  • I guess we will see. Since feb I've still gotten a bunch of fundraising txts for shitty candidates that have lost repeatedly in hopeless districts from the DNC. Example: Fl-6 and Fl-1
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida%27s_6th_congressional_district
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida%27s_1st_congressional_district

    Or Texts from Corey Booker, who has been shitty since before 2016 and yet the DNC keep trying to turn him into the next Obama.

    On Mar31 I got a fundraising text from "kamala," yea, no comment needed there.

    If you want to win you need to back candidates that are more then just centrist dems who want to be bipartisan.
    If you truly believe the GoP are fascists, then you cannot work with them at all and that isn't something I see from many of the current Dems. I guess the crop of candidates for 2026 will be revealing, but looking at Fl-1, the only dem candidate is the same one that has lost the previous 5 times, often by >10% of the vote.

  • Thankfully rational people control the DNC again

    Is there a link or story or something about the DNC being changed out? Because afaik the DNC is the same as it ever was, funded by billionaires and PACs to push austerity, market economics and funding for Israel.

  • This is a useful feature. If you are in an abusive household, then yes you should have as much financial separation as possible. For those that are in a happy and functional family with kids that you want to allow freedom for, this provides a measure of safety if you need it for potential emergency's or if they aren't answering the phone or whatever.

  • Good. Food shouldn't be grown for profit at all and shouldn't be exported. Time to nationalize all the agrobusinesses who "can't survive" without paying slave wages to export millions of gallons of subsidized water to foreign countries for pennies.

  • Burial is sanitary and even a purely logical vulcan society would most likely dispose of their dead in a regionally centralized fashion to minimize the environmental effects of thousands of members of their society dying of natural causes everyday.

  • AWS is unavoidable, other clouds are barely a blip for now. But even if the other clouds surpassed AWS, it's not like that's an improvement. Google Cloud? Oracle Cloud? Microsoft Cloud? Are you really going to bat for them just because Amazon = Bezos?

  • In a better world, yes. In this world, capitalism won the fight for well-designed cities so now we are in a bind where people that shouldn't drive "have" to be able to, and a driver's license is just a suggestion. Cheap cars are abundant and easily available so unless a person is in jail, they can't practically be prevented from driving.

  • You don’t have to land on one thing and make it your personality for the rest of your life. It’s okay to grow as a person especially if you’re an adult.

    Agreed, so why are you still worrying about Harry Potter (somehow) harming people? It's time to move on from that 90's rhetoric.

  • So while that is a fun fantasy, and let's say it's even plausible. What do you do afterward? Do you execute the police officers in the street? Do you ship them to a re-education camp set up by the fifth column in the foot hills of the rockies? How long do you keep up the charade? Parallel Systems of support are needed to fight a fascist government, not just a bunch of larpers on an afternoon.

  • Thank you, Lemmy is looking like a slippery slope back into Reddit today with everyone just screaming at the headlines without knowing the full stories or context.

    Have you read the article? You should it pretty short, and the Headline absolutely gets it right.

  • What she’s saying is to use the word “kings” instead of “oligarchy”. Which I get. Sure - do that. Makes sense. Same argument, same vitriol, more punch.

    Still don't agree with that. Oligarchy is a very specific thing that we are currently living in. We don't have a king, not even by the most new-speak of definitions.

    Detailing her plan, Slotkin – a former analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)

    Also hard pass. The CIA should be shuttered they will never be able to provide solution to the problems of capitalism, because their number one goal is to secure "US Interests Abroad" meaning, prop up the oligarchy.

  • Leftism @lemmygrad.ml

    A good piece that sums up a lot of what I called corporate virtue signaling about a decade ago.

    "Wokeism is out. Bigotry is in. Meanwhile, inequality continues unabated."

    Green - An environmentalist community @lemmy.ml
    PowerCrazy @lemmy.ml

    A pretty standard pro-environmental piece, however I do appreciate how it calls out the "German Green Party," which is obviously just an astro-turfed political party funded by the coal industry.

    And of course the criticism of about the farce of Carbon Capture is spot-on.

    A growing number of Senate Democrats appear open to making it harder for migrants to seek asylum in order to secure Republican support for aiding Ukraine and Israel.

    This is what the democrats stand for. Unlimited funding for the MIC and border-control, but social issues are not a priority.

    Stop voting for the parties of Capital.
