Delta_V@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•James Carville says he might sue ‘contemptible little twerp’ David Hogg for challenging incumbent DemocratsEnglish17·2 months ago“We, as the DNC, need to be seen as a body that can be trusted, that’s not putting its thumb on the scales,” a DNC member told Politico. “We have to be so strategic and careful with our resources right now. … So why are we in this circular firing squad against Democrats?”
Which side of the debate is this person trying to support?
If the DNC wants to be seen as trustworthy and not putting its thumb on the scales against its constituents economic interests, then it makes sense to try to repair the broken parts of the party that are largely seen as untrustworthy and favoring the donor class over the people who vote for Democrats.
So why are the corporate Dems shooting their own party in the foot by resisting changes to the failed status-quo?
USA was made by oligarchs, for oligarchs. That’s the entire purpose of a Republic.

Delta_V@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Opinion | I held three town halls in GOP districts. I heard one question over and over.English10·3 months agoSupporting their constituents in the class war is presented as an afterthought, as usual from the corporate Democrats, and this congresscritters proposal is just the standard right-wing, milquetoast, failed Democratic policy that got us into this mess.
There are over 100 million people without a home in USA, and this guy thinks housing 10% of them will be sufficient. He won’t even say a number when it comes to minimum wage. Three fifths of the proposal is just masturbatory lust for power.
The short answer is “no”.
The long answer is “noooooooooooooo.”
Taxes at the Federal level don’t pay for goods or services. Creating new money is how the Feds pay for stuff.
Federal taxes just delete money from target populations.

Delta_V@lemmy.worldto Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world•ELI5: Why is there a grill in front of the front door in on this car?English3·4 months agoIts probably for brake cooling.
There’s a high pressure wave that builds up in front of the wheels that wants to be released by putting a grill in front of them so less air gets pushed under the car, because if that pressure wave were directed under the car then it would reduce the amount of downforce being generated by the Bernoulli effect.
AFAIK, grills behind the wheels will actually reduce the downforce of a vehicle by allowing more air under the vehicle, increasing the pressure, but its a trade-off that can be made to regulate brake fade when trying to slow down from very high speeds.
Did he ever have credibility to begin with? Gun control is a non-starter, and that’s his claim to fame.
