Is Fox news unironically the best place to learn about your new favorite social dem?

The right: Birth rates are declining!

The right when they see no cost child care brought up: Socialism bad!

I believe that this is part of the Christian dogmatic pipeline. If you require social services, check your closest church. And of course you will need to be a member in good standing to keep access... Etc

It's also convenient that churches tend to be de facto segregated by race. We're not racist, we just setup institutions that happen to work in racist ways.

I love how "socialism" is a smear in a country that has "e pluribus unum" on its money. Unum, only up to a point, I guess.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

It's ok. They've trained their monkeys to hate objectively good things.

$30 minimum wage and two parent households might be able to raise their child themselves

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 2 points 38 minutes ago

That’s it. That’s the campaign ad.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

Ok, so these are the promises. Now actually... you know...

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 points 43 minutes ago

USD$30 is a pretty good minimum wage. That's almost twice as much as I made at my first full-time job.

Free advertisement when you can get it right in their heads

Anyone taking bets yet on how long it will be before he gets "disappeared"?

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 minutes ago

He won't. But an insane amount of money is going to be poured on a smearing campaign and support of an independent candidate, because to ultra-wealthy dems donors, better a Republican than a socialist.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 19 minutes ago

I bet it won't happen, or at least not until 2030. A perpetual "this person won't vanish" is really difficult to say with confidence.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 11 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Hey Foxies, how would you like to have an easier life?

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 4 points 1 hour ago

"No way. It's only fair if everyone has as miserable of a life as I have!"

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Imagine painting no cost childcare and $30 minimum wage as something bad. Ugh. Those poor rich people are gonna be slightly less rich!

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I don't think rich people will be slightly less rich.

Free child care is a no-brainer. More people working, more productivity, more taxes, et cetera.

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 3 points 55 minutes ago

Yeah but that's in the future! They want their quarterly profits to looks good NOW.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Free child care might inspire adults to have more kids. Even more people working, more productivity, etc.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 6 points 2 hours ago

We are not doing common sense approaches to fertility. We are only restricting things and then acting surprised when it backfires. Kind of like Russia is doing. Odd.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's not fair! Poor people get all the breaks!

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

hypothetically anyway

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 109 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

TFW your government literally just hooked a brain dead pregnant woman up to life support against the wishes of her family, to force her to give birth, but somehow tries to paint political promises of baby baskets for newborns as dystopian nightmare fuel.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 30 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Wasn't the baby just delivered a few days ago, very premature? Wasn't it also known that it had hydrocephaly? (both things not very compatible with life)

Using a braindead woman and her braindead premature fetus as political football against the wishes of her family.

That's so evil it's a fucking cartoon. Like twirl your moustache, give an evil laugh, and then steal a blind person's cane while jaywalking.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 17 points 4 hours ago

And forced the family to pay for it all. Pure fucking evil.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 hours ago

Not sure about hydrocephalus, but it was delivered at the earliest point the hospital was willing to do. The chances of the baby surviving are low regardless of other complications like that.

I learned after, the mother was literally rotting on the table. This was only done because it was a black woman without the resources to fight back.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 78 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

It's amazing, all they need to do is write "socialist" and like Pavlov's dogs maga instantly react with no thought...

How to make maga hate anything: "it's socialism!"

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 1 points 26 minutes ago* (last edited 22 minutes ago)

Holy shit youre onto something. These socialist fucking billionaires and their socialist lap dog politicians are ruining this country.

God damn socialist police force and socialist immigration enforcers
