It is not presumptuous. In order to modify the 22nd amendment, which set term limits for the president, or ratify any amendment, both the HoR and the Senate would need to pass it with 2/3, then 3/4 of the states. That’s obviously never going to happen. This doomer talk is not constructive. He won’t be here in 4 weeks. His legacy and ideology on the other hand, I fear, will be present for decades to come.

But Lemmy was obsessed with him far before his ties to the current administration. No reason to believe it won’t continue after the next four years.

Seriously can’t escape Elon Musk fucking anywhere. Putting on a filter only helps slightly.

As a US citizen, it’s never been hostile towards me. In fact, I would imagine most people have had little to no engagement with the federal government (outside of the routine items: taxes, etc…) Now, their state government may be a different story.

So unless the progressives can force a realignment along some new issue and subsume a major party, creating another party would just be handing a lot of elections over to the Republicans.

This is why lemmy was so vehemently against Jill stein and the greens even though most people on here agree with her politics more than kamala, because they saw her as sabotaging the democrats chances and handing the election to trump.

This sounds like living in a perpetual state of short term gain long term loss. Change won’t happen over night, and you may lose a few elections in the short term, but ultimately you’ll establish a party you actual want to support instead of one you’re kind of willing to tolerate.

I’m not going to criticize Jill Stein or her party for voting based on their beliefs.

I disagree, or perhaps it depends on how you look at it. If a small, vocal minority in an overall larger group begin to push policies/opinions consistently that are not shared by the overall larger group, you could argue the values of the small and larger group no longer completely align. If the smaller group continues even after being made aware those policies/opinions aren’t going to fly, one could argue they are now separate groups. I suppose it depends on how far their values have grown apart from each other.

I’m not necessarily saying that is what is happening here, but it’s no secret progressives aren’t happy with the democratic party establishment. Starting your own party might be best.

Maybe progressives should simply start their own party instead of trying to hijack a current one.

I mean, come on people, it’s current year, not past year.

Finally, a fucking sense of humor. Like finding a golden ticket in a candy bar.

By “here” do you mean Lemmy? And the suns are just complaining? Because if so then yes, I agree.

Props for using a Land Before Time template. Yup yup.

Right? Fuck that guy. That’s his problem, not mine.

IT help desks HATE this one simple trick.

So I pulled out my robe and wizard hat.

She was one of only three seasons I continued to watch the garbage pile that was Discovery. But this was easily the worst I’ve gotten from her character. Not because of her acting. Her character just seemed watered down in this movie.

It’s nice he is finally able to live as himself.

I can’t imagine what would have satisfied Russia other than complete surrender. Ukraine had few other options than to fight. Uphill as their battle may have been.

Unfortunately, everyone of your quoted feedback is spot on. Lemmy got the worst of reddit’s political echo chamber combined with the “I am so smart” crowd. To make Lemmy barely tolerable, I’ve had to filter far too many words and block far too many communities. Most people aren’t going to jump through hoops to make a platform usable.
