Why is the butt plug room so small? Are we even serious about fighting fascism?

Brutal self own for Lemmy

I had a similar thought about Bill Clinton’s dick back when we learned that Trump sucked him off. I know Bubba was POTUS, but people seemed to be lining up to blow him. His penis must be immaculate, whatever that means.

Because outlawing vaccines can’t bring you a mojito by the pool? Also, while that’s a bold plan to eradicate the poors, all of human history up until vaccines were created suggests it might not work.

Cool sarcasm, but again, the ACA further enshrines our broken system and makes universal coverage even less likely to happen. They could have greatly expanded Medicare & Medicaid coverage, but instead went with the Heritage Foundation plan. The Obama/3rd Way practice of pre-compromising is a big part of how we got to where we are now. Where can the right wing party go when the “left wing” party is pushing right wing policies?

This seems less “bOtH sIdEs” and more of a call to reform the DNC, an organization that doesn’t even pretend to promise progressive policies as OP suggests so much as it actively fights against progressive candidates. Also, several of the wins you listed are not so great. The ACA is a Heritage Foundation plan that delays the USA joining the civilized world with universal coverage. The CHIPS act sounds good in principle except it’s corporate welfare that hyper inflated the AI bubble.

There are systemic barriers to a 3rd (or 4th etc) party. No amount of campaigning or organizing will make them viable without systemic change. Attempting to push 3rd parties at the ballot box will, hilariously (in a sad way), benefit the party you least align with.

The Gang of Pedos has never let something as trivial as evidence guide their world view. Also not big fans of consent.

We’re already well on the way to having supercritical CO2 generators. Sure, it’s still a steam engine, but supercritical CO2 makes it sound so much sciencier.

In the 1930s the Labor force participation rate was almost 20% higher (https://www.dol.gov/agencies/wb/data/lfp/US-Workforce-Since-1920). Then you factor in the underemployment and gig work you mentioned as well as how inflation has been a lie since the 1990s, and I’m not sure things sucked “MUCH” harder in economic terms. We do have better toys thanks to 80 years of NSF and other government funded science, but we’re ending that now too.

Facebook will announce some new feature, spin up a few million more bots, and have a glowing report for the investors next month.

Did Bernie read my Terminator fanfic? The one where the 1% are living it up on some islands with T800 butlers while the Terminators clear out the rest of humanity?
