I’m glad the writer with The New Republic doesn’t mince words.

Still this is the classic Trump strategy of doubling-down when backed in a corner. If it’s worked for him all his life why would he do any different now?

Google removes the “market” so they don’t have to be forced to compete with it.

Oof it’s pride and accomplishment all over again.

Instead of fear mongering about orange man bad, why not galvanize support behind actual progressive policies (which are extremely popular btw)? Where are the Dems repeatedly and loudly asking republicans about the last time they proposed any legislation at all that would meaningfully improve the lives of their constituents, ideally in those Repugs’ own districts where it would get free local news coverage and be seen by voters

…When can we have leaders who will actually fight for us?

You raise very good questions that I do not have the answers to. As a generation the best I can think of is to fight back both at the ballot box and organize in the streets.

See my other response:

Democratic senators are introducing legilslation, some of them progressive like Sanders’ 32 h work week law. In the house they propose bills but none will get to the floor without Johnson’s approval.

It’s pretty obvious to me that no progress has happened with Republicans in Congress hell-bent on not passing helpful legislation as that would upset their dear leader. The only way a President can make good on their promises without them is by executive order, which is expanding, enforcing or interpreting existing signed legislation by Congress from present and previous administrations. That’s how it works. His big bid to give everyone 10 to 20k in forgiveness, using the 2002 HEROES act was overruled by conservative’s favourite Supreme Court, so he is trying any other avenue he can find without predatory loan businesses suing it away again.

Don’t get me wrong, Democrats have been sitting on their hands, taking the high road and killing progressive reforms in the name of “compromise” for many years now, and are also funded by rich oligarchs. Biden as a senator voted for the bill preventing student loans being discharged during the same term under W. But the President isn’t King (I will say at least not until November this year), and can’t unilaterally write legislation.

I agree that Democrats are part and parcel with the languid bureaucracy, and are no less bought out by business interests. However, only one side is concerned with functioning as a government, compromise, and being accountable to their constituents and it’s not the Republicans.

Imagine trying to do practically anything but you have some guy in football gear that’s trying to block you from going anywhere or doing anything, even something as simple as replacing a lightbulb becomes difficult.

With the level of obstruction Biden’s administration has faced from Republicans over his term, in the courts and especially their non-functional House of Representatives, I’d say he’s managed to accomplish a hell of a lot when you put that into consideration.

Here’s my experience. Working out as in strength training I did for 9 months and, no, I did get more fit and that is satisfactory but leaves me just super tired.

Long distance running and cycling I’ve done on and off throughout the years give me a runner’s high and though tired I feel really good.

Find someone who values those properties the amount you say they are and then we’ll talk.

Donnie might want to ask Tom Selleck for help making payments

Don’t worry, Tom Selleck totally isn’t going to take your home

Someone should make a comprehensive, easy to follow guide to Lemmy with the latest info and apps, and share it to Reddit including their r/lemmy. Same with Mastodon.

I’ve sworn off of Reddit unfortunately so I’m not going to post, but maybe if I make something I can ask someone to share it there for me?

As your local blundering idiot, I disagree.
