Most of the new Dems are conservative to moderate and won’t go along with “yolo” stuff. The progressives may call for it but they aren’t anywhere close to a majority of the party yet.

You’re not going to see people like Adam Hamilton or Mary Peltola advocating for socialist policies. But you might see them advocating for workers and their families since many of the new Dems ran on that platform and are actually pretty pro labor. They’re moderate on social issues but aren’t from the same corpo wing of the party like Schumer and Jeffries.

People on Reddit/Lemmy will bitch and moan but there’s a chance the moderates will actually do some good things. People voted for change and they know it. But either way it’s our job to hold them accountantable, not just whine about it on social media.

Lemmy is a gigantic bubble for sure. I’m very progressive but this place is even more delusional and hyperagressive than reddit is.

Lots of the new Dems are from deep red states and they’re not going to support “far left” legislation. There’s still plenty of common ground on economic issues to make things better though. And they all want to hold the admin accountable.

Many of the new Dems are pro-labor moderates so they aren’t from the brand of corpo shit bags people here like to dunk on. I don’t see the need for this incessant negativity yet.

I mean Trump can veto anything they pass, so it’s not like your first few points matter either. If they pass a bunch of bills that would help the economy and Trump vetos them, that makes the GOP look even worse than they already do. I’d rather they do that than impeach him at this point. We all know he’s a corrupt piece of shit but we also know impeachment is a waste of time because the cult will keep backing him.

Don’t forget Indian pizza. They put all kinds of flavors on that shit, and it’s good too.

Yes it is pizza. You aren’t the dictator of words and we aren’t going to stop calling it pizza.

The point is that you don’t have a monopoly on defining what food is it isn’t “real” pizza, and old world cuisine very frequently isn’t actually as old as they claim it be. In many cases “new world” food has an even longer history than old world food, especially in South and Central America

So maybe stop acting like it’s some ancient cuisine that people are disrespecting because they use it in a different way. That was the point of the comment

They will if you get off your butt and hold your Dem reps accountable instead of whining on Reddit.

Ok guy 👌

Let me know when your conspiracy theories come true. Until then I’ll be enjoying the win like a normal person.

Mike Johnson already announced that he won’t seek the minority leadership next year. There’s literally no whining about the election result being fake, even from Trump himself. The Republicans are conceding all over the country.

They lost. They aren’t going to do shit because they can’t do shit and they know it. You can’t execute a coup when the entire country resoundingly rejects you. It’s the same reason Orban and Vucic had to leave.

My buddy Hakeem Jefferies? Lmao yeah right.

I never said we should take our foot off the gas, I said they aren’t going to reverse the election results because guess what, they fucking can’t.

Mike Johnson just announced he isn’t even running for minority leader next year but you think they’re going to stop the new Congress from being seated? They’re conceding all over the place, is that what you’d do if you were going to rig the election?

You’re just another weirdo terminally online mfer who can’t admit that all your whining and agitating and pessimism was based on pure delusion, and you’re too cowardly to admit you were wrong.

Exactly. I’m just sick of people who refuse you admit they were wrong and instead double down on their cynical delusions.

They’re not going to do shit. They know they got destroyed and the people aren’t on their side. The fact that they conceded Texas already should tell you everything. It’s literally their most important state outside of Florida.

BS. There were tons of comments claiming he was going to rig the vote, declare martial law, or deploy ice and you know it.

Do you think you’re the only person impacted by the economy and lack of social services? Lmao.

Look at how many people are about to lose medicaid because asshats like you sat out the last election.

The initial claim was that thin clients are the “default” for large companies, and yes we can confidently say that’s bullshit.

I’m not surprised that healthcare could be an exception, given all the pii that is dealt with there. But thin clients are not the default at most companies.

It’s insane how people can’t just admit they they’re blatantly wrong about something and instead play this gaslighting game where they pretend something is unknowable.

The global size of the thin client market is less than $3 billion. Do you honestly believe that covers most “large corporations” on the planet? I guarantee you that employers with thin clients as the default workstation aren’t just a minority, they’re a niche market. https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/articles/thin-clients-global-strategic-business-103200706.html

The default? I’ve never worked for a corporation with thin clients as the main workstation for employees. The only place I worked at with thin clients was a federal government office.

Can’t believe this nonsense has so many updoots.

Yeah and I’m glad she doesn’t. However for me it felt different because I always assumed it was some exagerrated reality TV thing and instead it was a life or death scenario that hit close to home.

There’s some info here but not all the details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman_yelling_at_a_cat

Basically the woman in the meme was in a season of Real Housewives. She was yelling at someone who was gossiping about her husband being a violent abusive prick. The woman was trying to hide his abuse because she was scared her husband might kill her or their kids if the abuse became public. So she’s basically in full flight or fight mode and terrified for her life in the meme picture because this other asshole is outing the abuse in front of everyone.

Her POS husband ended up committing suicide so at least she’s safe now though. But it hit me pretty hard to find all of this out because I went through a similar situation with my mom when I was a kid.

It’s one of my favorites too but I found out the reality behind it and it’s way darker and more depressing than I realized
