I think thats an over simplification.

Disinformation is part of it. Also leftist voters feel disempowered (they shouldn’t, but they are). And voters often don’t understand the politics behind good policy.

Its been shown that if dem policy were presented, then voters would overwhelmingly support it.

Maybe voters are more left than dems, but don’t like dems fundamentally, because they have no backbone.

I was excited qbout Kamala back when she grilled Biden, but then she got tame, and was tampered down by the Biden admin.

Its Biden’s fault.

Post civil war, the USA should have imposed rules that enforced integration.

They didn’t have the will, and now we reap the consequences as a nation, to have the south still stuck in the moral degradation that comes with dehumanizing a portion of our population to the point of enslavement.

It’s especially silly when you’re like 3-10 comments deep and you know it’s just the 2 of you arguing about some tone or something else stupid…

I try to only post when it’s helpful. Like for others that got there, or to show another perspective if I disagreed with them.

But I’m starting to write and then cancel my post. Its kinda unlikely that this one was posted at the rate I’ve been canceling them these days.

He could have ran on it more. Trump understands the art of putting his name on the checks.

Call Americans stupid, and we are, but I wish the party that was helping people was a bit more grandious and better about messaging then they are.

Because dems are smart, and care about things, so their party has to give qt least half a chance actual policy.

And this time around, Harris ran on republican lite. Courting Liz Cheny, anti-immigration, those that cared about those things were demotivated.

No, trust but verify.

Idk why that makes me foolish.

I still think it was policy and not gender :/

But I understand that the evidence isn’t exactly clear on this.

Maybe, I think people still “know” its going on, but they forget by the allure of our smart phones, so this is a good reminder.

Ok. Touché

Also having lots of children is probably the single biggest carbon impact, since youre multiplying your own consuption.

I wont say “dont have any children and let society collapse” but Im also feeling pretty negative about all this tbh.

Wow. Im sorry that happened to you.

I had a rough middle years in public school, but the teachers were always supportive, and I cant imagine not having that while students were bullying.

Even more so encouraging it…

I’ve reached the bottom of these comments (for now)

Well, if cars dont cause climate change, AI will.

I think the media doesn’t help, and people don’t talk about how bad climate change is. Everyone buries their head in the sand

Personally, money first. Term limits are fine, but not the biggest problem.

Why is your username blue?

Edit: sorry. You’re OP

Sam Seder has been saying rhis for a decade at this point.

Its how you build a political movement.

In the past i switched to Firefox for a few days, and the memory usage of google (gmail, calendar) was enough to make me switch back.

This time i did thunderbird too. The memory usage is still bad, but i was able to stay… for now.

This is what Im doing for now, also trying to subscribe to a bunch of stuff.

But Im newbhear and still browse reddit some as I figure all this out.

Now if only my favorite twitter followers would switch to mastadon…
