Eh, the community is huge on Reddit so clearly the fans exist (and I'm one but just took a big social media break for awhile so that didn't help). Lemmy just needs more people with more diverse interests.

Lol that's such a Nazi thing to say. There is no battlefield. There's the settlers taking people's homes and the concentration camp they've put their victims in. There's the genociders, supplied with the most advanced weapons in the world, and the genocidees, who have been abandoned by everyone but Yemen. And I hope Israel falls before they can complete their Final Solution.
There were some things she did early in the primary that kind of inspired me tbh. I really liked the Walz VP pick, especially when it looked like she was going to pick a more conservative Dem like Shapiro the Zionist or Mark Kelly. She also had a more youthful energy to contrast against Biden's clearly aging and tired energy during his campaign. But then they squandered it by listening to the consultants and focus groups trying to triangulate to get Haley Republicans or whatever they were trying to do.
IDF has lied about command centers below hospitals forever and continue to do so. Their word means less than nothing. If he was killed in the hospital, it's because he was getting treatment. If he was under the hospital it's because tunnels are everywhere throughout Gaza because it's the only wait to move or go anywhere without getting bombed and killed. The area is super concentrated and full of people because Israel keeps taking land and rounding them in smaller and smaller areas, like a concentration camp.
And if killing civilians is okay if they're mixing with soldiers, then Israel deserves a thousand October 7th's. They killed dozens more, including wounded, children, and pregnant to get one guy in this one attack. Comparing that that to the hundreds of thousands Israel has killed and virtually everyone in it being an IDF member or supporting of them, then the state itself and every genocidal piece of shit in it needs to die in the same hell fire they're raining on Gazans. This is your twisted logic.
Oh that is kinda sad.
Tbh, I don't think it can be reformed either lol. I think our Constitution and the procedures to change it are extremely broken and a new Constitution would need to be written for this state to have any hope. The founding fathers gave it a good try, but there were a lot of problems they couldn't foresee, they were one of the first democracies so they made a lot of mistakes. The state needs to be rebuilt from the ground up, same as apartheid South Africa and present day Israel.
But at least the US government can conceivably change out its whole leadership structure through democracy. The powers that control the Democratic party are not as such, they're a mix of powerful politicians, rich donors, staffers that have been there for decades, not just democratically elected people.
I used it a little in a recent project, but I'm mostly a backend dev and am new to front end. When I Googlef how to make stuff pretty or improve UI, a lot of results were still related to Bootstrap, probably because it was so ubiquitous for so many years.
I think every election cycle there's probably people who get jaded, hence all the non-voters.
And it's only 60 senate seats because they've decided it needs it. The majority sets the rules like that, they could make it happen if they wanted to and change them if they wanted to. The only time they've ever done it is to approve some Federal judges. Otherwise, they usually let the Republicans overturn norms, which just makes us go further right.
To be clear, we'd need a large movement in this country to abandon the Democratic party before I think it would work, but I think it's worth pushing for because the Dems seem like a lost cause, unless all of the leadership and entrenched establishment within there is changed at the same time. It's the same reason you can't change a corrupt police department by joining as a good cop. It just doesn't work that way. Besides, it's happened before in this country with a popular enough leader (it's why we don't have Whigs anymore, or a Bull Moose party).
I don't think it is easier. The DNC controls the processes and all the systems within their own party plus the media biases, while a third party who makes it to the general only has to contend with the normal difficulties of the media. They've done different kinds of maneuvering each of the last 3 primaries to prove this, not to mention other things like tipping the scales in local primaries or choosing that old guy over AOC for that committee seat they were fighting for.
A lot of anti-establishment voters went from Bernie to Trump, so I think the right candidate can maneuver this middle path, not by being a centrist but by appealing to people who hate the establishment in this country but want someone other than Trump after he no doubt fucks up again.
This wasn't the time to did it as it's always been done when everyone and their mother knew Trump was a dangerous fascist President and could see the warning signs of Biden's age.
