Technically, legally, it is that simple.
All it takes is some courage.

That’s not how that works.

The average mainstream American likes Christmas.
The average mainstream American doesn’t own 90 ugly Christmas Sweaters so they can wear a different one every day for 2 months.

You are the latter.

I’d get back to the judge today, saying we’re ready to procede as planned. His employment status is unrelated to the case.

It’s weird when you agree with some of a persons conclusions, but not the way they reached them.

I’m very conflicted. The 230 stuff really needs to be revisited. But net neutrality should be left alone.

Ruud is Dutch. FediDB says the server is in the US. So maybe we’re talking about two different things.

FediDB says it’s located in US.

Husba works for me

I think you mean progressives.

The issue there, is not having a progressive party to vote for.

The Democrats have been nearly as as tied to Neoliberal Capitalism as the Republicans. They only done the bare minimum to court progressives, so as to not upset the big donating ownership class.

But perhapse if they loose enough, they might catch on and start to embrace economic-populism.

I voted for them. But I can’t blame people who don’t. We’ve been ignored for decades now.

I think you’re missing Lemmy.world.
Easily the biggest, and US based.

All the Christians would hate him.

There’s no one con that’ll get everyone.
But everyone can be gotten by at least one con.

If they’re an idiot who doesn’t know, they aren’t a monster, but a victim of a con.
It’s the people who DO know because they aren’t idiot’s, that are the monsters.

It might seem pedantic. But it really is an important distinction.

It took me a long time to figure this out.
Trump lies with every breath. Even his supporters don’t believe the literal truth of his words. They instead replace the literal meaning of his words, with the more broad idea that he’s talking about the thing they like, in a way other politicians don’t. That nebulous ephemeral feeling is what they are voting for.

Of course they can’t understand that, let alone express it coherently. Which is why all their reasons are such incoherent straw-grasping.

I could probably count the things that weren’t mistakes on one hand.

She doesn’t have to politely stick to a meaningless tradition, giving him a call to fucking congratulate him!

He certainly did. Won the popular vote for the first time. But why CALL HIM to admit defeat!?
Instead go to the public and congratulate them on not having to vote ever again, like Trump promised we wouldn’t!

Why? I genuinely don’t understand Democrats.

You spend an entire campaign calling him a threat to democracy in any way you can. Then you cordially call him to concede he won?
This is the implicit lie hidden in Democrat politics. Trump exposed it to a lot of the electorate. It’s part of what cost them millions of votes.

Forward doesn’t even need to exist after achieving open primaries, ranked choice voting, and multi-member districts. Until that happens UBI won’t be possible with the corpo duopoly we have.

Parties don’t have to be perminant. Even less perminant should be our support. Other parties will be possible when our process is fixed. Which ever ones support any form of UBI will get my support. But that may be a decade away or more.

Not a dictate. Just a suggestion if you’re interested in being constructive. Maybe I’m wrong about that.

Then engage in the discussion at hand, rather than trying to derail it.
