I’m seriously asking why anyone should bother if things will get 10% worse every year.

I'm serious things are getting worse for a lot of people. Maybe 10% is a bit hyperbolic, but my rent went up by more than 10% in just the last year, I know I'm not alone there.

Food prices went up, COVID subsidies ended, energy prices go up, transport costs go up. All tied to this admins foreign and domestic policies.

We can quibble over if it's 10% or something slightly lower number, but unless you're in a bubble things have been getting worse for people.

Also why bother? I'm willing to fight even if it looks hopeless and I don't think I'm alone there either.

So accusing left wingers of being right wing is okay as far as you're concerned if it's about an election

Pointing out that from a left wing perspective, Biden and the Democrats are doing bad things and their supporters are right wing: wrong, not descriptive, belongs in a tankie shit hole.

I wouldn’t want anyone going down an extremist pipeline on either side of the political spectrum.

This isn't a binary thing, there's plenty of centrist extremists and echo chambers for them

I agree with you that this conflict needs a resolution, it's possible lemmy.ml has done some things wrong, that's why I support a two state solution that guarantees lemmy.mls security.
