Going back to the EU with our tail between our legs isn’t going to go down well with anyone so won’t be happening anytime soon.
“we would rather the people of the UK continue to suffer economically than be embarrassed on the international stage for a few years.”
That’s is strong leadership /s
I’m wondering where are the big names in the Democratic party and the left?
There is a palpable atmosphere of fear coming from a large population in America and there is silence from the “opposition” party. Why isn’t Obama and Michelle organizing and speaking at rallies? Why aren’t other prominent Democratic leaders not trying to rally support for a genuine resistance. Not the resistance of 2016, which I feel failed due to no true national leadership from the Democratic party.
Maybe this is happening and I just don’t see it, but it sure feels like the national Democratic leaders and influencers just threw up their hands and said “well, we’ve tried nothing and we are all out of ideas. You’re on your own to figure it out. But remember, if your leaderless pent up fear and anger turns to violence we won’t support you.”
It’s good to reach out to WDJT-TV (DJT huh?) and tell them they are cowards. It’s also good to reach out via her public social media and let Sam Kuffel know that what she did has support.
but the reality is that the vast majority of people don’t agree with many of the views that are overrepresented on left-wing social media platforms like Lemmy
Is this true? Or is this just “people you know” and what the media you consume tells you?
If it is true then adding in the sources of where you got this information would really help your argument. Hell you may actually get more people to agree with you if you have solid evidence of what you said.
If this is just what “feels” right to you or if this is just something that other people told you is right then maybe look into that and see if reality lines up with what you are feeling and hearing.
Right they are effective in becoming more of a leader and I’ll admit I went off on a bit of a tangent with my previous comment. What I was getting at was there is a system that can at least fence in the C suite sociopath from getting out of control, but we don’t have that system any more due in part to the sociopaths in power. So well maybe I’m just wrong.
so far I haven’t seen any credible systemic solutions
There are many credible systemic solutions to this problem but over the past 40+ years those solutions have been watered down and killed off.
Things like:
I’m sure there are others
Didn’t some European country about 80 years ago decide to use their military to secure sovereign territories that they thought vital to their country?
Honestly this report could have rock solid evidence of treason, pedophilia, murder, drug usage/dealing and election tampering. It could have eye witness reports, links to video testimony, shit it could have trump himself admitting to doing all of these things and it would have 0 effect on the support he has.
Weirdly trump and his lawyers don’t even seem to understand this.
Post polio syndrome hits people that contracted polio in the first place just 30+ years later. So you not hearing about it has more to do with you not knowing people that contracted polio than it’s eradication.
I’m still pissed we as citizenry didn’t stand up and demand what we deserve
This will only happen if there is someone that the progressive democrats can get behind. Someone like Bernie but younger and more angry. Someone that will call out the bullshit and do it in a way that will get the attention of the big media corporations. I hate to say it but a progressive trump, but smarter (which shouldn’t be difficult) and genuinely out to better the lives of the American citizens. And I genuinely hope that this unicorn exists.
trump meets with CEO of TickTok
I’m sure the conversation was legit and above board and this filing had nothing to do with the visit.
Yet if there is any discussion on increasing taxes on these fucks all of a sudden it’s government overreach on the “job creators”
Digital license plates are a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist -
But it is a money maker for the manufacturer at a subscription price of $29.99 / month
It was said below but I really think that there needs to be more people that are willing to run for office with a more progressive message.
I know it’s not as sexy as revolution or CEO-cide but it really is a better way to make changes without fucking the country up completely.
So how the fuck do you run for office ? I don’t know but there are resources that can help. If you don’t want to run that’s fair but as you mentioned the time to just sit around and bitch online in an echo chamber is done. Progressives are going to have to find a way to make their voices heard and in a way that isn’t talking down to people.
Note: I get the anger and the desire to want to scare the fuck out of the ruling class. But murder isn’t the only thing that the ruling class is scared of, they also don’t want people to vote for their own self-interest. They don’t want the people to demand billionaires pay more in taxes. And a significant group of progressive politicians would scare the shit out of the established ruling class.
Well the good news (/s) is that they won’t be sitting in a warehouse - they will instead be sold to one of many conflicts around the world to “test” their product.
“never let a disagreement go unarmed”
The Secret IRS Files from ProPublica does an amazing job at outlining why this is
so we learned
It sounds like you were like most people in the western world - uneducated on nutrition, cooking and basic life skills. This isn’t a jab at you this is just the world that we live in. Most people don’t have a good understanding of these things so the go with what is easy, fast and feels inexpensive. This drives obesity.
It’s great that you took the initiative to learn home economics and it sounds like it has helped you and your family. Many others have not gotten to the “so we learned” stage yet for whatever reason.
I’m hoping for a removal of putin from power and the Russian people get a chance to create a more democratic system where they actually have people in power that are genuinely want to help the population.
This would be an interesting behind the scenes fight because I can’t see other billionaires just letting musk dictate to them what they will and won’t do.
Not true. The Democrats will form a committee to discuss language to be placed in a letter to the administration, they may even call a news conference to state that they are disappointed in what is happening and if it continues they may have to do more drastic measures like actually sending the letter that the committee put together.
