should have got some saffron smdh
The rot runs the party, you aren't going to clear them out without overthrowing them somehow.
I think the DSA should split the party.

And there never will be.
Maybe the Democrats aren't the best vehicle for progressive ideas.
So? He wants this because his donors want it, of course, but that doesn't change the fact that he's using leverage to get what he wants.
You will own nothing ~~and be happy~~.
He has more leverage now than he ever will, and he's using that leverage to get what he wants.
Sure would be nice if Dems did that

We wouldn't really be using our electoral system if everyone was a Supreme Court Justice, it'd be a much more direct voting system without an electoral college and if no result got >50% the Court would be hung and there would be no decision.
Honestly better than our shitty elections.
Trump has never gotten more than 50% of the vote.
That's basically true, but I think capitalism would overthrow direct democracy.
People would vote for higher wages and then there'd be a coup.
I don't buy these anti-democracy talking points, the problem in the US has always been that we have too little democracy.
The People are often ahead of the Supreme Court historically - look at same sex marriage. Same sex marriage approval crossed the 50% threshold in 2011 but the Court didn't reach that conclusion until 2015. Go back farther and look at segregation - the majority of the US approved of desegregating schools and busses at the time of the ruling. If this was a democracy we'd have had those rights possibly earlier because the Court is either in-line with or behind public opinion.
And I know for a fact that a democratic Supreme Court wouldn't have ruled in Citizens United that bribery is legal.
Another reddit.world community got mad at me for saying "death to US" and now I'm banned. That's fine! But why can't I block them now? I am forced to see their posts every time I go to /all and can't comment or vote, so am effectively forced to view content without any ability to interact.
I don't want to see their posts and should be able to block them from my /all feed
Here look! When I'm not banned there's a clear option to block the community:
But after being banned I now can't block the community, I'm forced to keep seeing it in my feed!
SOLVED: From the user settings page there is a tab for Blocks next to the tab for Settings, and you can manually search for the community you wish to block in a search bar. That worked, even if the UI on the community page was messed up by the block message.

Fried rice with broccoli, peas, carrots, kidney beans, and a ghost pepper I grew myself 🔥
(lemmy.ml)
I'm experimenting a lot with fried rice at the moment and I think I'm getting pretty good at it?
Unfortunately didn't have any carrot, but still turned out really good!
Beans and rice cooked in diluted pineapple juice, with peppers, corn, and pineapple tidbits. Then your usual taco fixins (lettuce, onion, tomato, hot sauce) on a store-bought tortilla.
It's got onion and tomato and lettuce and cucumbers and jalapenos and bell peppers and smokey tvp and some spicy sauce 🤤
The potatoes are mixed with fried tvp, peas, and carrots. The cauliflower are breaded and airfried, coated with a spicy buffalo barbecue sauce.
Miiiight have cooked a little too much tho 😅
Also here's an action shot
Carmelized onions and garlic, cubed potatoes, bell peppers, and egg substitute; topped with hot-sauce, with a cup of white chai on the side.
Just a simple chili made with four tomatoes, one onion, half a bell pepper, a three chipotles in abado sauce, a clove of garlic, a couple tbsp of chili powder, a tbsp of oil, and then topped with nooch and air fried kidney beans.
I think I'll spring for mango or pineapple next time.

Their job is to serve their donors. That's why a few Democrats threw themselves on a landmine to collaborate with Republicans to end the shutdown, despite voters showing them clear and obvious support on election day. They had literally zero electoral reason to cave, they did it because the rot runs the party.
The rot can either be cut out, so overthrowing the party leadership, or the party can be left behind to rot in the dustbin of history. If we do not address the rot everything will get worse forever until the country collapses.
