One party deserves criticism for being insufficient. One party deserves nothing but scorn and opposition. (lemmy.world)

Politics aside, I get irrationally angry whenever I see people wear masks in that manner. I immediately think they eat crayons in their past time. I know it is a judgemental thing, but holy shit was it a frustrating, daily sight during covid and it made Mr sometimes question why the fuck I even bothered doing things the right way.

The best measure of how unelectable a politician is how much Lemmy likes them.

Real good effort, but it's missing a chunk of "what they actually do" that's not part of "what they say they want". And there's too much overlap between "what the donors want" and "literally just opposing fascism". Cuz at some point that would entail cooling it a bit with the neoliberal economics driving regular people into misery for slightly better profits.

Oh I'm sure they'll listen to them right up until the point where they find another member of the Clinton family that hasn't had their turn yet.

"But what if we compromised with them and our donors, and then compromised with the Republicans, and then put on our shocked pikachu face when the Republicans don't compromise with us in turn???"

Legit, the second half of the problem is related to our gerontocracy. These fucking dinosaurs are still acting like it's the 1970s and 1980s, when they first came to power.
