Lemmy is just as late and just as reluctant to make real change happen as well. Before the election, anyone who didn’t worship Biden/Harris admin were “traitors” and “russian assets.” When the reality is that Democratic Party was doomed to lose from the start because of poor leadership.
Funny how it’s ok to say now, but was a bannable offense several months ago. lol
It’s uncanny how much this sounds like a universal_monk talking point. And it’s one that I wholeheartedly agree with. The democrats are quite useless and seem extremely unlikely to get their shit together to come up with any meaningful pro working class platform.
And Lemmy as a whole, too- unless I am very mistaken, it seems like mainstream lemmy is firmly in the liberal big-bank capitalist camp. Actual leftists (and here I am excluding tankies, just because of my personal ideological bias, I don’t consider them serious or capable of producing sustainable answers) are still a smallish group.
Here’s hoping that Americans turning away from fascism will see that the democrats are not a viable alternative, and that a third party, or a new way will gain enough momentum and strength to roll over these worthless bastards, conservative and liberal, to build an America that’s good for everyone.
I’m all for a third party. And now that Lemmy realized that the Democrats got their asses handed to them in the election, in addition to not looking out for working people, Lemmy is becoming more open to it now.
But yeah, people used to get banned and called russian assets for advocating third party. And look how that attitude worked out for Lemmy and Democrats. lol

I think it was desperation trying to avert Trump’s election. Not saying you’re wrong of course.

Then they should have admitted it instead of pretending that Biden was awesome, and that his replacement was awesome. Neither of them were.
