You mean two essential parts of the Democratic platform for decades?

One of which Biden tried to implement by executive order, but was blocked by the Supreme Court?

What exactly should they be doing? Republicans currently have the trifecta. Democratic opposition has managed a threat of a shutdown. That’s something.

One third of Americans voted for Donald Trump. One third of Americans did not vote.

Two thirds of Americans a) think that Kamala Harris, forget Bernie Sanders, was too conservative, or b) do not give a fuck.

The idea that there is this massive left wing sentiment that will bubble to the surface if the Democrats annouce their Five Year Plan simply isn’t something born out by the numbers.

I wasn’t aware there was such a thing as a peaceful execution.

I hate Lindsey Graham. I hate him more than the idiots who just blatantly go along with anything Trump says.

He’ll push back just so and contradict Trump a little bit, just enough to make it clear that he is not completely devoid of sense or sanity, but when push comes to shove he’ll fall in line. It’s like he’s trying to make sure history books don’t lump him in with the full blown fascists. The fact that he does seem to comprehend how disastrous everything Trump does is makes the fact he eventually goes along with it more egregious than if he were just another empty suit going along with the cult.

Firefox changed terms. Proton is just run by a twat.

I’ve definitely thought about trying to get back onto Reddit once I get a computer they don’t recognize.

Between this, Proton and Firefox’s change of terms, most of the advice I’ve seen on tech that protects your privacy seems like it’s going the way of the dino.

My general dislike for modern conservatism to the side, it does reflect a wider issue with lemmy. There is no diversity of opinion on anything. There are no niche communities. Either you like the political and tech subs and the meme subs which are, at a mininum, 60% political, or there really is nothing for you here.

The manga and anime subs can be good for keeping up with new releases, but not there’s next to no actual discussion.

While I have no issue with Republicans being shunned for their unashamed fascism, it does mean threads like this are essentially pointless because almost none will actually participate and the ones who do will be downvoted into oblivion.
