Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed in c/politics

[–] lemzinger75 5 points 3 days ago

Spot on. When times are bad (whether actually true, or simply perceived that way) it should come as no surprise that the people voted for a change. Trump is the embodiment of "anti-establishment". Progressives must take back the party from Neoliberals.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: Here's the Plan to Fight Back in c/politics

[–] lemzinger75 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've always felt that Warren was one of the few politicians who actually cared about making our lives better. This response of hers, however, is completely tone-deaf.

Progressive ballot measures for things like higher min. wage and guaranteed sick leave are (and have always been) hugely popular. Dems must make these policies part of their platform and do a much better job on messaging.

This means they need to stop pushing out progressives. The "I'm not Trump" and "Trump is a threat to democracy" appeals were never going to work. Give people a reason to vote for YOU. SHOW them how you're going to make their lives better.

Calling for an obstructionist policy while Trump holds office is fine, but it does nothing to help you win the next election. It's time to reinvent the Democrat party into one that actually serves the working class and actually "un-rigs" the system against them.

Mark Zuckerberg explained how Meta will crush Google and Microsoft at AI—and Meta warned it could cost more than $30 billion a year in c/technology

I've no doubt it'll be just as successful as their investment in the metaverse.

$45 for a cup?! in c/memes

There is a water jug & mug manufacturer named Stanley. Apparently these "Stanley" brand cups went viral on TikTok, and TikTok users proceeded to buy them all up in a craze. The meme shows homer sitting next to the championship trophy of the National Hockey League, which is called the Stanley cup (no relation whatsoever to the Stanley name brand).

Windows 11 adds native support for RAR, 7-Zip, Tar and other archive formats in c/[email protected]

All 7 paid winRAR users are reportedly furious over this addition.

And the first Teams message is "Hi" and nothing else in c/[email protected]

[–] lemzinger75 2 points 1 year ago

Even better, when you get no message at all. Just a teams popup with "John User wants you to join a call"

Lemmy's version of Place is so much better than Reddit in c/[email protected]

[–] lemzinger75 5 points 1 year ago

100% agree. Who cares if it's "better" than Reddit (what does that even mean)? Saying that just sounds childish.

Young People Should Oppose the Kids Online Safety Act (US-specific) in c/[email protected]

[–] lemzinger75 1 points 1 year ago

No doubt - these bill names are chosen deliberately to not only deceive the public about the intentions, but also elicit an emotional reaction by those who read it. It's absolutely sickening.
