You mean why they didn't filibuster the one reconciliation bill on the senate which was literally the only chance they had to stop the administration?

Because the government does a lot of stuff, like say, feeding poor people, providing healthcare to seniors etc. And when the reconciliation bill came through, trump was still broadly popular.

So, what you're asking is for the Democrats to hurt a lot of people until the Republicans simply changed the rules to remove that obstacle, which they have the power to do.

So, I guess the better question is, exactly how did you expect the Dems to stop these things? Be specific.

That's literally the point. They are trying to goad the Left into screaming Hitler. When we do so, we generally sound hysterical to the centre and independents whom we need.

Donald wins when we're sputtering with rage.

If you've ever been a dick to a younger sibling so they freak out and get in trouble despite technically being in the right, you'll recognise the tactic.

Admittedly, the .ml works too. I just hate tarring everyone with the same brush but damned if y'all don't keep reinforcing the stereotype.

(No idea how a note only I can see is social credit but hey, what are facts to a fool?)

The point just wooshed right over your head eh?

This sounds like the NRA "yeah well people still kill each other with knives!" Like, yes, but the current technology has made the problem significantly worse.

Lemmy didn't have a system like that when I was using it. But yeah, it's super useful.

I just asserting that people generally had more down time in the past.

By using total instead of share. Which also means there is even a more gigantic number of people with more wealth and leisure than any point in human history.

Do you see why using total number is mind numbingly silly?

Posts like these make me so happy for piefed's note system so I now know never to engage with your ignorant ass.

I'm not sure about emissions per activity rankings but if you're concerned about the emissions from a post, but surely that means someone watching a 4k movie on netflix is akin to a warcrime?

Are you trolling?

The number of people living happily in luxury unimaginable to 99% of people who have ever lived is also FAR greater than at any time in human history.
