Not by voting.

Lol.

Can you provide examples of countries with viable left leaning parties that didn’t get there by voting?

You think working class organization is successful without voting in candidates that champion their cause?

Then explain why the entire planet is capitalist and yet other countries have FAR more left leaning parties.

The Democrat party can be moved left if liberal voters make it happen.

EDIT: Yo downvoters, start a violent revolution or keep your fucking downvotes to yourself. Or, better yet, submit an idea, if you can, for what you think can be done. Because in reality, your options are start a violent revolution or reform the Democrat party. There are no viable 3rd parties in America and none are even trying to be viable. Use your fucking brains instead of your fingers to downvote. You are part of the problem.

EDIT 2: Honestly, my bad guys. I didn’t notice I was in .ml. The lack of common sense makes a lot more sense now.

Sure, Jan.

Then primary the bad actors and reform the Democrat party.

This is your option. There is no other option than violent revolution and I can assure you from spending my entire life in this country that modern Americans don’t have it in them.

If conservatives can morph the Republican party into the traitorous entity it is now, then liberals can reform the Democrat party to move more to the left.

History proves party reformation is possible, and inevitable.

That’s because rich people aren’t good people.

Mmmm.

.ml censorship. The Reddit of Lemmy.

I mean that’s literally why you have to ask for those things from behind the counter now. That literally proves my point.

Lol. Have fun searching the cosmos for a world where conscious beings only take what they need.

I’ve been noticing I’m having less patience for puzzle solving in games than I used to.

I can’t tell if it’s because of the short attention span future we’re heading into or if I just play enough video games that I’m tired of solving puzzles.

You mean the guy that took millions of gamer’s money for a series everyone loved and that allowed his company to survive, only to abandon that series in favor of making mountains of cash with another product, may not be the standup guy a bunch of fanboys thought he was?

No way.

He won’t “fall” until his supporters stop supporting him.

To be clear, his supporters voted for him in 2024 even though he was already a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and insurrectionist.

They will not care if they find out he fucked children.

It’s because making the world better requires change and conservatives are terrified of everything, especially change.

Go up to a conservative. Any conservative. And ask them to talk about politics. No other prompt. Just talk about politics. Don’t interrupt them for maybe 5 minutes. They’ll spend at least 95% of their time talking about fear, in some form or another. Conservatism is built upon, and maintained, by fear.

Would you work tirelessly and with little personal benefit to help promote and spread fascism in America under a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and traitor to our nation?

American here.

Because Americans are stupid.

Well, enough are anyway.

This is the country that made a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist with one failed presidency under his belt our leader…again.

We did already impeach him…twice. But now Republicans are in total control (see stupid Americans comment above), so Republicans would have to impeach him this time, but they’re all spineless fascists, so that isn’t happening. In America impeachment is just the first step, then the Senate has to actually remove them. After the first two impeachments the spineless fascist Republicans in the Senate refused to remove him, even though it was at the very end of his first term and gave them the perfect opportunity to permanently rid themselves of him. But again, they are spineless fascists.

Why do many Americans support him? It’s a combination of stupidity, ignorance, hate, and fear. Humans who don’t receive a proper education or upbringing end up being easily manipulated by those things. That’s the case here in America. Expect it to get a whole lot worse.

Just like Reddit, you have to add your personalized subs before you can really start enjoying it. Start looking for subs you like.

The bottom line is that there isn’t enough content to last all day like Reddit, but I see that as a good thing. I wrap up on Lemmy and then I can dig myself into a Wikipedia hole and learn something.

Best part about Lemmy is my comments actually get seen and responded to and it can take a couple days before a post is dead, unlike Reddit where if I comment 4 hours after it’s posted, it’s dead and there’s no activity on my comments.

Reddit feels like I’m a dog hanging out a car window trying to bite at the air as it whips past me but never getting anything of substance. Lemmy feels like I’m in an AA support group and we’re all sitting in a circle communicating and sharing our addiction together.

If it isn’t crystal clear now, I don’t know what crystal or clear is.

Conservatives are fascists. Fascists are liars. They are not to be trusted.

Lol.

The Divided States of Trashcanistan hasn’t hosted since 1994 and it’s going to be an absolute garbage shitshow for the wealthy only. Probably plagued with ICE terrorists. Not to mention another year under this admin and the dollar will probably have tanked another 10% and our cost of living will probably be even more absurd.

There’s going to be 6 games within a 2 hour drive from me and I have no intention of going to any of them, despite spending the last few decades fantasizing about going to a World Cup game with some friends.

Pathetic shithole.

Asheron’s Call. My first MMO experience.

There’s still private servers running. When I hopped in one a few years ago there were maybe 5 other people playing. So, still there to explore, but not much in the way of people to play with.

I’d call myself a history buff and I’m not sure I’ve ever read about any single individual in the annals of history more pathetic than Donald Trump.
