  • Is it just me or are all of those problems directly related to republican or at least conservative policies? Healthcare crisis because they oppose universal healthcare, debt crisis because they don’t believe in regulations on banks as well as bailing out Wall Street whenever they ask these days, a housing crisis because we let corporations run wild and buy up single family homes for the sole purpose of renting them at incredibly unaffordable rent levels. I think you can point to many instances where we are in the situation we are in, specifically because they are incapable of governing for the people and not for themselves and their friends.






  • However, some were supportive of the plan. “He’s almost onto something with that,” one person wrote. “I’ve been saying if they insist that life starts at conception, men need to be paying child support at conception. Make the testing free. And demand back pay.”

    I can’t tell if the writer is playing along with the joke or not. I read that to be quote not actually supportive of the plan, but pointing out the obvious conclusions to actually make this stupid idea work.


  • I have been giving all the apps a go as well. I was using RIF for over 5yrs prior to the switch. I grabbed the sync app as soon as it was available and was so impressed that I immediately bought ultra, mostly to support the developers. I know it’s steep, but maybe as more users start using lemmy the price will come down a bit.

    So far I am very impressed with sync. I love how granular the controls are even to the point of having different settings for different logins. Account switching is super easy between several alts that I have and I am really looking forward to being able to import my community subscription to my back up instances in the near future. More than happy with my purchase and I hope the developers continue their outstanding work.



  • Here is my problem:

    “We’re just at the start of it,” she said. “Every registered voter, every elected official, every volunteer, needs to start taking ownership and ask what they can do for the Democratic party, not what the Democratic party can do for them."

    emphasis is mine We are so stuck in team mentality. Why should we ask what we can do for a party and not how can we better help the American Citizen? Maybe she is trying to echo JFK, but that was a different time and for a different reason that he was making that statement, I believe. I do agree with her that DeSantis isn’t as popular as he thinks. I moved from Texas where they have open primaries, and when I moved to FL last year I registered republican because you have to pick one to vote in primaries, but I voted for almost all democrats in the last election. The contrast between what I see in the news and what I feel in my community are different as well. I live in a small city in central FL and there are pride flags everywhere. I have seen less and less trump flags or bumper stickers as well in the last year. I want Florida to be better. There is no reason people who hate so much should control such a beautiful state.
