Kamala reached out to Republican war criminal elites
You could just say Republicans. She reached out to the highest ranking Republicans with name recognition she could to have them speak to their base. The base that isn’t going to listen to her directly and will not care about no name republican politicians.
The point is she tried to get disenfranchised R voters to switch over, the same thing Bernie is doing. One gets upvoted the other gets crucified.
I’m glad he is doing this because i agree with this strategy, but can someone explain to me why the online political strategists (in this case lemmy) seem to approve Bernie reaching across the aisle but seem appalled when Kamala tried to do the same?
Because it’s BS. It’s glaringly fake and calls into question the rest of the claims of the post.
Housing prices aren’t even insane, especially outside of Tokyo. And the property prices don’t even go up. AND you can get 35 year housing loans at under 1% interest. The main reason housing prices have gone up at all is that construction materials cost have gone up due to inflation, Ukraine war, covid supply and demand issues.
No one dumb and selfish enough to vote for Trump will care about the suffering of people outside the US.

The judicial interprets, not “enforces”.
The executive doing their job wrong doesn’t change this.
My guy, you are right that this is taught in grade school civics class. But that isn’t the zing you think it is.
The legislative makes the law The judicial interprets the law The executive enforces the law
Judges can’t enforce anything. They need people from the executive side to do the enforcing.
You keep repeating the same misinformation throughout this post and are getting the down votes for it.
So it’s a valid question to ask why all of the current fuckery has not translated into market chaos.
My reply addresses this with your 2nd point. What I’m trying to say is that maybe the market did factor in the fuckery and has so far believed it to be a nothing burger.
Everyone could be wrong, of course, but so far that is what the markets indicates. So naturally the follow up questions should be, are the markets wrong? Or am I (OP) consuming too much media from my bubble which is overexaggerating the doom and gloom?
You kind of get it with your own answer but are refusing to see it.
Why hasn’t the market dropped yet with all the fuckery going on in DC? Because the impact of said fuckery has not occurred yet. Let this be a chance for some awareness of your own personal information bubble and possible over doom scrolling.
This is not saying this administration isn’t going to cause some terrible shit. It just hasn’t stuck yet. Nothing the administration has done has prevented Microsoft or Google or Netflix from collecting their subscription fees. The closest thing so far has been tariffs that came and went.
The third option is making a deal with the EU and continue fighting.
You think Google, Meta, and all those silicon valley companies in CALIFORNIA are going to stop hiring Indian and Asian engineers because they don’t have an official DEI policy anymore? Really? Do you even know who Google’s CEO is?
Unpopular opinion, but a company removing their DEI policies as to not pick a legal battle with the US government is not the problem, assuming their actual hiring practices are not really changing. If Google from now on only hired straight, white people, it would be detrimental to them for missing out on a huge pool of talent and they know this. If all they are doing is removing diversity requirements from writing and canceling black history month pizza parties (which face it no one really cares about celebrating culture at the workplace), then essentially nothing has changed and they can roll all this back in 4 years.
… on the other hand, Apple advertising on X is coward shit. 💩
It’s easy to say, but the author and his colleagues are not in a position to just “stop complying”.
We don’t know the author’s exact work. It could just be administrative or something that wound not make sense to be worked on if they aren’t delivering anything.
I’m not sure what work you expect then to do if their bosses are complying. If they are expected to be watch dogs, but the part of the organization that enforces the rules simply won’t enforce them, then what do you want to be done? Send stern warnings to rule breakers knowing it’s pointless?
It’s a shitty situation that needs to be solved elsewhere.
Somewhat preferable to the alternative
You’re being purposely dishonest when you argue that the issues of the US 50 years ago are the same as they are today. Inflation isn’t something that goes away. It’s a necessity in for a growing economy. Abortion is politically still here but views on sexuality and women are not the same as it was 50 years ago.
Our issues are bad and still probably get worse before they get better but I still would not trade places with China. As I said it’s easier when you are still a developing nation but their issues are not something you’d envy.
They have a real estate problem that can end their economy, a gender disparity due to their 1 child policy that will leave generations of men without any hopes of finding a partner, and they still get to deal with the same education inflation problem that exists everywhere: all children spending their whole lives studying to get into the few good universities but without that good job waiting for them.
Vietnam is still developing so there is a lot of room for growth, but China already has a mountain of issues bubbling under the surface.
How well do you think your comment will age in 3 to 5 years?
It’s not that relevant if, prior to the man performing multiple nazi salutes, we already knew he was a full blown fascist.
It is the Russian way
