Isn’t that that song about that guy who could have saved the other guy from drowning, but didn’t? And Phil saw it all and at a show he found him?
That’s where I go

The timing is a bit convenient. All tech stocks were already dropping. Almost too much of a coincidence that this story broke now.

We’re random people talking shit on the internet. Of course it’s pointless.

If you have better things to do than source your claims, you probably have better things to do than to make them in the first place.
Nope, I enjoy having conversations IRL and online. When I have a different opinion I try not to say “cite your sources or your wrong”. A lot of times 2 people just have different opinions.
Fact is, I could very easily find 5-10 sources, but you would likely just find some nuance that proves your point while ignoring all the nuance that proves my point. It’s pointless.
We are just 2 regular ass people that disagree with each other. It’s a miracle we found each other!
The perception of “woke 1” being bad is something I never once disagreed with. What I disagreed with was whether that perception reflected the actual reality of what the Democrats said or did.
I’m not really sure the point you’re making. Are you saying that democrats, either as individual politicians or colllective groups that represented the party, were not the ones peddling ideas associated with “woke 1”. Are you saying the ideas of “woke 1” in its entirety weren’t actually bad, but it was perceived as bad unfairly? Or are you saying something else entirely?

Christ, finally. The amount I have to twist people’s arms on this website to do the most basic homework to support their positions. It’s completely ridiculous.
I got better things to do with my life than to dig up sources to defend my opinion to a random person on the internet. As I said, I read plenty of things, news articles, lemmy articles and comments. There’s podcasts that I listen to. I am hyper aware if what I’m seeing is facts or opinions. I love polling podcasts as they are pure numbers and facts.
I do all this so when I need to have an opinion on something, I don’t need to spend hours “doing homework”. If I felt like I didn’t understand something and needed to research it, I would.
I didn’t know what “woke 1” meant, I googled it and found an article that seemed to validate exactly what I’m saying. “Woke 1” is not used as a good phase of the democratic party. Period. The end. That still not good enough for you? Fine.
Honestly, I feel like you and I are 75% on the same side here.

I didn’t want to have to google, but you made me. This article seems to be saying many things I am saying. Democrats went to far being “woke” and have chilled out some.

I don’t know what “woke 1” is
- Comment on Elections Have Consequences 1 week ago:
Politics is not always “hard facts” and sometimes it’s just “perception and feelings”. When I saw this meme I had a reaction based on what I have seen over the last 5-10 years. I am one person on the internet. Feel free to ignore me, but also feel free to recognize that I may be representing an opinion shared by many other people that are not commenting on this thread.
I see posts on here all the time and comments on here all the time that collect to give me a perception of the “community”. Along with talking with friends and family. And not only reading headlines about things a politician said, but listening to their actual words. It is not worth it to me to google sources for you for every opinion or perception I have.
You mentioned El Sayed as an example. I saw a headline yesterday praising him for not turning his back on trans people in his 60 minutes interview. I listened to that interview and didn’t hear anything particularly pro trans. He basically said the government doesn’t need to get involved. Which is a great opinion to have.
Do I feel like having it out with you about how “woke” he is as a candidate? Not really. Especially not when it doesn’t matter.
So what you are saying then is that everybody had beenwoke.
No, that’s not what I’m saying.
- Comment on Elections Have Consequences 1 week ago:
If Talarico and Hamilton had lost, you’d just say that it shows they were too supportive of trans rights
Lol, now you’re just making shit up.
As for El Sayed, I’m not saying everybody has gone full anti-woke. I’m just saying the Democratic party has chilled out in general. There’s gonna be exceptions.
So, in my opinion, this whole narrative is bullshit based on nothing but memories of perceptions.
Ok
- Comment on Elections Have Consequences 1 week ago:
I definitely don’t have time to go through a decade of social media posts and news articles, so the best your going to get from me right now is my memory.
Fact that candidates like Talarico and Hamilton were able to say they didn’t support trans people on the issue of sports without the wrath of the left ending their career is evidence the Democrats are no longer “all in” on woke. Newsom said exactly as much 2 yeas ago and was branded a transphobic bigot immediately. Even though he also said very supportive things of the Trans community in the exact same podcast and has done supportive things. To me, this reaction from the community was a problem. It didn’t help that he sucks in other ways, so nobody really wanted to defend him.
“remember when the Democrats defunded the police” when in fact police budgets were raised almost everywhere, it was just a perception that that happened.
Perception was based on comments by many people on the left supporting this idea. Both politicians and the community. No actual legislation came from this, but the stigma was left behind as a result.
- Comment on Elections Have Consequences 1 week ago:
Relying on vague perceptions and imperfect memories is just bullshit. How I remember it is very different from what you’re saying.
We’re just 2 people sharing our imperfect memories on the internet.
Do you disagree that “woke” issues were a motivating factor for many republic in the past?
- Comment on Elections Have Consequences 1 week ago:
I listen to some podcasts that talk a lot about polling data, and analyze not only how people vote, but why. It’s not political, and just about analysis.
It’s my understanding that there was a backlash to democrats going all in on woke issues. This drove republicans to the polls when they might have been more likely to stay home.
It’s fine to be woke, but let’s just stfu about it. Last thing we need is to encourage republican backlash.
This same thing applied to guns. Democrats talked too much about gun control, which drove Republicans to the polls at massive levels. Now they don’t talk about it, and that’s one less motivation for Republicans.
- Comment on Elections Have Consequences 1 week ago:
There was a lot of legitimate issues with the “woke” movement. Republicans used this as motivation to turn out the vote. Democrats have since chilled out quite a bit. Most didn’t do a 180, but just quit focusing on it.
This win was more a reflection of that than it was legitimizing the “old ways”.
Besides, pronouns never left the emails.
- Comment on Elections Have Consequences 1 week ago:
They didn’t latch onto anything, though. They latched into the things that got their base to turn out strong for bullshit candidates.

- Comment on Good luck, space cowboy 1 month ago:
I’m guessing there’s good jumping on and off points for these types of shows. Like, if you don’t want to watch 1000 episodes, start on episode X and watch till episode Y to get a good complete(ish) story.
