Yeah, I mostly agree. I don't think it's necessarily malicious or selfish. I think they're just used to their job and don't realize how big it's gotten. They don't step back and look at how there are so few people around to fix this shit and it's on THEM to manage it. They needed to step up, and they haven't really.
Some people just want to rail against establishment Dems at all available opportunities. They want to turn people against those Dems more than they want to turn them against Republicans, intentional or otherwise.
I also have issues with the establishment Dems, but not like that. I'm pretty infuriated by Jefferies declaring that now is the time to play nice.
But this article saying Chucky Schumer crafted this possibility is interesting. The establishment Dems aren't all bad. They're not the worst allies. They're just more interested in following us than leading us based on real convictions. We can use that.

Yes, if they had known there would be a nationwide 13+ point shift, maybe they could have allocated resources a little better.
Or not. Hard to argue they should have done things differently with this result. I mean, yeah, I feel it too. There are races that just needed a little more to get over the line, but I don't think we should have expected those races to be in Mississippi and the Florida Senate (and we're probably winning Mississippi).
And tell him Obama couldn't get it done.
His "come together" speech was incredibly tone deaf right as voters just loudly said the opposite.
People are tired of 70 and 80 year olds running everything.
He's had his time. It was mediocre at best. He should give it up to someone with more energy to represent us.
I do. It takes a special kind of dumb to do this much damage to the country. Where's he gonna go when he's done?
I don't trust Vance, but all I really know about him is that he'll lie for power. He could turn out to be relatively fine.
Yes, but taking that risk is better than two more years of trump.
I actually appreciate that Lemmy runs out faster than Reddit did. I use top six hours and generally don't need to go deeper than a few dozen posts (skipping most of course).
If you run an instance, who voted how is federated to you.
Anyone can run an instance. Someone who has access to that info can share it with you.
It's very simple. Buy your domain for the next ten years for under $200. Then find an email provider where you can bring your own domain. Namecheap has always been good to me. Maybe also Hetzner in Germany?
Hetzner provides email with their cheapest webhosting package at €1.60 a month.
Namecheap is a little more pricey than I expected. You pay $89.28/2 years with a promo code - Renews for $143.76/2 years
Hilarious. What a shitbag.
That's what H1B's are for.
