Im sitting here in a heat dome induced 100 degree weather. The heat is killing my ferns.
Id say this slow walking of change has already killed us all.

Lets assume it is extortion.
Wouldnt it be irresponsible to not give them what the want with the stakes so high?
Now, What are we gonna do about that? Probably nothing’
I wish we tried this hard to get Trump off the ballot.
Agree to disagree. I think optimism is exactly why weve done nothing. Fear is a powerful motivator.
Optimism is the enemy of progress. It just feels like delusional thinking at some point, and breeds complacency
But we actually need a sensibly planned public transport and Zoning.
What are you talking about? Nobody’s moving away from neoliberalism. The right perhaps, but whenever the left also moves to fill in that void, it doesn’t really change much.
The post has 23 upvotes. What are you on about?
Heck, Democrats are even consistently voting more rightward, as the party tries to woo conservative moderates.
What other option do we really have? If there’s only one set of adults in the room, it’s their job to stop the children. If they just sit while the children start killing each other, then who’s responsible?
I’m not saying it’s not the Republicans fault. I am saying, though, that Democrats really need to up their game if they want to save the country.
This is a two-way street though. You’d think the democratic establishment would also want to increase their electoral odds in order to reduce harm.
Like, the stakes are so high, and it’s so weird to see them betting the horse on Israel. It’s frankly irresponsible for Democrats to be playing politics like that at a time like this.
Classic Lemmy. They’re quicker to blame you than they are Biden for bad policy.
A true optimist would suggest that Joe Biden could absolutely reverse course. It’s like they’ve all given up on that possibility.
The problem is that we clearly like it enough to not do something about it. Until the right wing crazies become more than a slight inconvenience for the moderates, then nothing is going to change.
To be clear, you and I are both sitting by letting this happen.
If nobody is going to do anything about it, then there is no point is us (rightfully) getting riled up.
It seems a lot of media anger is righteous but performative while we let right wing crazies have their way.
Why did they not have 2 doctors? Its a big ship. There was room for both.
I dont see why not. Especially with the switch 2 coming out eventually, I think the value proposition of the deck goes up for consumers who might want to make a choice
No, campaign on court reform you useless losers.
We need some God damn snake wranglers to deal with these snakes.
The way polls are going, Biden probably doesn’t stand a chance. So this point is moot.
The real answer to your question in all of the polling is “generic Democrat.”
