The Dems just don’t know how to speak to people like Republicans do. They could do it. But they don’t.

Rather than speaking to peoples pain and anger, they try to lecture and teach. You need to talk to people where they are not where you want them to be.

Bernie does it. That’s why so many Trump supporters like him, when they don’t like the rest of the Dems.

It may be easier. But that’s not why.

If you avoid politicized language, a large majority of the US is quite left leaning, and economically progressive.

One of the Republicans favorite things to hate is the ACA (Obama Care). But if you ask them about the individual policies in the ACA, they approve of each of them by at least 2/3rds. And most agree that the government should prevent people from being forced into bankruptcy by medical expenses.

Class is also an Identity. One that most have in common.
Regardless of race, religion, sex, or gender; nearly all of us are working class.

So policies that help the working class, will help everyone. And those subclasses that are disproportionately held back, will be disproportionately helped by universal pro-worker policies.

If they’re using time travel to create a causality loop, that’s different than a time loop.

Time loops usually reset causality, accept for those actually experiencing the loop iterations.

I say no.

Time travel stories are about going to a different time.
Time loop stories are repeating the same time.
It’s really that simple.

Time loops are anti-time travel really, as there’s no movement in time at all.

Ruud is Dutch. FediDB says the server is in the US. So maybe we’re talking about two different things.

FediDB says it’s located in US.

Husba works for me

I think you mean progressives.

The issue there, is not having a progressive party to vote for.

The Democrats have been nearly as as tied to Neoliberal Capitalism as the Republicans. They only done the bare minimum to court progressives, so as to not upset the big donating ownership class.

But perhapse if they loose enough, they might catch on and start to embrace economic-populism.

I voted for them. But I can’t blame people who don’t. We’ve been ignored for decades now.

I think you’re missing Lemmy.world.
Easily the biggest, and US based.

API index access is an important difference.
If it was only that, without public facing ad driven search, I’d be more impressed.

Maybe if you removed the adds, and severely rate limited your own public facing search, so it’s more of a demo than an actual service. This would force you to solely make money off the API access, without directly competing against those customers.

That would be an honest buisness model. One that doesn’t turn users into eyeballs for advertising. Which seems to me, to be the most insidious problem of the modern internet.

Prince changed his name to a literally unpronounceable logo. So in that case, there was no real other option.

In that case Comcast is still the company name. Xfinity is just a branding of the consumer services division.

For all their talk of doing things different with their own index and rankings. Mojeek is following exactly what Google did. It’s still an ad based business model that makes users into products to be sold to advertisers. They’re good now, while still trying to build market share. But once their investors get hungry, the enshitification will commence.

I’d expect this would be the place.
That’s as far as I got since I’m not in PA.

Edit: I also found this PDF to mail in.

They convinced the FCC, cellular networks are different than wired, and should have different rules.

It’s literally the right community for any* question.

* Any question not pertaining to illegal, medical, or psychological advice. Or against any other rules.

Because her supporters don’t want her to look like a tough on crime ass hole.

And her haters want her to look like a soft on crime bleeding hearts leftie.

So nobody has incentive to push that narrative.

It’s the original instance, run by the main Lemmy creators.

I’m in the US.

I’ve never had a job tell us we can’t take our 15s. But most places keep staffing tight enough, and busy enough, that people feel guilty taking a 15 unless they have a real reason to.

Personally, I find them kind of frustrating. By the time I begin to calm down, it’s time to head back. It’s not even like a real break. Where I am now, 30min is auto deduced for lunch, so we take 45min lunches most of the time.
