Well he’s currently attempting to buy an election in Wisconsin, so you’re spot on.

We need a person that can easily break down the real reasons people are suffering, that can reach the average American without coming off as belittling or consescending, and that can unite wide coalitions and instill a renewed sense of trust into disaffected voters. The left needs a populist. And in my opinion, after listening to her speaking on the Fight Oligarchy Tour, AOC fits this bill. Whether it is her or someone else, the Dems need a united front of this messaging, or they will allow us to get fucked once again. No more of the old guard, neoliberal, Chuck Schumer bullshit or we’re toast.

Yeah I think I just naively didn’t notice until recently. I hate that the departure feels so political, because I mostly followed really chill subreddits. I don’t see as much active discussion here on Lemmy yet, but I love the fediverse concept and am here for seeing this place flourish.

It seems the point is to show just how well many aspects of our government were actually working for us before a band of malicious idiots began damaging it.

Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam. Community has been on a slow decline in America since 1965. The combination of an increasingly isolated population and a 24-hour propaganda news cycle aimed to pit you against your neighbor has been a wild success.

If I hand a child a battery with leaky acid and it burns their hands, why should I be responsible? It’s not my battery!!

Silicon Valley is just a scam. They’ve made billions off selling your data, and selling targeted ads with your own data to be shoved back into your face. Social media has ruined society. Every “innovation” has been some way of stealing from you, whether it’s your data, your attention, or now, the entirety of documented humanity.
