I mean they are not the same. Corbyn is the real deal, Bernie is a sellout at best, now a sheepdog for the establishment keeping the voters runnung away to 3rd parties.
No surprise one of them got framed and the other one is still around.
Bernie can have his platform to do his show to give their corporate party a progressive face, not the 3rd party candidates who get sabotaged by the Dems and which they try to get of the ballots by lawsuits or any way possible.
They will fight them harder than republicans.
If you want to compare him to UK politics he would be a labour politician.
All talk about being for the people yet doing the opposite.

Couldn’t insult Corbyn any harder

There is only relatively expensive.
Literally everything has gone up with every excuse possible.
Covid, some ship that blocked the Suez canal?!, war in ukraine, not enough rain, too much rain.
Prices never go down after.

that’s also great for meat, minus the ice cream part

After eight.
As a kid in Italy. A grown up taste but I loved it.
Reminds me of that holiday.

LOL at this guy not wanting to deal with facts.
At least you chose the right name.

Soooo, buy expensive Danish plastic?

Well you have Deepseek to prove it.
And while the US is turning their attention to them, harrassing and taunting them they can not start a war with them. They will lose as it is.
And China will only get stronger and widen the gap in tech and military advances. They have also increased their military expenses to 5% which is massive.
Same for Russia.
The US are a dying empire, losing parts of the global cake to both of them.
They play dangerous games and would welcome Europe and Russia or Taiwan get into an armed conflict that only benefits them.
I hope our vasal leaders realise that before it’s too late.
The US doesn’t have friends, only interests.

Ah Germany, where even the Greens are fanatical warmongerers

It was so cool. Until that moment the train doors close and you realise your very expensive player is on its way to the next station… Yes, it’s still a trauma.

1 you didn’t provide any sources. 2 your book suggestion leads me to repeat my comment: ‘geopolitically motivated’.

Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology is a 2022 nonfiction book by Chris Miller, an economic historian and nonresident senior fellow at the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute.

(With mass murderer Dick Cheney on the board of directors)

I have a slight feeling he may not be totally objective.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/02/china-leading-us-in-technology-race-in-all-but-a-few-fields-thinktank-finds What do you think the logical outcome is? China has made phenomenal progress and all the bans and geopolitically motivated sabotage have only accelerated it.
They have plenty results in this field not ‘claims’. I don’t see how you can be dismissive of this.

Those impracticaly large fragile things, failing in cars with the slightest shock? Never cared for them.
Casettes you could throw around, tape them if necessary.
Later minidisc for a short time and digital mp3/flac… So no thank you, like DVD’s spoiling plenty of movies by giving up in the middle due to a tiny scratch these things were a mistake.

Thanks for the info.

In a more general sense, I always felt that only reading sources that alligned with one’s political alignment narrowed one’s perspective.

Definitely, I’m certainly not looking for an echo chamber. It is exactly the opposite since it’s very rare to find something outside the common MSM and social media narrative. Hence the dissapointment with all the news sources mentioned here.

Also the left ones I know have less ‘pulp’, ‘trivial’ -or whatever you can call it- posts and more interesting subjects not covered elsewhere. I am also constantly surprised and impressed with the knowledge the users have. They know their stuff, put effort into replies, provide sources and useful info on sometimes very specific topics or events in history. It’s vastly more educational.

OK, partly off topic: I’m new here and in the fediverse in general. Trying to find out what is what and where I want to be part of.
So I figure I go to Ask Lemmy, where I see your question and found it interesting.
To my surprise, since I was under the impression lemmy.ml was a real leftist place I see mostly horrible MSM sources.
Was I wrong?

Kryptonite-3 doors down.
Or any of those upbeat and obnoxious songs.
And Happy by Pharell.
I hate him, his stupid hat and everything he does in or outside of music.

Isn’t it implied by using this proverb that you know they have some bad qualities?
Same as supporting the ‘lesser evil’? Also, it’s hardly impossible to not be morally superior to these scumbags.
