They don’t care if fascists are in office. Maybe they will be bummed that their queer assistant gets gulaged, but at the end of the day all the donor class cares about are quarterly income reports.

Harris’s issue was she kept telling people who can’t afford their rent and groceries that the economy is better than ever. She ran a dog shit centrist campaign that did nothing to motivate voters. Harris represented the status quo, same with Newsom. Both will get absolutely shredded in 2028 if they run.

This is the incident from earlier in the week, not a third F-18 falling overboard. Although another F-18 was shot down during a friendly fire incident back in December. So 3 F-18’s have been lost in the past 6 months.

The Democrats tried to implement universal healthcare in 93 but the Gingrich controlled House shut it down. If Obama and said he wanted to offer a tax break to first time gun owners, the Republicans and Fox News would have called it a communist plot to create a Democrat controlled militia. The Republicans are only ever interested in obstruction

Unless you think the guy that ran on the Republican ticket AGAINST Obama wasn’t a Republican.
BakerBagel@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•"This is a mistake": House Democrats fume at David Hogg's plan to oust lawmakers21·1 month agoSo the best thing the Democrats could do when they had a super majority was pass the Republican healthcare plan? And you don’t see why that’s a problem?

I’m all for forcing minimum wage to be enough to support a family of 4 in your area, but that’s a much mor fundamental change than the things i listed.
Dissect him how I may, then, I but go skin deep; I know him not, and never will. But if I know not even the tail of this whale, how understand his head? much more, how comprehend his face, when face he has none? Thou shalt see my back parts, my tail, he seems to say, but my face shall not be seen. But I cannot completely make out his back parts; and hint what he will about his face, I say again he has no face.

BakerBagel@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature | George Monbiot6·2 months agoWhat common sense? All i see is Democrats running alongside the Chenneys. Right now in my homestate (Ohio) the Republican controlled government is trying to get rid of the cannabis policy that voters overwhelminly supported 2 years ago. Democrats can openly run on a platform of ensuring that Issue 2 is fully supported and make huge gains across the state. Instead they all ran ads about how they are going to help Donald Trump with the border and make sure your kids never have to see a trans person and wonder why they keep losing ground to the Republicans.
BakerBagel@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature | George Monbiot6·2 months agoOffer them universal healthcare, make daycare actually affordable so that peole can afford to uave a family and work. Go after slumlords who are buying uo property to rent out. Breakup monopolies that are price gouging at every step of the supply chain. Require that any factory/firm that is outsourcing give the employees the right to first refusal so that they can keep important businesses in their community.
The problem is that all of this is anti-market, so liberal parties will nevwr accept them. But those are the sort of policies that immediately benefit people. It becomes a lot harder to say minorities are ruining your life if your life has become noticablly better

BakerBagel@midwest.socialto politics @lemmy.world•'Catastrophic for American families’: Business leaders react as Trump imposes ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs on world2·2 months agoHave you ever actually worked in a factory? Things are way less automated than you would believe. I worked at a plastic injection molding company 5 years ago and we had exactly one press that would automatically apply stickers to the product once it came out, and it would break down constantly. Another factory i was hand sealing fiberglass sheets together for use in washing machines. Or when i worked at a tire factory, i was weighing out curing chemicals by hand into a scale, monitoring rubber coming out, and even handcutting rubber to recycle. The inly factories that have heavy automation are brand new, because management takes one look at the eyewatering price to repair automated equipment and find that it’s cheaper to oay someone $20/ hour to do it by hand.
But what if the valve was actuated electronically with no manual access?
Would you like to have an 80 year old surgeon performing your brain surgery? These ghouls are all stuck in the 50’s and 60’s and have zero clue what actual people need. The Democrats clearly need fresh blood since they keep getting stomped in key races
