Wishful fucking thinking.

We’re going to have so many years of unwinding all of the terrible changes that are coming our way. If we ever have the chance to unwind them.

I meant funding them but I guess that’s also a possibility.

Musk goes all in on 2026 mid terms and the 2028 presidential elections for the libertarian party.

There’s a cognitive dissonance on Lemmy. I keep seeing people post the electorate is stupid for electing trump or staying home while also seeing posts like this acknowledging that the democratic party isn’t listening to the constituency. I realize it’s likely very different audiences but this is very much a bubble among liberals which unfortunately make up a large part of the party voting base. They were fine with everything continuing to suck a tiny bit more because the alternative was Trump. I think people are just squeezed and exhausted. They’re tired of being given the narrative that this is the election that will end all elections while things continue to get worse around the margins. And I think the people that would vote for systemic change don’t see Democrats capable of delivering on anything substantive.

Note: This is not an endorsement of Trump or not voting at all as a result. But people really need to reckon with how broken shit is before blaming voters. Democrats have no incentives to fix anything.

JD Vance (and Peter Thiel, David Sacks, Elon Musk) is not a replacement I would welcome in the event of Trump no longer being able to be president.

This is how you get new alliances around the world against the US. This could spiral very quickly.

People about to be surprised that the leopards are eating their faces.

Exactly this. Meanwhile food prices are high, homes and rents are unaffordable, and healthcare sucks, and tuition is through the roof. Biden sending billions to fund a genocide while all of this shit was happening at home was the demotivation people needed to stay home.

“Every allegation is a confession” example 1 billion.

I hope it’s painful.

All of it.

When will justice be served for Palestinians?

I hear you. I agree that union busting is bad. I support trader joes employees unionizing. I don’t want their stores to close and those employees to be out of a job.

Trader Joe’s, aldi, and small private stores from now on. Go fuck yourselves Kroeger.

No. In the non sales world, I’ve built some really cool solutions for clients.

I work for a consulting company and they’re truly going off the deep end pushing consultants to sell this miracle solution. They are now doing weekly product demos and all of them are absolutely useless hype grifts. It’s maddening.

That’s because Musk is a dunce.

The escalation was the pager detonation war crime that Israel committed in mid September. This article framing is bullshit.

Add it to the list.
