  • Why do people think the majority or even a large percentage of people in the US at this point will die on the hill of their sexism and racism?

    Some of those people exist but most people want to hear a politician speaking to real things, they don’t have the energy to engage in the degree of identity politics bullshit the DNC and DC class of pundits seem to think everyone does. Even if you are somewhat sexist or racist if someone is promising you well thought out cost of housing policy reforms at a certain point you have to look after your family and support it to keep a roof over your head.

    Sure MAGA cultists won’t or at least won’t get caught doing it but that isn’t the point. It is about speaking to everyone else.

    A woman can absolutely win the next presidential election, there is a good chance our best option is a woman. It comes down to how the next presidential candidate can speak to the issues that are crushing everyday people.



  • Not a good idea.

    I think Kamala got totally screwed over by Biden, I think there is a chance if he had stepped out earlier that she could have had more time to differentiate herself from Biden, but there just wasn’t enough time. A significant amount of voters didn’t even know Biden had dropped out it happened so late in the process.

    That can be true along with the fact that Kamala is not the right candidate now and she won’t win. I say this as someone who criticized her heavily on certain issues but still voted for her because yeah Trump is a fascist.

    Also… it isn’t because she is a woman it is because she doesn’t have a track record of being genuinely for everyday issues like housing, healthcare and genuinely progressive reform. There are better people for this moment. We need people like AOC, Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar etc…

    We have a lot of amazing women in politics in the US right now all the way to nearly the highest levels of power, Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton just aren’t the right people for the moment, it isn’t about them being women though yes the US is sexist as hell still.









  • You ever check up on these cute and heartwearming stories about moms coming home and having a bunch of kids awhile later?

    I lean in and after looking around with a paranoid expression whisper in your ear - They all end up dead in the creek, UPSTREAM from the waterfalls, something is fishy about this…



















  • I used to post a bunch of articles there, I love that community but I recently had a bad experience with the way the Lemmy World team treated my concerns (and many others’s concerns) about Jordan Lund and the selective, problematic moderation of the Lemmy World politics and gobal politics communities. See this post here.

    Also see the post I made on the Lemmy World Support community and it was locked for frivolous reasons.

    I know this is a strong reaction, but I stand by it, this is very important for the health of the Fediverse.

    If I were part of the Fuck AI community on Lemmy World I would be concerned that once more and more news articles and journalism comes out about how some US tech companies were knowingly complicit in the Palestinian Genocide as a profit seeking venture I would be nervous that the Lemmy World team wouldn’t begin to become pretty uncomfortable with the Fuck AI community.

    I would love love love if y’all migrated somewhere that was more willing to confront the ways in which AI has become a tool of obfuscation for complicity in a globalized system of violence that transcends the confines of any one single country.
