  • "I just don’t think this is the time to overhaul the whole system"

    how do you contend encouraging political stability overhauling the system?

    "the first priority should be to steady the ship.

    steadying the ship is literally what this protest is about, providing stability while the executive branch is trying to conquer and invalidate the judicial and legislative.branches.

    "You can’t fix things if you’re just struggling to stay afloat."

    yes you can. That's what SOS calls, bilge pumps, pontoons, tar, patches and welds are for, to fix problens on boats.

    you're advocating to give up and sink when you can repair things.

    ridiculous.

    "Fixing things requires a certain level of stability."

    the necessary level of stability is far below what you clearly misunderstand.

    We have that stability, what we need is political, legal and judicial actions liked the ones happening every day now fighting against the executive branch.

    The literal nationwide protests by tens of thousands of citizens, judges, politicians and lawyers constitute that saving grace.

  • two parties do not constitute a political whole.

    having only two parties in a democracy is a sign of weakness and sickness in the political system.

    political parties representing people are not "fractures".

  • The public gets things wrong, that's why it's important to set the record straight rather than serve up pablum.

    "The whole point of eroding civil rights is to help billionaires..."

    claiming an absolute regarding complex and differentiated issues is how you know something is pablum.

    The long-term conservative judicial and legislative campaign the meme incorrectly refers to has a lot to do with race and religion, for example.

    "Always has been".

    this is just a line from a short-sighted meme that is often incorrectly used, including here by you. it's a fun phrase that means nothing, it's confetti stuck in your sock.

  • I'm not sure where these questions are coming from, there are tens of thousands of people conducting dozens of protests across every single state at every level of government, and multiple stories about those protests in this feed.

    there's absolutely some media suppression since Trump is friends with the owners of some media outlets, but there is also a lot of media documenting the literally Nationwide protests.

    there's a super popular post like a few tiles up about the dozens of ongoing Tesla protests going on that are tanking the company.

  • me too on boost!

    boost was the only way i used reddit, nothing else came close.

    I can't tell what's different in the implementation here, but it does not click.

    jerboa for lemmy is the closest to the simplicity I enjoyed in boost for reddit, and I do think summit merits another look in a month or two

  • the dev seems very dedicated, that's why I'll give summit another try later. quick links don't work yet, not all the setting toggles l are functionally tied yet to the features. there are also several tiny post/link/layout issues that I notice but don't have to deal with on jerboa.

    I'm interested to see where summit goes, it is the only other lemmy client I used for more than a couple hours.
