Ok. Sure.

I found that in about thirty seconds of googling.
Are you like… do you not read the news much man…? This is like if you got confused because you had never heard of a shooting taking place at a school before
Once… what is happening in this US?
Are you not aware that people are punished / investigated for social media postings every single day? This is really not hidden news man lol
Yeah man I think police are on the whole stupid bastards but I still think if you reported seeing a post from a neo nazi saying he’s going to burn down the local gay bar on Facebook they’d still look into it
I agree ACAB, that’s why anonymous complaints are a good thing. That way the cops can’t easily retaliate on you if you report a neo-nazi threat you saw on Facebook and it turns out to be their buddy
Anonymous complaints are a good thing, it’s often important to be able to report something non-publicly. It’s just being exploited here.
Why do neo Nazis need to overwhelm the police system. They’re often the same guys.
TL;DR nothingburger. Bureaucratic process says the DNC has to meet by a specific date, the DNC doesn’t really want to, it’s filing a waiver for a time extension that will almost absolutely get passed without issue.
Joe Biden will most definitely be on the Ohio ballot. Hes still going to lose the state, but he’ll be on the ballot
You’ve been talking to them all your life though. So you must have gotten a lot of progress done yeah? You make it sound like you just heard about hybrids lately.
If you’ve talked to them then why hasn’t the change happened
Good lord you’re a crybaby. I say something is an objectively big task to do and you instantly start stamping your feet that I didn’t first preface how good and noble of a goal it was enough beforehand so I must have evil intentions.
Do I need to make every statement starting with “I absolutely support building transportation and our local unions, however, it may be a large task. But! By overthrowing the ruling class and working together we can get it done!” For you to not be offended? Get a grip dude.
Do you think that’s a typical experience for the average American
Okay. How many senators have you gotten coffee with?
Okay. How do we influence those state representatives to pass that legislation?
Okay, well you just added several steps right there, and you’re still missing some.
Who increases fuel taxes and subsidies? How do we as a civilization get that done?
Why do people such as yourself read such a long comment, only to try to squeeze something out to disagree with?
I never said that. I never said anything of the sort. What drives you to do such a thing?
Well, those are two very different things. One is essentially for politicians and basically amounts to “just get Congress to do better” (a whole lot easier said than done) and one is an act that essentially has to be championed by a person or organization and then implemented by a masse of people. Greta has called for boycotts before, so under this definition she’s good under your boat.
I’ve read other comments of yours, and many of them are reasonable (more reasonable than the average user at least) and not worthy of downvotes. But your solutions seem to be missing a few steps between “be where we are now” and “just get everyone to drive a hybrid”.
Yes, you, the guy who loves cops and wants more cops and supports everything god king Biden does is definitely a good progressive, and definitely not just a fascist wearing blue.
Not just in Lemmy, but I think there’s an increasing divide between the demographic I’m going to call “has only ever lived in a major city” and “everyone else”, especially online.
A shocking amount of people (to me) have never once in their life lived in an area with less than like 500,000 people. To many of these people, it is incomprehensible to imagine that a lot of people have legitimate needs for cars. They have good intentions, and many of them are otherwise smart people, but they really struggle to imagine how and where many Americans live, and what all goes into things like the transportation of goods and services.
Public transportation is great! But without what would be the largest investment in infrastructure in human history by several magnitudes there’s simply no way to just get rid of 90% of car ownership or whatever.
Genuinely curious: what does a “serious person” do to change minds here?
I’m not kidding dude you might be genuinely schizophrenic.
