Imagine being so drunk on corporate propaganda you think blocking a strike is in service to the American people.

Biden did it for the billionaires and the corporations dumbass. He doesn’t give a fuck about the American people.

Biden passed like 7 major bills

Yeah one was blocking the rail strike. Really fighting for the American people that guy. /s

I voted for them. Did you?

Trump has already been convicted for some serious crimes they need to actually sentence him.

Capone didn’t end up prison for a lot of the heinous shit he did. But he did end up in prison.

Exactly. Obama’s

Yes we can

Resonated with a lot of people and then it turned out he and the Democratic senators of the 111th congress had no intention on following through.

This is just more of the centerist bullshit that’s led us to where we are in the past 25 years.

Stop defending obstructionists who vote for trash candidates in the Democratic primaries.

They’re definitely on some kind of payroll. People can’t be so bored that they fight this hard for do nothing geriatrics.

Democrats won’t do anything

Why do you suppose this is effective?

Or general strike.

This tbh. I’ve got very little faith in politicians to do something at this point. I would have been happy if 2022 Democratic senators and Biden did nothing and refused to get involved with the rail strike. Yet in another display of solidarity with corporations and billionaires they moved quickly to pass a bipartisan bill to block the rail strike. Wild.

Hence the title:

We need to get the corporate centrists out and real progressives in!

Yeah but then this commenter said the punchline as a question and it added a whole new layer.

How people use a tool in general doesn’t have anything to do with the usefulness of the tool when used correctly.

Do we think when the hammer was invented people only used it correctly? If 99 people out of 100 used it incorrectly would that make it a bad tool? I don’t think so. How people use it in general doesn’t have anything to do with the usefulness of the tool when used correctly.

It doesn’t benefit everyone if it pushes the quality down

Look I know some people will chime in and say things were better when programmers had to do their own memory management but I can’t say I agree. Good tools don’t push quality down. People using tools incorrectly certainly does and it’s a guarantee some people will use new tools incorrectly.

Having a tool that can chew through a lot of code and give you suggestions which can be verified is indisputably valuable. Is it worth all the datacenters? Hell no. But open source people aren’t driving that.

Exactly. 17 years of “incremental progress” and absolutely fuck all has improved.

If only someone had asked the DNC to eliminate ICE once Obama stepped into office…

…

…

…

Lol “Nu-uh they lost control in the last major election” isn’t the point you think it is.

Boomers control the Democratic primaries which is the only opportunity for real change. COVID upset that stranglehold which is why the Democratic party was happy to let Biden prevent a primary in 2024.

This drives me nuts if I am also watching the movie for the first time.

But I love rewatching movies and happy to pause and talk about the plot on the 2nd+ watch.

However I do make a rule that under no circumstances will the conversation be “Who is that actor? What else are they in?” Plot discussions only!

Good.
