Not sure about how they think about universal healthcare and unionization. It’s hard to believe those are core issue for them if they’re willing to vote republican like this.
And I can add to that list not caring about immigrants or minorities more than the bare minimum. Or about helping students financially.
It’s one think to think that Sanders is correct, but to think that the American people would have voted for him in 2016 is just extremely delusional.
Yes, because Trump’s second term would now be over.
It seems to me that a lot of people are confused about what “supporting the working class” would actually mean.
It wouldn’t mean that the working class would start thinking like Democrats. It will mean that Democrats will start thinking like the working class. Think about the implications, they’re not all what you want them to be.

TikTok gathering data and selling it to whoever is a problem but it’s not the problem.
The problem of TikTok and many other social media is that it drains our energy and motivation. It’s like digital weed, creates the feeling that there’s no reason to change things. We can just consume things.
Oh, there goes that neighborhood.

… but seriously, the Internet is so different from real life that no comparisons make sense. Opinions that would have been uttered by the craziest village idiots in a local gas station 30 years ago are now distributed and magnified by the social media machine. In the past, you could see with your eyes, hear with your ears and even smell with your nose which people you really really should not listen to, but in the internet, those people look exactly like you and me.
And it’s all sapping your energy and time, the most precious resources you have.
That’s why blocking is fine, even whole instances if they are shown to be crazy enough.
Also, I would like to point out that the creators of the clients for the first community platforms (usenet) recognized early on the importance of shutting people up (killfiles).
Save your sanity and do Settings -> Blocks -> Block instance -> lemmy.ml
Also perhaps block me if you strongly disagree with the above.
Warren Buffett maybe? At least I haven’t heard him be much of an asshole.
Gabe Newell is a billionaire and as far as I know awesome.
If that’s true, it’s more than money. If you take money from the mafia and don’t deliver, it’s about your life. That could be one of the many reasons he tried to back away from the purchase. I don’t get why CIA isn’t all over this.
And it’s not just about the election. They’re trying to destabilize everything in the west.
That might’ve been the plan all along.
Funnily enough, this how he conveyed that message:
Ok, so logically GOP presidential candidate shooting are also. Thoughts & prayers & get over it and all that.
Principles you don’t like are still principles.
I’m not saying I disagree with that position. I’m saying that Democrats mostly disagree with that position.
