I think you might have a skewed definitions of what “perfect” means. I think most people would settle for “not a monster” but that’s too high of a bar for the DNC.
Worse option is exiling American citizens, tanking the economy, persecuting minorities, taking away rights, ignoring the constitution and, notably, full backing genocide in Gaza.
I saw all of these things happen under the past few “bad options”.
Well then maybe the Democrats should stop following and supporting Republican policy.
Well, I think I see the problem. You seem to think that the Democrats are a leftist party. They are a right-wing party that cosplays as leftist. Their goal is to soak up all of the actual lefitst votes, so that we don’t get actual leftist candidates.
Democrats are not on my side as long as they continue to:
These would all be obvious wins for the Democrats, but they are clearly more interested in continuing the status-quo, than supporting what the voters want.
“…from email to LLMs, that nobody self-hosts”
As someone that self-hosts those things, both professionally and personally, I’m gonna have to disagree. I wish more did, but there are plenty of self-hosters out there, they just don’t get headlines.
I dunno about ebay specifically, as they haven’t banned my account. But I meant this more about websites in general. My experience is that they could just look at the name on my credit-card and realize that I’m the same person, but they don’t. I’m sure there are exemptions.
I get what your saying, and to some extent I agree. But I also don’t think that they would be fighting fascism if they had more power. When they were the majority, they spent their time building up the systems that the fascists are using. They built up the surveillance state, immigration control, torture programs and the police/military powers. They should have spent their time dismantling it, but the Democratics have the mindset of “It’s OK when the Blue Team does these things. Surely the Red Team won’t use that against us!”
I think you dropped this:
Is Trump still worse? yes, absolutely. But maybe the Democrats could try running candidates that aren’t obviously terrible if they want to win.
It seems to me that they do know how voting works in America: If you keep voting for pro-genocide candidates, you keep getting genocide. Maybe one of the two major parties should try running an anti-genocide candidate.
I find it very telling that you blame the person who couldn’t stomach to vote for genocide, instead of blaming your polticians for being pro-genocide.
It’s always amazing to me how people will blame those that couldn’t stomach voting for a pro-genocide candidate, instead of blaming the candidate for being pro-genocide.
Maybe people should be mad at the politicans who gave up fighting for their voters, and handed the victory to Trump
Agreed. When I tried Lemmy, it didn’t have filters, so that was an immediate no for me. I just don’t get the appeal of being fed a list, and not being able to filter out the noise.
One of the reasons that I like owning my domain, is that I can just make another account. ebay2@somedomain.com, and I’m back to buying.
“When you’ve lived a life of privilege, equality feels like oppression”
Yes. I find a lot of people actually learn what they are talking about before talking about it. I also find that a lot of people read what I write, and address those points, rather than points that I never made.
And I have a hard time addressing people who refuse to research, and keep arguing against things that I never said.
lol, that was hilarious

Good for the massive waves of people who want to give Mozilla money. They already can https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/?form=donate-header
That’s not what I said. I said that they wanted to donate to Firefox, not Mozilla. I find it very telling that Mozilla doesn’t let them do that, but insteads forces people to donate to the org, that overpays it’s executives.
Oh yeah. I LOVE when my boss tells me that I am going to get paid less but I will be more effective because of it. Oh, wait, no I don’t.
Who said that the people who are actually working on Firefox would get paid less? I certainly didn’t. I clearly said that the useless executives would get paid less
Honestly? it sounds like you don’t care about reality and just care about things being ideologically pure for you with the expectation that it will all work out. So… maybe try to educate yourself on any of all this before trying to have a discussion about it?
I have. But you clearly didn’t read what I posted. If you aren’t going to address the things that I wrote, why comment?
A lot of people gave Biden and Obama a pass when they were deporting, torturing and bombing innocent people. Some people seem to think that those things are only bad when the Red Team is doing it.
