Until progressives learn to play and win the messaging game, we’re wasting our time. But it has to start with positive messaging not negative messaging. Trumpists have that market cornered.

The whole point is that progressives are getting CRUSHED by the corporatists because the whiners can’t stop eating their own.

Well progressives are to blame for their incessant whining that any candidate that is not 100% progressive is absolute shit. Progressives are bitching about PEOPLE while corporatists are controlling the narrative about ISSUES.

I get it. Maybe we can all just start by changing the conversation and focus on the positive things Biden has done and encourage more of the same. The narrative is only focusing on the negatives and that will affect polling and voting.

Good questions. As with most things in society, true change has to start small. So you have to start by changing the messaging. With greater organization and messaging you start local and build a foundation. It drives me nuts that we have these conversations every 4 years about the presidency and then everybody goes back to their lives for another 4 years. Meanwhile the corporate machine is continuing their messaging that “government bad, worker’s rights/unions bad, minimum wage bad, welfare bad, education bad, stock market good”. What do you expect?

If Americans can’t realize for themselves that Biden is the most progressive president we’ve had since Jimmy Carter then we deserve Trumps dictatorship. I’m not saying Biden is adequately progressive (he’s not), but can anyone name a more progressive president in the last 50 years?

Narrator: they don’t and have never promoted democracy elsewhere in the world. The chickens are coming home to roost.

Fortunately the Colorado Supreme Court gave the SCOTUS a deadline of Jan 5 to rule or STFU. This will go a long way towards determining whether we continue to have somewhat of a democratic-ish country or we run full steam into fascism.

Everyone should listen to Biden on Conan OBrien’s podcast. He’s old but not demented. He’s the president we need but don’t deserve.

Bill you keep using the word “nice”. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Meanwhile, God is good with the US setting yet another firearm mass murder yearly record because for sure God is a second amendment advocate.

Stop complaining about how old he is and look at his actions.

Or maybe vote for Trump so we can have Walmart Hitler. SMH.

Good point. I’m sure the medical professionals didn’t think of - what did you call it? Covid? - during their medical evaluation of respiratory disease.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

I don’t think anyone in this community is going to argue that Trump didn’t break the law, egregiously and many many times. What everyone doubts is that there will be any real consequences for the wealthy elite, especially this one.

And when he had his chance, he continued a drone program that killed almost 4,000 civilians. His hands are pretty fucking dirty.

Everybody here knows that 15 players protested the cruel actions of their coach a few months ago and were…left off the team. Right? 3 apologized and were allowed back on the team. There is a history of misogyny on this team before this incident. The culture in Spanish soccer is rotten to the core.

Completely agree - If lemmy.world doesn’t block very shortly I will move to a different instance.
