The democratic party is a coalition. It has wings that range from progressive to conservative. The reason they play it safe is because candidates need to be palatable to enough of the constituents to pass their primaries. This is also why local democratic parties are much more likely to have more cohesion.
This is a prediction.
What’s Pomodoro?
Abstentionists be like “we did it! we saved Gaza!”
Abstentionists are dumbasses.
This is the saddest, most insular cope I’ve read all day.
A little, yeah, oddly enough.
Things I’ve learned: the people in this community hate bluesky on principle, their principles are insular and toxic, and they can’t read.
This is why people aren’t going to mastadon more than Bluesky; because y’all’re insufferable. I made the comment in context of the post, so why would you ignore it?
I once read a report on animal psychology about a gorilla who was trained in sign language.
One day, the Gorilla ripped a sink out of the wall. When the researchers asked how it happened the Gorilla blamed their pet kitten.
The conclusion was that Gorillas were fundamentally worse at theory of mind and deception than humans. However I believe recent evidence may overturn this paradigm.

The fact that you or anyone thinks that matters is part of the problem. Not every federated site needs to be federated with every other federated site. That’s half the point of federation.
Snubbing bluesky is a great way to get people to not take you seriously. When you’re making a recruitment thing like this you need to remember you’re trying to draw in people who don’t fully agree with you.
I’m sure all we need is enough class consciousness and gumption so our direct action can stop the fascist regime from implementing imperialism.
No, I care about meaning. The problem is there’s lots of people who argue about words and ignore the meaning.
Like calling me a “liberal” wtf does that mean? You don’t know a damn thing about me. But I’m a “liberal”.
The thing you said doesn’t mean anything. They’re empty words. “social democracy is a liberal doctrine” is an utterance empty of content.
Did you forget how all the MLs were rooting for Putin and performing apologetics about how Russia had “national trauma from its interactions with the west”? (actual quote, btw.) They pointed out how there were some factions in the military that were antisemitic and ignored the openly fascist policies of the Kremlin.
Arguing about words is stupid.
If anyone disagrees:
Kronstadt
Spanish Civil War
Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact
The War in Ukraine
Etc.
Usually I assume they’re tankies DVing me b/c I said something true that’s inconvenient for them.
Okay, so I had a personal project for a long time that addressed the potential for an algebra that allowed for the multipicitive inverse of the additive identity.
In the context of the resulting non-associative algebra, 0/0=1, rather than 0.
For anyone wondering, the foundation goes as such: Ω0=1, Ωx=ΩΩ=Ω, x+Ω=Ω, Ω-Ω=Ω+Ω=0.
A fun consequence of this is the exponential function exp(x)=Σ((x^n)/n!) diverges at exp(Ω). Specifically you can reduce it to Σ(Ω), which when you try to evaluate it, you find that it evaluates to either 0 or Ω. This is particularly fitting, because e^x has a divergent limit at infinity. Specially, it approaches infinity when going towards the positive end and it approaches 0 when approaching the negative.
There’s more cool things you can do with that, but I’ll leave it there for now.
