Because there is no magic sky magician letting kids die a gruesome leukemia death, while saving a specific plane because a special favorite person of his happens to be on board the aircraft. There’s just physics and mechanics and pilots and things going right and things going wrong.
Then I owe you an apology. If you’re stuck in a gerrymandered district I hope the Democrats can one day push the Redistricting Reform Act forward that they’ve been attempting since 2019.
I’m sure the Republicans NEVER contact their Democratic representatives to complain or make their voices heard, so yeah, you shouldn’t contact your Republican representatives. Never make your voice heard, what’s the point right it’s useless we are all so powerless oh god I give up you are all right downvote me we have no power THEY WIN!!
No bit junkie you are helpless! Keep sitting in your room pounding away on your keyboard how helpless you are, how there’s nothing you can doooooo!
Oh right, because you did, all the other lemmings did as well, right? Please, spare me your righteous indignation. You actually think ALL the people constantly complaining how the system is rigged there’s nothing that can be done, and all the BOTH SIDES SAME arguments seen in the majority of comments here, you think that these indicate lemmy is full of people who actively engage with their representatives? lol
See all the other replies to my comment to see examples of the thought processes i am referring to, of people who dont contact their reps.
Are you kidding? Are you telling me you had no idea they were holding votes constantly to reopen the government?? They held at least 14 votes my man. Each and every vote was the potential for “a deal”. Clearly you never reached out to your representatives at least once during those 14 votes.
Thanks for highlighting my point.
Hey, crazy question for any lemmings here whose Senator was one of the 8 who voted to end the shutdown:
Did ANY of you email your senator and tell them you fully support the shutdown and urge them to never give in until the health care provision was fixed?
Everyone in here bitching about Senators taking money, or both parties being the same, all the typical brain dead bullshit the keyboard politicos blather, did ANY of you contact your Senators and make your voice heard?
Don’t bother replying. We all know the answer.
EDIT: Keep the downvotes coming, believers of our weakness! You’ve convinced me, we are all powerless!! Let’s just complain all day in lemmy comments how the system is rigged and we have no power, downvote me if you agree! LONG LIVE APATHY! WE ARE THE WEAK AND POWERLESS!
Yeah, it’s in the basic Epstein indictment, genius, do you even bother to try and answer your own questions, or is it just about “asking questions” in an attempt to sow seeds of disinformation?

Hush, racist.
I’m sure MAGA will be happy to report you to ICE, then you can tell them how you were not a fan of Biden.
Hurray, Trump just sends all the brown-skins directly to prisons outside of the country without any due process!
Dishonest. You purposefully left out telling everyone how much you love ICE, AND how happy you are that Trump is cracking down on all the brown skinned people you hate.
I’m sure Trump will be happy to send you there, what’s your skin color?
Yup, the Republican party allowed Trump to go after the nomination, and his Republican opponents in the primaries never brought Jan 6 up for the disgusting act it was. Instead they all protected Trump by repeating the Big Lie.
Imagine Fox News right now, if Jan 6 had been Democrats and Obama. Seriously, they would be screaming for the dismantling of the Democratic party.
And that’s the difference, the Left has NOTHING like Fox News and Newsmax, MSNBC doesn’t even get CLOSE.
I think that plenty of people who voted for Trump would be fine voting for a woman president
I’m sorry, but this is based on what, exactly? I know you didn’t base it on historical data. Trump won against Hillary Clinton, a woman, lost against Joe Biden, a man, then won against Kamala Harris, a woman.
2016 turnout for Clinton/Trump: 128,837,949
2020 turnout for Biden/Trump: 155,507,476
2024 turnout for Harris/Trump: 152,319,643
3,187,833 fewer people turned out for the Harris/Trump election.
People don’t understand that you need more than hardcore Democrats, you need other groups like Christian swing voters to get elected President.
Christians do not allow woman to be elected to any leadership roles in the Church, because they blame women for the downfall of mankind in the Garden of Eden.
If they won’t let a woman lead the church, why would anyone think they would elect a woman to lead the government and country?
The problem isn’t whether YOU will vote for her. It’s whether everyone else will, including Christian swing voters. If you’re curious about those numbers, just check out the voting demographics for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.
Let me join you in the karma loss:
Hillary Clinton: Lost to Donald Trump
Joe Biden: Beat Donald Trump
Kamala Harris: Lost to Donald Trump
There are too many Christian swing voters that will NOT vote for a female President, full stop, and that is baked into the Christian psyche. Christians are taught that Woman was first deceived by the serpent and disobeyed God first, and afterwards she took on the role of the serpent and directly tempted Man. It’s why they do not elect a woman into ANY leadership roles within the church.
I don’t know how many times the Democrats need to lose to learn this lesson, but the fact that nobody recognizes any of this doesn’t bode well.
Brilliant. Hey Genius, did you know Hitler joined the German Worker’s Party in 1919? That he was appointed as Chancellor of Germany in 1933? That he invaded Poland in 1939?
Tell me, deep thinker, during those 20 years, when do YOU think it was appropriate to start calling Hitler a fascist?
How about when people do fascist shit, we call them out for fascist behavior? Oh, and FFS learn how to summarize.
Save those delicious Conservative tears, I need some exotic bitters for my nightly Old Fashioned.
