politics @lemmy.world•‘I call the shots:’ Trump says Netanyahu will have ‘no choice’ but to accept whatever deal US makes with Iran - i24NEWS
24·12 hours agoPeople who call the shots usually don’t have to go around telling people that they call the shots.
The simply do the thing.
We needed a coalition of voters to stop Trump. Excusing Dems and blaming voters destroys our ability to build that coalition. People who do that are wreckers. So stop being a wrecker. If you have this opinion and want to blame voters, fine, but keep it entirely to yourself.
The infinitesimal power of the vote.
Ahh the neoliberal “its the voters who are the problem” fever dream, where Democrats can never fail, they can only be failed by voters.
A fever dream which has resulted in the Democratic party having a lower approval rating than Trump. Surely defending Democrats as an institution and blaming voters will gather more people to your coalition and help stop Trump.
You gotta get it through your head homie. You blaming voters for the failures of the Democrats: Its why Trump won in both 16 and 24. You’re the problem if you take issue with how voters vote.
to have any effect if it has any effect at all.

politics @lemmy.world•Mainers Donate to and Rally With Platner After Reporting on Past Relationships | Common Dreams
41·1 day agoYeah well. That person equals Buittegeig and no one will fucking vote for their arses because they’re an utter fraud and it’s fucking obvious.
There’s a point being made about how real people with real fucking lives get excluded from being able to engage in politics because their lives didn’t go the right way to fit into a consultants wet dream of what a candidate should look like.
It’s a weird and interesting form of what-about-ism I’m happy to engage with because I do find it uniquely interesting.
As an aside. I think Maine has a firm of state wide mental disorder that make our and largely all of ours conversation utterly irrelevant, but fine to have at it regardless. I do think Maine has state wide oppositional defiance disorder and they just mostly do the thing that the majority of people are telling them not to do.
Like if you want some one with no sexual past your basically saying only the worst neoliberals are allowed to run for office. So anyone doing the thing right now, this will be the statute I evaluate against

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Tesla Insiders Admit Self-Driving Is a Complete Disaster
132·1 day agoEdited for clarity. I mean that nothing about Tesla’s valuation makes sense without them being first to market with self driving, and also some time/ runway to have first mover advantage. Its a valuation famously detached from reality.
And they aren’t. From what I’ve heard their self-driving is bogus, which is also the target of the article.
