

Just because one guy is corrupt doesn’t mean we don’t convict a murderer.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

Im not so sure because the propaganda machine is very strong. It is going to take years of leftist populism actually enacting policy that people can see a tangible benefit from. You still need to combat the xenophobia and religious nature of conservatives and their inclination to hierarchy.

I have been thinking a lot about the trolley question since the shooting and I think this really nails our situation.

If that’s an actual conservative talking about class, I hope they start gaining some class consciousness and read the room they are standing in full of conservatives supporting exploitation.

*isn’t assassinated. Need to proofread my rage better.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

So, yes, a world where someone is assassinated on the street would be nice. But maybe a world where we don’t call a business legitimate that soulessly bankrupts and kills people should come first.

Americans pay thousands in premiums per year just to HAVE the plan and then face countless hurdles in billing and pay thousands out of pocket and then these jackasses still try to screw them out of coverage.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

What’s even worse is if this was almost any other industry where they made decisions that killed people they would likely face some serious investigations from the gov’t, but this is a literal feature of the healthcare industry.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

I am so flabbergasted at the angle they took of Napoleon not being a great general? It’s the weirded British alt history fantasy ever. And Joaquin Phoenix is a very bad casting choice. Great actor. But way too old for the role.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

I’m tired of people thinking that corporations that actively implement methods to worsen the health of millions and lead to premature death through denial of care or suppression of going to a doctor are somehow not murderers. Why should I feel bad for them?

I think my favorite posts of yours are just these sports takes with your destroy ICE tagline. It makes me chuckle every time.

I’m okay with removing liquor ads, too. Gambling is extremely harmful. You can have “useful” info without making it all about betting where far far more people just lose money than win. Sports betting like Draft Kings is designed to physiologically manipulate you.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

I don’t need more competition in my gambling apps. I need them heavily regulated and decoupled from all sports broadcasts. What a cancer.

I have a lot of issues with presidential pardons, but honestly given the rabid fascism we are about to see, my gut reaction is pardoning someone who was already a massive political punching bag of the right wing is a relatively small concern.

000

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Yes and no. I think there is value in being able to be anonymous on platforms. Sure, bots create a real issue, but are we restricting social media to only 18+? Only people who can get IDs? How about countries that can’t easily get it? What about people at risk of real harm for their posts?

000

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

I say this as someone who hates Twitter, but almost half the posts I see on here are shitting on Twitter.

Noel Canter @noelcanter.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

True, but it isn’t like Democrats don’t have a ton of billionaires donating to them, either. GOP messaging wins out because their policy isn’t hampered at all by billionaires where Democrats have a hard time with real populist measures because it turns away their donating class.
