Just in time! Only took decades, and the original people who were forced off the island are mostly gone. I do appreciate them trying to make things right. I wish the US would work harder to fix the human rights violations it has committed in it’s past.
LOCK THEM UP!
This isn’t the first time the US would rather citizens not know their rights. I am sure there are a couple cases, but the US helped Britain keep it’s citizens in the dark when the British kicked out the people of the Chagos Islands. From Wikipedia
The Chagos Islands had been home to the Chagossians, a Bourbonnais Creole-speaking people, until the United Kingdom expelled them from the archipelago at the request of the United States between 1967 and 1973 to allow the United States to build Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia, a military base on Diego Garcia, on land leased from the UK military in the British Indian Ocean Territories. Since 1971, only the atoll of Diego Garcia has been inhabited, and only by employees of the US military, including American civilian contracted personnel. Since being expelled, Chagossians, like all others not permitted by the UK or US governments, have been prevented from entering the islands.
The British government would find ways to get the locals to leave the very remote islands and then not let them return. It made sure they didn’t know they were actually British citizens with rights. The US was also nice enough to exterminate all of the islands pets in a very cruel manner.
Behind the Bastards has a GREAT podcast on the whole situation. Highly recommend a listen
I agree. Decorum has gone out the door. I don’t give a fuck what color, or sex you are, just do the job. I agree most people didn’t care she was black or a woman, it was her terrible platform and the people behind her pushing for her instead of some kind of abbreviated primary for the Democrats to pick a better candidate.
I am just waiting for an American party. One that is literally for the people, by the people. I think some major union rep could make a good candidate. The UAW boss for example.
Seeing as trump got about the same amount of votes as the last election, the deciding factor was the amount of “Democrats” that stayed home. I doubt there is much overlap between those who voted for Obama and then saw what trump did the first go around and said yeah, they want some more of that.
I’m taking biden’s voting record as proof he was a centerist. The media plays whatever makes them the most money. 24hr news networks need to die off. It’s painfully obvious when articles like this.
I agree being a centerist is suicide. The left needs to pull the right back to the middle a lot more than the other way around.
I appreciates many things about Ms. Katie
Nowhere in this article does it state what questions were asked or how many people were surveyed. I’m sure you could look it up, but I think it’s almost irrelevant.
FTA:
This just days after Gallup released another survey showing of the five living American presidents, former President Barack Obama is the most liked, and former President Joe Biden is the least. Forty-eight percent of Americans surveyed had a favorable opinion of President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton, though more people were unfavorable toward Trump (12% answered as having ‘no opinion’ on Clinton).
Now how is it that Joe Biden, who was a very centerist candidate/president one of the least popular presidents? I suspect that Harris’ biggest problem is that she was a no change from the Biden administration and just not trump. It’s funny, I totally agree she should have never been anywhere near the Cheney’s. Walz was a great choice for VP, and I think the only smart decision of her “campaign”. Maybe if she had courted the same people that supporter Bernie or even AOC she would have had much better results.
4 is what got me into the series! I agree it fit most with the previous titles. Good on you for finishing the game. I played a couple hours and never opened it again.
While their own political landscapes are vastly different than our own they do seem to generally agree that the American left has gone farther left than the American right has gone farther right.
So in their, and your estimation, the resurgence of Nazis in the US specifically is less of a shift to the right, but people who want equal rights and to not be targeted by police and corporations is far left? Wanting healthcare and an end to homeless, war, and to stop the persecution of LGBTQ+ for what are obviously biased religious reasons.
I agree, no one liked Harris, she was the first out in the 2020 primaries. Her politically sterile speeches, by another name would be moderate. Not pissing off either side. Do you think she lost both primaries because she was TOO left? Or more likely because she was too in the middle, like this poll is claiming people wanted from her.
Who is popular with the republican rank and file? A significant number of his own cabinet members from the first term said he shouldn’t Return.
You’re moving the goal posts for this article as well. Who could Harris have cozied up to that was close to center? Who in the republican party can even be considered the moderate centrists? I imagine the reason Cheney lost her seat has much more to do with faux news dragging her through the mud because she had the audacity to investigate the obvious insurrection that happened and go against an orange turd than her not being “conservative” or popular enough to win.
Nah. I wish Felon Husk died in 2012. I still have potential, he has been a waste of star dust.
How was Kamala Harris not the perfect candidate then? Why did so many Democrats stay home, when Harris was supported by Darth Cheney’s daughter? It doesn’t get more drawn to the “middle” than that. No one I have talked to said they wish Democrats were more conservative, anecdotal at best, but seems pretty suspicious to me.
Colin Davidson has previously received funding from the NIH (USA) and the European Community for projects related to drug abuse. His PhD, on the SSRI paroxetine, was sponsored by GSK. He is currently a consultant on psychoactive substances for the UK Defence Science Technology Labs and is a member of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (UK). The views expressed here are his own.
Italics are mine. So the only reason this dude is a PhD is because a pharmaceutical company bought and paid for it. Seems less than honest to me.
FC5 was very interesting, but I definitely lost interest after that.
Nazi is as Nazi does
You made a great comment showing some easy ways to join Lemmy, and that’s what I appreciates about you!
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter…
As if the VA wasn’t already understaffed. Fuck these short sighted trump idiots.
I would hazard a guess that’s where president musk gets most of his sources from as well.
I am going to go out on a limb and say trumpzilla doesn’t know how to tell the truth.
