Minor correction: the US has no left wing. Just far right and center right.

Learn civics and engage politically at the local level.

Both Trump and Elon have body counts. Trump killed thousands upon thousands. Elon has killed dozens at least. Which has nothing to do with both of them slurping Putin's talking point alphabet soup down.

Never trust the American populace to be anything but moronic. We are brainwashed by right wing fuckery that we can't fathom anything beyond "I don't like this, I'll vote for the other" when the other is worse beyond compare. We don't care. We don't understand. We don't care to understand.

They never did in the US. The Senate and EC both block this.

Well, yes. Redditors and Lemmy users are the same people.

They are the ones who vote. They don't need a majority. They need a majority of voters. They seem to have it. I think we're learning that we have the country that we want more and more everyday. We don't want better, we want this.

We evolved in an environment without heating, plumbing, electricity, and modern medicine. Are you suggesting that we get rid of all that too or just manufactured meat?

You're arguing that Nazis are good people who should be heard. C'mon man. Even you can't think that.

Whatever you need to think to be able to sleep at night dude. You were arguing for enlightened centrism which doesn't work and isn't good nor ethical.

What you're arguing for is, essentially, enlightened centrism. An enlightened centrist will view one side wanting to kill 1000 people and another side wanting to kill 0 people and say we need to meet somewhere in the middle. You can see how that's actually not good, I trust.

AI/LLM, etc., will be used to extract further wealth from labor and give it to wealth owners. We see this right now with the Hollywood strikes, we see it with how organizations are laying off staff and leaning into the LLM craze. This will only end poorly for us poors.
