minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoNobody is voting for another year and a half. And hardly anyone for another three and a half years. Democrats need to pick the battles that matter.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•2 months ago Democrats need to pick the battles that matter. And by an astounding coincidence, none do.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoPlenty do. There is another budget vote in less than half a year.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•2 months agoOh cool. Like the continuing resolution they caved on.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•edit-22 months agoCynicism like this is why humanity is doomed. Or am I misreading you and you actually think things can (if not will) get better?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•2 months agoEmpty optimism like yours which keeps the masses docile is why humanity is doomed.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 months agoWhat are you actually trying to say the solution is?

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoNot at all. I made a very specific critique of this moment. I probably want what you do. I mean name a few changes or events that would make your day. That you think have a chance of happening if people do the right thing.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoWhen democrats caved and voted for trump’s continuing resolution, they betrayed the left. They didn’t betray you.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoI am on the left though… 🙃 I agree that they shouldn’t have caved. That’s a different matter to OC. One appointee, and one that has a history of being less insane.
