Uni administration: "I don't understand how we could just move our money to literally any of the other investments we have."

Protesters: "Here's how."

Uni administration: "Fuck off."

Nah, just an old NCD post I had kicking around

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life

True equality is equal access to all areas, for better and worse.

The soda war?

Christ. Do you lot even try?

My point's just that he has the duty, not that I expect him to execute it.

You’re fucking melodramatic, aren’t you?

lol

Are we going to change that by telling them to stop being apathetic/ignorant and that fascism is bad? Because that seems to have been the primary strategy the Dems have run over the last decade and the only time it’s worked for them was when the effects of Trump’s incompetence was unavoidably present in the minds of Americans. I’d rather we not depend on another catastrophe to win the next election, assuming we will have one.

No, the solution is much deeper and more multifaceted. The Dems have the approximate strategic competence of a walnut.

At the same time, the toxic positivity of 'agree to disagree' that has become increasingly present even through the radicalization of the right since the 1990s has allowed many people to entirely detach their increasingly fascist political choices from their social lives, and this must be reversed. The fact that many here on Lemmy seem hell-bent on playing apologist for allowing fascism makes the message particularly important to be said here - we are all responsible for our choices, our choices have moral implications, and we live with those choices forever. There is no washing your hands of your deeds, there is no sitting out and playing innocent. This is not (yet) a despotism; in a republic, citizens have political power, and with that political power, responsibility for what they do or do not do with it.

No. You’re mad because people didn’t like your choice, and more people liked the other choice. But that’s what a democracy is. Nobody working in good faith promised you that democracy would always live up to the greatest human rights and global trade ideals.

So now you're reversing your position, and admitting that it is a democracy. Great. Peak consistency. Fucking ridiculous.

Do you have suggestions? Or just complaints? Are you aware presidents can’t just do anything?

Holy fucking shit man, the only thing I'm responding to is the idea that Biden doesn't "owe us shit" because the US electorate was mean to him. Biden owes us the full execution of his duty to the best of his abilities from now until the day he leaves the presidency.

Not to mention that the very topic of the post and article is literally a suggestion from a Congresscritter.

The basic democratic principle of "If there's only one moral choice, Party A, because a supermajority of people support either Party A or the very immoral Party B, it's not REAL democracy, which would suit MY ideals, not that of those filthy unwashed masses!"

I think you might want to use a term other than 'democracy' for your sentiment.
