News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I was also very vocal about my distaste for biden.

I might be more upset if I thought elections would be free or fair. I am actually excited to see the neoliberals take the L in the midterms because they fully deserve it.

Then I'm back to reality and wish people would realize the DNC is a sunk cost and start acting now. No need to wait. There are calls for a strike May 1st. Get ready. The goal isn't to drive a stake into the heart of capitalism but it's to hold out as long as we can and show the government we are united.

People aren't reddit. Reddit is people.

I trust in goodness. So I trust in you.

The more time passes the more i think that the likes of Schumer, palosi, andn ow hakeem jeoffreys want to use the democratic party as a controlled opposition to the republicans since they benefit from the oligarchical structuring. Nevermind Palosi's husband got attacked by a MAGA whackjob...

The Democratic party is pivoting to 'republican lite.'

And... frankly WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT THAT? The MAGA aren't going to vote for the diet version. See also Desantes and others in the republican primaries or ltierally anyone but Trump spouting his bullshit.

I'd say minorities won't vote for the lesser evil here but given how many hispanics came out for Trump...

I feel like my voice is either going to be mocked by one party, or ignored by the other while said part ytries begging me for money I don't have.

It's already republican lite. They are delulu thinking, "if only we turn some Republicans to our side." What they will never understand is RNC votes are non transferable. You'd be better off making a whole new party and try to get them to defect. You would have to call it something like, "even crazier Republicans" to make a dent though.

i'm going to admit to being guilty on this front since 'ok liz cheney is on side for ousting trump.... I have problems with her but maybe we can peel away the ones that can be talked away from the flavor-aid-'

Well... at this point anyone who can be swayed likely has been. So chasing their gameplan is a sucker's game. We need t obe more like bernie and triple down on 'the problem isn't trans or minorities it's the fucking robber barons that YOU DID NOT ELECT that are making the real choices in the halls of power.'

Thank you - I’m sick of being told class issues cannot be separated from social issues. You have to be laser focused on: all issues are class issues. Adding social issues as a non-negotiable factor is self-defeating. Remember: all issues are class issues. Lock that in, do not be distracted by anything else claiming one isn’t possible without the other. All issues are class issues, period.

My stance, as the one cis/het guy in my chosen peer group, is this:

  • Put everyone on even footing at base. No lynchings, no treating this or that group as inherently sexual or evil or whatever.

  • Once we have established that baseline. Go back to fifties era taxation for the wealthy.

Point Two should help with point one by way of focusing our rage at the people who have been gleefully pitting us at each other while they siphon money from us.

Gop god rid of cheney before she can do any real damage to thier party, D should advocated for her then, and not waited until the gop have largely abandoned her.

Chasing conservatives whose minds can be changed was always a stupid idea. Obama showed that a message of positive and progressive change increases turnout which favors the Dems because the people who just want things to run smooth or improve are a lot less engaged than the ones who want to tear it down.

But no, they went right back to trying to appease moderates because they don't learn anything.
