      Agreed. The leadership and the people they surround themselves with are just shit people who have forgotten that corporations aren’t people.

      Even in a issue that all Americans can actually agree suck ass, they can’t help themselves in aligning themselves with corporations. Even a winning position, they salivate and whore themselves to corporate money.

      Donate to progressives and vote them out, that’s been my plan for almost two decades now

        I’m terrified that the larger fascist movement will decide data centers and Flock are expendable and fully adopt these popular positions because Democrats refuse to do so. Or worse, realize they can just lie about it and then do nothing to hurt their corporate friends.

        These are easy political wins. Fuck the opposition money, just adopt the position with 70%+ political support and regular people activated enough to go shout at their local reps about it. Having the position people are passionate about is worth more and it’s just sitting there waiting for someone to claim it.

        that’s been my plan for almost two decades now

        And in two decades, how much good has that done?

        Maybe it time to try a new strategy.

    Democratic consultants are privately encouraging their battleground candidates to avoid talking about artificial intelligence regulations out of fear that powerful tech groups will unleash a tidal wave of spending against them ahead of November.

    Just normal things in a healthy, functioning democracy.

      They’re probably the same people who consulted in 2024 to work with the GOP and avoid Gaza. Consultants are literally the worst part of the party.

      The fact that money wins elections in the US, combined with the fact that fewer people have more of the money… It’s a bad combination.

      Holding your nose and doing it I can almost forgive, since there is literally billions of dollars being spent on propaganda to convince people that what you said is true.

      Being proud of co-signing on genocide, mass incarceration, and Neoliberal Austerity marks you as the kind of sociopath who’d be happily chanting for Trump if you’d grown up in a different part of the country.
