Good fucking riddance.

P.S. Their business would still have to pay taxes in NY if they want to operate there.

LLM wouldn’t have made a typo, it’s in the name “Large Language Model”.

You forgot, those guys are fired now.

Probably because Acting head of FEMA said he wasn’t aware U.S. has a hurricane season, sources say, so they are confused.

You clearly have no understanding of what centrist means. Neither of them represent the middle of the country. Even going by party affiliation and definition used by US corporate media, the center of two right wing parties is still right wing.

You calling Kristen Sinema and Joe Manchin “centrists” just shows you have no idea what you are talking about. They are 100% corporate Democrats who took millions from oil or pharmaceuticals lobby to kill bills that were unfairable to them. Hence Build Back Better and Medicaid prescription drug negotionations being neutered into nothing. But you continue living in your denial bubble.

John Fetterman voted with Republicans more than he voted with Democrats. He’s a a simple sellout to a foreign country and primarify funded by The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). He should be treated as a traitor.

I and 70%+ of the country prefer Tim Walz style rural vision.

With a 1 seat majority in Minnesota he did:

• universal free school meals
• legal weed
• carbon free electricity by 2040
• tax rebates for the working class up to $1,300 (making under $150k per year)
• 12 weeks paid family leave
• 12 weeks paid sick leave
• banned conversion therapy
• red flag laws for guns
• universal background checks for guns
• automatic voter registration
• free public college (under $80k)
• ban on PFAS (forever chemicals)
• $2.2 billion increase in k-12 school funding
• sectoral bargaining for nursing home worker

That’s the point. It was happening under Tories and continues to happen under Labour. Either way, you seem to be very invested in supporting them as an outsider.

I don’t think UK is progressing. To be honest it seems to be regressing these days. Each new day it’s becoming more and more a police state with secret policing and surveilance powers being passed.

They are not getting paid anything in this case. Usually they get paid by the state when doing work there, but since they were federalized they are under federal juridistion now and won’t get paid by the state for deployment. And Trump isn’t providing federal funds, hence them sleeping on the floor, having to pay for food themselves, using their own equipment.

VFX artists are only group that I seen praising this. As for them it can replace full motion capture suits that costs thousands.

Great admin team, public finances, reasonable rules, good defederation policy, data is hosted in the EU.

lemmy.zip would be my recommendation.

Ha. They thought about it. Federal laws forbid it in many cases. Everything is fucked by design.

It looks like US war tactics are coming to home. Scenes like this looks exactly the same as those of US military deployed abroad.

They already have thousands of Democratic party mouth pieces that repeat their talking points endlessly. Fundamental issue with this quest is that their policies don’t resonate with people, so unless they change the policies they will never have “Liberal Joe Rogan”.

Sirota:

Liberals are offended by Trump’s lack of manners in pulling off extreme versions of what their own party icons have done, but many Americans seem to cherish the Joker-like quality of Trump’s antics. They seem to appreciate that — unlike establishment Democrats — Trump at least doesn’t use a dog whistle to trick anyone. He uses a bullhorn to proudly broadcast and brag about his malfeasance — all while offering a captivating and distracting culture war along the way.

Swinging these disillusioned voters away from the authoritarian right is an imperative — not for saving the Democrats, but for saving the country. And yet right now, these voters are being offered only conservatives’ MAGA circus or liberals’ Davos cocktail party.

We literally just tried avoiding the culture war to convert conservatives and the centrists and Sirota won’t let that stop them from saying the problem is all that wokeness. Fuck them all.

That’s not how I read that in the context of the rest of the article. Maybe it’s me, but I feel like you try to fit this article into the “centrists” framing when it’s not about that. The article is about offering alternative to Trump fake anti-establishment talk with a real policy based anti-establishemnt movement. It’s promoting everything that corporate (aka centrists) Democrats doesn’t stand for.

Now you’re saying it’s about not having platitudes as the platform, not just not saying them? And this somehow is not engaging in the culture war?

I’m consistent. “<…> offer useless platitudes of “I support x minority” and then do nothing to help them <…>” is not the same as saying you support someone for the sake of saying to gain political capital. And it’s not his platform. His platform is about working people. It might have some policies that are targeted, but the goals are the same. To help all working people to have a better life.

There is a good quote from Sanders in this article that highlights this.

“You get to what we call identity politics (which is) you’re Black you’re wonderful, you’re tremendous, you’re gay you’re the greatest human being on Earth, rather than saying what do you stand for?” Sanders said recently. “You’re gay, that’s fine, who cares. . . . The issue is, what you stand for, which gets you back (to) class politics in the sense of which side are you on? Are you going to stand with working families?”

Sirota doesn’t seem to want either, because we have to peel off MAGA voters and Trump likes to play to racism.

Kamala Harris tried to peel of MAGA voters, how did that worked out for her? His whole post is about the focus being around anti-capitalism and elite establishment which resonates to more people than there are in the MAGA cult. You can’t reach cult members, but you have millions upon millions of people that can be easily reached with good working class focused platform.

Please show me where his platform lists platitudes instead of concrete actions.

That’s not how I read it. I read it as don’t offer useless platitudes of “I support x minority” and then do nothing to help them, but instead improve their and everyone else material living conditions.

Look at the most popular politician in the US Bernie Sanders. He doesn’t focus on platitudes instead offers real solutions to working class people problems and he is supported by all minority groups because of it. That doesn’t mean he won’t defend those minorities when they are atacked, but he doesn’t make it his platform.
