  • Ok, I'm sorry, you're right, literally every bad thing that Republicans do is actually Democrats fault.

    Try harder, comrade.

  • Correct. And even then, there's vanishingly little CP on lemmy.

  • This ain't the early 2000s. The unwashed masses have found the internet, and it has been cleaned for them. 97% of the internet has no idea what Matrix channels even are.

  • They had the presidency and both halves of Congress for the first two years under Obama

    They had a majority that could override Republicans for all of like 2 months

    And again during the first half of Biden’s term.

    Never had a supermajority, even though they did get a few epic bills in through some brilliant legislative maneuvering.

    and all they gave us was Mitt Romney’s health care plan

    Obamacare has saved literally thousands of lives and saved countless more from poverty inducing medical costs and you act like that's nothing. It's the single best piece of legislation in the last 50 years at least. And we did that with just a few months of power.

    Anyway. For your actual specifics

    The Democratic leadership keeps actively stopping attempts to corral the ability of congressmen to get rich off inside trading

    Biden calls for ban on congressional stock trading - never taken up by Repub led Congress

    Democrats make last-ditch effort to ban stock trading by lawmakers

    • Opposed/blocked by Republicans in Congress

    Trustbusting has basically been forgotten

    FTC Sues Amazon for Illegally Maintaining Monopoly Power

    United Health Lawsuit Named Among FTC's Biggest Wins

    Big Pharma Braces for More FTC Suits Over M&A Bound for Approval

    Gaza I'll give you. That's really the only hugely popular (among non-republicans) issue they refused to support.

  • Fair enough. I think a lot of Liberals view socialism (like no shit real "own the means of production" socialism, rather than European capitalist-lite socialism of today) the same way as me: it sounds nice, it just doesn't seem to work very well in practice. But hey if we can get it to work, neat. In the mean time, let's get capitalism under control.

  • Sure!

    • All people are equal before the law. Discrimination is abhorrent, and people's personal freedoms should be respected until they harm others. Liberals and Leftists pretty much agree 100% on this so I won't spend more time on it.
    • Capitalism is the most powerful social engine for beneficial progress that the world has ever seen, but we need to keep it under control. It's like an engine - harnessed, throttled, and controlled explosive power to drive us forward at a manageable pace. Strong regulations, strong unions, progressive taxes, and heavy government incentives are the ways we keep capitalism under control. Currently, it is OUT of control and is doing far more harm than good.
    • Taxes on the rich should be higher, loopholes should be closed, and enforcement should be stepped up. There's no consensus on exactly how much higher, but they all agree they should be higher.
    • At the same time, we recognize the potential economic effects of taxing the rich. If we're not careful, they'll just move their money elsewhere. So we want to raise taxes to the extent possible without triggering flight of the wealthy.
    • Everyone deserves a minimum standard of living. Food, shelter, and healthcare are human rights and should be free for those who can't afford it.
    • Immigrants are good for the economy. Even the illegal ones. We should be making immigration easier.
    • Climate change is real, is man-made, and it is our duty as humans to do our best to fix it. However, we can do so to a large extent without causing hardship among everyday people, by making intelligent changes upstream from consumers. We can have economic growth AND tackle climate change, if we're smart about it.

    Obviously, left-leaning liberalism is a wide-ranging ideology but these are the main ones that came to mind immediately. The biggest difference between liberalism and Leftism is that Leftists want to tear down capitalism and Liberals want to control it.

  • Search “AI woman porn miniskirt,”

    Did it with safesearch off and got a bunch of women clearly in their late teens or 20s. Plus, I don't want to derail my main point but I think we should acknowledge the difference between a picture of a real child actively being harmed vs a 100% fake image. I didn't find any AI CP, but even if I did, it's in an entire different universe of morally bad.

    That was, what, fifteen years ago? It's why I said "in the last decade".

  • typical file-sharing networks

    Tox messaging network

    Matrix channels

    I would consider all of these to be trawling dark waters.

  • Leftists in America are a tiny minority that happens to be in a kingmaker role because the Dems and Repubs are nearly evenly matched. There is no vast silent majority of Leftists. You're in an internet bubble.

    YOU need to get onboard with OUR ideas.
