Don’t worry. The most important part of software development these days is not to make sure the code works and is free of errors, it is to attend the daily standups and the many other “agile” time waster meetings. If the software sends your money to another person instead like the software my company created, they can just fix it in some followup sprint 6 months later. Maybe.
[Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), the only Republican to join Democrats in opposing the resolution, disagrees. “Why would we help the big banks at the expense of working people?” Hawley asked reporters following the vote, per Semafor. “I just don’t understand it.”]
Wow I would have never guessed that Jog Hallway of all people would be on the people’s side of this.
Seems like the only time we have leverage as voters is during the election.
And you predictably used that ‘leverage’ to make things much worse. Now we have 700 people routinely killed in one day under Trump, with total apathy from preople who used to cry ‘genocide’. Everybody with common sense knew that Gazans would be way worse off with Trump in the WH. Both the big increase in killings under Trump and the increase in apathy about the killings under Trump were things that we already knew were going to happen under Trump back when irresponsible people were crying “genocide” during the election. There was never any chance that you were going to improve things by doing that and the entirely predictable result in increases in both killings and apathy.
By 2024, Harris and running mate Tim Walz failed to directly or meaningfully mention the impacts of racism, police brutality, inequality or diversity in their 82-page policy platform.
That is a very good thing for 2 reasons. (1) It would have sunk them in the election, and (2) Dems already so way too much identity politics which is what always sinks them in the elections.
Science has nothing at all to do with voodoo economics and nobody thinks that it does.
Its insane to be against science and intelligence and knowledge.
“Move Fast and Break Things” for government translates to…
Move fast to give billionaires gigantic tax cuts and break Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
It is extremely important for people to stand up to Trump. Everyone from European nations to US federal workers to media outlets to members of congress should be opposing Trump’s bullying to the maximum extent.
He promised a move left, while Harris promised a move right. They were not running the same campaign.
Nope. The Harris platform was more to the left than Biden. She was going to impose additional taxes on corporations and billionaires that went beyond Biden.
She played the same plays as Hilary: I’m not Trump. I’ll save democracy. Israel is cool.
Even though Hilary always had a bunch of Muslim women in the background of all her crowds and identity politics helped sink her campaign.
Trump and the GOP raised taxes on most middle class income groups in 2017, according to the official congressional JCT analysis.
Let it burn and be replaced by a workers party that represents us.
That went horribly wrong in Russia. It turned out Lenin and Stalin didn’t represent anybody besides themselves. And their main targets weren’t people on the right, it was the other 2 socialist parties, the Socialist Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks.
Yep. Every time I hear Jeffries talk I am thinking “shut the fuck up and go fetch AOC”.
Every time the Democrats lose, since Reagan won, they move right because they think they lost because they weren’t conservative enough.
That was true thru Obama but it stopped with Biden. Biden was the most progressive president since LBJ, even though Dem voters could have chosen even more progressive candidates.
Gee, it’s almost as if all that bribe money ehhem I mean campaign finance donations have corrupted and shackled the Dems into consistently losing strategies.
They would be getting 3x more money if they had consistently winning strategies.
Unloading garbage nonsense that has the occasional inflammatory rhetoric is exciting.
Oh I agree that the #1 problem is that Harris needed to use way more aggressive rhetoric against Traitorapist Trump.
Harris initially said she was going to “prosecute” the case against Traitorapist Trump but then never did anything like that. All she had to do to win was use way more aggressive rhetoric. She never used the phrase “Convicted Criminal Trump” or “Treason Trump” She never used the phrase “legally certified rapist Trump”. She never pointed out that Trump hates the Free World and freedom and democracy. She never reminded voters that Trump had a 29% approval rating at the end of his term. She never pointed out that Trump is very disloyal to our longstanding core values. She never reminded people that Ted Cruz said that Trump “lies practically ever word that comes out of his mouth”.
Dems NEED much more aggressive candidates. No more of that business as usual shit.
The DNC needs a socially conservative but economically progressive candidate
Well they are 100% dependent on the voters for that.
I disagree a lot that Dems need a “socially conservative” candidate. What they do need is a candidate who does NOT focus on identity politics and does focus on wealth inequality and all directly and indirectly related issues.
If they were concerned with improving people’s lives they’d have implemented progressive economic policy
The DNC has no power to implement any policies. The House Democratic Caucus (HDC) and Senate Democratic Caucus (SDC) are the organizations with that power. The HDC/SDC are way more powerful than the DNC.
It’s the leftist-progressive economic policy exemplified by FDR’s New Deal.
Exactly. It’s not like we don’t already have a road map and historical examples of how to get it right.
Plus it will have all the usual edge case errors of software thrown together by some code monkey trying to make his “agile” arbitrary sprint deadline. Most places these days use a software development process that minimizes quality and maximizes bugs.
Move fast to give billionaires gigantic tax cuts and break Social Security!
