  • Still remember the decoder podcast where the CEO was asked, would you remove an article that says "we should deport all brown people", and he danced around how he wouldn't get into specifics of moderation.

    Just your standard 'Free speech absoluteism'

  • Democrats keep helping Trump confirm his abysmal nominees.

  • My good comrade, this is what literally every "both sides are the same" person I know believes. Are you sure that they ended up being right in a way they didn't think, or could it be that you weren't really listening and are just starting to realized what they realized years ago?

  • Really it's restraint to only offer it as a solution to tech problems, because install more linux is my solution to all problems.

  • It's also only preventative, seems like this is more reversal.

  • It sucks because dating apps are a pretty trash experience all around, and definitely have some fundamental demographic issues, but god damn do the incels go wild whenever the conversation comes up.

  • 'Stop Playing Nice,' Says AOC as Senate Dems Help Approve Yet Another Trump Nominee

  • I think there is an honest way to try to get Kamala elected that doesn't involve going to the DNC and lying about her tireless work towards a cease fire.

  • There are things that break through, but it's naive to ignore the difference funding from billionaires and the media apparatus has on 'grass roots' movements.

  • We need to stop pretending their failures began in the campaign. It's not just that they failed in a monumental election, it's that they've failed to secure courts, failed to build a counter part to the heritage foundation, failed to jail the politicians that attempted a coup when they had power. They are simply not equip to fight the rise of fascism, the same as the liberals of Germany.

  • Okay but she endorsed Kamala, and we are still in the current situation?

    I disagree with dx1, and think they are worth keeping around, but the criticism that they fell right in line with a genocidal regime, and refused to stand for their principles is fully true.

  • She was a failed candidate in 2020, picked based largely on identity for VP by a presidential nominee that was really only liked as a remnant from a administration for which he was also picked largely based on identity. Towed the party line during increasing displeasure with the party heads, then failed spectacularly in an election.

    Even if I believed she truly had dreams of creating a better USA, it's best for her to not be prominent member.

  • Yeah, this has pretty quickly devolved, and advice on depression is hard to take from the closest of connections, so I doubt as an internet stranger I will have good luck.

  • everything I say is either stupid, wrong or both anyway

    you’ll eventually end up realizing I’m not worth your or anyone else’s time eventually.

    I’m completely fucking up

    like everything else, I am failing spectacularly at it.

    when I inevitably fail

    This is not the language of a healthy mind, and the fact that it is showing up in an internet conversation political action, suggests to me this is just the surface of it. If you feel this way, look for mutual aid groups in your area, find community and seek people to connect with that might help. Your daughter deserves to have someone in good mental health fighting for her.

  • This a very self deprecating response, I think you should seek help from a therapist because I don't think a sober read of this conversation would draw these conclusions. Good luck in your struggles and I hope you find what you need.

  • I can see you're upset, but genuinely, I think it leads to a better community on lemmy in general to approach with good faith. The point overall being, if you are asking in earnest, and are hoping for answers about what possible way forward we have, I would hope that you recognize that there are better ways to communicate that. I'm sorry it's upsetting that certain langue is interpreted differently, even if the core is the same, but it's the reality.

    Given that reality, being upfront about your worries and feelings of helplessness is valid and helps to connect rather than dismiss. With that, expressing the lack of knowledge as a personal aspect, rather than framing the exhausting of options you're aware of as the end of all options, would help show that you are looking for whatever is next.

    As for 'an answer', it's not something I can easily give because these are complex issues. The reality is it can't be distilled down to "Get out and vote" because the problems extend beyond that, and any real answer that match that simplicity would along the lines of "organize" but I assume like me, you'd find that sort of broad advice hollow.

    I can't say what you should do because it depends on your local politics, what you're able to commit, where your politics sit, and ultimately what you think your place would be in whatever is done. With that I recommend black radical thought because I find it best encompasses the tools needed to learn for the reasons I mentioned. Along side learning, I think reaching out to local political groups for work that can be done would be a great way to see what options and opportunists marginalized folks are making for themselves.

    In short, if you fear for the well-being of, black/brown, indigenous, immigrant, queer, or everyone else that will suffer under the coming wave of fascism, do as Mr Rogers says and look for the helpers, and if you can, help them.
