What did you learn today? Share it with us!

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**

Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

They are already trying to setup Kamala for 2028. I have zero faith that the Democrats are going to learn anything from their failure

They don't want to win. At least not with someone who would bring change. Why would they, they are all multimillionaires.

This is what I've been saying too. They made over a billion dollars and they happily lost taking that money to the DNC bank.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. So I'm sure they will do it.

Who is "they"?

We have a DNC chair that at worst will be impartial.

And Harris has zero chance of winning a fair primary.

The only way a neoliberal can win a primary is if the party hands it to them.

The only way a Republican becomes president, is if the only other choice is a neoliberals.

The only reason the Republicans have the house, is because of "victory fund" bankrupting stat parties.

We really didn't need much, and we got it. Which is why we desperately need to capitalize and move the Overton window as far left as possible while we can

"Impartial" like when Bernie Sanders was winning, and every Democrat decided to fold for Biden.

And the "Liberal MSM" started running "Bernie loves Castro" stories left and right. Hell one of the chucklefucks at "far left MSNBC" said that if Bernie won he'd put people like himself "against the wall" invoking an image of firing squad executions...
