      Democratic candidates will campaign on retaking both houses and then promise to work across the aisle for common sense tax reform.

    Dem voters have been to the left of Dem leadership for at least a couple of decades now. But the big corporate donors don’t want policies that help people. They want neocon subjugation.

        Aha! Excellent question! The reason why human decency is considered evil is very simple.

        When Jesus escaped the cross and purged everyone who tried to kill him at Golgotha, he explained that forgiveness, mercy, and humility are weaknesses of the human condition. If you feel someone has crossed you, then you are obligated by the LORD to get revenge, or you would be committing the mortal sin of mercy.

        Observe Figure A down below. The evil ones who perverted Christ’s message favor the straight cross, since they believe that he actually wanted humans to be humble, forgiving, and weak. The true followers use this bent ends variant, which demonstrates how Christ changed his mind after the Romans failed to kill him.

          Is this a shitpost? I can’t find any evidence of any of this. Is this like some fringe version of Christianity like the Rosicrucians or something?

          I feel like I’m missing a joke.

            There’s a massive silent /s at the end of that. It’s pointing out how warped conservative culture Christian ideology is, that they’re preaching the exact opposite of what Jesus actually taught, under a nazi symbol.

              Thank you lol Its really hard to distinguish that especially on something like Lemmy because so many people will actually believe and post about the most insane shit and be 100% sincere about it.

            It’s the “Inquisitor Cycle” variant of Christianity. I don’t think they have an official name, so…yeah.

    It should just be the progressive party. I’m so done with the bullshit that changes nothing of the status quo that everyone is unhappy with.

    This is the best time for it to be implemented. The next president will have the biggest opportunity to make huge sweeping disruptive changes. I just don’t think the democrats have the balls to force it like they will be able to with the sweep.

    As far as this position on the issues, I’m pretty sure this was already a majority opinion anyway?

    That kind of thing - polling on issues that actually fucking matter to everyone - is exactly why the Republicans work so hard to try to paint the Democratic Party as trying to make everyone transgender and have men competing in every single K-12 female sports event…

    Suddenly we are arguing over “bathroom bills” and “men in women’s sports” instead of about things on which there is majority support, but which the oligarchs oppose.

      men competing in every single K-12 female sports event

      I kind of do want this, though? Like, not every event, but every once in a while let’s have a soccer match of a team of 6 year old girls versus a couple of middle-aged men. Just to see what happens.

      I’ll give you the first paragraph of each section.

      Introduction

      Liberal Democrats now make up a clear majority of their party ​and view universal healthcare, greater abortion access and higher taxes on the rich as essential political positions, underscoring how Democrats have moved ‌leftward in recent years, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.

      String of Victories

      Insurgent left-wing candidates this year have racked up a string of ​primary victories over more centrist Democrats, many of whom were backed by the party establishment. They have gone beyond New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s election last year in a deeply liberal city to vie for office in more politically divided states.

      Divisions on Israel

      Only ⁠16% of Democrats support military and economic support for Israel, while 57% oppose it, according to the Reuters/Ipsos poll. Among liberal Democrats, more than 80% said reducing or eliminating that support was either important or essential for any liberal; only 18% ​said it was not important.

      And this is the poll of interest:
