Givesomefucks, which progressive candidate would you suggest take Biden’s place?
Prices have been going down around here.
If you also do this for the container you drain old oil into, you will be able to see if your car is starting to shown signs of oil consumption issues.
E.g. if you know you fill with 3.7qt, and you drain less than 3.7qt, you know you need to start checking the oil level every few fillups.
This kind of neglect of proper maintenance is why it started burning oil at 100k.
If you want your engine to last, you change the oil every 5000 to 7500 miles.
I wonder if their goal is to undermine America as a whole, stoke apathy and distrust, and produce a certain strategic outcome.
Which candidate do you suggest, givesomefucks?
Voters choose the candidate in the primary, not “the DNC”.

What? Bernie participated in the primary and got half the number of votes that Biden did. Biden won greater than 50% of the votes (not just the delegates).
Why would Bernie have advanced as the candidate?
If you let a torrent of bullshit versus a guy with a cold make you stay home and not vote, yes.
If everyone hates you, it’s generally not everyone else’s fault.
Look at your own efforts here. Shrill, ideological rigidity that pisses off the people you’re hoping your argument will reach.
“Progressives” don’t have a candidate who can win a primary, much less a general election.
yeah, communities should have subject tag sets. I don’t care for anime or sports or video games - i should be able to turn off those tags. Not block 50 different game communities ad hoc
This guy is going to “both sides” himself into a right-wing dictatorship.
Prices have recently been coming down on groceries, gasoline, and consumer goods. Even Target and McDonalds have announce price cuts.
If the democrats had solid control of both houses of congress and the presidency, you would be seeing a single-payer option for health care.
This isn’t true at all.
Just as quick examples, under Democrats, gay people got the right to marry. The Affordable Care Act was passed. And real pay has gone up under Biden.
That’s not mentioning the major climate and infrastructure legislation, dismissal of student debt, rights for DACA holders, etc.
So what are you going to do? Sit out? Republicans winning pulls the Democrats further to the right - since the majority of the votes went to the right; it doesn’t make them think “by golly, most of the nation is to the left of us!”. The most progressive viable party receiving an unquestionable mandate from voters would pull them towards a more progressive position.
If you refuse to vote for Democrats because they don’t perfectly align with your progressive ideals, this is what you get - potentially decades of work implementing environmental, anticorruption, and social justice rolled back by a court that has been stacked with extreme right wingers to legislate from the bench for unpopular outcomes.
There is one viable party that both implements more progressive policies and names judges that will uphold them - do not throw your vote away.

This is what Russian propaganda looks like in 2024
> Pro-Russia social media accounts amplifying stories about divisive political topics such as immigration and campus protests over the war in Gaza.
> Influence operations linked to Russia take aim at a disparate range of targets and subjects around the world. But their hallmarks are consistent: attempting to erode support for Ukraine, discrediting democratic institutions and officials, seizing on existing political divides and harnessing new artificial intelligence tools.
> "They're often producing narratives that feel like they're throwing spaghetti at a wall," said Andy Carvin, managing editor at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which tracks online information operations. "If they can get more people on the internet arguing with each other or trusting each other less, then in some ways their job is done."
The effort includes artificial intelligence, fake social media accounts and a spike in state-sponsored Russian propaganda.

Russia is seeking to exploit America’s divisive debate over Israel’s offensive in Gaza through overt and covert propaganda, with the aim of aggravating political tensions in the U.S. and tarnishing Washington’s global image, according to two sources familiar with U.S. intelligence on the matter.
In its ongoing information war against the United States, Russia has shifted its focus in recent months to the Israel-Hamas conflict, seeking to inflame existing divisions in the West and to portray Washington as fueling the violence, the sources said.

A favorite theme of Russian information operations is to paint America as a failing democratic state, according to U.S. officials and researchers.
At an event last week in Washington, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said Russia works to denigrate America’s standing in the world, to undermine democratic institutions and processes and to exploit social, political and economic divisions “in our culture and in our society.”
What are the best Lemmy clients for iPhone?
Which ones have you tried, which ones did you stop using, and which ones are the best of the bunch?
I am using Memmy and it’s not quite there - difficult touch targets, poor infinite scroll implementation, and crashy search are the big issues.
EDIT: I installed Voyager, it’s working great! Thanks for the suggestions!
