I agree with you. and power to the people we should be able to express our will over that of some rich guy.
I also agree that Democrats are eccentric party and we do not treat the far left very well. I just consider you to weigh the impact of your vote in the future.
I really don’t want to have to go defend Canada for my own country next time if I could. I’m sure you have other wants to.
Anyone doing leftist purity tests is usually where I start with far left. I can fully agree that America does not represent many real leftist views because there are not many real leftist in America. They are not a majority.
They do wonderful things in smaller towns where they are the majority. But yes, I agree with you. There are no real leftist in the US government and that’s pretty much by design because they’re not well represented in the general public.
Well that’s what I was trying to discuss with you, I do think I can rate them accurately. We may not agree on how I rate people because I am writing them in context of the voters around me.
The leftist in my local city are much different than the leftist in our national government. So yes the based local leftist who run food drives and do social workers are ‘real leftists’( leftist purity test or a leftist thing) the guys that talk Marx theory and run for local office. I know all types.
But in the American national government, there are few of those types. Because they do not represent a majority of Americans. They are the far left in this country. Nothing wrong with that. It’s just where the median is today in my interpretation.
I think its okay to own your place on the political compass. Some reason the far left and far right always imagine they are the center and thats how we get extremism and unpopular policies! Look around you, 330M americans. Lots of opinions. Where do your opinions land if we lined them all up between left and right. Nothing wrong with being a lefty. All opinions matter, not all should be forced on people.
June 2018 was a long time ago now. She came across pretty far to the left. When considering the sliding American center going right, she remains far to the left of the American political spectrum.
Can you identify 5-10 congresspeople futher to the left of AOC?
Both sides the same!!! Except no one changes my voting district, because one to many black people moved in!
Imagine living in a balanced voting district that hasn’t changed in years. Where ideas change the outcome, not a congress and a judge distorting public power.
Anyway both sides bad and nothing weird about southern states and their voting districts.
Yeah you’re just missing on the part where nothing is ever fucking good enough for anyone. And we don’t believe in incremental change. Everything should’ve been perfect when we were born and it’s really upsetting that it’s not perfect yet.
Part of the messaging problem is our lefties who complain that nothing is lefty enough
Ewan has been on television crying about Tesla stock every six hours for the past two weeks.
They are using the full force of the United States government to protect Tesla dealerships.
is obviously not doing OK with this. His creditors on Twitter just made him combine it with his AI company so he’s basically losing that to the bank too.
we’re off to a great start. And it’s just getting started.
My Tesla shorts are making my portfolio great again, I need more of Elons money.
Don’t forget Molly cokeketamolly. It’s a Bay Area classic
Yes it’s against Reddit ToS to confront MAGA with logic, or criticize the great works of Emperor Monsk
Fren that is nature of humanity
Ah sorry I only saw the 6 Billion dollar increase in spending on the defense side.
But ya saving 13 billion by what slashing IRS, and critical enforcement that would have also been shut down? Like thats the point. They’re cutting critical services and allowing more executive overreach. We’re just gonna stand by all year and watch them strip us of all our resources and leave us with crippling debt. This is foreshadowing for the next round of cuts and taxbreaks.
It didn’t cut funding. It expanding funding leading up to next years funding bill. It also expanded executive powers needlessly. Vaguely worded clauses that will be used for more executive overreach. So ya. Shutting down the government for a week or two to force a bipartisan CR, and showing the american people what it looks like when they cut half the government for tax cuts this summer.
You always gotta think about use lazy users too. Settings are great but you actually need to draw people into a level they want to customize. I’m almost there thanks for the heads up! I’m coming from the lemmy.world url. It’s not bad it’s just not good. It’s great for us older folks but I can see where it would create an age gap. The trend of people who enjoy windows 97 UI is declining.
You are right, but as I sit here and use Lemmy, I can’t help but think while being a perfectly functional forum, it lacks aesthetics. What I’m looking at is Windows 1997 High contrast text editor. It tickles my nostalgia, but I can see why Reddit has a broader appeal. People like gimmicks, as much as they like aesthetics and simplicity.
I’m talking about the Continuing resolution. Here have a read and let me know if you want to discuss it. I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but I am certain you have not read the CR, and I’m suspicious you do not understand how government opperates.

I mean guy like its the money trump is using to fund all the executive orders, wtf are you going on about?
Ah yes so just let them shut down the government for the most vunerable americans, and let the part that throws people in jail run free. This is good because instead of everyone hurting, only the people republicans want to hurt are hurting. The rest of the population is free to ignore fascism and go about their normal day.
This brilliant strategy brought to you by people who need to color code morality!
Well usually when we’re talking about ‘democrats’ we’re talking about an American political party. And if we’re talking about American politics, i assume we are talking aout American politics, and assume their values. Not the French, or the Japanese. I like to learn about other peoples politics too, but thats not what we are discussing here.
