Republicans: Yeah, sure. But the idea is to make that happen when we're dead. If it happens.

    I've seen a few videos lately where a committee is dressing down those responsible. Are lawmakers just now starting to put pressure on or is it just tHe AlGoriThM

    No algorithm in the fediverse! (Very basic “algorithms” at most)

    The Algorithm™ on lemmy is posters reposting things they've seen elsewhere that was provided by that platform's algorithm.

    All the things I repost from other sources are scraped using ethical practices, organically hand picked, and packaged for archival and public discussion on the Fediverse.

    The only traces of an algorithm that might linger, is that I sort from date posted. And then I try to verify the place and date of the recording happened. I post the source for transparency.

    If you don't like that, I'm open to suggestion, or just block me.

    It's really just legislators getting content in for their socials.

    It's the Mamdanis and Platners and Khannas of the world who have the balls to do something real, and they are far too few and no way in hell any of them ever sniff the presidency.

    Maybe.

    I'd doubt it.

    The US, historically, isn't particularly good at holding people accountable. I would like to think that we'll go full post-WWII France and prosecute (and hang) tens of thousands of these bastards, but more likely we'll get a conciliatory Obama type who says some dumb shit like: "We need to move on as a country," and moving on means letting the American Nazis go, just like how no one involved in engineering the illegal invasion of Iraq and the fake WMD's ever got meaningfully held accountable. (And one was awarded a Medal of Freedom.)

    Really Delia? How many people went to jail for Kent State and UNM in 1970?
