The democratic party is a coalition. It has wings that range from progressive to conservative. The reason they play it safe is because candidates need to be palatable to enough of the constituents to pass their primaries. This is also why local democratic parties are much more likely to have more cohesion.

You’re cute. May I have your number?

What the fuck? How does this happen?

What’s Pomodoro?

This is the saddest, most insular cope I’ve read all day.

A little, yeah, oddly enough.

Things I’ve learned: the people in this community hate bluesky on principle, their principles are insular and toxic, and they can’t read.

This is why people aren’t going to mastadon more than Bluesky; because y’all’re insufferable. I made the comment in context of the post, so why would you ignore it?

The fact that you or anyone thinks that matters is part of the problem. Not every federated site needs to be federated with every other federated site. That’s half the point of federation.

Snubbing bluesky is a great way to get people to not take you seriously. When you’re making a recruitment thing like this you need to remember you’re trying to draw in people who don’t fully agree with you.

No.

I’m sure all we need is enough class consciousness and gumption so our direct action can stop the fascist regime from implementing imperialism.

No, I care about meaning. The problem is there’s lots of people who argue about words and ignore the meaning.

Like calling me a “liberal” wtf does that mean? You don’t know a damn thing about me. But I’m a “liberal”.

The thing you said doesn’t mean anything. They’re empty words. “social democracy is a liberal doctrine” is an utterance empty of content.

Did you forget how all the MLs were rooting for Putin and performing apologetics about how Russia had “national trauma from its interactions with the west”? (actual quote, btw.) They pointed out how there were some factions in the military that were antisemitic and ignored the openly fascist policies of the Kremlin.

Arguing about words is stupid.

If anyone disagrees:

Kronstadt

Spanish Civil War

Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact

The War in Ukraine

Etc.

Why would opioid manufacturers need cocaine? I thought cocaine wasn’t an opiate, so wouldn’t they just be drug manufacturers?

I mean I doubt it. After all, the next-best thing is Lemmy.

To be fair, given the model he was working with, this was actually a descent experiment so long as you ignore the ethical implications.
