Don’t do it. I’m convinced in what I think.

Bernie and AOC seem to be organizing.

This is not what’s happening here. This isn’t about rendering the libs ineffective. This is real people (this one’s from Canada) trying to send the message that the standard American lib approach is ineffective. That the approach desperately needs to change for resistance to really work. And by libs, I and whoever made the meme mean most mainstream Democrat politicians and to a lesser extent voters who believe those politicians are doing everything in their power to resist fascism, despite the evidence to the contrary. There are a few good discussions in this thread on what’s going on and what could and should be happening instead.

These are the words I’ve heard from anyone paying attention.

Also thank you for your work from this canuck.

It’s a bit more than performative. It’s pacifying. It manages to convince a lot of people that it does everything in its power so said people shouldn’t feel like there’s anything else to be done but vote again next time.

Nailed it. That’s the scheme. Provides plausible deniability, while keeping half of the electorate from seeking options that would hurt the corporate bottom line.

No they literally didn’t do most of those things. We’ve been paying attention.

Yes, all of these.

But I don’t think they are unaware of these methods or unwilling to play dirty. I think that’s just a cover. I’m convinced they simply don’t want to do any of that because on the whole, their donors are either okay with the fascist agenda and/or believe they can get back in power by default because of Trump’s fuckups. Thereby going back to business as usual without promising any significant concessions to their voters. E.g. none of that Medicare for all shit. After two years of the fascists people would be happy to lap up anything that looks even remotely better. See how happy Booker’s performance made people. It’s something and people will take it over nothing.

The party that’s mostly against fascism still is a party that’s is not against fascism. It’s against it in optics only, when at critical juncture after juncture it makes the decisions that enable or even help the fascists. There were so many things these dumb fucks could have done. Some people even from the party itself were screaming the solutions. At this point the only hope I see is the Bernie/AOC program. The Democratic party, as currently formulated, governed and funded has demonstrated that it can’t resist fascism. You have to do anything in your power to elect enough socialist independent reps that vote with Bernie/AOC’s agenda and hold the balance of power. And organize unions. Otherwise the Democrats will win again by default, do nothing material of substance and pave the way for the next wave of fascism to sweep power.

Us seniors are gonna have so much work a few years down the road. ☺️

I’m dying 🤣

Big Social is unsurprisingly winning the competition for individuals’ attention.

Probably prison staff.

I’ve always felt he’s one of us deep inside.

True but Big Social would have many orders of magnitude more lawsuits to deal with. I guess it might still not matter.

Well, luckily many large Lemmy instances are outside the US. 😂

Isn’t this a death knell for Big Social Media?

I meant that they no longer need Google’s funding, however if Chrome becomes Mozilla, Google would have a real need to pay Mozilla to stay the default engine in Chrome.

They could sell it for $1 if they wanted to.

Also I think Mozilla is self sustainable from investment income from its endowment. Could be wrong.
