So what’s the answer? We can complain about people not doing what you want, but what do you suggest?

Yes exactly! The Democratic Party was forced to give out a concession to progressives because progressives got involved and help get Biden voted in.


Is it? I’m on a Lemmy instance and I use Voyager as my daily drive, so I’m pretty behind on Piefed. But that does sound like a good idea.


So if I understand you, Lemmy would benefit from a grouping above /c that’s not instance related? Like Usenet had the rec.cats group which spawned rec.cats.siamese? So maybe a /u universe? If I wanted to read about television I could go to u/television which could merge feeds of c/television@piefed.social and c/television@lemmy.world and any other c/television@.? I could see possibilities of abuse but we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Maybe a /u could be an opt in thing with a manager of some kind to prevent unrelated /c’s from randomly joining.


Not really almost everyone has reciprocal tax agreements. You have to file but you deduct all the taxes you’ve paid the local country.


In some states in the US yes.


I’m a huge fan of Apollo I mean Voyager. I kid … I kid … Voyager is an awesome app and my daily drive for Lemmy. Pretty easy to use and not hard to look at either, but you really do need to use Dark Mode.


“Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.…” - Sen. Tim Scott
Really Tim, more racist then “Fine People on both sides”, more racist then “They’re eating dogs”? Say something is the most racist thing out of the White House is saying a lot.
And honestly Trumps the most racist president since Woodrow Wilson.


Yeah but I think Bruce has figured that out In this one there isn’t any hook except a bit of ICE OUT


Not a chance in hell. If you listen to the song he’s channeling a lot of Woodie Guthrie energy and dragging Trump and Miller. I hope he goes on the late night shows to support this song because you know if does he’s gonna have Woodie’s graffiti on his guitar [This Machine Kills Fascists]



The song is fire too Stop what you’re doing and take a listen I got chills at the end with the fade out to chants of ICE OUT.


Tree-fiddy came so close to making the list I think but it feels right that it didn’t.


I hope that’s my tag now 😂


Because no true Scotsman has proposed one. After all close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.


Yeah and they still tried to kill it as soon as Trump was elected only a sick and dying McCain came in at the last minute to vote with Democrats saved it. And I’ll remind you that the Republican Senate brought up the vote because they thought McCain was to sick to vote.


You do remember in the first year of Trump’s first term they had a vote to kill ‘Obamacare’ and only lost it at the last second when a sick and dying John McCain dragged his ass in to Senate to make the 51st No vote, right? Or last week were they refused to pass an extension on the rebates that make the ACA affordable?


1993 - Bill and Hillary - Just suggesting that they might be interested in a Public Heath option led to a backlash and the Democrats losing 54 seats in the house and 8 Senate seats in the midterms.
2000 - Al Gore - It wasn’t a huge pillar of Gore’s platform but he did campaign on his plan to extend Medicare to pay for prescription drugs, to work for a sensible universal health-care system
2004 - John Kerry - Honestly it really didn’t change his chances but it didn’t help.
2008 - Barrack Obama - He did win and his health plan, which was just a reskin of the Massachusetts health plan, and he even got it through (He did have a Trifecta). But in 2010 the backlash lead to Democrats loosing 63 seats in the house and 7 seats in the Senate.
2012 - It was a squeaker and Obama held on but the Kerry campaign was kind of handicapped by the fact that he was the One who pushed through the Massachusetts health plan.
2016 - Well all of the ‘Medicare for all’ candidates in the Democratic primaries lost to Biden so there too.
History didn’t start in January 2017 with Trumps election. This problem has been rotting in Americas heart for close to a hundred years


Uhhh it lost? Every time someone pushes for Medicare for all they get there asses kick in the election. The only way for Americans to get Medicare for all is to not run on it, and instead jam it past right after an election. Once it’s going they’ll love it but getting there is a struggle or did you not watch what happened with the ACA. Obama jammed it through over major objections, and the Democrats lost heavy in the following midterms. It was albatross around his neck for the rest of his term and only eight years later when the Republicans had a fucking trifecta and try to kill it did Americans decide that the ACA was a good thing.


So British tourists, collecting for their museum?
There’s been no real spike in Trump out of office by 2027 market recently but it’s crawled up a point in the last day. I doubt you’ll find anyone to take a bet on death, to easy to fix (we should be so lucky) but there are several online betting markets that will take your action on out by the end of the year for whatever reason.
