    Look man, my NAS is acting up, my kid is acting up, my work… is acting up, if I gotta take a break and leave a cozy little dumb comment on a Lemmy post to feel something non-negative for a fraction of a second I feel I should have that right.
    And besides, Lemmy needs engagement, right? Look at us, we’re doing it!







  • That’s not what I’m saying at all. Or course the party that encompasses every person that’s not a racist sociopath isn’t perfect. Of course ‘vote blue no matter who’ won’t save us in itself. Rather than tear the whole party down with misrepresentations of how ineffective they are, let’s show our support for progressive candidates. Instead of holding Dems to impossible standards then letting them be replaced with Republican dipshits when they fail to meet those standards we need to be pragmatic about putting people on the ladder who can actually accomplish things, and instead of just complaining about the party as a whole we need to actually participate in the process. This leftist apathy towards the Dems only pushes both the party and the country further right. That’s why spreading the kind of propaganda like OPs comment is so highly valued in Putin’s playbook The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia. Just like w/ Project 2025 it is all written out for us and yet we still walk right into the trap of petty squabbling while these evil bastards take ever more from us.




  • In 72 days they passed an insane amount of progressive legislation, and you minimize these accomplishments down to a single bill that you then completely dismiss because it’s less than perfect. Fact is the ACA made healthcare more affordable for American citizens and improved our every day life. It’s a shame they weren’t able to pass a public option due to holdouts like Leiberman, but this attitude of letting perfect be the enemy of even the slightest improvement is exactly why we keep sliding backwards.

    The rest of your comment is completely unrelated. I hate Tipper, too. What’s your point? What position of power has she ever held? How is she or anything you’ve mentioned at all related to Obama’s short-lived democratic supermajority?

    For me personally, atheism is saying ‘there is nothing more to the universe or reality, what you see is what you get’ which is extremely pretentious. Agnosticism is admitting to the possibility that there’s something going on here, but we don’t know and would likely be incapable of understanding what it is.
