With the 2024 presidential race beginning to unfold, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont said he believes that President Joe Biden will again earn the Democratic nomination — and the president likely win reelection if he runs on a strong progressive campaign....
I honestly don’t consider a country a democracy is a candidate goes unopposed for a primary due to party’s handwringing. Heck, I consider last primary. By the time I got to vote Bernie had already dropped out and there was only one option.
On just one of those, because imo climate is the biggest problem right now, I think there is tons more he needs to do. We are to the point where a climate emergency needs to be instated and drastic measures need to be taken. Im talking no oversight emergencies power and regulations to industry.
We all work in different industries and could run off tons of idea per industry that could reduce emissions. Heres what could be done for tech, for example.
Mandated long 10 year support cycles on consumer goods, reparability, phasing into RISC based architectures to reduce energy consumption with a governmentally backed x86 compatibility layer funded by tax dollars to insure compatibility.
Reduce server loads by banning digital ads and tracking protocols, as well as creating site standards that reduce bloat.
Heck, incentives for work from home would drastically cut our vehicle emissions.
Im sure we all could do what I did for every single industry with even greater depth. We need a no oversight emergency commision to do just that and insights it.
I think it has become more than apparent that our federation with Hexbear has degraded the quality of browsing on this instance. I’m generally for open federation, but the amount of brigading and general toxicity is not conducive to the friendly communications that make Lemmy great.
Ill just leave my link attached. I think it speaks for itself, and the degradation in the quality of Lemmy as a whole.
Not to be dramatic, because I quite like lemmy.one, but I’m going to have to swap to an instance that has defederated until we are given instance wide blocking. Ill return once its implemented though if we don’t otherwise defederate first.
Thats what Im taking about. You arent helping your point. And you are now in my community, so if we are in agreement, then you can stop commenting here while we engage in healthy. discourse.
This has nothing do with politics. As your image helpfully shows, Im a libertarian communist. Our ideals are quite close.
But, as I posted, hexbear behavior is unbecoming and unwelcoming. That’s why hexbear should be defederated, as that is the culture there most unfortunately.
Thank you BTW, but do you not think this level of vitriol from the other user is not justified. I did not say anything remotely worth that immediate harassment.
Thats kind of the point of this post. Hexbear has rightly become maligned because this is how every single conversation goes.
If I, a politically friendly person is met with that much hostility, then how do you expect hexbear to behave across Lemmy as a whole?
Jonah, I just point this comment to you. Perhaps you disagree, but this isnt a healthy discourse. I know they arent hexbear, but they do speak to what they bring to the table.
I think it is worth noting, at least as far as political Compass theory is concerned, that the top and bottom left ends of the spectrum are just as polarized as the right and left end. I personally dont believe communism and authoritarianism is mutually exclusive. Im a libertarian communist. Read as Small government communism.
I reported a hexbear harasser to a hexbear mod… thought I was reporting it here but they are hitting me in multiple threads so I lost track of which one I reported to.
Then the mod harassed me in DMs. Sounds about right.
Then they posted to main hexbear my report and name so Im Lilley going to be harassed more.
Im a pretty patient dude, but Im going to have to delete my account if we don’t do something soon @jonah

Is the fairphone really worth it?
The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high…...
