  • This one will anger both tankies and liberals. Alas, I'm unburdened by such concerns.

  • Yeah it's a Sociology 101 take. By today's standards, at least.

  • What, no apologies? Yeah, figured so

  • And here you have it: the serf mentality of the median American. Speaking out against your in-group, lest things could ever become better? Madness, better tell everyone to shut up about the fact that the ship is sinking, at least we're not directly ingesting arsenic. If things ever become better, thank the heavens that they happened to fall down that way, because that behavior leaves you at the behest of whoever is leading the chorus, even if that person had been clearly screwing up for months, with no hope of ever influencing it yourself.

  • My more liberal friends haven’t liked Biden basically since the start. He was just the only option against Trump, whom they hate (a wonderful position our duopoly has put us all into). I will never be a fan of anyone that cheerleads for politicians though. It’s cringe to me. They work for us, not the other way around.

    By "hardline dems" I don't mean "more liberal" or "more leftist", I mean the "You criticized the official party line? Behold, I will immediately misrepresent what you said and paint you as an enemy". They're actually preventing their own party from becoming more effective.

  • Plenty of people on Lemmy immediately attacked you if you mentioned that Biden was going to tank the election or that he had mental health issues, and even though they became a little bit less aggressive after the debate, they still insisted and would call you a Trump supporter if you even suggested that the Democrats should have someone else run. Now that Biden is out of the race and Kamala is projected to have a much better chance than him, they've been proven wrong, but none of them will apologize for having denied reality.

  • I can forgive someone for being disconnected from reality, but when that someone goes and berates others for stating that a person obviously suffering from age-related issues does, in fact, does suffer from age-related issues, insists that it's impossible for anyone else to compete against Trump, and has the knife ready at their hand ready to jump at you with accussations of being a Republican for raising very reasonable concerns, that's a pretty heavy issue, and plenty of Lemmy users have done one or several of those things to the point that, frankly, discussing politics on this site has been just almost as unbearable as doing so in Reddit.

    I'm not going to receive apologies and I'm not expecting them, but I'm at least going to ask you to take a long time (weeks, months) wondering from time to time if you're suffering from cognitive biases in your opinions. This is not an insult, everyone suffers from cognitive biases, I did suffer from pretty heavy ones a long time ago, but if they're provoking harm (and most specially, doing political damage), you should at the very least take a look at them.

    On a side note, I have to say that I didn't expect much from Kamala other than having a reasonably better chance than Biden of preventing the US from further falling into fascism, but she has surprised me positively by confronting with Netanyahu as soon as she got a bit of spotlight.

  • Sanders Pushes Harris to Pursue Agenda That 'Speaks to the Needs of the Working Class'.

    Jump

  • Biden managed to get a bunch of unions to endorse him for the elections, both due to negotiations and his policy. Given that Kamala was in his team, the only thing she needs is the will to declare that she will continue along Biden's lines.

  • Call me naive but I don't trust AI to currently have the smarts to draw those clavicles under the clothes.

  • Far-right trolls have launched a racist crusade against Kamala Harris

    Jump

  • This is unironically good for Kamala's chances. The average person in the US is racist, but not racist enough to not to feel second hand embarrassment from such overt comments, which may, ironically, make them a little bit less racist and make them think twice before voting Republican in 2024.

  • There are too many of these people on lemmy

  • I'd upvote the meme if it wasn't also controversial to criticize all war criminals, including both those at the top and the bottom.

    Edit: For a source, see people in this thread rushing to argue and feel called out when someone criticizes "all forms of imperialism", including the Western ones.

  • Note that both of these behaviors may be valid strategies, rather than ideological fervor. As members of the Democratic Party, Harris and Warren are somewhat expected to participate in team efforts; while Sanders, by virtue of being independent, should avoid being taken from granted, as forcing other representatives to negotiate with him gives him a bit of leverage to introduce changes to bills. There's a reason why he's been capable of influencing so much policy despite being an outsider.

  • So in Europe, it is standard govermental procedere to transfer 20% ownership of big corporations to employees? It is standard govermental procedere to have 45% of BoD elected by workers?

    It is absolutely not standard in Europe, so have my upvote. Although there are exceptional cases such as Germany's, where large enough companies must assign a percentage of the BoD positions to worker-elected union members.

    I'd probably put Sanders left of plenty of European social-democratic parties, roughly landing around the positions of contemporary left populist parties (Podemos, France Insoumise, old Syriza), perhaps somewhat distanced from Eurocommunist parties.

    This is true in the vast majority of European countries too. If anything, you usually find an exception in a public broadcasting channel, which may or may not be influenced by political officials.
