Well he's currently attempting to buy an election in Wisconsin, so you're spot on.

We need a person that can easily break down the real reasons people are suffering, that can reach the average American without coming off as belittling or consescending, and that can unite wide coalitions and instill a renewed sense of trust into disaffected voters. The left needs a populist. And in my opinion, after listening to her speaking on the Fight Oligarchy Tour, AOC fits this bill. Whether it is her or someone else, the Dems need a united front of this messaging, or they will allow us to get fucked once again. No more of the old guard, neoliberal, Chuck Schumer bullshit or we're toast.

EDIT: spelling

That would require educating yourself and questioning the entire paradigm you have lived in your entire life. And this hypothetical awakening would only happen after being faced with the consequences of falling further into poverty. Big doubt it.

Reminds me of olive oil in Europe. As long as it is processed and packaged in Italy it can be labeled Italian olive oil, regardless if the olives were grown elsewhere.

He can EO all he wants, the judges will decide if it's legal.

Republicans despise working-class Americans, it couldn't be more obvious.

Fired Fed jobs have been reinstated because of court orders, what made them follow those?

Apparently Kentucky has a history of voting blue governors and red everything else.

I think it's sub-conscious self-hatred projected onto others. They are fractured, damaged people, that, from an early age were told that their vulnerabilities were weaknesses. Their inability to accept themselves as they are causes them to wreak havoc on the world searching for enough tangible reasons (power, fame, money) so that they finally can. But it's never enough, because no amount of outer wealth will fill the void of inner poverty.

tldr: these people hate themselves

Yeah I think I just naively didn't notice until recently. I hate that the departure feels so political, because I mostly followed really chill subreddits. I don't see as much active discussion here on Lemmy yet, but I love the fediverse concept and am here for seeing this place flourish.

At ease soldier! Thanks for fighting the good fight. Are bots not so much a problem on Lemmy?

I had an 11-year old Reddit account permabanned and they didn't even give me a reason. Feels bad man
