False narrative.
We have less than a dozen morons here. They don’t represent anyone but themselves.
Meanwhile we have entire factions of the Republican party at war with themselves from the Lincoln Project to the infighting in the House just this week.
The left has always had its share of morons.
Well-meaning morons, but morons nonetheless.
The issue is that the centrist and right wing media latch on to the narrative of these fringe weirdos and pretend that they represent the entirety of the left wing, even though there are WAY MORE lefties who find them disdainful.
So is lemmy just dead?
This post is the number 1 post when sorting by hot in the category ALL. It’s been here an hour with ZERO comments?
Every other post in my feed is similar. What is happening?
You’re not missing anything. This is a politically stupid move.
I go to lemmy first, but it doesn’t have nearly enough content to replace the endless scrolling of Reddit.
Yes.
I mean, I’d be very bored with that content, so I’d see it more as getting paid 10k to stop consuming media for a year.
It would be a good excuse to do more writing, and getting out and socializing.
Like people don’t lose their saving in the market anyway? But when your 401k goes in the tank, your broker doesn’t have the legal obligation to fund your retirement.
401k plans are a scam not because of what they are, but what they replaced.
Companies used to offer pensions. These were retirement benefits that were handled by the company, and the company bore the risk of underperforming markets.
For a number of reasons, pensions were much better for workers. Now, only some unionized workers get them.
Boomers vote because they are already registered, know where to go, have transportation, have time to do it. They can go out the door on election day and just get it done.
Younger people, especially college age, aren’t registered in the states they live in, have no idea how to get registered, have to go through a much more complicated process of absentee voting, and have to do much of these things well in advance. They are less likely to have transportation, or a schedule that allows them to do it.
Oh, and most importantly, we haven’t given young people a candidate to get excited about in a general election in at least 40 years
If Democrats wanted to harness the power of young voters, they needed to give them Bernie.
Instead we got aptly-named Sleepy Joe.
Now we got what Boomers wanted: Bidenomics. Everyone claims Bidenomics is going well, but young people can’t afford their loans, healthcare, childcare, or rent. So what’s with all the cork-popping.
The fact is, were a nation in absolute crisis, and Democrat Boomers absolutely will not acknowledge it. They got their SUVs, stock portfolios, social security, houses, pensions, and medicare. So fuck everyone else.
I’m sure there were a huge swath of people who used Twitter and didn’t care at all about Musk one way or the other.
Then he rebranded and threw his ego and control in everyone’s face. And all the people who like Twitter IN SPITE of Elon were now forced to acknowledge that their Twitter is gone.
Just like over at reddit now, the latest move has alienated the people who really cared about the platform itself. If they rebranded to “Spez’s World”, though, a lot of the people who didn’t give a shit before would suddenly be ready to bail.
It’s just a lack of posts and comments. It’s not busy enough here to allow for endless scrolling.
Trump dying now would be terrible for the country. If we’re ever going to heal as a nation, the MAGA cult has to see this guy behind bars, and see the rest of the Republican leadership at long last disown him.
Remember when they owned us by refusing to vaccinate, and mask, and eventually breathe?
How about a new rule that if you vote for a war, you are automatically enlisted. And if you’re ineligible to enlist you must either abstain or vote no.
I feel really bad for the 25% of Palestinians who don’t like Hamas.
