Fair enough. Establishment democrats are America’s left, but in any other country they would be center right.

Establishment democrats would definitely fit.

Well that’s good news, but he’s still immorally rich and in need of taxation.

Remember though his ego is made of glass and taking responsibility for anything ever would shatter the whole thing. He’s literally psychologically incapable of doing so.

Absolute con.

One thing that makes this all difficult is the size and fragmentation of America. American states are the size of European countries and separated by subculture and geography. Organizing a state to hold its state government accountable might be doable in some states, but holding the federal government accountable is fifty times harder at least. Then there’s coordinating messaging and organizing across states. I’m not saying it can’t be done, but it’s no small feat. The will of the American people moves in slower, more inexorable tides.

Remind people that every time you go on Instagram it’s like having Zuck in your living room peering over your shoulder writing down every tiny thing you do. His motive is to profit off all that and he may or may not keep that notebook safe. It may not be criminal, but would you really want it to get out that you watched that video again?

Big thing for me is the fediverse part. More privacy, no tracking or ads. People are people, but less corporate power tripping is a win.

I think that’s a big reason many Americans don’t vote. It’s not really a choice, just the perception of a choice and the spectacle of a contest.

No, I’ll agree with you in general, but I would also say that both sides are generally working for billionaires and operate generally as neoliberal parties. Biden even proudly confessed his capitalist convictions.

I don’t disagree that if this last election had gone differently we’d be in a different probably better position, but I also don’t think we have universal healthcare. Plenty more nuance to that than will fit in a comments section, but yes I agree but there’s a lot more to it and people hear democratic promises but don’t often see democratic action.

But also at this point it’s becoming less two neoliberal parties and more the neoliberal party and the fascist party, so yes I’ll 100% take the neoliberal over the fascist.

Ah yes, let’s more time entertaining the mad kings senile delusions while he remains incapable of taking responsibility.

Why would he need to be given anything? Charge him a million for a happy meal. He’s a trillionaire, surely he can afford a measly island or two.

Good thing we have a Congress full of people eager to pass laws protecting the children…oh wait…

Just need to add in oracle, Palantir, and flock.

Why would he need to be given anything? Charge him a million for a happy meal. He’s a trillionaire, surely he can afford a measly island or two.

The “Christian” right should try reading the Bible more than listening to Fox News.

If you can’t afford to pay your employees a living wage, do better.

Tell me your country is falling into private sector authoritarianism without telling me your country is falling into private sector authoritarianism.

No, that would make a few people incomprehensible wealthy while everyone else starved.

Oh wow, some awareness! It just doesn’t matter till it hits the bottom line of course. Don’t confuse it with compassion.
