Lol, you haven’t heard what the “victory fund” really is yet, have you?
The state parties have to toe the line, or they’re abandoned.
Terrible strategy if the plan is getting Dems in office, great move if you’re blocking any real progress in exchange for bribes donations.
Shit. I was more worried in 2016.
He didn’t leave office peacefully, but he still left.
That’s how human brains work, we avoided the worst case scenario and life moved on. So we run into the same danger, but the response is lowered.
Which is why Dem turnout was so low this time
I’ve been saying this would happen for a long time, lots of people were.
The difference is the people running the DNC are just the people who can raise the most money. And the people with psychology degrees rarely have money as a priority.
We need to start having a party run by sociologists, psychologists, hell even go back to lawyers
The current strategy of 80s go-go Reaganites who only care about money ain’t working.
I lived thru 9/11 and 2016.
For over 20 years everytime a republican became president I’ve been told we’ll never have another election.
Maybe this time the wolf is real, but it’s a basic part of human psychology that more and more people will stop having a fear response everytime they hear “wolf”.
If we really don’t have an election in 2028, we’ll have a civil war before 2032. Maybe what comes after will be better than what we have now.
It sucks to live in interesting times, but that’s what’s happening.
This is literally the day after the election, don’t fucking tell me it’s too late to plan how to fix shit for 2028
I’ll never understand why people think the people running the DNC aren’t total fucking liars that will say anything for money.
Beating trump isn’t hard.
But beating him while grifting a billion dollar campaign funded by the people your voting base hates is very difficult.
Unfortunately when confronted with the choice, the DNC has shown us three elections straight that they’ll always pick money over votes.
So we either need to leave the party or replace leadership.
If we don’t do either 2028 will be exactly the same as the last three elections.
Is your date Alegra Geller?
On the other hand I enjoyed that game for years without ever touching multiplayer…
It’s always weird because everyone talks about how stressful it was, but it never was to me because I could just pause/save and walk away.
Can’t have a gap on a resume…
It was 1940 when the 40 hour work week started, easy to remember, but is going to be real fucking depressing in 2040 when we haven’t made anymore progress
It really is Lemmy wide too
I saw them start up yesterday because I browse by new and all, and it was accounts from all types of random small instances that had been created in the last week. Then all started spamming at the same time.
What I dont understand is why someone would go they all that hassle to make 100s of accounts to all spam the same thing in a language that the vast majority of people who see it can’t understand.
My only guess is it’s like how people will reply with Chinese language charectors talking about things in China, thinking that the person they replied to is paid by the Chinese government and would get in trouble? It’s the only time I see Chinese characters anyways.
Which never really made sense to me to begin with, but maybe someone is super deep into conspiracies and think by doing this all the Chinese actors won’t be able to visit Lemmy?
Shits almost weird enough for me to translate it, but it’s almost definitely going to be stupid bullshit so I haven’t tried.
Anyone dumb enough to do that is lucky it’s just a shittt ad.
But if you put it out in a bar area on a weekend, you’re gonna get a lot of drunk 20 something’s scanning it.
No 10 is said to have been on alert for more than a week about an imminent statement from the ICC that its pre-trial chamber judges have accepted the request of the ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, to issue arrest warrants for war crimes committed in Gaza.
The request for arrest warrants was issued on 20 May against Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, the defence minister, as well as three Hamas leaders, including Yawar Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh, the now-deceased head of the Hamas political bureau.
Welp, looks like all the “what about Hamas?” People are going to need a new excuse.
Go read Lincoln’s inaugural address.
The majority is about how he wasn’t going to federally outlaw slavery.
So yeah. The SC was proslavery, but the North wasn’t against it either until well into the war. Even then it wasn’t about doing the right thing. Wealthy Europeans knew the north would win, but also knew Southern landowners would sell on the cheap during the war.
By federally outlawing slavery, it made the agricultural land in the South drop in value.
This allowed the war to end significantly earlier.
This is why it’s important people understand the details of the civil war.
What lead to it wasn’t just “slavery” it’s that the South wanted the federal government to go into Northern states and bring back anyone that was suspected of being an escaped slave back to the South. Basically they wanted federal law enforcement to go on slave raids.
They won’t be happy with shitty laws in their own states, they want to force everyone else to follow them.
And this time the SC is on their side, and if we won’t fix that, we need to be ready for the bullshit they’ll keep pulling.
She did perfect!
So you think Kamala has zero room for improvement and it can only get worse from last night?
Because that’s what perfect means, not a single bit that could have been handled better
I wouldn’t say “perfect” she did what an average American would be able to do it’s just impossible to not compare her to Biden and trump.
Mr Bean would look like the orator of his generation (what we used to say about Biden 40 years ago) if we’re only comparing him to Biden and trump.
We can’t just ignore Kamala’s faults, if we do the only pressure she’ll have the next four years is to move to the right.
Don’t get complacent, the fascists won’t.
So I’m fine with saying Kamal did well, fine with saying she didn’t great even.
But we should never say a candidate is perfect.
Looks like about a hundred hit 120fps

I saw the clip and I wish the moderators or Kamala had the balls to ask:
Where did you see that on TV and are you concerned misinformation is so advanced that even you are falling for it?
He’d have 100% thrown someone under the bus like he did with Faux News, it was a huge opportunity to frame it in a way that trump would burn any bridge to avoid looking dumb.
Performance is 60?
I thought it was 120 and that’s why this part made no sense:
According to Cerny, while 25% of PS5 owners have a 120 fps-capable TV (with 10% owning VRR displays), a vast majority of PS5 players will choose a game’s performance mode if available – with 75% of all users opting for higher framerates at the cost of visual quality.
But yeah, if 25% have 120 displays and performance mode only gets you 60 in some games, that’s a lot who will upgrade
We got hella people, they got helicopters
They got the bombs and we got the…
we got the
We just started skipping the step where we pick a candidate people want to vote for, and jump straight to fundraising and then never get around to focusing on using the money to get votes.
The modern DNC literally only cares about money and it keeps letting trump get elected
