Sanders and Warren push Democrats to fight for workers and ‘unrig’ economy
  • We certainly agree on the broad strokes. I think part of the allure of the MAGA messaging was that it was often shared by a highly approachable racist that people were already comfortable with, so the political bits could just sorta be sprinkled in as needed alongside other ideas that people already agreed with.

  • Idk, Harris vastly outraised Trump (over $1B in 3 months) and it... didn't move the needle.

    Progressives need to distill their ideas down into smart, easily repeated ideas (Billionaire bad, union good) that can spread via social media, aren't inflammatory (defund the police, etc), and aren't based on fear and loathing but rather a message of hope.

  • National polling isn't the same as a poll designed to predict the popular vote. Biden won in 2020 by 7 MILLION votes. Even Clinton beat Trump by nearly 3 million votes. The popular vote and the election results are decided by completely different factors, pollsters aren't soliciting people outside of swing states right now because nobody gives a fuck what a random Californian or Missourian thinks at the moment.

  • I think it is funny when I hear Trump warning about the violent liberal Marxists that are coming for us if the Dems win, because if the people on Lemmy.ml weren't Russian trolls, they'd be the people he's talking about. 😂

  • My brother in Christ, YOU asked ME what app I used. What response were you expecting from, "miss me with that horseshit"? Something along the lines of, "Oh, sorry Mr. Godric, sir. I'll start using a privacy respecting front-end right away!"???

    While your threat model might have you terrified of the idea that your Lemmy app might be sharing data about you, I do not share that fear. I also have Connect on my device. I like the interface of Boost better, and use it more. Boost has no device permissions, and I haven't donated so they don't have financial info. Otherwise, the dev collects crash logs and usage data? I mean, c'mon bro, take a chill pill.

    I'm thrilled to hear that you've found an app that you like - and that it already has the functionality you're looking for. What I fail to understand is the superiority complex because you use an app that collects less data.

  • I prefer to digest text too, but still would choose to taste a meal than read a typed up printout of the flavors it contains.

    If I showed up at a restaurant and was presented with a menu that didn't describe anything about the dishes on offer, I'd be pretty disappointed.

    Point being that we have limited time and a nearly limitless amount of options for how to spend it. Text summaries are a tool we can use to decide whether something is worth our time (and money) investment if we're on the fence about it.

    US Federal Reserve Cuts Interest Rates By Half a Point

    I was expecting a conservative quarter point reduction, but it seems like the Fed is feeling bullish about inflation and concerned with the labor market, which has cooled much faster than was previously predicted.

    What do you think? Will this move come with the positive effects while keeping inflation below 3%?

    US employers added a surprisingly robust 303,000 jobs in March in a sign of economic strength

    >Friday’s report from the Labor Department also showed that the unemployment rate dipped to 3.8% from 3.9% in February. That rate has now come in below 4% for 26 straight months, the longest such streak since the 1960s.
