    democrats in a nutshell: get nothing done, but complain when someone suggest we get someone in the job who will get something done. of course too many of them are bought and paid for just like the entire GOP, but still hilarious that they think they’re going to push back against criticism after losing to a fucking blatant con man fascist.

    it’s not about being out with the old and in with the new. It’s about being out with the ineffective and in with the effective.”

    fuckin. a.

      Democrats have been extremely good at being ineffective, and not at all getting what’s going on.
      How the fuck did they manage to lose to Trump? TWICE!!

        Makes you wonder if it’s intentional. Older redditors might remember when Ellen Pao came in as CEO and then made a bunch of unpopular changes that everyone hated. She then fell on the sword and Huffman came back in as “the hero” to take over as she left with her golden parachute and all the unpopular changes remained. People realized this was the plan the whole time, and her role was to be the scapegoat for the garbage that the leadership wanted implemented, but they were all working together the whole time.

        We’ve been seeing the same with the DNC and RNC for nearly two decades now. Republicans get in and destroy a bunch of shit but also cut taxes for the wealthy. The Democrats then defeat them and get to act like the good guys while not fixing any of the mess but giving a lot of lip service about how unfair things are for the common person. Once things like the tax cuts are set to expire, they allow the Republicans to win again so they can extend them and the cycle repeats.

          Ellen Pao was OK, she just wanted to prevent hate speech, the campaign against her was completely uncalled for. I don’t think it was planned for her to fail.
          The result was that the reddit clone “Voat” was created as a non censored alternative, and of course that was toxic as hell.

          Essentially what Pao did was to keep reddit within the law and being responsible. And prevent moronic subs like one that was based on illegal revenge-porn!!
          By far the most Lemmy instances are run by similar standards to what Pao wanted. Pao was demonized for no reason.

          Pao was essentially the antithesis to what X is to Twitter.
