Yeah. I get it. As a progressive, I don’t go to any business that proudly flies a Trump flag. I don’t trust that they will rationally think a problem through and I would have deep concerns about their decision making skills. Plus, the fact that it’s inappropriate to discuss politics at work, yet they feel it’s acceptable to back a political candidate? It’s repulsive.
…yes…like very normal people…
Go S.Korea!! This is the kind of shit we need in the US too! The amount of inspirational stuff coming of of Korea right now is amazing.
He gave them table scraps while feasting with his cronies (remember those COVID checks?).
Just look at what happened the farms after Brexit. Lol. That will tell you all you need to know.
What’s is a “liberal hegemonic order”? Because what we already had was a democracy, and we were making grassroots efforts to make it better. Was it perfect? Fuck no, but at least we had a chance to make things better. States were brining in Ranked Choice Voting, other states were enshrining human rights where it wasn’t always guaranteed. Smashing it all down and starting over with a Christo-fascist authoritarian government is about the dumbest way to “collaborate, cooperate, and strive for peaceful coexistence.” We’re about to get the Christian Taliban with the most powerful military in the world backing it. Trump is about to give our government officials purity tests and will throw out anyone that doesn’t swear to him (literally per P2025), and he’s going to be stacking the government with lackeys. We’re on track for Nazism 2.0.
I don’t believe that it is. I believe that the problem lies in the fact that we’re not communicating effectively with the voting base. Her policies we’re not bad and effectively DID target the working class, for example child care and expanding taxes on the upper class. Her economic policies were strong and we would have seen benefits. However, none of this matters if this information isn’t getting to the voter base.
Conservatives are actively targeting Gen Z and nonpoliticals with absolutely bullshit lies - for example, staying that liberals are actually racist, that DEI is making things worse for people, and that our whole policy is based on insults and hatred. Of course, to anyone paying any attention, this is blatantly false…but to an outside viewer, whose struggling to make ends meet, who’s single and insular, whose constantly told that women have it rough (and nothing about how to deal with men’s problems) they find the conservative arguments start to gain roots.
We want to win next time? We need to talk to people. Tell them what being a man really means. That empathy, not control, is what a society like the US should be based on.
Hey, so the 15 million thing isn’t true. That was the number before all of the votes came in. She actually gained votes in battleground states, but lost them in non-battleground states (states that didn’t really matter). Just a heads up. We need to be using facts here (not trying to attack, just trying to get that information out).
I can’t believe there’s even a risk of people voting in someone as morally repugnant as Trump.

I find it fascinating that the one of the most consistent groups that I hear about playing hardball with Trump is a conservative group - The Lincoln Project. Like, do we not have any sort of “we play dirty” liberal groups that dig up shit like this to show Trump’s hypocrisy? The Lincoln Project is buying billboards, they are all over the news week after week? We need a liberal party with that same sort of girthy, 12" dick swinging energy.
Yeah, but at the end of the day we either want Lemmy to grow, or we don’t. And if we make it difficult or awkward for people to use Lemmy, then we’re shooting ourselves in the foot if our goal is to grow Lemmy’s user base.
Yeah. It’s photoshopped. Good catch mate.
It most certainly should not.

Actively? No. But the war has never technically ended. It was sort of put on pause. With both sides on either side of a line drawn at the 38th parallel with 1.2 metric fuckloads of troops on either side.
Start the community that you want to see! Let me know if you do, I would contribute every now and again.
Old boy needs a monocle and a top hat. Pip pip! Cheerio!
Then why does anyone donate shit to Goodwill. I thought they purposely sold things cheap so that people that needed it could afford it.
People on your side are literally advocating hatred of minorities, the reduction of rights for women, and the overthrow of our Democracy. Our two sides are not the same. If your party platform has a different take on education, border security, or the economy…then that’s one thing, but when they are literally trying to removed Public Education to dumb down the average worker, dismantle our social security, and strip the rights of our people how is that “the same”? Why should anyone on the left be “tolerant” to that hatred?
I’m not trying to attack you, I’m down for a legitimate discussion here, because I’m sure you have passionate reasons for voting the way you did, and I’d like to understand where the disconnect is here…
