my grandfather was that told that same story his whole childhood and he repeated it his son who repeated it to me and am not repeating it to my kids

instantaneous progress does not always happen but in hundred years something should be getting done not reversing

Democrats have averted progress in lieu of not being instantaneous and it is a complete load of horse shit kind of excuse

Harris no longer supports measures from her short-lived 2020 presidential bid such as a fracking ban or Medicare for All, advisers told Reuters. Not all of the elements of Harris’ economic agenda will make it to the Friday speech, a draft of which is still in the works. Her campaign said it wanted to avoid dividing voters and attracting attacks from business groups over granular details, and will be “strategically ambiguous” in areas such as energy.

looks like we are just getting another lame duck democrat with a watered-down plan that does nothing in the end for the US people

we still need the minimum wage raised for everybody too but democrats think raising it just for the federal workers somehow translates to all people and we need universal healthcare

another wasted four years we could be fixing shit here we go again

goodbye progress

and no one holds the Democrats liable for doing nothing because it is all the Republicans fault

you can already hear the next repeat election

the Ukraine and Russia situation is definitely a linux gaming thing too

there are coders in Russia that make great proton tools for running games with it without steam and the other day someone was posting about gpu files also on here so though this was in the same vein

intricately linked tetris for fucks sake Russia has been on the nonwindows gaming scene for a while

list goes on

impossible to build a linux gaming computer at this point in time without GitHub

was in the middle of doing so when it went down

not that important showboating a career that has produced nothing for the US people

was on shaky ground for fifty years because it was never put into law or properly defended

Democrats never got a true hard on for codifying Roe v. Wade

just say whatever it takes to get donations and votes

misunderstood

blaming Biden for being a lame duck politician for half a century who did not do anything to advance progress

During Clarence Thomas's nomination hearings in 1991, Biden's questions on constitutional issues were often convoluted to the point that Thomas sometimes lost track of them,[115] and Thomas later wrote that Biden's questions were akin to "beanballs".[116] After the committee hearing closed, the public learned that Anita Hill, a University of Oklahoma law school professor, had accused Thomas of making unwelcome sexual comments when they had worked together.[117][118] Biden had known of some of these charges, but initially shared them only with the committee because Hill was then unwilling to testify.[16] The committee hearing was reopened and Hill testified, but Biden did not permit testimony from other witnesses, such as a woman who had made similar charges and experts on harassment.[119] The full Senate confirmed Thomas by a 52–48 vote, with Biden opposed.[16] Liberal legal advocates and women's groups felt strongly that Biden had mishandled the hearings and not done enough to support Hill.[119] In 2019, he told Hill he regretted his treatment of her, but Hill said afterward she remained unsatisfied.[120]

During his early years in the Senate, Biden focused on consumer protection and environmental issues and called for greater government accountability.[82] In a 1974 interview, he described himself as liberal on civil rights and liberties, senior citizens' concerns and healthcare, but conservative on other issues, including abortion and military conscription.[83]

Biden is the same now as he has always been

when has he ever tried to defend women's rights

justice delayed is justice denied

Biden has not even been a strong supporter of raising the minimum wage and just giving some lip service to it is a slap in the face to US people

last time workers demanded better he squashed it by threatening workers with their livelihoods

because there are not any actual proposals or plans other than some small things that sound good on paper but does little to fix anything such as raising the minimum wage or increasing worker's rights

but a low minimum wage and less worker's rights are good for who owns the manufacturing

adds job numbers and lowers unemployment too see Biden's economic plan

and it does not make companies pay the phone staff a living wage either furthering the problem

this all just show for the election with no plan to carry through

I know that we are the left. And shooting ourselves in the foot is one of our greatest pastimes. But it’s getting really really hard. Because we’ve got so little foot left. And we only had a left foot to begin with.

have you seen or read about what is going on over there?

way more than a bullet in a foot we are talking about

talking mass casualty no business for its existence kind of weaponry like on Ratchet and Clank

imagine your kids getting killed or family getting charred as all fuck and all anyone could say to you was

"Well we not even able to voice opposition to our leaders because that would shoot ourselves in the foot BY GOD! MURICA!"

wow the comments here

people acting democratic and using protest to voice their opinion are deemed as nondemocratic

whole point of a democracy is that everyone get a voice too bad the US forgot this
