Saying I felt like it is not a justification. Wouldn’t call this a cope either. I know things are bad, but there’s still room for them to get much much worse. I think they will reach that point. It’s just watching the milestones pass now.

There are words and there are actions, but we’re not far off

I don’t know how to make people understand the difference between personal and national debt. It’s frustrating

At least they’re still working under pretense and condition. They “can’t” turn them around because they’re already in route.

It’s not good, but they are using a contrived reason. I’m afraid for the day they stop trying to justify it and keep doing it.

Things are getting to that point rapidly

If they arrest more people after the court order. That will tell us for sure.

I’m not saying things are good right now, they’re pretty bleak

The pressure the DNC seems to exert over it’s canidates is insane. There was probably a lot of pressure on her to toe the line. I heard they reigned in Walz quite a bit too.

Maybe one day the DNC will learn

They’ve broken the law blatantly and have not reversed some things that they should have, but typically they have stopped doing the action when the courts have ordered it.

So they have sorta, but not outright

People felt pain during Bidens admin from inflation and moved to trump. After the pain he will cause I think we will see a much larger shift

Once this administration defies the courts democracy will be over in the US.

It won’t be a one off either, he will then begin doing whatever he wants. Congress will not stop him.

Postponing it won’t matter. Unless he announces retirment we’ll be there

And that will be their downfall eventually. Once enough everyday people feel the pain they will vote to change it. But it’s going to take a lot of pain.

Hopefully we have midterms

Exactly, I love Bernie, but he’s old. Of a new generation of young progressives don’t establish a foothold in the senate change will not happen.

Ot at least not through peaceful means.

We need a progressive takeover of the democratic party. The MAGAs tranformed the republican party in what 10 years?

If we have midterms it has to start then.

This is the truth and you should be outraged, but calling truthful reporting “instigating outrage” is insane

I liked my karma back on my old reddit account (before being banned from supporting Luigi), but that is because I had the account for 12 years and invested too much time into it.

So far I’m enjoying the laid back nature of lemmy. Hopefully there will be more engagement, maybe some UI updates too. But overall I’m liking the switch. The conversations and posts feel more real.
