All fair points.

Sinema and Manchin could sit it out

Big problem. They are Republicans in Democrat clothes. They will, as they always do, find a reason to vote against

The other side of that coin is that if there is no demand for change, no one will be pressured to work out the logistics required. All change starts with people demanding a solution.

We need a solution right now more than we need a perfect plan of execution. The solution is being called for, to expand the Supreme Court to balance the blatant corruption pouring from the conservative justices. That’s the first step

Republicans’ stated goal is to change the entire structure and political system in America and the 6-3 ideologically Christian scotus has already begun ignoring the constitution.

This is the very definition of a constitutional and democratic crisis. If democrats don’t do something as the only other party with any power, republicans will make sure they no longer have the opportunity the first chance they get.

Now is really not the time for “both sides” logic to prevent democrats from acting.

Having some experts be paid shills while giving other experts the chance to actually legitimately affect change is not the same as handing every decision over to non-experts who incidentally just made defacto bribery legal for their positions.

Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

For the elderly folk who write and enforce the laws that caused this to come to pass, sufficiently advanced technology just means more complex than notepad

Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions

I meant it in jest only. Sorry about your phone, bro

I’m all for replacing the s at the beginning of words with z so you read it in an exaggerated German accent, but you gotta be consistent

Really hoping to zee a zurge in ze demand for “Anti-AI” zoftware/zervices/community

Fixed that for you there, Goebbels

Because prisons are for poor people. If it happens, he’ll end up in a “prison resort” that has all the amenities he wants on the technicality that he can’t leave.

It’s projection. Republicans control youth through their own cult of religion. They cut education so young people have a hard time realizing they’re being controlled.

They expect democrats are doing the same through pride and gay culture, that because those demographics tend to vote blue, it must be a political play to brainwash young people into voting blue.

It’s projection.

Every time something gets objectively worse there are always people who say “Jokes on them I don’t use that!” and miss the point.

Like yeah, we get it. It’s only a matter of time until this kind of bullshit reaches something you do use. You should still be bothered by this.

Those people are devoted to the letter R. Trump is living proof that you can actively try to be the most vile person alive and still get republican support.

Sotomayor: cries

The beauty of being here on lemmy is that I genuinely can’t tell whether you said this because you’re far right or because you’re far left

Stupid opinion either way. That Ai is going to catch its share of r/conservative idiots and be a nice blend of ignorance

Biden and Trump couldn’t collude on a place to order takeout

Well you see comrade, Russia had to invade Ukraine because .01% of their population are nazis and the east ukranians want to be Russian anyway and NATO is clearly provoking them and it’s going to be over in 5 days pinkie promise.

These are all things I’ve seen actual russians claim.

No you misunderstand. These laws are for poor people. The lawmakers will have their daughters flown up north to a state where they can still get one

This is incredibly disingenuous. The US might not be a true democracy, but it’s not an authoritarian regime. Xi and putin disappear people who have an opinion on whether they should be forever-rulers.

The fact that independent parties exist and hold seats at all three levels of government mean you are fundamentally wrong in saying there are only two choices.

The US is a flawed democracy. That’s still better than an authoritarian regime.

If only they actually would die on that hill. They won’t, because they’ve conditioned their base to support them no matter what. Instead, they’ll rot the hill and move on to the next once the one they’re on can’t be salvaged.
