  • Yea… This is just Jon Steward level snark that makes us chuckle and feel like we’re doing something, when in reality we’re doing jack shit.

    Democrats need to be organizing and running from the local level up and let go of these clever quips. They do nothing except placate people.

    I honestly believe Jon coming back did more harm than good. He’s giving leftist an outlet so they don’t actually do anything with their anger.

    All these comedians are just letting us vent our energy, meaning it’s not used to organise and run for something.

    You can’t tell people the country is going under, while also cracking jokes.


  • Fucking TSA, 2 decade long wars… Republicans have NEVER reduced spending or increased liberties. It’s all bullshit, but their propaganda machine is simply miles ahead because they have almost zero infighting.

    Democrats are constantly bickering, and not about just important stuff. I fully believe there are bad actors purposefully starting arguments about BS they know Democrats will latch on and distract us. And as a bonus make us look like lunatics to anyone not already fully aligned with our ideas.











  • This is 100% true and people here won’t want to hear it.

    We lost and we lost BAD. I want to be reasonable and learn WHY we lost.

    Just sitting here screaming how everyone is racists and sexist, is juvenile and will cause us to learn NOTHING.

    However fucked up a vote for Trump was, it’s more damming that people chose HIM over our candidate.

    Trump GAINED black and Hispanic voters, so just screaming racism ain’t it.

    Fairly or unfairly, the Democrats are burdened with the baggage that they care more about identity politics and policing language than actually fixing anything. That’s what I’ve learned.

    We’ve got a big echo chamber here, and most of the shit we discuss here doesn’t resonate with the majority of people.

    We’re more concerned about people saying “unhoused” than actual homelessness and how to solve it.



  • Conservative forums are talking about rounding up immigrants, letting women die in clinics and stripping people of their rights and dismantling Democracy.

    Here on the “left” lemmy, we’re arguing whether calling out hypocrites is a step too far we’ve got to be respectful after all!

    This is why the left sucks as organising and actually voting for change in unison. A simple thing as outing assholes starts a 10h discussion, meanwhile on the right they are building cages…

    Oh I’m sorry, not cages, enclosures without exists, we don’t want to offend people identifying as cages!
