This shows up on my main feed. Lemmy has had the ability to designate local-only communities for over a year. This is a public, federated post.

It achieved false catharsis, the main scam product Democrats are always selling. Performative nonsense immediately contradicted by their actual (lack of) actions. Immediately afterwards they helped confirm a Trump judicial appointment with help from Booker. His long speech wasn't even to delay any legislation. It has no so-called momentum, which you can note has no stated descriptors in the other comment. Momentum for what? Sitting on your hands and then voting for them again in 4 years? This is not a real political party, it is just the controlled opposition of the US political duopoly trying its usual parlor tricks to make its potential voters stop recognizing how they aren't cleaning house or really doing anything at all.

Real parties do exist. It is a struggle due to the aforementioned duopoly and general level of political education in the USA, but it is a struggle worth joining because this is the only "opposition" you will ever see being forwarded by the Democratic Party by its own volition. Every bit of progress has been hard fought and its vanguard has always been left organizing outside of the major parties. Join that vsnguard!

He is just extremely into Juche? A self-sufficient country with multiple supply chains feeding into each other? WRONG! Every cooperative will manufacture every product from bottom to top with nothing shared between products.

Presumably why it has raw LaTeX-style subscripting like tau_i but isn't actually rendering it. When you ask an LLM to regurgitate academic-sounding math it's gonna reproduce patterns from both unicode rendetings and source LaTeX.

Save money, learn to live cheaply, and become a socialist organizing your community.

That's correct. SEIU is wed to the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party supports most of what Trump does but knows it would be bad optics to outright say so. And they have no functional means of resistance - their constant goal is to get elected by simply not being Republicans so that they don't have to actually implement publicly beneficial policy. And because of this, they guarantee a Republican victory the next time around. So SEIU has a worse than useless political arm, it actually works against itself due to myopia, liberal cooption, and corruption.

But the nice thing about organized labor is that you can struggle within it. You can help make your local better, help tie it to practical action, help get socialists into positions of power within it. It will sometimes be a fight but this is also infinitely more impact than you would ever have via electoral politics.

It is self-hosting. But use your own servers for anything critical for privacy. Any VPS provider could snoop if they wanted to.

Republicans already set this precedent decades ago. Democrats retconned the power of the parliamentarian.

"Next time around, there's no going back now"

Republicans have repeatedly overruled or fired the parliamentarian for years and years. Democrats later tried to pretend they were an absolute roadblock for campaign promises.

They will "go back" immediately.

Shaming often works actually.

Increase all avenues of advocacy. They all basically work, some are better for certain people than others.

To be safe you could make a user account just for pirated games. This would make it so that any games running on the compatibility layer wouldn't be able to do anything particularly malicious. I think the overall risk is already low but a separate user would make it basically nonexistent.
