c/technology is 3x bigger than c/politics

Individuals like Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan have responded by wearing shirts that say “We should have more billionaires” in the color scheme and style of Mamdani’s campaign material.

Gen Z is an interesting bunch. Opting for blurry photos and bringing back JNCO jeans.

The 90’s are back.

Doesn’t matter. The guy made the same mistake for both elections.

Dumbest shit I’ve read on Lemmy. Period.

Pretty much agree with everything that you’ve said. The goal is to motivate the base and to galvanize a new wave of voters. You can’t achieve that if you don’t provide anything substantive.

Only it didn’t. Have you worked on your reading skills?

We already discussed this in another thread. The 2020 race was decided by Obama/DNC forcing multiple candidates to drop out. After Super Tuesday the chances were slim for Bernie to have any chance at winning and there was no point in voters coming out for the remaining primaries.

Stop spreading bullshit.

Hey, your username checks out!

What makes you think I don’t want to. Anyone who is sucking down air should be wanting to intervene.

There are plenty of people who wouldn’t wish to run a campaign and risk their own lives or the lives of their families to MAGA nutcases.

Not everyone has the capability and support to actually do it. I certainly don’t. Stewart does.

And therein lies my issue with celebrities running for office - money and power.

If he knew two years ago what he knows today, I have no doubt that he would have stepped up.

If he is truly the talented political thinker that you think he is, he already saw this coming. There were multiple progressive YouTube shows/podcasts that made this exact warning in 2020 because trump was just the symptom and we never addressed the underlying problems. Jon knew this as well, but chose not to step up.

Dems too busy watching the stock ticker

Ok, so you be the change you want to see.

You don’t want to? Well, that’s how Jon probably feels.

You’re welcome, everyone.

This is Lemmy. None of us understands what the fuck love is.

Mark Wahlberg. Racist meathead.

Exception: The Departed

I like Jon but don’t believe celebrities should run for office. He’s also repeatedly said he has no interest in years past, so this is just a pipe dream for liberals.

Oh yeah cause any critic is a Russian spy.

Slow down on the koolaid, bud.

Zelensky is actively censoring Ukraninan journalists from reporting any criticism on the war. Is this what you mean by comedians being good at making people agree with them?

Scott Kelly and Mark Kelly (twins, both were Navy Captains, both were Astronauts, one is now a Senator from Arizona) would be good, but they aren’t progressive enough.

The most generic democrats you could support
