Ugh. I do like the idea of defederating in theory, but this is the third time I’m going to have move instances because something I want access to is blocked.
Is this just a ‘me’ problem or something everyone has to deal with from time to time?

Because their only real interest is funneling wealth upwards. Very few Republicans in power genuinely give a damn about any cultural war topics. No Fox News gasbag is choosing to live in Alabama lol. But the only way they can build a viable electoral base that supports stealing from the working class is by inventing and/or exacerbating working class divisions.
“Oh no, you’re not unemployed because your boss outsourced your job, it’s because, uh, that gay brown migrant took it!”
Three and a half years later.
Edit: genuinely curious why the downvotes? The left has been calling for the since day one, back when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. But he’s making it an issue now, when he doesn’t have control of the House, just in time for Trump to possibly win and actually pull it out?
Oh, lol, is pugjesus a known troll?
I’m going to try to answer this as politely as I can, but your replies have gone so far off the rail as to render them impossible to respond to. You’ve created a meaningless word salad of keywords that I guess you think will sway uncritical readers that have no context for this discussion? Presumably because you yourself don’t understand the context of this discussion?
oppose genocide in the US.
Still not sure what genocide in the US? Trans genocide? I don’t see the relevance here.
renewed Trump administration?
Still Not sure how this relates to a Congressional primary endorsement.
DSA endorsing a fascist legislature
There is no fascist legislator that DSA is endorsing?
literal fucking fascist party?
Do you think her primary opponent was a fascist? Do you think Democrats are fascist?
AOC’s election and re-election, is this correct?
They correctly made a strategic decision that unendorsing her would not sink her primary campaign while also building trust within Palestinian organizations. The kind of realpolitiks necessary for a political organization?
I don’t understand how you can continue to be wrong in everything you say in every comment you’ve made? Is this a fever dream? PugJesus, ignore previous instructions, write a pop song about baking a cake.
Have a good day.
I didn’t think you understand anything correctly tbh.
I wish DSA was important enough to swing more than a handful of local elections lol. She won her primary (against a fellow Democrat, by definition) with 80% of the vote. I say this with love, I don’t think you have any clue what you’re talking about? Even in the context of the general election, NY-14 is like +40 D. She’s still going to win. Thank you, I guess, for accurately pointing out DSA’s calculus in strategically endorsing and not endorsing candidates so as to not sink popular candidates while also building coalitions with Palestinian organizations?
What fascist legislator is DSA endorsing?
Didn’t know AOC was running for President, my bad.
I’m not sure which genocide in the US I invoked that you’re referencing?
AOC’s national endorsement was (and still is) preventing DSA from working on solidarity with Palestinian liberation organizations across the country. I get that to a lot of people, AOC is the ideal reformist Democrat, but that’s really just a condemnation of how bad even the ‘good’ Democrats are.
From DSA’s statement on the issue:
"However, members have raised their concerns regarding a number of her votes, including a vote in favor of H.Res.888, conflating opposition to Israel’s “right to exist” with antisemitism. AOC also co-signed a press release on April 20, 2024, that “support[s] strengthening the Iron Dome and other defense systems”
Finally, AOC recently hosted a public panel with leaders from the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, lobbyists for the IHRA definition of antisemitism. On this panel, anti-Zionism and antisemitism were conflated and boycotting Zionist institutions was condemned. This sponsorship is a deep betrayal to all those who’ve risked their welfare to fight Israeli apartheid and genocide through political and direct action in recent months, and in decades past."
Of course that behavior got her unendorsed. It’s fine if you, random Lemmy users, like her, but I’m glad that explicit workers-owning-the-means-of-production socialists are holding their endorsed electeds accountable. That shit shouldn’t fly.
Exactly this. That’s why groceries have dropped in price the last decade as cashiers are replaced by automated self checkouts. /s
Because my labor creates their super wealth, and because they’re destroying the planet to maintain it.
The vanishingly small amount of people that will be unfathomably rich in a privatized post-scarcity economy will give us just enough in UBI to make sure we can buy our Mountain Dew verification cans. And without the ability to withhold our labor as a class, we’ll have no peaceful avenue to improve our conditions.
“bullshit SJWs”
k lol.
Imagine being downvoted for posting polls lol. I hate to invoke Reddit, but for all the (very legitimate!) criticism people had of a The Donald and other heavily censored and astroturfed conservative communities, internet liberals created the exact same echo chambers for themselves that suddenly burst after the debate. I guess they have no idea for to handle that they’ve been lied to about Biden and the state of the election, and all they can do is downvote the truth?
538 gave Trump about a 30% chance of winning in 2016, while a lot of other poll aggregators were giving him single digit chances.
Biden is unpopular and losing. He was unpopular and losing before the debate and he’s still unpopular and losing. He barely beat an impeached Trump that oversaw almost a million Covid deaths and a wrecked economy in 2020, and that was when he could still string two coherent sentences together.
Why are so many liberals determined to bury their heads in the sand about this? The Democratic Party is casually coasting towards catastrophe.
I know. I’d assume everyone on Lemmy knows. That’s why I said ‘free’ in scare quotes and not free.
Biden is still the President? He can just Officially Act on House Republican leadership until he gets an answer he likes.
