  Negative, Ghost Rider.

  Both Republicans and Democrats enthusiastically work together to keep us off the ballot and silenced in the media, and that includes federated media.

  Dems get particularly upset when you point out the realities of Biden’s America for the working class.

    That’s funny. My experience with lemmy is it’s overwhelmingly leftist. Any anything that doesn’t reinforce their worldview is heavily downvoted.

      The only things I’ve seen that are exclusively non-leftist is the conservative Lemmy that thinks Fox News and Newsmax is a credible source of information

      The thing is that Democratic Socialism is not seen favorably by a lot of leftists, as they’re seen as being more loyal to the establishment than to revolution. Too leftist for the American Overton window, but not leftist enough for Lemmygrad types, basically

        I don’t know that it’s too leftist for me - just a lot of the personalities are too much for me - i can’t listen to anymore Bernie-would’ve-won and Hillary’s-a-war-criminal 8 years later.

      Anyway left is globally right.

    because any criticism of Biden right now helps Trump to become president. Save your criticisms when there is an actual open primary (ie: 2027), it’s already too late for a challenge to Biden this year, as a majority of states ballot access filing deadline dates have already passed.

        ¯_ (ツ)_/¯ . I consider myself dem soc, I just see the necessity of pragmatism right now when the alternative is a presidential candidate who reads Mein Kampf as an instruction manual.

        In America, you only have two choices. If you vote for something other that democrats or liberals, your vote is literally wasted. Both choices are considered “right” or “centrum right” in most European countries, there is no “left” choice. The system is utterly ridiculous and there’s no escaping it. The most usefull thing you can do with your vote is to choose the least evil party (or join the system and change it from the inside).
