Hm. As soon as "it is glorious to become rich" became party policy, that ship sailed for me.

And the US Republican party is a Constitutionalist party that believes in elected representation with Madisonian checks and balances...

There's often a big gap between branding and reality.

Wait you're saying that the CCP is a Marxist organization?

Hang on let me get some coffee...

spit take

Very hot. Thanks for sharing.

I'm a bi woman, but am assuming that if you're into dudes you'd also have zero problem getting plenty of attention from that quarter as well.

We need people telling at them, and we need people politely approaching them with the same policies.

A game of good constituent/bad constituent, if you will.

My Democratic rep has had two town halls, huge feisty crowds for both.

Man y'all have clearly never eaten in Lyon...

No thanks, I'd like an actual progressive for once.

Ohhhh now this is actually pretty cool. I was disappointed they were doing it for MacOS, but I will definitely give it a try on Linux.

I like their search engine just fine.

They voted to censure Rep Tlaib for asking that the US stop helping to bomb her family members.

Democrats are fascists with a BLM sticker and a rainbow flag, and they're busy scraping off the rainbow flag.

They dropped their DEI policies and their initiative to buy from black owned businesses the instant trump was elected.

You're right to boycott Amazon too, obviously, but Target is also complicit.

I shopped there nearly exclusively because of what they had been doing. Now that they're embracing fascism, I'm not.

I used to do nearly all my shopping there because of the policies they got rid of. Cancelled my 360 membership, getting used to buying flour 25# at a time from Costco ...

EVs are easier to build than gas cars at least

Their sales have dropped by half since the US election.

There are plenty of videos of gasoline cars burning too. Turns out packing a shitload of energy into a small volume is dangerous.

8% drop in car sales isn't great but I think the article is overselling the idea that the company is straight up dying. (Sadly) Most people just don't make a connection between how they spend their money and the politics of the people they prop up.

Things change over time. What works on one generation may not work on the next whose minds were conditioned differently in their formative years.

I think propaganda still works as a concept, but Democrats are trying to brainwash people like it's the 1960s and Republicans are on the cutting edge of lying.

I'd compare it to, say, the Lutheran Church vs a modern megachurch. Same core absurd claim about heaven and whatnot, but the megachurch knows how to package it for the modem gull.

That's a girdle if I've ever seen one.
