Here we go with the circle jerk of trolls.

No, it isn't.

One of my favorite things about social media is how everyone is seemingly aghast at the egregious and corrupt results of capitalism, but every single election, you all insist to me that I have to vote for a capitalist as a moral imperative.

And it's been accelerating since Reagan, but 99% of voters aren't going to change. Ever.

Yes.

You can vote Green.

That's what you're doing when you vote Green.

You throw away your vote by voting Democrat and Republican.

How badly do they have to fail before you stop doing so?

Some of us don't have the luxury of indulging in protest votes.

Who is this us you're referring to?

Are you a billionaire? That's the only group the Democrats are actually serving. The rest get pretty speeches during campaign time and broken promises after the election.

My vote doesn't mean anything in a two-party system.

We're getting fascists no matter who we elect.

Get rich people to pay taxes.

L---O---L

The Democrats aren't going to make any meaningful changes to tax policy. They're wealthy too, you know.

Student loan forgiveness

I suppose his half measures are nice. It is a bummer that he's not doing more considering he has the authority to act unilaterally, and has used it previously. But when you expect nothing, like I do, half measures seem better than they are.

Even so, Biden is a terrible president.

He's done nothing meaningful about the cost of living crisis. Education and health care are still unaffordable for the working class and poor. This, more than anything else, is what's going to get Trump reelected.

Roe is gone, and Dems' response was to fundraise off of it and do nothing else. Idaho even got away with criminalizing abortion, which means 2/3 of the states will do the same in the next year.

Biden's openly aiding fascist apartheid in Israel with our money. He's also aiding homegrown fascism in America by helping to militarize cops even further.

Homelessness grew 12% last year alone. The cost of living crisis should be Biden's main focus, but all he seems to care about is finding more money we don't have in order to fund other countries' wars.

And you are actively participating in your own oppression, knowingly voting for a candidate when you've seen for four straight decades that either ruling party is going to make your life demonstrably harder.

Do you like paying double for your groceries?

Do you like that your rent is skyrocketing?

Meanwhile they make hundreds of billions appear out of thin air for other countries' wars.

What exactly are you expecting a Democratic vote to change?

If the Democrats did their job Trump wouldn't even be on the ballot, so your faith seems misguided to me.

Vote Green instead.

FlashMobOfOne ,
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

Most of what you ask for requires a Democrat majority so big that they can both pass new laws AND expand SCOTUS. You're blaming them for things they have no power over.

No.

It requires you to stop voting for broken promises and excuses.

Trump would be worse on all metrics you mentioned.

And exactly the same as Biden in nearly all of them.

I am far from an ACAB person, but I do not understand what goes on in US police training that if someone's actively struggling with you

They don't have to.

They enjoy it. The cruelty is the point.

There are some good responses here.

I'd also add that any time something's making you uncomfortable at work, it's a good rule of thumb to document it. Who said what, date and time, etc.

It's just good to have that info in case someone's behavior gets worse.

TBH, I'd really like to see Texas secede and try to make it through hurricane season without those sweet federal monies we all contribute to.

As organized labor gains more steam, this is the kind of bullshit that's going to be thrust in front of our eyes on the "news" more, and more, and more.

This reply came more from the big wins Labor has experienced the last two years, such as the auto, rail, and writers' strikes being resolved, not individual stats.

The pillow thief has disarmed me with their undeniable charm.

In Poland firefighters were called to a house fire. There were no people inside the house but there was a terrified bunny that the firefighters rescued from the flames. ( wgoleniowie.pl )

According to the article the top floor of the house and the roof had burned down completely. The firefighters had to bust in the door and use oxygen masks to get inside. The bunny was found inside an enclosure in one of the rooms. It was panicked and difficult to catch but they succeeded in rescuing the cute little furball. The...

This is why there isn’t a firefighter equivalent of the song ‘Fuck the Police’.

Yes, they are.

But…

These same men are told to go fuck themselves whenever they post about their experiences and progressives get involved in the conversation.

Also this is the US and most people aren’t savvy enough to figure out public transportation unless they’re in NYC.

If you ever come to Kansas City,vour buses and streetcar are fare-free. 🤟

This is on the Missouri side. There’s a streetcar that runs the main corridor of the city, and buses that service the area regionally.

Commutes are part of the work day if the employer does not allow WFH. How else is the employee supposed to show up for work?

This.

Our country went mostly work-from-home for over a year, and people were more productive, not less. If you’re going to inconvenience your work force unnecessarily then you should pay for it, absolutely.

“We’ve Changed the Game”: Teamsters Win Historic UPS Contract ( teamster.org )

Today, the Teamsters reached the most historic tentative agreement for workers in the history of UPS, protecting and rewarding more than 340,000 UPS Teamsters nationwide. The overwhelmingly lucrative contract raises wages for all workers, creates more full-time jobs, and includes dozens of workplace protections and improvements....

I have a little yorkie and toy aussie, and when people fawn over them on the street, I like to joke that they’re purebred Carpathian hellhounds.
