This is extremely optimistic. Voting, as we understand it, is not going to exist.

We absolutely can stop running candidates. As a matter of fact, I don’t think we’ll be running candidates ever again.

Listen, Pelosi is just as much a ghoul as most of Congress, but she’s absolutely right here. The media keeps ignoring their responsibilities as much as Congress has ceded its responsibilities to the executive branch. The Supreme Court and Presidency seem to be the only “estates” flexing any of their power and the US does everything it can to get morally reprehensible tools into those positions.

Tapper looks like Trump talking about Jan 6 or the death of Rowe v. Wade shielding himself from blame by saying “He’s the nominee, I thought you might have a reaction.”

What is CNN a fucking YouTube channel now? Are you doing a podcast Jake? Fuck off you corporate shill. Go hang out with Joe Rogan.

Not saying it wasn’t disappointing to see him there, but there is also an argument that the Teamsters were there with a pro-labor message (that was not well received by the crowd) in order to push democrats toward voting on pro labor legislation called the PRO Act I believe, which they did the following week.

I can tell you that there are some very confused members of the Teamsters that will vote against their own interests because they’re brainwashed by right wing media. The leadership is not. They were sending a message to the Democratic Party that lawmakers need to hold up their end of the bargain. The PRO Act ended up on the floor the following week if I recall correctly.

Edit: The PRO Act is legislation meant to strengthen workers’ rights to organize.

Whoa Kevin Barnes is on Lemmy?

Thank you for your service. I was going to say the same thing.

FardyCakes wants the Supreme Court to stop hearing Clarence Thomas.

Oh good. More “The Lord of the Rings” shovelware

Why would you give notice? Just leave.

Bee bo bo bee bo bo

I just don’t see it. There are too many vested interests in maintaining an ever-present conflict to justify consolidated power in the hands of those who have it.

I’m going to save this comment and copy and paste it into comments on basically every news story ever.

Wow, this looks really cool! Dickensian Metroidvania!?!
