Maybe the democrats should stop running ruling class candidates while expecting the working class to "fall in line?"
How come you never blame the people doing the same thing but expecting different results? If history is anything to go by, choosing a female to run for president guarantees a trump victory.
It's a hard truth, but a truth nonetheless. Unfortunately you people have been conditioned to cover your ears to hard truths and just pretend reality is a different way.
The fuck? I'm not fine with this outcome.
I'm also not fine with the outcome of harris.
Both suck, but what makes harris suck is that you people will think you're winning because you're losing slower. I refuse to fall in line because I will not support the idea that a slow loss is somehow a win.
If you people want different results, run different candidates! Otherwise, "you are fine with this outcome."
If you people want me to vote for your candidate, make sure they aren't just the "lesser evil."
Try doing something different next time if you want different results. Don't repeat the same mistakes.
Blame everyone who voted for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary for why we now have 2 trump presidencies. They're out of touch.
I'd say the lesser evil is the greatest ally of authoritarianism in this case.
People don't vote for democrats because democrats don't care about the working class. They just use the culture war as a distraction from the class war.
If useful idiots didn't vote for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary, we would've had 8 years of Bernie and 0 years of trump.
Instead, they just throw a woman up and say "hey guys! first BLACK woman president! Vote for us or you're a bigot fascist!"
Surprise surprise, that's not a winning strategy. Stop supporting the democrats who push it.
Fun fact: both times democrats ran a female president resulted in a trump presidency. In other words, 100% of female democratic presidential candidates lost to trump. If we follow history and want a fascist in office, let's run a female that doesn't care about the working class.
That's the point. It's important these people think that each election is between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
It's why Bernie wasn't allowed to win any primaries.
We can't move to direct voting quickly enough.
Get these "representatives" out of power and put them in regular jobs like the rest of us.
Bad people are allowed to do bad things as long as they have the money for it.
Because a lie told often enough becomes true.
Realistically, every useful idiot is afraid to say they don't know if a Chinese company is a spy network because it's sooooooooo obvious even asking for proof makes them look stupid.
Ironically, not asking for proof is what makes us stupid.
If something is "so obviously true" yet nobody can provide evidence for it when asked, it's probably the propaganda mill doing its job.
Everyone, make sure you click the 3-dot dropdown menu and click "view comment moderation history."
This is an easy way to see what content is being censored from us.
While his comment did go against lemmy.world's rules, there's nothing stopping any of us from starting or joining instances that do not have such restrictions in place.
Do not let them silence us. Do not let them control the narrative. Ideas are powerful, that's why they don't want us to have them.
All Tesla dealerships should be on fire by now.
Now now. Let's be pragmatic. Why destroy their wealth when we can just redistribute it?
Take their wealth and give it to those in need. If they resist, put them down like dogs. (sorry dogs)
it will succumb to all the same socio-economic pressures.
The fediverse's decentralized nature means that while some parts of it will succumb (maybe even most), there will inevitably be parts of it that don't (or at least to a much lesser extent.)
It's quite possible that the parts of the fediverse that avoid commercialization, though, are the ones that allow things that businesses don't want to be associated with, like saying the N word.
Could be a great resurgence of free speech, although you'll have to tolerate people saying things you don't like.
Agreed! There is no reason to congregate on lemmy.world.
They've already shown their "rules" don't really matter; they'll just ban whoever they want and keep whoever they want.
Seriously. Violence is the only way to fight back when the powers that be control every other means of resistance.
They know ideas are powerful, that's why they don't want us to have them.
All the rich people that perpetuate a power structure that kills poor people every day.
The amount of damage the disparity in wealth causes is difficult to understate.
Hopefully more people will take action, but change is slow.
People need to realize what he did was necessary and we need more work like it done. We need more discussions, more alliances, more promotion of fighting back instead of being afraid of it.
Right now, the main fear among those brave heroes plotting to overthrow our oppressors are those being paid by the oppressors to protect the current power structure.
It's a war. We've been conditioned not to see it.
Not that I’m advocating for violence
That won't be the get out of jail free card that you're used to having soon.
