Really though, beyond the Dems doing something legislatively, could you imagine if the party actually utilized it's network for direct action campaigns. Not that their donors or upper middle class members would be copacetic to any actual economic disruption. I mean christ, the Senate leader doesn't even want to let the Republicans shut down the government while they're busy dismantling it. Their current strategy is to appeal by saying they can bring back business as usual. Unfortunately they don't seem to understand that appearing ineffectual turns centrists off even more than appearing radical does.
Does it though?
Look at how much .world or reddit downvote and deride posts critical of Democrat behavior since the beginning on the election and the only takeaway you can get is that they're in onboard with it no matter how much they hate it simply because Republicans are worse.
I mean I usually post in world and not ml and I don't get generally get downvoted for these opinions by anybody but pugjesus.
Oh no.
Context?
Context to getting downvoted for demonstrating the Democrats ineffectualism to pugjesus? You'd know if you knew. He gets mad and says that everyone who didn't have solidarity for him as a disabled person wanted to kill him. While he had no solidarity for Palestinians. We came from kbin together so me, him, and the late downpunxx had fun times. Sorry if I'm not entirely coherent, I'm drunk posting for the first time in over a year.
Wait... downpunxx died?
No his bans just finally stuck.
Its all good. Just trying to figure out the lemmy "lore" as it were.
I'm under the impression that he has fans on hexbear, but I don't get hexbear over here on world.
Edit: oh I'm being cryptically sarcastic, I mean they really don't seem to like him. Overall it doesn't bother me.
.world and hexbear have never been federated, they probably don't know he exists.
