People in California are losing everything and half the left is posting about Gaza being the reason California is on fire and lying about Karen Bass and half the right is posting about DEI firewomen and racist bullshit and also lying about Karen Bass. You all know you both look like fucking assholes, right?
Also, there’s no water department prepared for the whole area burning at one time.

@TonyStark It saddens me so much to see so many people not showing any empathy or compassion, instead they spew hateful rhetoric. The lack of soul in so many people is heartbreaking. There is no way to ever fully predict or prepare for disasters like these.

@TonyStark oh yes. I can't think of a single democratic party presidential candidate in my lifetime that had alt-left support. That just pushes the dems to the center, just to get votes. I'll die angry about that.

@timo21 @TonyStark One can say the same thing about Pelosi, working at keeping AOC from becoming notable.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Leefellerguy@mastodon.social
@Leefellerguy @timo21 AOC does a good enough job of that by herself. And she’s hardly not “notable.” LOL.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from TonyStark@progressivecafe.social
@Leefellerguy Shes really not. She’s expecting the same from her as anyone else. AOC doesn’t write bills that can pass, doesn’t work well with most Dems, instead she attacks them in the media. Those two things alone are enough to keep her from being a viable candidate. She’s quite notable because she does non productive provocative even destructive things like continuing to dampen Dem support in Fla by using the Defund the Police slogan even after Obama asked Progs to stop. @timo21 @TonyStark

@Pineywoozle @Leefellerguy @timo21 @TonyStark there are politicians that do well within their own party and don’t resonate with the electorate.
And there are politicians that resonate with the electorate that get less support from their own party.
Democrats would do well to look at how AOC is seen by the electorate and consider how they can best work with her to win the next election.
Better to get behind a convincing leader and win than to elect another yes-man like Biden and lose. (Again)

My view, is because AOC does not take money or bribes from special interests, they do not want to support her?

@Leefellerguy But in essence she does. Cenk took big $ from Rs & was one of the founders of the JDs. They tried to scrub him from their history when people pointed out what a bad actor he is. Not to mention that BS admitted twice on vid, that Ru was (& is) spending $ to propagandize the #farL to divide Dems. A huge Bernie 2020 group was exposed as a bot farm in Macedonia, still, No Prog warned a single supporter, she's parroted (then erased) Ru talking points & she tried to oust Pelosi on day 1

@Leefellerguy Bernie getting “big” crowds doesn’t change that there is & was major support for the far far farL coming from Russia as well as propaganda to divide Dems. Those Ru bot boosts that AOC knows she’s getting? Those are bribes. Bernie admitted it was happening (x2) but instead of warning supporters, did almost nothing. Many progressive supporters deny it, till I show them his clips. The Muller Report detailed it, Clint Watts testified to Congress. Crickets from the #farL pols #USPol

@Pineywoozle What clips? "Russian intelligence agencies when they hacked the DNC’s servers, revealed that the Democratic Party was trying to thwart Sanders’s ascent in the 2016 primaries. " This was obvious to me without Russian hacking?
Bernie Said this about Russians interfering with the election: "Sanders issued a strongly-worded statement, telling Vladimir Putin to “stay out of American elections, and as president I will make sure that you do.”

@Pineywoozle Appreciate your comments. Must say Tulsi Gabbard had me fooled, when she was running as a Democrat. Deception is so annoying. The fact I appreciated what Bernie was offering. As for the Russians dividing the DNC. they do need a high colonic without the rose water. You do not need to send me any more information on the Russians, I know they are working with the GOP, Tulsi, and Musk, plus who else?
Neither party has offered an to end Citizens United and more things.

Absolutely. He’s made a few mistakes during his career, but for the most part, he’s done well and supports good causes. He has more charisma in his little finger than VD Vance has in his whole body. And not to belabor the obvious, he’s a white man.

Newsom will lose a presidential run. He's proven himself spineless and unprincipaled. Even if that's what you like in a president, it's critical that you understand corporate right-wingers like him are unelectable in a general.
Him being a corporate lick spittle is why he is, broadly speaking, part of the climate problem. Capitalism is killing our planet and he is part of the machine that reinforces corporate money in our politics, keeping the status quo in effect.

To those who are trying to unload blame on everyone else:
You're right! It should be simple to whup vast conflagrations. We just need enormous desalination plants to provide water; maybe a plant the size of LAX, every 50 miles or so along the coast? And pumps -- giant ones, and electricity, maybe 10 times the current electric grid? Water mains 3 feet in diameter on every street...
So the question you should ask is, "Am I willing to pay $6,000 a month for my household water?"

Fire protection water. If you are buying a house where it is dry and you see the hydrant, that's not the whole story. Fire protection water can supply water for one or two housefires at once, maybe three. After that, there is no fire protection. It's for a fire where the kitchen catches fire in a house, not for a fire coming over the ridge for all of the neighborhood.
So scale your expectations and plan accordingly.

I don't think Gaza is the reason California is burning. I think it's probably because millions of idiots built houses where there is no water and wild fires are common.
I do think the USA could afford to take better care of its natural disasters and build better infrastructure if they weren't funding a genocide with billions of dollars of their tax payers' money.

I never mentioned god. If you drive fast on icy roads you have a good chance of being in a wreck. if you build your house someplace with no water and frequent forest fires, there is a good chance your house burns. No god, no karma, just common sense.

@The_Caretaker @Sable_Shade I’m telling you what’s being said in regard to a Gaza connection in some places.
Climate change does have a lot to do with this, but where people live isn’t at fault. And you definitely don’t know anything about water management.

@TonyStark @Sable_Shade
I know Southern California gets shit for yearly rainfall and it pipes most of its water in from Northern California. I also know that trees in a place with a lot of rain don't burn as fast or as hot as dry trees. It isn't rocket surgery.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from The_Caretaker@cr8r.gg
@The_Caretaker @Sable_Shade Rocket surgery isn’t a thing.
Anyway, there’s no water management available that will combat an entire city on fire. As far as the rest, two very wet winters led to lots of vegetation growth followed by a warm summer. Very little rain in January created lots of fuel plus the incredibly strong Santa Ana winds are the main reasons for these fires being able to grow so quickly and hot. Blame climate change but nobody is immune from that. A wet area has its own issues.
