I know that’s why I thought it was funny! Got to find the humor in this mess right now. Hoping we can right the ship but right now Trump is steering us into an ice berg full speed ahead

Regular people are dumb af they elected that orange shit stain while he spit in our faces.

So I’m not really confident they’re gonna connect any dots.

Funny you think they’re going to actually pay down the debt.

That article is really fuzzing up the definition of “poop,” I’d argue over half those entries are just how the thing poops weirdly. I guess if you get into semantics it may be technically true but I just consider pooping to be eliminating bodily waste so to me that whole article is like, “look how oddly these things poop.” 😅

Humans won’t ever go extinct save some absolute batshit scenario that wipes the world completely clean of all life, give or take.

We’re too resourceful and we like fucking too much for humans to go extinct but it could be a pretty bleak existence for the human race at some point.

These fucking Democrats are watching a dude successfully lie and bully his way into the presidency (not to mention that same playbook get adopted by the GOP in general) then think the answer is to be nice?

Newsflash, the voters on the other side aren’t going to be swayed by a “broadly appealing message,” I’d say an insignificant number of people could even be swayed to switch voting from the GOP / MAGA bastards over to the Dem sonofabitches anyways. So galvanized the troops, motivate people to vote and stop pussyfooting around.

Adopt the playbook that keeps working for your enemy, tweak it some sure, but stop thinking a milquetoast “we’re the nice guys” campaign will ever work. It’s failed so many times now, maybe learn a lesson?

Maybe in our lifetime we will see an expansion of Medicare to be a single payer system for all Americans as a publicly available option (ie: the minimum standards other insurance would need to meet to be competitive).

That would be nice. Idk I’m just hopeful in like 25 years we may see some real change ushered in when it comes to that. Probably very naively hopeful but I have to at least occasionally believe in a better future.

This is Lemmy, we’re all yelling into the void here good fellow.

“oh the people who won’t do anything will keep doing nothing”

Oh shit whatever will I do with their feelings being hurt. Poor little fee fees. Fuck the people that sat out or protest voted or were dumb enough to pretend Trump actually would help bring peace anywhere much less to Palestine.

What are they going to do, be upset that they have to hear the truth?

Bro what, am I reading this wrong or is your premise that NPR doesn’t provide a service?

Because they absolutely do.
