Thanks for the reminder. Accidentally logged in with a Google account a while back and haven’t deleted the account since because I forget to because I never use it. When I went to delete it today the first thing that I saw was some kind of anti-semitic bullshit.

Fucking.

I hadn’t interacted with the platform and that’s the first fucking thing I saw.

I wonder how long it would take to get there if you booked passage on a boat.

BECAUSE OF BIDEN
Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who introduced a bill to pay both federal workers required to work during the shutdown and those who are furloughed. This proposal was supported by several unions representing federal workers but was ultimately blocked by Senate Democrats. https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/07/politics/shutdown-congress-federal-pay-vote
So I’m confused. Was this another bill?
E: https://lemmy.world/comment/20388431 helped clear that up a bit. Thanks friend.

It’s all part of owning the libs.
Huh. Just occurred to me, that phrase is probably some kind of slavery dog whistle.
Excellent question.

You misunderstand my point. The political leanings of the country as a whole are like a pendulum. The pendulum was swung when Obama was elected. This made all of the fragile racists afraid and so they wanted a strong man to replace Obama. Enter Trump: the perfect shit heel to fill the bill.
Pendulum swung back to the right; Trump was elected.
FTFY: That’s an abusive relationship.
And to be clear, this doesn’t mean we’re not going to push anyway. It needs to happen. My thinking is to keep a long few of things and be prepared for what’s next regardless.
Recently, I can’t remember who, but a republican operative said something very similar they were very worried about the leftward swing that was going to be the result of Trump’s insane policies.
My thinking is that if we were mindful and were aware that for example Obama’s presidency would make Trump’s presidency possible, not directly of course but in the pendulum sense that I’m referring to here, that we would probably have been able to do something more to stop it or at least we could have expected it and prepared in some way.
Really what we need here is some fucking ranked choice voting but who knows when the hell that’s going to happen?

It was always just a fever dream… Sometimes a nightmare.
Lemmy™, we’re happy to help.
If there is any loss, it’ll be like one poster said about the Dems failing to follow the Overton window left, but I think there’s another possible negative; the pendulum swing.
Without Obama, there’d be no trump1. Without Biden/Harris, there’d be no trump2. If we shift far enough left, I’m concerned how far the pendulum will swing right afterwards.
This is not to say Zohran Mamdani’s win wasn’t wonderful and probably the best thing to happen to this country in… probably decades. I’m just acutely aware that this country is probably going to continue to be divided and will keep doing its craziness.
