Leftism

Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

MODERATORS
For a second there, I thought this community was called "tribalism" then had to double check that it wasn't "neoliberalism".
The democrats give us just enough human decency to prevent us from waking up en masse and revolting and you libs to eat it up and start a change.org petition to canonize them.

Walz is kind of a chad, actually
Absolutely. Have you heard him speak!? He's intelligent, empathetic, and down-to-earth.
He's the one who started saying shit is weird. I'm all about the former Highschool coach and teacher bringing his unique approach to Republicans childish bullshit

Republicans are so despicably wretched, odiously rotten and weird.
That child on the right is just like, “Fuck you, hoe; you just stole my childhood”
The kids in that photo are not the ones that will be working in factories at 12. She's just deeply uncharismatic to the point of being inhuman.
SHS looks like a lizard person.
She's doing that thing where the mouth smiles weirdly hard but the eyes don't smile at all.

Don’t forget to pay your taxes, children!
And another important reminder:
What's the Y axis for the middle graph? Also only having 3 data points in such a brief window doesn't really say much. Finally the grouping metric of "won majority of presidential elections from 2000 to 2020" isn't clear and isn't necessarily reflexive of policy. A more appropriate metric might be the party of the governor or the majority parties of their chambers.
I think the y-axis shows number of kids.
I agree with what you're saying though—3 points does not make a compelling statement. I also agree that a better metric probably exists than what was posted. I'd add on and would like to know what the error bands represent—standard error, confidence intervals, or something else?
Number of kids per what? If it's just number of kids total that is such an astonishingly low number and a meaningless distinction between governance. Assuming a total average of 12 victims per state and US child population of 73.4 million that amounts to 0.0000082% being abused.
Given the other graphs, you can probably assume per 100,000, but it would be nice if they were consistent.
