I can believe that she doesn’t know anything about fediverse, I can believe that her team doesn’t know anything about fediverse as a whole, but that neither she nor her team knows anything about Mastodon, no, I don’t believe that.
I don’t know the whole of Europe, but I do know that in general the financing of politicians works very differently and it is not normal to donate money to a politician in the same way as there.
Paying for a politician to pay attention to you must be the most American thing I have ever seen. They should use fedivers because it is correct, if they don’t, they don’t deserve my money (I’m not from there so I personally wasn’t going to donate anything either)
I don’t understand the coconut and kamala thing.
Context: I am not American and my English level is limited.
The important thing about the trip is not to see more places or take more pics, it’s to spend time with her, it is better to leave without visiting that town that is surely not that good at the end, and spend an afternoon just chatting with her in a nice place.I think that makes better memories than being stressed all day because of a tight schedule.
Well, for them, organizing clean and fair elections is not acceptable, not giving fascists due advantages is electoral interference
Be more concerned about enjoying your girlfriend than enjoying the place.
Political parties that pay more attention to their voters than to the rich? Yes, many. Parties that fulfill that and are electorally successful? None or almost
Yes, I understand you, in my country it has not yet taken hold in a drastic way, but you see how politicians with ideas, social democrats at most, are treated in the press like ultra-intractable radical leftists.
Thanks for the info, I wasn’t paying attention, but because British politics doesn’t affect me of course, I’m sorry for what it does.
What you say is better than what the Tories did, but with such a large majority they could seize the opportunity and renationalise some privatized services, improve and adequately finance those that the right was letting die, change the tax system so that the upper classes help to finance the state. You already know, things that should be normal on the left until the “third way”
Like op, I’m not British and I wonder if this would be possible or do we forget that something like this is going to happen, I don’t know, if you’re from there, tell us.
And this is the reason why the democratic party does not respond to the interests of the working class. The words of a super rich person have more influence than thousands or millions of people saying the same thing in surveys. This time those voices are aligned, but if next time they are not, the voice of the super rich will be the one they hear instead of yours.
Yes, I suppose you are right, the most basic thing has not failed but certain fundamental and important institutions seem to be in it, in any case one can have a horrible and dystopian but functional totalitarian state, without being failed, I don’t know if I explain my point correctly .
this is also for @9point6@lemmy.world, I don’t know how to answer both of you at the same time, but what I say is valid for both of us.
Yes well, I was trying to be a little sarcastic with the headline, but looking at people’s votes I think I have failed miserably.
Oh, I thought you were an American worried about how you look outside and I was trying to calm you down. I respect your perspective of course, but it seems to me that a failed state is a bit exaggerated for this, Somalia or Yemen are still a little worse than the USA in the comparison. Authoritarian, close to breaking up as a nation, things like that I think are closer to reality, that is my vision also from the outside, I could be wrong and you may be closer to reality.
No, from Europe I tell you, we see you as less democratic than you used to and with many problems that can escalate and screw you up (we are not celebrating here either), but you are still far from being a failed state, there are still police more or less functional, you can still call the fire department if your house catches fire, there is still a clear institutional hierarchy, more authoritarian but clear.
Yes, the speed at which you are flushing democracy down the toilet, when, I don’t know maybe 20 years ago, you were the example to follow in many aspects, it is surprising for everyone.
Like now? The president has always been able to assassinate you, officially, the difference is that before he would have gone to jail and now he won’t.
Yeah, I guess you could be right.
I guess you could call it “the final solution to the Palestinian question”
