My favorite thing about Lemmy is people are willing to make accurate criticisms about Obama and his policies instead of simping for him because he's charasmatic and a Democrat.
There's a weird disconnect between the left and the right where MAGA especially is so slavishly cultish that their guys can do no wrong. Whereas on the left, we generally have the critical thinking skills to admit that our guys aren't always doing the right thing.
The extreme of that being single-issue voters?
It really depends on what you consider a leftist. People on Reddit would call themselves "the left" and act like Obama is flawless and accuse you of being a maga if you feel otherwise.
annoying part is you can see they're setting up the same shit with Newscom/Pritzker
make some big publicity stunts on tv talking a big game, doing these cute little marches, all while greenlighting ICE to harass their surrounding poor neighborhoods long as they stay out of their donor neighborhoods
No politician should be simped for.
Unfortunately, simping has proven to be very effective :(
Yeah turning politics into a fandom changed the game for the worst in a lot of ways
Now that politics is a team sport, what's the over/under on how long it takes to legalize gambling on politics? I'm sure the gambling apps are lobbying for that right now.
That shouldn't fuck up anything, right? Nobody could be bribed to throw a race could they?
Arguably campaign contributions already count as half bet half bribe
