When you find out how much of the education budget goes to the sportsball team instead of the educating it’s not such a radical take.

Bibi received warnings from multiple sources that an attack was planned and yet weren’t troops moved away from the venue where it occurred in days before?

After new Congress dems will have more say in his replacement.

They called the vote after all the dems left on break, because they called a break to get the dems to leave. It’s just republican fuckery. It’s always republican fuckery. Yet here we are blaming the wrong people again.

They opened voting without warning shortly after a break was called and only for 15 minutes. This is republican fuckery, full stop. Dems deserve no blame here yet all over the tv reddit and lemmy everyone blaming the democratics. The fediverse is as bad as fox news whenever it comes to anything regarding democratics.

Just be sure to check the rules for the instances and communities you’re commenting in, and report every violation you see. Some community mods take the responsibility much more seriously but you’ll notice plenty that push their agenda. It’s a very small place though and if you get into an argument with a mod’s friend you’ll find yourself banned from communities for nothing.

inexplicable moderation and power tripping self indulgence,

This cannot be overstated. The moderation across lemmy especially in popular communities is wildly inconsistent and usually clearly ideologically biased. Very selective enforcement of rules and ToS. Lemmy community mods regularly make the average reddit mod seem professional by comparison.

They also run up- and down-vote brigades. And use sock-puppets and alts from unblocked instances to spread their nonsense around. They remind me so much of how r/thedonald used to behave before it was banned.

Do we have enough of a lead to overcome republican obstruction?

See everyone? Voting works.

What else is he supposed to do with a house spider?

You do that by running progressives and voting in the fuckin primaries but goddamn progressives don’t fucking vote and then fucking wonder why the democratic party doesn’t cater to non-fucking-voters.

I’m not strawmanning anything, you’ve literally just said let the republicans win.

If it was too late for voting to make a difference the republicans wouldn’t be trying to take it from you. You shouldn’t need any more motivation to keep them from power at all costs.

There are less socialists than there are MAGAts. This country will kill every last trans person with a smile on its face before it ever has a socialist revolution. It’s not in the realm of reality, whatsoever. Your best option here is total fascism leading to social collapse and hoping magically something socialist comes through the other side. If you’re aware of literally any human history whatsoever you know that’s not what’s going to happen. I appreciate your philosophical position, but it’s not realistically tenable. We all die and the country burns down first. So please, I would love nothing more than for one of you to explain how letting the republicans take total power is better. Like how does that play out in reality? What evidence is there to suggest that whatever you hope happens even could happen? Every republican needs to lose every election at any cost from here on out or we’re all gonna die.

So we’re back to your solution being letting the republicans win. That is fundamentally unacceptable to me.
