This strikes a chord for sure. I’m pretty angry with the Democrats right now. They keep sending me Kamala fundraising emails and this seems completely tone-deaf. I do not want more of the same.

Now that they’ve voted they will be neglected, not directly abused. Kinda like a pimp leading his hoes to think he cares about them.

VubDapple@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Harris Tried to Win Over Republicans. Democratic Support Collapsed Instead.81·8 months agoCool-aide, silos and two parties who both neglected the little guy given that their wealthy backers can’t stomach doing so. Yes the Democrats ignore them less (Joe Biden’s effort to forgive student loans) but it wasn’t enough, and Trump says what desperate people want to hear I guess.

VubDapple@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Once Again, the Democratic Leadership Has Failed Us All74·8 months agoThat’s one interpretation of what it could mean but one I expect is overly simplistic.
There is a difference between being happy with fascism and not feeling motivated enough to resist it. If the tide has any chance of turning towards what would be more healthy it will have to come by creating a platform that really excites and motivates a large number of people to invest in it. It has to feel authentic to those who are feeling unmotivated today eg the millions of former Biden voters who did not turn out. It should activate people who are not reliable voters to genuinely support the cause.
I’m no leftist but I do agree that Democrats and others whose main goals are to leave unchallenged the status quo of growing wealth inequality cannot win going forward. The promise of a truly experienced greater tangible quality of life, enough food, affordable housing, access to affordable medical care, debt relief, high minimum wages and/or UBI, etc would move the needle better towards excitement and engagement than abstractions like defence of democracy. “A chicken in every pot”. We need another FDR. We need a strong middle class and that has to mean powerful unions.

Don’t kill yourself. Get some sleep and give it some time. You can always die later and maybe there will be an opportunity to do some good in the meantime.

VubDapple@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump calls 6 January US Capitol riot a 'day of love'131·9 months agoA severe narcissist like him can only represent his own perspective. Outside perspectives don’t exist. From his perspective that was a day when the audience loved him and did what he wanted them to do.
