I’d argue that the left was too divided before, but now are surging. Now that BSW has splintered out, Die Linke is ore unified than in decades. And with BSW seemingly shooting itself in the foot by self sabotaging their own state prospects, they have shown they’d rather prioritize being a pro Russia voice in the opposition than a constructive player for the people.

The BSWs leaving has helped focus the Linkspartei on its socialist, anti fascist core. And the voters seem to recognize it

Isn’t like Emmanuel Macron auch a case? His former teacher is his now wife, they started their relationship when he was her student?

If they rely on insurance to not fuck them over, I wish them good luck. Because boy, do insurances have the capacity and willingness to fuck people over

Seeing alot of (for good reason) depressed folks here. I think we need to build community, in real life or online if there’s no other way.

Masterful bait sir, you truly got them

A fair bit of reform isn’t what people are hoping for. They want radical change. Trump in a fucked up way promises that even though we all know it will be disastrous and just even more oligarchy.

I don’t know much about Hillary’s campaign other than hawkish speeches against Iran. I definitely dont remember radical promises that truly make the lives of Americans better.

Now, Kamala definitely didn’t present any great ideas in her campaign better than 25k for houses if you fit some specific criteria. Tell me how that’s a radical idea to combat high costs of living across the board. At first, when she announced Walz she made anti price gouging remarks, but she seemingly dropped those. Biden did have some progressive policies (he couldn’t communicate since he was a mummy, but hey) which she could try to lift and use herself as a starting point. She didn’t. She did the “Trump was horrible, remember?” campaign which is a remix of Hillarys losing “Trump is crazy” strategy.

600,000 people are homeless. People are in endless medical or student debt. Prices are sky high. Billionaires are getting even richer. And Kamala can’t find a simple but radical slogan to combat one of these problems. Instead she says she’s not gonna change much when the perception is that Biden did too little . Even if Biden actually has been better than he could present himself in his tine, she should have said I’m gonna step up our game. Even if it meant hurting the feelings of a president with dementia.

Yeah, right. That totally makes Lemmy better. It’s so pleasant to always bicker and threaten to defederate from each other. It’s also so unlike Reddit where Subreddits brigade each other and have sub wars. Lemmy is so unique in that… /s

Crazy how Israel is doing these things on video many times, but we shouldn’t worry about that since Hamas surely has done it and that too is a reason why it’s okay that Palestinians die as “collateral damage”. Ignore the Israeli politicians in charge and military people who called for these civilians to be slaughtered, no that’s only talk and no indication that it has intentionally happened. Realitätsverlust, Name ist Programm 👍

It feels like the same in Germany. Public service, education and infrastructure budgets are wrung dry while certain top percent owners accumulate massive wealth. Now they’re blaming migrants
