I said over there that Dems gotta put a mAgA hat on Jeffries and stroll on in and get it done! ::Steve Buscemi Fellow Kids meme::

What a pack of dipshits! I wish there was an alert that would activate their brains.

You got me at first!! Hovering over that down arrow hahaha

Fair points but now is our time to change that. We ain’t Reddit anymore.

I agree! What is the argument for spoiling the outcome? How does it help the community or the f1 instance?

Can’t we just throw a NSFW tag on spoilers?! I’m with you! I just fired up Lemmy + Grand Prix and now I’m bummed! ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah your are talking about giving off vibes (which apparently gives you plenty of license to “see” what you want in my reply) and we need “unity” (please layout how we can move towards this unity you speak of ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ). Those are not actionable items and it leads to nothing. I was certainly not saying consumers are not to blame but they are the ONLY ones that get the blame and that is systemic. All the abstractions are exactly what fascists want us to focus on. If we could see the forest for the trees we’d know we are the powerful lobby (the people) and we own production etc., but we are conditioned to believe this is “un-American” et al. You can cherry pick anything but when a monsters share of your response is hyperbole, it rings disingenuous and troll-y.

Additionally: the convo you and I are having is a prime example. We are arguing the culture war while losing the class war just by engaging in the ephemera and minutiae of these points. Divided. I dare say you and I wouldn’t be divided if we were engaged in actions not debating in our safe little echo chambers.

Nah. I don’t go for this. I’m not saying we force them but coddling and playing into to “poor me” bs is again, tactics, either parroted by voters or truly believed. If you can participate in a culture war, you can participate in a class war as well.

I do agree that republicans are going culture war to prevent thing like a class war but blaming the base, at this point, is like blaming a person that drives a car for climate change and not people like DuPont or Delta…

Normal and completely unsustainable. Everything, EVERYTHING changes. If you don’t change with it you are actively holding back human progress for the sake of being afraid of the new. Not to mention that that sentiment is complete fed into and amplified by the gop.

Again, I think this is looking at this election outside the context of what’s been happening in the south for decades. People voted for her. People stay with their abusers. They need help.

I don’t disagree but I think this oversimplifies the war on people in souther states through scare tactics and manipulation. These people didn’t vote in a vacuum. They have been radicalizing rural communities for decades for what seems like these very moments we are witnessing. Coal is just another smoke and mirrors tactic to grift and to continue to disenfranchise and promote anti- intellectualism in the American south. I seem to remember in right before covid that there were at least 3 major solar outlets offering free training and better wages to miners. They were ceremoniously met with zero interest cause “solar is woke” or some garbage like that. That level of delusion is the product of decades of grooming. Same with MTGs district, Bobart, etc.

I fully agree with you but look up what happened in that district when she was first elected. Her dem opponent was threatened and assaulted and literally run out of town. Stack on that GA being a VERY gerrymandered state and it’s a no lose for her. She’s not from that district and if fact started in another district before they saw how ripe Ranger and Rome GA were for fear tactics and gop shenanigans. My parents live in Ranger and I fucking HATE it there and it’s very possible that the fetal-alcohol fucks nuts that populate that place would elect her any how but don’t discount the tactics used and how unqualified she is.

Makes sense for sure but I gotta say, I do like a warning that these human diapers have offspring. Staying frosty.

🫡thanks Chuck!
