because in the long term the right will bail after Trump and leave a party so weak that it probably won’t be able to fight off the memory of Trump

Look at this optimist still assuming there's going to be another election and that a republican party actually matters. The supreme court has already ruled he can't be held liable for anything he does while president if it's an "official act" - if you think he won't try "officially" ending the public choosing the next president, you might be in for a rude awakening.

The Democrats have utterly failed to appeal to workers, and as such fail to bring out the votes. The DNC is a business that sells policy to wealthy Capitalists, it doesn’t represent the working class.

Huh? Did you actually follow the election at all. Trump's solution for the working class was "I'll get you better jobs with more pay" and when asked for specific examples, he couldn't provide anything of substance. But he was fond of talking about how he hated unions and paying overtime during his speeches and talking about killing the ACA. VERY pro worker.

On the flip side Kamala was offering up cutting taxes on the middle class, lowering food prices, expanding the ACA, assistance to first time home buyers, and more assistance around childcare.

I don't know exactly what you think "appeals to workers" but she checked literally every box beyond promising "more pay" without any semblance of a way to do so. Is your idea of "appealing to workers": you just need to lie more?

That's a great take if you completely ignore that laws are written by congress, and in the last 30 years Democrats have only had both chambers and the executive, by a slim margin for 2 years and a wide margin for 2 years. In those 2 years of a wide margin (Obama) they passed the ACA, which was watered down by republicans because it was the only way to get it to pass because they still didn't have a super majority.

Who would have thought giving trillions in Tax refunds to billionaires would result in the rest of the population being worse off?!??? And the nerve of Biden using policy to stop the runaway inflation Trump caused! Don’t worry, those people are all about to find out what real pain is when the cost of things start reflecting trumps proposed tariffs…

Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. A fool me can't get fooled again.

Shakespearean.

In their defense, he'll "handle" Gaza. It turns out his "handling" is just the annihilation of any Arab within 1,000 miles of Gaza. But at least they can rest easy knowing that they "sent a message"?

Just because you are too stupid to see other ways to handle a literal child does not make it okay to hit said child.

While I shouldn't feed the trolls, I'll respond.

I do see other ways to handle children, I literally stated that, but you skipped that part because apparently you're too lazy or too stupid to read an entire post and retain all the information contained within it. Which tracks the rest of your message. Now before you're blinded by rage: it's pretty obvious you aren't a parent. it's pretty obvious your exposure to kids is extremely limited. Your "countless studies" apparently amounted to: 0? Because you're refuting an ACTUAL study with a post on lemmy that doesn't include a SINGLE citation.

I'm not surprised you didn't read the article, because you appear to be one of those fools that has the entire world solved, if only more people would listen to you. And it's shocking they don't, you've got such a persuasive means of communication.

Some kids absolutely need to be spanked. I was one of them - timeouts did nothing. Taking things away did nothing. Getting the threat of being spanked? Definitely stopped me in my tracks. Actually getting spanked? That's the last time I was going to try whatever stunt caused it.

My kids don't need to be spanked and never have been, other methods have always worked to curb bad behavior. Anyone saying "spanking is never acceptable" has apparently never had a shithead boy who is unphased by other forms of punishment.

For adults wondering if it's OK to spank: if you're spanking your kid out of anger or it's the first thing you turn to, you're doing something very wrong. It should be the big red button of last resort.

"If I can't get universal healthcare, I'll vote for the end of all social services and democracy as we know it. That'll show em!"

That's because Facebook is selling your data and access to advertise to you. The better AI gets across the board, the more money they make. AI isn't the product, you are.

OpenAI makes money off selling AI to others. AI is the product, not you.

The fact facebook release more code, in this instance, isn't a good thing. It's a reminder how fucked we all are because they make so much off our personal data they can afford to give away literally BILLIONS of dollars in IP.
