I’m hardly breaking new ground in my assertion here, even if you personally don’t agree.

If you somehow don’t realize how progressive and working class interests were kicked to the curb in favor of courting those (still) elusive republican votes there are many, many opinion pieces out that that can detail it more eloquently than I.

Here’s but one paragraph from but one such article:

The Democrats’ sharp turn to the right can be mapped through their party platforms and political programs. In 2020, they offered a “new social and economic contract” of “shared prosperity” and racial justice. By 2024, Harris and running mate Tim Walz failed to directly or meaningfully mention the impacts of racism, police brutality, inequality or diversity in their 82-page policy platform.

And look at all the good it did them:

The old guard (both literal and figurative) need to get the fuck out of the way for the AOC’s and Crockett’s who will actually speak to power instead of cowering in the corners.

They sure as eff do!

What they did was court Republican voters instead of Democrat voters, and neither Republicans nor Democrats were amused.

I think we can do without this sort of reddit-like passive aggressive backbiting here.

Updated! :)

Thought police here we come…

There are going to be so many verses of the updated “First they came for…” poem when this is all done.

This was a much more enjoyable article to read than many these days. They even managed to skewer Adams.

I did grit my teeth at the absolutely sitcom-level evil authoritarian language from Nancy Mace though. Get better writers you fucking clown! This is the kind of line people write into obvious satire. Did you ask them next whether he was “a great president or the greatest president?”

The hearing took a turn when Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina demanded mayors answer inflammatory yes-or-no questions, including whether they “hated President Trump more than they loved their country”.

I only learned what that meant from Mike Myers on SNL last week lol!

Thanks, I’ll check it out, though it’s going to take more than motivational books to pull the US out of the current nosedive…

I did not know that either thank you!

Excellent point!

That’s a pretty good analogy IMO.

Does EVERY axis in life have to be fucked up at the same time?

Can we have one thing that is just doing ok?

Government - fucked.

Education - fucked.

Healthcare - fucked.

Environment - fucked.

Housing - fucked.

Societal and Social Cohesion - fucked.

Wealth Inequality - fucked.

Personal Technological Autonomy - fucked, and under continuous attack.

Technological Enshittification - Running like gangbusters. So really - fucked.

Damn, someone give me some kind of ladder to climb out of this pit of despair.

Trump: My hand- uh, manager will be back soon. He’s the one in the black ballcap.

Thanks buddy. 🙂
