this agenda would be considered moderate to conservative.

there being differences between the American and European political spectrums overall. Historically, they aren't the same. That said, there has been a notable radicalization and normalization of populist RW politics worldwide for the last decade.

That everyone's losing their fucking marbles and going fascist right now is irrelevant to the fact that what's considered "progressive/extreme" by centrists and conservatives in the US is mainstream among the European left, and has been for quite some time.

A bit of sarcasm was probably intended by AOC, or whoever else originated the meme.

for anything that is slightly left of center. It’s part of their strategy. Like calling us the Democrat Party.

They'll repeatedly dismiss even the most commonsense, moderate policies as "far left". It is indeed part of their bag of propaganda tricks.

Holding the SCOTUS accountable.

The urgent need to hold Trump, President Muskrat, all the traitorous J6ers, MAGA, and delusional Christian Nationalists accountable goes without saying.

Should be stop killing blacks at traffic stops.

As a union heavy equipment operator, I had to take drug tests on a random basis and once a month to show that I was capable of driving the equipment. I'd like to see the police doing mandatory drug tests at least monthly. Steroids, amphetamines, and cocaine.

Should have to take drug tests. Impairment testing tests for all type of impairment, alcohol, drugs, too sick and not enough sleep.


Impairment testing has the potential to protect workplace safety far better than drug testing because it indicates:

a person’s condition at the time they are working, not at some point in the indeterminate past.
impairment from all sources, not only from illegal drugs.
Impairment testing also appears to be less invasive of employees’ privacy because it:

is not physically intrusive.
does not disclose information about an employee’s private life.
Moreover, these benefits come at no additional cost. Urine testing requires no initial investment, but there is a charge for each individual test. Impairment testing requires an initial investment in hardware and software. The variable cost per test, however, is virtually nothing. For a very small company, impairment testing might be more expensive. But for a company of any significant size (greater than 100 employees) the money saved by eliminating the cost per test generally exceeds the cost of the initial investment, making impairment testing less expensive than urine testing.

Good time as any to start the impeachment process. Love to watch this guy Trump spin out completely. The so called left needs to bring it now and from now on , don't take foot off the pedal. The world is in crisis leadership is needed. The world right wing nazis are licking their chops. The priorities have been pointed out, don't want to go down any one rabbit hole. Sane people should know by now that drastic times require drastic measures, get creative ,
so before the Jan. 6th turn everything over to the oligarchs bash lets get crazy smart, change history for the good of all peoples. In Solidarity Gary De.

Give the hellbeast endless impeachment investigations and votes for same. Constant ethics complaints on MAGA congress critters.
No peace for any of them.

Whether you're a cab driver, billionaire or President elect.

yes indeed

...try to figure out how to get through the next 2 years until the midterms without losing my mind.
Go for walks in the afternoon.
Try to save money.
Play music more.
Post on DU and Bluesky.
Be kind to others.
Avoid Magats and other toxic people.
Breathe deeply.
Listen to the wind.
Plant more fruit trees.
Try to finally retire.

we were all in this together
Love guided our actions
The wealthy found more joy in their ability to help than to take
We joined an army against climate change
Waged peace

My hero was John Lennon. He imagined it. Beautiful. And I wish. And hope. I just couldn't imagine being a billionaire and wanting to cut funds to take away research for childhood cancer. What a grinch.

things were bad but not nearly this bad

But I do think we have to do as much imagining the way we want it to be as they way we fear.
The world has a way of giving us what we think about

We may need a new oven.
