  • They’re already helping to abet a genocide. Why not mass murder?

  • DNC chair candidates say the party needs to do a postmortem of the 2024 election

  • I remember they said the same thing about Clinton and how she burned through a billion dollars in her attempt to buy a nomination. In the end, Harris brought in a bunch of Clinton leeches to destroy her own campaign. The consultant class ate well this election cycle and they didn’t even have to run a campaign nearly as long.

  • I meant funding them but I guess that's also a possibility.

  • Musk goes all in on 2026 mid terms and the 2028 presidential elections for the libertarian party.

  • Democrats are trying to work out what went wrong. On the left a consensus is forming

    Jump

  • There's a cognitive dissonance on Lemmy. I keep seeing people post the electorate is stupid for electing trump or staying home while also seeing posts like this acknowledging that the democratic party isn't listening to the constituency. I realize it's likely very different audiences but this is very much a bubble among liberals which unfortunately make up a large part of the party voting base. They were fine with everything continuing to suck a tiny bit more because the alternative was Trump. I think people are just squeezed and exhausted. They're tired of being given the narrative that this is the election that will end all elections while things continue to get worse around the margins. And I think the people that would vote for systemic change don't see Democrats capable of delivering on anything substantive.

    Note: This is not an endorsement of Trump or not voting at all as a result. But people really need to reckon with how broken shit is before blaming voters. Democrats have no incentives to fix anything.

  • JD Vance (and Peter Thiel, David Sacks, Elon Musk) is not a replacement I would welcome in the event of Trump no longer being able to be president.

  • JD Vance says US could veto NATO if Europe tries to regulate Elon Musk’s platforms

  • This is how you get new alliances around the world against the US. This could spiral very quickly.

  • People about to be surprised that the leopards are eating their faces.

  • Trump wins a second term as Democrats search for answers

    Jump

  • Exactly this. Meanwhile food prices are high, homes and rents are unaffordable, and healthcare sucks, and tuition is through the roof. Biden sending billions to fund a genocide while all of this shit was happening at home was the demotivation people needed to stay home.

  • Kroger's Plan to Use Facial Recognition Raises Concerns About Surge Pricing

    Jump

  • I hear you. I agree that union busting is bad. I support trader joes employees unionizing. I don't want their stores to close and those employees to be out of a job.

  • Trader Joe’s, aldi, and small private stores from now on. Go fuck yourselves Kroeger.

  • No. In the non sales world, I've built some really cool solutions for clients.

  • I work for a consulting company and they're truly going off the deep end pushing consultants to sell this miracle solution. They are now doing weekly product demos and all of them are absolutely useless hype grifts. It's maddening.

  • Top Muslim-voter organization endorses Harris as Middle East conflict escalates

    Jump

  • But it doesn't change the fact that I am voting for the outcome I want that is reasonably available to me based on the options.

    I think it's disingenuous for the green party to say that a vote for them is a vote to stop the genocide. There is literally no scenario where the genocide stops if Jill Stein gets 4% of the vote. All it does is increase the chances of another trump presidency. And while I would rather have green party politics, I am under no illusion that they have the faintest chance of actually getting them in place.

    I also understand some Palestinians voting down-ballot and ignoring the Presidential race after having lost friends and family to the foreign policy of both candidates. I couldn't imagine the pain of voting for your (or your family's) oppressors or their enablers.

  • I want to minimize Palestinian suffering as much as possible. There is clearly a worse option and no alternative to Trump and Harris. There's only one way to reduce harm. I hate that I have to keep doing this lesser of all evil shit but that's what we're living with right now.

  • You gotta make up for a lack of innovation but just price gouging customers on absolutely everything. I only have Spotify because of the radio function but otherwise all of these services are absolute dog shit. They don’t offer anything new. They’ve just created a new set of moats for features, songs, videos, television and games. Eventually this system has to collapse because treating customers like employees that have no choice but to stay will lead people to innovate on piracy.

  • Jill Stein schooled on House of Representatives in brutal "Breakfast Club" interview

  • If they were serious, they would be building Party infrastructure down ballot. Taking over state houses and local government positions. Doing an every four Year presidential run doesn’t help in the slightest. The most progressive messaging that has actually made some semblance of an impact is Bernie.
