Thanks for the insight, stacy! By the way, why are you still posting on a nazi platform? Oh for internet points? Cool, cool.
Edit: Damn, there's more nazis on Lemmy than I thought.
Because that's the platform that needs to hear it
Circlejerk preaching to the choir is fun, but doesn't reach the people who need to hear it
You’re right, we should send Bernie to CPAC. Bet he’ll win over lots of hearts and minds.
I mean... yes
I honestly want to see this.
It's better than sending him to a room full of people who already aggrees with him. It's kind of the point
That is the goal in a functioning democracy. That description no longer applies to the US. Our country’s voter base is made up of political illiterates, our new voters get less educated every year, and our elected officials and their oligarch counterparts are running at full tilt in an attempt to normalize and formalize flagrant disregard for our constitution.
Which means it's even more important for charismatic people to talk to the proverbial "other side", because they don't have any other ways to hear the information they don't know they need.
That's what Teamsters did at the RNC and people were far more angry at Teamsters than Republicans happy at hearing a working class message.
Only if you send him with a fucking machine gun. Although bless him, he would never be into that.
I so wish he hadn't been prevented from being president by the corrupt democrats.
Yeah that's bullshit rationalization. You don't pay nazis to advertise anti-nazi sentiment.
As a rule, Lemmings are steadfastly against any course of action that might make an actual difference. They'll post about guillotines and green Mario until the cows come home, since no one actually expects them to act on that sort of thing, but whenever anyone suggests anything that a typical person could actually do it's nothing but excuses.
It's cause you're over at lemmy.world
It's the largest, and therefore has the most mainstream people, who tend to be some flavor of liberal
In theory, joining any server gets you the whole federation experience... In practice, your home server will greatly affect discovery and shape what kind of people you encounter most
It appears the extent of their participation is spewing vitriol and clicking downvote buttons. lol
Meanwhile, I'm going to a capital protest tomorrow. Those of you doing things, KEEP RESISTING THESE FUCKS.
~~Lemmings~~ people in general
