  • Why Lemmy is so superior to Reddit: No Karma, Just Value Content

    Jump

  • when is the last time you came across a post on Lemmy that is specifically for/about women or women’s issues

    The same amount of time I came across a post that is about men's issues. A really long time. The vast majority of comments should not be about identity politics, unless it is a feature of the specific community.

  • Does that feel good?

    I just want the absolute value of my comment's karma to be high. That means it has been read at least that many times.

  • "bad actors" simply means "unpopular or politically incorrect opinions". Fuck that.

  • You mean the exact same stuff that’s on Reddit, often copied directly from Reddit?

    No. We mean all the stuff that Lemmy gets that Reddit either doesn't get at all or gets a day later than Lemmy.

    “Trump bad! Look at this latest bad thing Elong did!” posts a day is not quality content

    This bad thing that Trump did looks like very worthwhile content.

  • Give it another year or two and we’ll have some website that tallies the karma of lemmy users. Clout is an insidious disease that grows like a social cancer.

    It has already happened with this piece of cancer.

  • Tim Walz says he and Harris were too ‘safe’ during 2024 presidential campaign

    Jump

  • He promised a move left, while Harris promised a move right. They were not running the same campaign.

    Nope. The Harris platform was more to the left than Biden. She was going to impose additional taxes on corporations and billionaires that went beyond Biden.

  • She played the same plays as Hilary: I’m not Trump. I’ll save democracy. Israel is cool.

    Even though Hilary always had a bunch of Muslim women in the background of all her crowds and identity politics helped sink her campaign.

  • Trump and the GOP raised taxes on most middle class income groups in 2017, according to the official congressional JCT analysis.

  • Let it burn and be replaced by a workers party that represents us.

    That went horribly wrong in Russia. It turned out Lenin and Stalin didn't represent anybody besides themselves. And their main targets weren't people on the right, it was the other 2 socialist parties, the Socialist Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks.

  • Yep. Every time I hear Jeffries talk I am thinking "shut the fuck up and go fetch AOC".

  • Every time the Democrats lose, since Reagan won, they move right because they think they lost because they weren’t conservative enough.

    That was true thru Obama but it stopped with Biden. Biden was the most progressive president since LBJ, even though Dem voters could have chosen even more progressive candidates.

  • Gee, it’s almost as if all that bribe money ehhem I mean campaign finance donations have corrupted and shackled the Dems into consistently losing strategies.

    They would be getting 3x more money if they had consistently winning strategies.

  • Unloading garbage nonsense that has the occasional inflammatory rhetoric is exciting.

    Oh I agree that the #1 problem is that Harris needed to use way more aggressive rhetoric against Traitorapist Trump.

  • Tim Walz says he and Harris were too ‘safe’ during 2024 presidential campaign

    Jump

  • Harris initially said she was going to "prosecute" the case against Traitorapist Trump but then never did anything like that. All she had to do to win was use way more aggressive rhetoric. She never used the phrase "Convicted Criminal Trump" or "Treason Trump" She never used the phrase "legally certified rapist Trump". She never pointed out that Trump hates the Free World and freedom and democracy. She never reminded voters that Trump had a 29% approval rating at the end of his term. She never pointed out that Trump is very disloyal to our longstanding core values. She never reminded people that Ted Cruz said that Trump "lies practically ever word that comes out of his mouth".

    Dems NEED much more aggressive candidates. No more of that business as usual shit.

  • The DNC needs a socially conservative but economically progressive candidate

    Well they are 100% dependent on the voters for that.

    I disagree a lot that Dems need a "socially conservative" candidate. What they do need is a candidate who does NOT focus on identity politics and does focus on wealth inequality and all directly and indirectly related issues.

  • If they were concerned with improving people’s lives they’d have implemented progressive economic policy

    The DNC has no power to implement any policies. The House Democratic Caucus (HDC) and Senate Democratic Caucus (SDC) are the organizations with that power. The HDC/SDC are way more powerful than the DNC.

  • It’s the leftist-progressive economic policy exemplified by FDR’s New Deal.

    Exactly. It's not like we don't already have a road map and historical examples of how to get it right.

  • One of the characteristics of populism is being anti-establishment, even against the established academic and technocratic paradigm.

    Hell no. FDR was a populist. You do NOT need to be against expertise and intelligence to oppose the billionaire elites. Rather the opposite. We need smart and competent people to beat the billionaires.
